This was our first visit for a birthday anniversary trip. Everything was outstanding. There are only 13 Rooms, and each is a separate, unique detached villa. The interior is thoughtfully designed down to every detail, spacious and comfortable, and the garden is beautifully maintained, making it a very relaxing stay. As Onsen lovers, we barely had time to rest—we fully enjoyed all seven private baths as well as the bath in our Room. There is no large public bath, but there are six private Onsen baths that you can use freely at any time. The water is free-flowing and feels wonderful. The meals were also beautifully presented with great attention to appearance as well as ingredients—decorated with orchids, stunning to look at, and very generous in portion size. From wagyu beef to lobster and shark fin, it was an incredibly luxurious and delicious dining experience. I recommend arriving with a big appetite. The staff’s hospitality and service were excellent too. We were truly glad we chose this place for our anniversary trip—it’s an Accommodation worth visiting even if you have to fly there. I’d love to come back in another season, and I’m also curious about other Rooms, so I’m sure we’ll return. If you’re unsure where to stay, I highly recommend this place.

I was impressed first by the wonderful view. If I had arrived earlier, I would have liked to relax in the lounge and enjoy it longer. Each dish tasted handmade. Everything was delicious, and since all drinks were free, I could dine slowly and comfortably without worry. I also liked the chef’s call when new dishes were served. The Room was clean, and I could unwind while looking out at the birch trees. Ideally, it would have been nice to have a large public bath, but the in-room bathroom was spacious and spotless, so I could soak in the tub at leisure. This is an Accommodation I’d love to visit again.

The breathtaking ocean view stretching out beyond the large windows was truly spectacular—it felt like being abroad in an amazing location! We brought together delicious ingredients purchased nearby and enjoyed a lively, fun dinner with our family of five and our dog. Both the kids and our dog were thrilled, and we were completely satisfied. All of the staff were very kind and helpful, and we truly appreciate it. Thank you!

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. The staff were very helpful, and when I returned the next day, I was happy to find fresh towels hanging on the doorknob. The bathroom was small, but I had a comfortable stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

We stayed at this Hotel for a company trip. It is in a great location—just a short walk from Kokusai-dori and within walking distance of both Miebashi Station and Makishi Station on the Yui Rail. The all-you-can-drink Awamori and Orion Beer servers on the first floor were also very popular with our group. I would definitely like to stay here again for a private trip.

My spouse and I stayed with our two dogs. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The dog meals also seemed tasty—our dogs finished them in no time. We were happy that the staff treated our very energetic dogs kindly. Everyone we interacted with—the front desk, the restaurant staff, and the Room service staff—was pleasant and welcoming. We stayed in a Room with a private garden, but unfortunately it rained, so we’d like to come again on a sunny day. Thank you very much.

Thank you for taking such great care of us on our dog’s first trip. Everyone on the staff was truly dog-first—playing with our dog and keeping them company—and we really appreciate it. Since our dog is large, you even upgraded us to a more spacious Room, and we’re so grateful for all your kindness. This is an Accommodation we’d love to visit again when traveling to Wakayama. The bath was also wonderful, with slightly silky natural hot spring water, and my skin felt so smooth the next day! Both our dog and we were completely satisfied. Thank you very much.

The property had a traditional Japanese style and was perfect for us as an elderly couple. From the attendants’ hospitality to the young proprietress seeing us off at check-out, and even driving us to the station, the service was impeccable. Above all, the meals were delicious and more than plentiful. If we have another chance to visit Atami, we would love to stay here again.

The Room was also kept very clean. Given the current situation, I’d say it offers outstanding value for money, including meals! It seems a new location will be opening near my hometown as well, and I’ll definitely use it.

This Accommodation is highly recommended. It’s close to the station and just a short walk to the sea. The meals are very generous in portion size, and we were extremely satisfied! Above all, just like our first stay… the staff were wonderfully warm and welcoming on our second visit as well! This Accommodation is also recommended for a solo getaway. We’ll be back again soon!

Upon arrival, your son—nearly three years old now—welcomed us with a cheerful “Welcome.” His slightly shy expression was so adorable that it instantly brought a smile to our faces. Having known him since he was a baby, seeing him again each year is one of the reasons we keep coming back. This time we stayed in the Room “Hagoromo.” From the spacious veranda, we could lie back at night and gaze up at a sky full of stars. Spending time there in the pleasant evening breeze, pleasantly tipsy after dinner and drinks, felt like pure luxury. The cuisine was a summer herbal course. The mousse-like sauce made with herbal broth had a distinctive depth of flavor—I couldn’t resist asking for a spoon and enjoyed every last drop. The tomato simmered in herbal broth and served chilled also had more of a Western touch than before, making it an elegant and refreshing dish. The happy-hour herbal-syrup frappe was perfect for cooling down after our walk; it felt truly reviving. The morning coffee also tasted exceptional, so I asked about it and learned they use rare peaberry beans. Because only one bean develops instead of the usual two, the flavor is said to be more concentrated—and I was told the owner carefully roasts them from green beans himself. I was deeply impressed to see the same sincere dedication found in their herbal cuisine reflected in their coffee as well. Once again during our meal, the proprietress spoke with us warmly by our side. I started writing Reviews after last year’s visit, and looking back, I realized that Accommodations I rated highly always shared one thing: heartfelt hospitality with true attention to detail. This Accommodation embodies that better than anywhere else—and I feel that even more strongly now.

This was our second stay. Our previous visit left a strong impression, and we were looking forward to coming back. The owners’ warm hospitality was just as wonderful this time, and we had a very comfortable stay. The Accommodation was kept spotless throughout, making it a relaxing place to be. The meals were excellent, and we especially enjoyed trying ingredients we rarely get to taste, such as wolf eel. This trip was also for a special anniversary, and thanks to your thoughtful kindness, it became a truly memorable stay. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t allow us to see the starry sky like last time, but every sightseeing spot you recommended was fantastic, and we were able to fully experience the charm of Eastern Hokkaido. When we visit Eastern Hokkaido again, we would love to stay here again.

The hot springs, the meals, and the Room were all wonderful. We were also deeply impressed by the warm hospitality and welcoming smiles of all the staff. We would love to visit again!

We stayed here with our dog. Above all, we were impressed by how spotless the villa was. The interior was carefully cleaned down to every corner, with no dust at all, so we could let our dog relax and roam freely with complete peace of mind. Not only the inside, but also the pool and lawn were beautifully maintained—the grass was clean enough for people to walk on barefoot. We were truly amazed at how impeccably kept it was as an Accommodation for guests traveling with dogs. From before our stay, we received very thoughtful emails, and throughout our visit we could feel the owner’s wonderful personality and hospitality in so many ways. Due to a typhoon, we had to give up one night of our originally planned two-night stay, but they handled everything very kindly and even extended both our check-in and check-out times for the remaining stay. Thanks to that, we were able to stay longer than expected and relax at a leisurely pace. At farewell, they even gave us a small gift—we were touched by their warm hospitality until the very end. The location is also excellent: convenience stores and the beach are nearby, and “Banya,” where you can enjoy delicious Kujukuri seafood together with your dog, is also close. The area is very quiet, so we could unwind at night as well. As a destination for traveling with a dog, it’s rare to find somewhere this safe and comfortable. It was truly a wonderful villa that made us want to come back again—definitely a repeat visit!

Just as in the photos on Ikkyu, the property is surrounded by nature, and the location overlooking the Kofu Basin is truly spectacular. The room is compact, but its tent-like design makes it fun. The bath isn’t a hot spring, but the night view from the open-air bath was stunning and more than satisfying. Before dinner, we relaxed by swaying in a hammock on the terrace and taking our time by the campfire. Dining while watching the scenery gradually shift from dusk to a glittering night view felt incredibly luxurious, and the food was delicious. Everything—from in-room facilities and amenities to tableware and cutlery—shows great attention to detail, and overall it has a wonderful sense of style. In the morning, I woke up before dawn and spent time watching the Kofu Basin slowly brighten from a landscape still lit with city lights, with Mt. Fuji in view. Having coffee by the campfire was an unforgettable experience that I’m sure I’ll remember for a long time. I highly recommend this place; however, breakfast is self-prepared, so that may come down to personal preference.

We stayed here with three family members and our dog. We were truly satisfied with our stay! The property was very comfortable, and we could feel the thoughtful attention to detail, allowing our whole family to relax and enjoy a wonderful time together. We were also very happy that we could spend time comfortably with our dog without any worries. It was such a lovely experience that everyone in our family said, “We want to stay here again!” This trip has become a great memory for us. We would love to stay again and bring our dog with us. Thank you very much!

Despite the very convenient location, it was quiet and peaceful once inside the hotel. At first I wasn’t sure where the parking lot was, but it was actually in a very easy-to-find spot. It was perfect for a woman traveling alone. Being able to enjoy delicious meals without going out was wonderful. Thank you very much.

The natural Onsen was very clean, with an alkaline spring quality that felt silky-smooth and wonderfully soothing. I used it three times. Since I could check availability, I was able to enjoy it privately without sharing with others.

This was our second stay at Umekiya. We stayed once before and it was so great that we chose it again. The owner talked with us about why we picked this place again, as well as products made on Awaji Island and shops run by local creators, and we were able to actually stop by. They also share recommended spots around Awaji Island. On our second visit, we used a nearby super sento. It was extremely crowded with locals, so while Umekiya doesn’t have a bathtub, if you want to take your time in the bath, it’s better to use Umekiya. The Wi‑Fi in the Room (which didn’t work well last time) had been improved, but the best part is spending time enjoying the atmosphere in the shared space on the first floor while having free drinks. There are two shared toilets, but my family wished they were separated for men and women. It’s also hard to tell whether someone is inside; even though one of them was vacant, I was knocked on and asked to hurry up. It would be helpful if it were easier to see whether each toilet is occupied or not. If we come back to Awaji Island again, this is a place we’d like to stay at.

This is a wonderful Accommodation. We truly felt the kindness in your hospitality. The meals were lavish and absolutely delicious. The quality, portion size, and flavor were so exceptional that we almost felt guilty enjoying them at this price. Breakfast was also very satisfying, and the fluffy rolled omelet was truly impressive. When we mentioned that we would be staying to celebrate my mother’s 88th birthday, you served sekihan (red bean rice), which deeply moved her. This time, since the bath was under renovation, we went to a nearby Facility to bathe; once the bath is completed, I’m sure this will become an even more outstanding Accommodation. If we have the chance, we would definitely love to stay again. To everyone at Yohkosou, I know you are very busy—please take good care of yourselves. Thank you very much for all your help and hospitality.
