It’s a bit far from Tokyo, but I’m truly glad we stayed here! The property was very clean, and the lounge had plenty of drinks—my excitement started the moment we arrived. For dinner, we ordered horse sashimi and a three-sake tasting set separately, and it was amazing. Highly recommended. Breakfast was also delicious across the board. The Onsen was relaxing since it was always empty whenever we went (not just the private one), and we were also able to use the baths at a larger affiliated Hotel, which made us very satisfied. The Room was comfortable, and I slept soundly. Above all, the warm hospitality from all the staff made us feel at ease. We’ll definitely be back again. Thank you for taking such great care of us.

We stayed for three nights as a family of three. Above all, the location—right in front of the ocean—was incredible. The villa sits along the coastline that continues from Toguchi Beach, and it’s about a 5-minute walk to Toguchi Beach. It’s also less than a 10-minute drive from Irabu Ohashi Bridge, making it a convenient base for sightseeing. The daytime sea was beautiful, and the starry sky at night was amazing too. On a morning after rain, we even saw a huge rainbow over the ocean—an unforgettable view. The time we spent looking out at the sea and rainbow beyond the pool was especially memorable. There’s also a spot in front of the villa that feels like a small private beach. This time we decided not to swim due to an approaching tropical depression, but you can borrow pool items, sand-play toys, and life jackets. We were told that around typhoons, waves can wash away some of the sand and reduce the beach area. The pool is just the right size for families to enjoy together. And what we loved most was the BBQ. We bought our own ingredients and enjoyed lighting charcoal for the first time in ages. Having drinks while BBQing with the ocean right in front of us was unbeatable. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils and basic seasonings, so self-catering is easy. There’s also a water dispenser, complimentary drinks in the fridge, and a washer-dryer with detergent—very convenient for longer stays. Trash can be sorted and left by the entrance in the morning for collection. We also appreciated being able to sleep comfortably on regular beds rather than an extra bed even with three people. There are four beds in total, so we were able to rest well and recover from travel fatigue. The staff were very kind as well. It’s not full-service like a luxury hotel with 24-hour staffing, but during staffed hours they responded quickly whenever we needed something. On our last day they even came outside to see us off despite strong winds and heavy rain—we’re truly grateful. Since it’s summer there are some insects as expected, but insect spray and repellents are provided; we recommend setting them up soon after arrival. Geckos are part of island life too (in a good way). Because priority seems to be given to views, there isn’t much eave overhang; during heavy rain we noticed some raindrop noise against windows at times—but in return, the view from inside is absolutely stunning. The windows have good sound insulation overall; normally you can barely hear waves indoors at all. If anything could be improved, having mats at the entrance or terrace door to brush off sand would be even more convenient. This is a villa where you can stay “as if living,” at your own pace. Our whole family was completely satisfied—it was an amazing 3-night stay!

We had an incredibly fulfilling stay. From the interior and exterior design to the furniture, decor, fixtures, amenities, lawn, and open grounds, this was a wonderfully comfortable Facility where you can feel the attention to detail everywhere. The interior is unified in a calm design, with very high ceilings that create an airy sense of openness, allowing us to fully enjoy a special time away from everyday life. The vanity area and bathroom were especially spacious and impressive—made with high-quality materials and kept impeccably clean down to every corner. The amenities also felt thoughtfully chosen; for example, Aesop hand soap was provided at the sink. All essential cookware and appliances were available, so we could stay comfortably without any inconvenience. We even enjoyed handheld fireworks in the garden. The views of Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps were also stunning—scenery you could gaze at for hours without noticing time pass. Most memorable of all were the wood-fired sauna and cold plunge bath. The wood-fired sauna was exceptional—enjoying it while feeling the flicker of flames, hearing the crackle of burning logs, and breathing in the scent of wood was truly special. Unlike an electric heater, it had a gentle heat that warmed us slowly from deep within and helped us relax completely. A large amount of sauna stones were thoroughly heated, so we could also enjoy pleasant steam from löyly. It’s an ideal setup that I would highly recommend even to dedicated sauna lovers. They added ice to the cold plunge bath multiple times for us, so we could cool down properly. Paired with the wood-fired sauna, it was perfect—we fully enjoyed every session. In the evening we enjoyed a BBQ, and we really appreciated that the owner prepared everything—from lighting the fire to setting everything up. On top of that, we received a generous gift of fresh vegetables grown by his wife. They were all rare varieties you don’t often see day-to-day, and you could feel careful attention not only in each vegetable but also in their labels and packaging. We tried them right away at our BBQ—especially the eggplant, which was unbelievably tender and delicious. Beyond how wonderful both the Facility itself and its location are, we were truly moved by the owners’ thoughtful hospitality as well. In this extraordinary setting—with beautiful views, a wood-fired sauna experience like no other،and BBQ—we spent a luxurious yet deeply comfortable time here. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience.

I was satisfied with everything. The dishes made with olive oil were delicious, and the room with a view of the calm sea was wonderful. Shodoshima is famous for its stone, and it is used generously throughout the island. It doesn’t feel cold; instead, it feels warm and comforting. The staff greeted us with smiles, and it was an inn that made us think, even before checkout, “We want to come back.”

Thank you very much for having us. The Accommodation was spotless, and everything—from the beautiful pool and dog run to the sauna—was perfect. There were plenty of toys for our dog to choose from, and he was thrilled. It was his first time using a pool, but there was also a life jacket for dogs, so he could make his debut in a safe environment. Above all, the owner was incredibly pleasant and supportive. We requested a BBQ set at short notice, and they kindly accommodated us. They also recommended nearby markets, which helped us enjoy our meals as well. Even though it was only one night, it was a very satisfying stay. Early check-in and late check-out are rare at other places, so that was extremely helpful. Most of all, seeing our dog relaxed and happy throughout made us truly happy. We would love to stay again! Thank you very much.

It was my first stay in two months. Everything was clean, and I had a comfortable stay. The Room mirror had been changed to a different one than before, and it was very convenient for doing my makeup. Also, the gentleman at the front desk greeted me with a wonderful smile, which made me feel welcome. I’m planning to visit again in autumn.

We stayed here to celebrate a birthday. All of the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and when we mentioned it was for a birthday, they happily helped us out—their warm thoughtfulness truly made our day. The view from the room was just as stunning as in the photos, and the private beach felt completely exclusive, allowing us to fully enjoy Miyakojima’s beautiful ocean. Both breakfast and dinner reflected great care in ingredient selection; every dish was delicious, and we were extremely satisfied. During our stay, we were able to spend quiet, unhurried time without worrying about others, and we could truly relax. As it’s a villa surrounded by nature, there were some insects at times, but we felt that was simply part of being so close to nature. We were satisfied with everything—the scenery, the meals, and the hospitality—and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. It’s a wonderful resort that we would definitely recommend to others. We would love to stay here again when visiting Miyakojima.

It was my first visit to a wooden Ryokan in quite some time. The nostalgic, comforting creak of the floors with every step was wonderful. These days, even a single pane of glass feels truly precious. Dinner was served in our Room, one dish at a time; every carefully prepared course was delicious and very satisfying. Even the seaweed tsukudani at breakfast was exceptional, and I ordered the dried fish as soon as I got home. It became a memorable family trip for us.

I chose to stay here because I was drawn to the presence of this nationally registered Tangible Cultural Property. With its history as an Edo-period honjin and its dignified atmosphere, it felt like stepping into a beautiful, extraordinary world where time had stood still. What impressed me most was the French course meal made generously with local seasonal ingredients. Every dish was exquisite, bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients, and because each course was carefully explained—along with the chef’s attention to detail and the story behind it—I was able to appreciate it even more deeply. The historic architectural beauty, refined cuisine, and warm hospitality came together in perfect harmony, making for an incomparable luxurious stay that truly satisfied both body and mind. I would love to return again in a different season.

I often enjoy refreshing stays at luxury hotels mainly in central Tokyo with friends, but this time I ventured to Yokohama for the first time. The spacious room offered a wonderful view through the large windows, and I was able to spend a relaxing, luxurious time. When I returned from dinner, the drinks and towels we had used during the day had been replenished, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail and high-quality hospitality. This time, I also enjoyed afternoon tea and a teppanyaki dinner. The afternoon tea was not overly sweet, and it paired beautifully with a wide selection of teas, including original flavors. The teppanyaki dinner highlighted the excellence of the ingredients; every dish was delicious, and I was impressed with each course. From the room to the dining and service, everything exceeded expectations, making it a truly refreshing stay. I would love to visit again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

This was my first stay, and from the initial phone call to the moment we left, every staff member’s service was warm, attentive, and flawless. Because I have dietary restrictions, there are usually items in the standard menu that I cannot eat, but this time you made thoughtful adjustments so I could enjoy everything—deliciously and without leaving anything behind. I am truly grateful for the kitchen team’s consideration despite how busy you were. The room layout was also very well designed and easy to use, with a Japanese-style tatami area and a Western-style bedroom with beds, plus an open-air bath and wash area arranged thoughtfully. Although it was quite windy, we were still able to enjoy the private open-air bath in our room. The public bath was always clean, with amenities and towels fully stocked, so we could relax without any stress and fully enjoy the infinity open-air bath. On our final day at checkout, when we requested a taxi we were told it would be a 40-minute wait; however, the front desk staff kindly called around for us, and in the end a taxi arrived in about 10 minutes. We sincerely appreciate your help even during such a busy time. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

My first trip to Shizuoka was very comfortable. The Facility was new and pleasant. One disappointing point was that they couldn’t arrange a taxi, and when I was told to handle it ourselves because they couldn’t get through, I felt disappointed that some Hotels are like this.

This was my second stay, and it was just as moving as the first. From every part of the property—the lobby, restaurant, on-site café, and of course the guest rooms, in-room semi-open-air baths, and the large public bath—you can enjoy wonderful views of East Izu’s greenery and the ocean. The lounge also offers excellent complimentary services such as free drinks, and you can even enjoy table tennis, which I personally love. Soaking your feet in the spacious courtyard footbath while listening to lovely background music is another truly relaxing moment. It may not be highlighted much on the website, but for limited hours the on-site café also serves a variety of alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and snacks. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you to all the staff for their warm and attentive service.

This was my first stay. The lobby, guest room, private open-air bath in the room, and the large public bath were all spacious, and I was able to relax and enjoy a wonderful time. The meals were also delicious, making great use of local seafood. Although it wasn’t open during my stay, it seems there is also a pool. I think it would be nice to come with my grandchildren as well, and I would like to stay again.

From the moment we arrived, the parking guidance, check-in, shop, and breakfast venue staff were all very welcoming, and their smiles and service made our stay truly comfortable. The Room was also clean and well maintained. We also appreciated the complimentary beer and ice cream after bathing. Thank you very much.

We were warmly welcomed back, and I checked in thinking how glad I was to be able to return again this year. After relaxing with a bath in the room, we enjoyed dinner. My elderly mother, who usually doesn’t soak in a tub, felt safe thanks to the handrails and was able to bathe with peace of mind. While sharing the matsutake mushroom course with her, it felt like a long-overdue chance to show my appreciation. The staff provided attentive yet unobtrusive hospitality. The food was delicious and we were completely satisfied. Breakfast also offered a wide variety of dishes—everything was tasty and I ended up eating too much. On our way out, the proprietress kindly took photos with us, adding even more wonderful memories. The proprietress and all the staff were very kind, and my mother was delighted—she even said she’d do her best so we can come again. Thank you again, and we look forward to returning.

From the wonderful staff to the view from our room, the colorful and exciting meals, and even the aquarium—everything was outstanding. If I had to mention one thing, it was a bit inconvenient needing a card key for the elevator and other small things, but if you think of it as security, it’s no problem at all. It truly was amazing. My father’s eyes were sparkling like a child’s. We were somehow upgraded to a room as well, and our child cheered at the stylish, open space. The bed was so comfortable it felt like a dream—I slept soundly for the first time in decades. I was amazed. We also really appreciated having two rooms next to each other. We were able to borrow a wheelchair smoothly, and without using any stairs from the hotel we could safely enjoy visiting the aquarium together as three generations. Because our child is so busy we haven’t been able to take a family trip, so we thought about somewhere nice nearby that we could go on short notice—and Suma Aquarium came to mind with fond memories. We’re thrilled that such a wonderful hotel has opened. Thank you for such a lovely time.

We had another very comfortable stay! The room, meals, bath, and hospitality were all excellent. The food in particular was outstanding—made with local ingredients and thoughtfully tied in with local events. We’ll be back again. Thank you!

We stayed here to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. From the moment we arrived, all of the staff were extremely courteous, and we were able to spend our time comfortably. They also kindly helped with a birthday surprise, which made our daughter very happy and turned it into a truly memorable birthday. The room had a calm atmosphere, and we were able to relax and enjoy the hot spring in the in-room bath. The hot spring in the large public bath also had a great view and was very refreshing. Every dish was delicious, and we loved the beautiful presentation that reflected the season. It was enjoyable to look at as well, and we were able to take our time over the meal. We are truly glad we chose this place for such an important day—our daughter’s birthday. It was a wonderful inn that made us want to stay again on another special occasion.

We stayed here after hearing the pork cutlet ramen was delicious, and my wife and I enjoyed it for lunch. The pork cutlet ramen was excellent, and the beef bowl we ordered as well was also outstanding. We booked the lounge plan, and after lunch we visited the lounge; both the drinks and light meals were wonderful and very tasty. The Japanese set breakfast had a wide variety of dishes and was delicious as well. The service, meals, room, and view were all superb, and my wife immediately asked to come again. It’s about an hour door-to-door from our home, but we will definitely visit again to enjoy a special getaway. Thank you very much.
