I’ve stayed here many times since the rebrand opening in October, during periods outside the busy winter season, and this was my first stay after the official renewal reopening. The new Wabirei Suite feels like the culmination of Livemax Resort—everything from the open-air bath in the Room and amenities to the large-screen TV, calming lighting, and existing fan-coil system plus individual air conditioning delivered my highest level of satisfaction among all Livemax Resorts I’ve stayed at. It was so comfortable that I ended up falling asleep without even going out for breakfast... Livemax Resort generally offers a high-quality buffet, but Echigo-Yuzawa is especially outstanding—so I’m sure this time’s breakfast must have been great too, and I regret missing it. The newly created Room is spacious, clean, and truly comfortable—“thoughtful attention to every detail” describes it perfectly. I’d love to be soothed by Yuzawa’s cool air again, so I’ll be back soon!

It was very comfortable. Thank you very much.

We chose this Accommodation for our wedding anniversary, hoping for somewhere a little special this year. My husband and I are usually busy with our own schedules, and we’re often surprised by how little time we have to talk at home, but that day we ended up reminiscing about old memories the whole time (laugh). The staff were considerate and didn’t speak to us more than necessary, which made us feel they truly valued our time together. In the morning, we woke up early for a short walk and then returned to the Accommodation, and it was nice to head to breakfast without rushing. It became a wonderful anniversary memory.

To be honest, I stayed without high expectations, but overall it was a very pleasant stay. The Room was spacious and clean, and the meals were delicious. The service was attentive. Relaxing in the Onsen helped me unwind and recover from daily fatigue. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

The Room, the bath, and the private bath were all great. The food was also excellent. There was a fireworks festival, and it was close to the venue so we could see it well. We will stay again.

While the interior color scheme may be a matter of personal preference, it was a good Hotel.

I stayed here for an away trip. I urgently needed ice from early morning, and I wanted to buy several 2 kg bags in advance at a supermarket. When I asked if the Hotel could keep them in the freezer overnight, they kindly agreed without hesitation, which was a huge help. Their thoughtfulness and consideration for guests were excellent. If I have the chance, I would like to make a Reservation again, and I will recommend it to my friends. When searching with a navigation app, it may guide you to the parking area inside the building at the back, but there is also plenty of parking by the main entrance on the front side.

This was our first time staying at a Hotel affiliated with Ooedo Onsen! Due to our schedule, we checked in late and could only get a dinner Reservation for 8:30 PM, but we had plenty of fun in the meantime—playing table tennis as a family and enjoying the Onsen. The kids were thrilled! At night, we borrowed UNO and had a great time together. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent—the sushi and steak were amazing! Everyone went back for multiple bowls of seafood rice bowls in the morning. The Facility is a bit old, and the air conditioner was quite loud, but the overall enjoyment more than made up for it. The Room was very spacious too. We’d love to stay again!

At the end of the Obon holidays, our family suddenly decided to get together, so we made a Reservation in a hurry. Despite it being Obon, the price was unbelievably low, so honestly we didn’t expect much—but both the meals and the Onsen exceeded our expectations. Dinner and breakfast were buffet-style with a wide variety of dishes, all delicious. The Onsen water quality was excellent, and my skin stayed pleasantly moisturized for a long time. It was truly a wonderful Hotel that offered far more than its price. Thank you very much.

This was my second stay. I love Onsen and visit many hot spring areas, and the water quality at Sakakibara Onsen is excellent. I stayed in a room with an open-air bath, but the large public bath in the Accommodation is outstanding. Although it is a low-temperature bath, you can also soak in the natural spring source, and it leaves your skin smooth and silky. During the day, the day-use bath is open to non-staying guests as well. The age of the Facilities cannot be denied, but even so, it makes me want to come back again. This time I visited during firefly season. The Accommodation’s bus took us to a viewing spot that only locals would know. It seems there were fewer fireflies this year due to a typhoon, but it still felt more than enough. The guide was very kind and made it an enjoyable experience.

I was able to relax in a clean, comfortable, and pleasantly spacious Room that was easy to use. Because it was a bit foggy, we couldn’t see much of the Kanto Plain, but we still enjoyed the in-room open-air Onsen bath. We usually eat dinner early, and we weren’t kept waiting—one delicious dish after another was served at just the right pace, with plenty of variety, and we were completely satisfied. It was my first time in Tsukuba, but it’s close to Tokyo, and we were able to see beautiful flowers at the perfect time—azaleas and mountain wisteria in bloom, and nemophila at full peak. I would definitely like to stop by again when I visit Tsukuba. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

We stayed as three generations. First of all, the staff’s hospitality was outstanding, and we felt comfortable from arrival to departure. The shaved ice service also delighted the kids. If I had to ask for one thing, I would have been even happier with a few more welcome drink options. The meals were delicious with a nice contrast between dinner and breakfast. We also really enjoyed the table tennis. The Onsen was relaxing, and the view from our Room was soothing as well. Even though we made a mistake during the Reservation process, we truly appreciate how kindly you handled everything after we contacted you in advance. And with two meals included, this price range for this season offers excellent value for money.

Since we didn’t rent a car this time, we traveled by bus from Hakodate Station, but it was only a 3-minute walk from Tropical Botanical Garden-mae, so it wasn’t inconvenient at all. A friend said the interior and the Room were far better than you’d ever imagine from the exterior. I believe I made a Reservation for the cheapest Room type, but to my surprise we were upgraded to what seemed like one of the best Rooms. It was a wonderful, spacious Room with a very comfortable sofa where we could truly relax. If I have the chance to visit again, I’d like to make a Reservation for the best Type A Room. I was looking forward to enjoying sparkling wine in the lounge, Hakodate milk soft-serve ice cream, and Misuzu Coffee—and they even had watermelon as well, which made me really happy. The soft-serve was unbelievably delicious. I don’t usually drink coffee, but Misuzu Coffee is so good that I decided to have it while in Hakodate. Being able to enjoy it as many times as you like until 10:00 p.m. is much appreciated—though my friend mentioned that in the morning there was only Misuzu Coffee. The bath is available even late at night, which is also very helpful. Even if you fall asleep after dinner and drinks, it’s great to be able to wake up and take a bath during the night. Dinner was an omakase sushi course that included fugu tatsuta-age; between the tuna selections and seasonal sushi, everything was satisfying and enjoyable. Breakfast was a buffet with plenty of options—I especially loved the soup curry. Overall, I think this is an excellent Accommodation with courteous front desk staff and a very positive impression. Just one thing: many Hotels these days provide deodorizing sprays, but I’m sensitive to fragrances—so I would prefer not having them in the Room or used during bed-making.

Everything was wonderful. I checked in feeling completely exhausted that day, but the staff kindly offered to show me where the restaurant was if I didn’t mind, and since they could seat me right away, I ended up having dinner there. As I was dining alone, I asked the staff about portion sizes while ordering, and it turned into a truly delicious and happy meal. The Room was just the right size, so I could relax and recover. The next morning I took it easy as well. I got some cake and bread to take out and went to a friend’s Hotel where they were staying to eat them, and they were so good that I regretted not having breakfast here. I’m sure I’ll stay here again next time!

I was glad that the toilet and bath were separate. I also appreciated being moved to the ladies’ room. I had a comfortable stay.

This was my first time staying here. It was also my first sightseeing trip to Beppu, and I’m glad I chose this Hotel. We decided to have dinner on short notice that day, and the staff handled everything politely and smoothly. It was an à la carte dinner, and every dish was delicious. Breakfast in the morning was also wonderful—you can choose a main dish, and there is a buffet with bread, salads, and more. Everything tasted great, making for a lovely breakfast time. The staff were very kind as well. The Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable—I wished I could have stayed longer. The open-air bath in the Room was also excellent. The amenities were well stocked, and since I enjoyed the Onsen many times, it was convenient to have extra towels available. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good so we couldn’t see the view, but I imagine it would be beautiful on a clear day. It’s a place I’d like to recommend to friends. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.

We were able to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature. We are truly grateful and very satisfied with both the Onsen and the meals.

I stayed here with my daughter on a trip to Yamaguchi. We drove from Shin-Shimonoseki to the Ryokan by rental car. Right after arriving, we enjoyed the footbath, then the granite bath. After a walk around, we returned to the Ryokan for the open-air bath. After dinner, we used the bath in our Room. In the morning, we went to the hinoki-wood bath. After breakfast, we used the Room bath again. We really enjoyed all the Onsen. It may just have been how I felt, but when I woke up in the morning my fingers weren’t stiff like usual—maybe it was an Onsen effect. The food was delicious, the riverside scenery was beautiful, and there were few tourists, so it felt like a hidden gem. The staff at this Ryokan were also very welcoming and made it feel homey. The building showed its age, but that gave it character. The only disappointment was that the air conditioner in our Room didn’t cool well and it was uncomfortable. Maybe it’s an older unit? Also, there was a musty smell in the Room (different from sulfur) that bothered me. Still, I’d like to visit again if I have another chance, and if friends ask me for recommendations for a good Onsen getaway, this is an Accommodation I’d suggest.

The price is very reasonable, yet all the staff appeared to be Japanese, and the front desk service in the lobby was professional. (At another chain Hotel I used recently, the staff were foreign and there were issues such as unclear explanations on how to use the Hotel facilities and mistakes in billing.) Even at checkout, the housekeeping staff greeted me and seemed to be working hard, so I felt this is a Hotel you can stay at with peace of mind.

I stayed at Ishi no Ya Beppu on a solo trip. Unfortunately, it rained on the first day, but the front desk staff were very welcoming, and I was able to enter my Room comfortably. The Room was wonderful—more than enough for one person—and having an Onsen bath was the best! Dinner was a creative course meal. The restaurant staff were excellent as well, and every dish was delicious! The next day, after breakfast, I went to the sand bath. It felt amazing. A staff member even took photos with my smartphone for me, which made for a great memory (laughs). Since it was SHONIN PARK’s 1st anniversary, various events were being held. The nighttime illuminations were very beautiful. It had been a while since my last solo trip, but it turned out to be a truly great one. Thank you very much.
