I stayed here on a trip with my sister. Everyone’s smiles and hard work were truly soothing. Each dish was beautifully seasoned, and I was genuinely impressed by how delicious everything was. The bath temperature was just right, and I could have stayed in forever—I was able to relax and forget about everyday life. If I may ask for one thing, it would be nice to have an extra yukata, and having towels available at the bath would make it easier to drop in anytime. Seeing the stars so big and close felt like a once-in-a-lifetime memory. And the beer you treated us to was fantastic (laugh)—thank you very much.

I’ve stayed at many Accommodations, but this was the first one that felt absolutely flawless! I fell in love at first sight with the stunning rock bath scenery on YouTube and made a Reservation for the Yoimachi Room. The open-air bath was spacious, and the view from it was so breathtaking it nearly brought me to tears. The hot spring water was silky-smooth, and my skin felt amazing! The food was also delicious, and even the rice tasted exceptional. The nikujaga served at breakfast was so good that I’d love to ask—if you don’t mind—whether the soy sauce you use is light soy sauce or a type used mainly in Kyushu. The Room was wonderfully quiet as well, and I could truly relax. I definitely want to come back for a special occasion. Next year, I’ll visit one of your sister properties too.

This was my first trip to Tohoku, and I stayed here. In recent years I hadn’t found an Accommodation that truly satisfied me, but this one exceeded my expectations in every way—hospitality, meals, and the Room. I took a taxi from the nearest station, and every driver said, “Everyone says there’s nothing to complain about!” They were absolutely right. It’s well worth the price—you won’t regret staying here. For those making a Reservation, I strongly recommend choosing a Plan that includes dinner! The portions are generous, and everything is delicious, including fresh seafood and mountain vegetables. Unfortunately it rained during our stay, but we were able to relax while listening to the rain and looking out over Matsushima. We’ll definitely return to see Matsushima in another season!

I stay here frequently. I always feel relaxed thanks to the hospitality, meals, Room, and Onsen. The meals are very delicious—so much so that I end up overeating. The Room is also great: it’s comfortable for working and comes with an Onsen, making it perfect for a refreshing break. I will definitely stay again.

Thank you very much for taking care of us during our 3-day, 2-night stay. We visited to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to your thoughtful hospitality, we were able to enjoy a relaxing and healing trip. Thank you. At the beach below the Hotel, it was quite windy due to a low-pressure system, but we were still able to snorkel and see some fish. The Room was just the right size, and we could relax comfortably. We also enjoyed the private open-air bath on the 5th floor without worrying about time, which made for a very restful experience. The meals were delicious from the jimami potage onward. Breakfast was also just the right amount and very enjoyable. It felt like there were more Western guests than we expected. We heard that an annex is scheduled to be completed next year, so we are really looking forward to it. We would love to stay with you again next time.

Thanks to the wonderful Hotel staff, we made great memories. Thank you as well for the prompt Shuttle Service to the spa and VISON [Mimura]. It looked like a previous guest may not have kept their dog in a crate while they were out, and the Room’s entrance door was scratched. Everyone, please be mindful of proper manners! We want it to remain a lovely Hotel. I’d love to visit again.

The property was very clean and excellent. Even without dinner, the complimentary drinks, snacks, and late-night meal were more than enough. The hot spring was wonderful—perfect when you want to relax and unwind.

This was my second visit since coming in May. My dog (my beloved “daughter”) was thrilled. It was about 5°C cooler than down below, but the late-summer heat was still intense, and it felt hot in the sun. My dog ran around the nature-filled dog run and had a great time. Because it was a weekday after the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. The building was clean, and the Room was also very clean. The large public bath felt like we had it to ourselves, so we could unwind and fully enjoy it. (We went twice.) The food was delicious as well. Since it’s close to home, it’s easy to plan travel time both ways, and for me this Facility has an ideal location. I’d love to take another overnight trip with my dog. All of the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Thank you very much.

I usually stay at Route Inn in Tendo, but it was fully booked this time, so I stayed here as there was availability. The Accommodation is not very old, and the Onsen has plenty of space, so I was satisfied. I will stay here again.

I booked this Hotel to attend a funeral. It was clean and conveniently located near the station. The twin beds were large and very comfortable. It was convenient to pick up what I needed from the lobby myself. However, the water pressure felt weak. Maybe due to a water shortage? Thank you for your hospitality.

The surrounding area feels quiet and somewhat isolated, and it is a bit far from the downtown area, but the Room was clean. The meals felt more standard than expected.

Although my stay was No Meals Included, I had no complaints at all about the staff’s service or the atmosphere in the Hotel. This time I arrived by car, but there is also covered parking for motorcycles, so I would like to use it on my next touring trip. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

My wife and I visited from Kyoto. As it had not been long since the renovation, everything was very clean, and we had a comfortable one-night stay. The open-air bath in the guest room lets you fill it yourself—add cold water if it’s too hot, or add hot water if it’s too cool—so you can adjust the temperature to your liking. Both the hot and cold water flow were plentiful, making it a truly stress-free Onsen experience that’s hard to find. The meals were also excellent; each dish was thoughtfully prepared, and I felt the chef must be very talented. If I had to mention one minor complaint, it would have been perfect if we could have seen Mt. Aso clearly from the bath, but I understand that can’t always be helped.

With my husband’s birthday coming up the next day, we decided to stay here to celebrate with delicious seafood. Last time we visited in early summer and the sea urchin was amazing, and this time we laughed while talking about how it might be bonito and Pacific saury now. The meals were truly outstanding. Of course the seafood was wonderful, but above all, the rice was glossy and perfectly cooked—just incredible. I usually like putting side dishes on top or mixing things into my rice, but this rice made me want to enjoy it as-is just for its flavor. Also, the simmered “harmonica” fish was exquisite. I honestly think it’s No. 1 among simmered fish dishes. The large public bath isn’t very big, so I chose times when it wouldn’t be crowded and enjoyed it on my own. We were also happy to receive a tasty complimentary treat for his birthday—thank you very much. One small disappointment: the sweets in the room weren’t Gotto. Next time I’d love to have them again—and I’m already thinking about our next visit.

I stayed with my daughter at this accommodation. I chose it after reading reviews about its delicious cuisine, and it exceeded my expectations. The steamed abalone and simmered golden eye snapper recommended by the hostess, as well as the sashimi and other dishes, were truly delicious and visually stunning. There are three baths available for private use, allowing us to relax at our own pace. I would definitely love to visit again!

Although the building is a renovated traditional house, it has been beautifully refurbished. The Facilities and furniture are new, and the blend of old and new creates a very comfortable stay. Our Room in the front building was relatively compact, but more than sufficient. The staff were wonderful—professional, attentive, and kind. Thank you very much. We chose a breakfast-included Plan, and all nine small dishes were carefully prepared; each one was enjoyable and delicious. We also got to try their famous oden. Dinner at Simples, which we booked separately by Reservation, was truly outstanding. It’s a restaurant that moved us for the first time in a while. Every dish was exciting and delicious, and the service from our staff member was excellent—we would love to return. Finally, after checkout we joined a craft experience using an electric pottery wheel. It was great fun to work with real clay in an authentic way. We’re looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I visited with high expectations after reading the Reviews, and it was even more delicious than I expected! The building felt a bit old, but the Room was clean and nice. In particular, I loved being able to try small portions of many different dishes; everything was carefully prepared and delicious. The staff provided subtle, polished service, and their attentive yet unobtrusive approach made it very comfortable. A typhoon came through so I couldn’t go for a walk on the first day, but on the following days I went out for walks and enjoyed the scenery. The Room was spacious, and the sofa was very comfortable. It was also great to be able to relax in the large public bath late at night. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay here, and the food was absolutely delicious. I stay in various places every year, and this was the best so far. Unlike Yufuin’s crowded Yunotsubo Kaido, the property is located in a rural area, so I could relax and unwind. Soaking in the open-air bath while looking at Mt. Yufu and spending time leisurely on the terrace was wonderful—and watching the occasional train pass by made it even better. I was also able to see both the Yufuin no Mori and Nanatsuboshi trains. There isn’t much nearby for sightseeing on foot, but for a stay where you can enjoy multiple baths and simply spend quiet time at the property, it’s perfect. The room was very clean; however, I found it inconvenient that the sink and vanity were separate, and I noticed a sewage smell in the toilet. Still, if I have another chance to stay in Yufuin, I would like to return. Thank you very much.

For the past ten years or so, my wife and I have been traveling all over Japan by car. This time, taking advantage of Silver Week, we were planning a trip to Kyushu and realized that in the southwestern part of Kyushu we had only visited Koshikijima with our children a long time ago. When I searched on IKYU, I found Villa Hikaruze. We were contacted to confirm our arrival time, and I wondered why at first, but when we arrived at Hikaruze, the Onsen bath had been filled in time for our arrival. It was two days of wonderful hospitality—perfect for seniors like us. Recently we’ve enjoyed visiting remote islands such as Goto, Iki, Rebun, and Rishiri, but Hikaruze’s location was even better. The weather was great, and we could see as far as the Amakusa islands in the distance. As for what this old couple looks forward to most—meals—the sashimi and meat were the best we’ve ever had. Since we don’t have much time left at our age, we’re looking forward to returning soon with our children. Thank you very much.

We stayed in a room with an open-air bath. The river view from the terrace was wonderful, and the room was spacious and relaxing. We were satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. We especially loved the handmade soba noodles—so much that we wanted seconds. My husband really liked the quality of the hot spring water and says he wants to come back. We would love to visit again.
