The property was wonderful, with the hostess and all the staff being attentive and considerate. We are truly grateful for accommodating our unreasonable requests. The room and hallway were well-maintained, and the garden exuded a dignified beauty. Thank you for taking care of us.

The Room is comfortable with a pleasant view, and you can enjoy the nearby Heart Rock all to yourself on an early morning walk. The homemade vegetable-rich breakfast prepared by the warm and kind owner was also very delicious.

Wonderful for young golf lovers. About a 1.5-hour drive from Aomori Airport by rental car; there is only a short stretch of expressway, but you have to make many left and right turns. Some sections are narrow two-lane or one-lane roads, and the narrow coastal road can feel a bit scary. You can’t drive fast. The lodge and dining area are connected to the clubhouse’s large public bath (very nice; Natsudomari Onsen until 10:00 p.m.) and the main dining room, where set meals are served (Japanese-style breakfast and dinner), all delicious. The lodge rooms are spacious for four guests and come with a bathtub and shower; having two sinks is great. Very comfortable. Since it’s inside the golf course, the views are outstanding, and both the lobby atmosphere and service are excellent. The only issue is access.

In early summer, Furano and Biei are breathtaking, with vast flower fields starting with lavender—more beautiful than I expected. And a trip really depends on the Accommodation; choosing this one was absolutely the right decision. The view from the dining area was soothing, every dish made with plenty of local ingredients was delicious, and there was a great selection of drinks. The lavender milk ice cream for dessert was especially wonderful! The seasonal Furano melon was also incredibly sweet—an unforgettable taste. To my surprise, the owner and I share exactly the same date of birth, which left me both amazed and feeling an instant connection. It became a lovely travel memory. I would love to visit again someday. Thank you very much.

As the first trip to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, we stayed at Arayashiki in Oki. We were able to relax as if we were at home, including enjoying the garden with a sky full of stars and a campfire. The meals reflected a deep respect for nature and made us feel, “This is what doing things right looks like.” The nature on Dogo Island was wonderful, but as someone who loves spectacular views, I’m glad we made the effort to visit Matengai Cliff in Dozen. If the timing works out, I’d love for our children to experience this too.

The only downside was the stairs (our dog is heavy, and we liked it so much that we’d love to bring an elderly family member next time), but this was a wonderful Accommodation that more than made up for it. The food was delicious (the Shizuoka oden was amazing), and there’s a great variety of alcohol—very generous! (and you can even drink from the morning). The amenities are stylish, and the nearby Onsen that guests can use for free was fantastic. The Room shower is also spacious, so even large dogs can feel comfortable. Oh, one more downside: the bed was a bit narrow. Other than that, we have no complaints at all. We’ll definitely be back!

I visited with a friend for our once-a-year, slightly indulgent girls’ trip. The Accommodation seems to be located right in front of a local bus stop, but part of the national highway on the bus route was closed due to a landslide and buses were taking a detour, meaning extra travel time from both Takayama and Matsumoto. So my friend drove from Nagoya instead. We took a short break at the Hirugano Kogen Service Area to enjoy the magnificent scenery, and arrived comfortably in just under three hours with no traffic. There were spots with some snow remaining along the sides of the road, but there was no snow on the road itself. Even so, it gets cold in the mornings and evenings, so winter tires are recommended for peace of mind in case of icy conditions. The building is kept impeccably clean and is wrapped in a pleasant quietness and the lovely aroma of charcoal from the irori hearth—while our Room had no odor at all. We were welcomed into a spacious Room with delicious homemade pound cake as part of their hospitality, and as we chatted comfortably, time flew by. The cuisine was truly outstanding—bringing out the full flavor of each ingredient while presenting combinations and plating unlike anything I’d experienced before, far exceeding its reputation and my expectations. As richer foods have started to leave me feeling heavy or unwell the next day over recent years, I especially appreciated how refined every dish was; it felt like food I could happily enjoy even in my 80s without any heaviness. The chef’s and staff’s genuine desire for guests to enjoy themselves came through clearly. Perhaps because of the high altitude, alcohol seemed to hit more quickly—and since I also wanted to bathe—I unfortunately didn’t get around to trying the local craft beer or sake provided in our Room. Still, stepping outside after the sauna into crisp mountain air with grand peaks right before us felt incredible. The private hot Onsen bath attached to our Room—hotter than expected—with jazz at night and birdsong in the morning was pure luxury: an unbelievably relaxing stay beyond what I could imagine. I’d love to return to experience another season’s cuisine as well—I’ve become a true fan. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

The wonderful view overlooking Chiba Park and the very stylish Room made for an extremely comfortable stay. I would have been even happier if the in-room selection of tea bags and drip coffee packs had been a bit more extensive. Also, I personally didn’t mind that there was no TV in the Room at all, but this may be a matter of preference depending on the guest. Overall, it was a refined and excellent Hotel.

We stayed as a family with my parents, daughter, and us as a couple. This was our second time experiencing the Machiya style, and the air conditioning allowed for comfortable temperature control in each room. We enjoyed meals and family time in the Japanese-style room on the first floor, watching TV and relaxing together. The breakfast delivery from Izusen was delicious. Please note that large vehicles cannot be parked on-site; nearby parking lots are recommended for those traveling by car. In autumn, the garden's autumn leaves must be stunning. Famous spots like Hyotei (known for its morning porridge), Nanzenji Temple, Heian Shrine, and Shoren-in Temple are within walking distance. A short stroll also reveals charming streets full of traditional atmosphere.

We stayed with our 2-year-old and 0-year-old, and it was very convenient with a spacious bathing area, availability of bouncers and Bumbo seats, as well as baby gates. The place was clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

Staying in this renovated historic building was a truly unique experience that we don’t usually get to have. The thoughtful touches were wonderful, and the staff spoke to us kindly and warmly. Breakfast was also very delicious.

We stayed as a family, and the owner's warm hospitality was truly wonderful, making it a delightful stay for our children as well. The owner kindly played with the kids and gently taught them how to fish, showing great kindness. There is also a famous shop nearby selling Sata Andagi, which was delicious. However, the children were overjoyed and said that the handmade Sata Andagi from the owner's wife was "absolutely better!" The lagoon right in front offers an excellent location for kayaking. Unfortunately, due to wind conditions this time, we couldn't visit 17ND. We are determined to try again next time! We will definitely return!

We stayed here with children. All the necessary amenities (cooking utensils, tableware, etc.) were well provided, and we could really feel the owner’s attention to detail, including the interior design. The moment you step into the Room, you can’t help but think, “Wonderful!” Above all, the view of the ocean from the second floor is exceptional—like a painting. The weather during our stay wasn’t great, but we’d love to visit again on a clear day. (It’s still a lovely view even when it’s cloudy.) There aren’t any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, but within about a 15-minute drive there are cafés, small shops, and activity providers—so you won’t have any trouble. A beautiful beach is also within walking distance. There’s also a small local shop nearby, so basic items like drinks, cup noodles, and snacks are easy to get. Having a washer-dryer, extra towels, and a large refrigerator was extremely helpful for a longer stay as well. The only downside is that there is no handrail on the stairs, so it feels unsafe to let small children go up and down on their own. It might be scary for older guests too. All in all, this is definitely a place we’d like to stay again when visiting Ishigaki Island.

The location from the Room, the spaciousness of the bath, and the staff's hospitality were all excellent and very satisfying. I would love to use your services again in the coming years. Thank you very much.

Conveniently located near Takayama Station with excellent access. The room is compact yet simple, comfortable, and well-equipped. However, larger individuals might find the space between the beds a bit tight. Additionally, there is no view from the room, so it may not be suitable for those who prioritize scenery. The bath area is very spacious with separate washing areas; while it’s not an Onsen, you can still enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub. The toilet is also separate and designed with ample space. The staff provided warm and friendly service, leaving a positive impression. Communication among staff was seamless as well. Breakfast was served at the café on the first floor—perfectly portioned with great balance and flavor that left us satisfied. It was a Hotel we’d love to visit again in the future! Thank you very much!

I stayed in the Pokémon Room for two nights. Most of the guests were foreigners, and there were hardly any Japanese guests. Still, it was a comfortable trip.

During the Obon holiday, we spontaneously decided on a trip to Iwate and were lucky to find availability for accommodation. We stayed as a couple in a luxurious traditional Japanese house located on the site of an old castle. We bought local ingredients and sake from a nearby supermarket and enjoyed cooking ourselves. The joy of savoring fresh vegetables and meat we personally selected is one of the unique pleasures of having the entire place to ourselves. The facility provided plenty of dishes and glasses for use. For breakfast, complimentary homemade crispy green peppers, eggplants, rice, and more were offered. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are modern and comfortable. The surroundings are incredibly quiet, with sounds of insects at night and birds in the morning creating a nostalgic countryside atmosphere. As someone who grew up in an old countryside house myself, I found many inspiring ideas for renovations here. The owner was kind throughout our stay while maintaining just the right amount of distance for comfort. This is a place that makes you want to return every year. Thank you very much!

We stayed here as a family of five for a short Father’s Day getaway. The house overlooks a beautiful garden, and we were able to relax completely. The interior was very clean, and the Isamu Noguchi lighting, indirect lighting, Room(s), and garden were all beautifully arranged with a wonderful atmosphere. The exposed ceiling beams added warmth and character. The kitchen was spacious and spotless, with well-stocked tableware—perfect for plating brought-in meals nicely. We also really appreciated the high-quality hanger stand and hangers—small details like that made a big difference. The chairs and tables were lovely as well, and the overall sleek modern design blended perfectly with the traditional Japanese farmhouse style, creating a comfortable space throughout. We enjoyed spending time at our own pace in such an open, relaxing setting, and our whole family was very satisfied. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.
