Perhaps because there was availability on a weekday, they upgraded us to a larger Room. We were very satisfied with the open, airy Room and the mountain views from the large windows in our corner Room. The meals were all delicious, with plenty of dishes, and we left completely full. It was our first time trying venison—it was tender and excellent. The bath and the entire property were clean and very pleasant.

In early autumn in Karuizawa, I was able to enjoy delicious cuisine in a quiet setting. I arrived a little early, before 3:00 p.m., tired from the drive, but the welcome drink was nicely chilled, and the florentines left in the room were crisp and delicious. Although it was close to central Karuizawa, it was a lovely auberge with an attractive exterior, surrounded by forest and offering a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Inside, while the doors, windows, and other fittings had a classic style, everything was kept clean and there were no issues with usability; the furniture and small decorative touches were also charming. The lamp-style lighting fixtures were lovely but slightly dim—I would have appreciated an extra light for reading. For dinner, I had hoped to dine at Pyrenees among the two restaurants available, but it was closed that day, so I chose French cuisine at the main building instead. It was a French course with subtle Japanese influences and priced on the higher side at JPY 22,000. The main dish was duck (a bit early for the season), though there may be room for further refinement in its preparation; however, it paired beautifully with the wine selected for me. Dessert consisted of two elaborate dishes featuring seasonal fruit. Considering this attentive service as part of the experience (and given that prices have risen everywhere over this past year), I felt the cost was understandable. The bathroom had a Western style with a separate shower booth and was well equipped overall; however, as someone of smaller build—and over 70—I found some aspects slightly concerning: the tub floor felt slippery underfoot, the bathtub sides were high to step over without anything to hold onto. I would appreciate it if more consideration could be given to elderly guests. Overall, it had an elegant and relaxing atmosphere.

Although it was described as a guesthouse, to me it was a wonderful auberge with outstanding service. We stayed in a special Room with a semi-open-air bath, and enjoyed Hotel-like furnishings and hospitality. Thank you very much. The meals featured an incredible amount of seafood. The seasoning had a Kansai-style flavor with rich dashi, and even when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, it was so delicious we finished everything. On the second night, both the taste and portion size were upgraded—highly satisfying. From the Room and the dining area, we could also faintly see the Tateyama Mountain Range across Toyama Bay (Himi Bay). It was truly moving. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

There was none of the odor that’s common at pet-friendly accommodations, and the entire place felt clean and comfortable—we had a wonderful stay! Since we stayed in September, we enjoyed a BBQ outside. They also provided insect repellent and mosquito coils, which was extremely helpful! It really felt like it’s run by a lovely parent-and-child team. We’d definitely love to stay here again! This is by far the best pet-friendly place we’ve ever stayed at!! Thank you again!

My elderly parents stayed here, and they were able to spend their time comfortably with no particular issues. When I made the reservation, I requested a room close to the elevator, and they prepared a room right next to it as requested, which was very helpful. The staff were also courteous, so we felt at ease throughout our stay. I had expected yukata robes, but it was a pleasant surprise that pajamas were provided. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options; everything was delicious and we enjoyed it. This time we booked a plan with Club Floor access. Last time there was cake provided, so it was a little disappointing that there wasn’t any this time, but my parents were very happy with their time on the Club Floor and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you for your thoughtful care for my elderly parents. We would like to stay again if we have the opportunity.

I was worried the building looked old and whether everything would be okay, but there were no issues at all. While it does show its age, both the Room and the large public bath were kept very clean and well maintained, so I was able to use them comfortably. The staff’s attentiveness was just right, and I was very satisfied. I shouldn’t have underestimated Nikko.

As soon as we passed through Hyakurakuso’s gate, a staff member came out to greet us with a warm, welcoming smile. I had been wanting to visit this ryokan for its cave bath for a long time, and I was finally able to make it. The bath we had been looking forward to was wonderful, and the meals were also outstanding—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. What made us especially glad we stayed here was the genuine care and attentiveness of the staff. We were able to enjoy a relaxing, unhurried time away from everyday life.\nWe would love to visit again.

I stay here for about three nights around the same time every year, and the Hotel’s sincere hospitality never changes. They respond quickly even to minor issues, and their courteous service remains a consistent highlight. The well-rounded breakfast is another constant, as is the afternoon drink service—I'm impressed that they maintain such a high level of hospitality. I sometimes read Reviews of other hotels saying, “It wasn’t like this before,” but this Hotel never leaves me with that kind of disappointment. Overall, you can really feel the quality of this Hotel. It has everything that makes me want to choose it again for my next stay in Kobe.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days with two adults and one child (5 years old). The room wasn’t very large, but the hotel is new, so it was very clean and well maintained, and we had a comfortable stay. We booked with breakfast included; there was a wide variety of options and everything tasted great. For guests from Tokyo, it may be easiest to picture an area similar to Toyosu.

As someone who loves traveling and stays at many different Accommodations, I found this place exceptionally comfortable. The Room was spacious and airy, spotless, and thoroughly cleaned down to every corner. It was so relaxing that it truly helped me recover from travel fatigue. The Mirable shower in the bath was another great highlight—after bathing, I felt completely refreshed, as if all the day’s grime had been washed away. Having a washing machine in the Room—and even a single-use portion of detergent—was incredibly convenient. Using the bathroom’s washer-dryer function, my laundry dried properly, which was a huge help. I traveled with my dog, and we never felt cramped—there was plenty of openness. It also had a resort-like feel, and I loved being able to unwind with my dog. If you want to relax comfortably even while traveling, this is an Accommodation I highly recommend. It was such a wonderful stay that I’d love to return.

The view from the room was outstanding, and the spacious room was very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were truly delicious, with each dish beautifully presented, making it a delight for both the eyes and the palate. The rice cooked in a traditional kama pot was especially exceptional—I couldn’t help but eat too much. Everything—the view, the room, and the food—was wonderful, making this a fantastic inn where we could spend a relaxing and pleasant time.

I loved everything—the location of the Accommodation, the beautiful and calming interior, the spacious and impeccably clean Room with a semi-open-air bath, and the lush Japanese-style garden full of greenery. We chose the “Izu Seasonal Kaiseki” Plan, and both dinner and breakfast were outstanding in quality and generous in portion size. The free-flowing Onsen water could be enjoyed at our leisure in the private open-air bath, the large public bath, and in our Room. The Onsen water—said to be 120°C just five minutes earlier—was carefully temperature-controlled so it reached the tub at a perfect temperature: neither too hot nor too lukewarm. I also appreciated the thoughtful services such as matcha tea and traditional sweets at check-in, a pot of iced water delivered to the Room during dinner, and sherbet or coffee served in the lobby after bathing—but above all, what impressed me most was the attentive hospitality of every staff member. With unstable weather and days of rain leading up to our stay—and rain forecast for our dates—I was worried at first. Fortunately, we had good weather for both days we were there, and staying at such a wonderful Accommodation with such high service standards made this trip truly relaxing. Thank you very much. Of course I would love to return here again, and I also feel like visiting “Izu Kawazu-hama Isoaruki no Yuyado Shiogumo” and “Omuro no Mori Gyokusui.”

We stayed here for a maternity trip and to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were impressed by Atagawa’s charming entrance and the refined elegance of the interior. The hinoki indoor bath, stone open-air bath, and luxurious amenities such as Sekkisei and Acca Kappa made our stay feel truly indulgent. Walking through the quiet stone garden to the dining venue, “Donkon,” we found an atmosphere so sophisticated it would suit a stylish wedding ceremony. The cuisine was lavish and beautifully prepared, and we enjoyed every moment. Two things especially moved us during dinner. One was the proprietress’s warm personality—graceful yet friendly—and she kindly explained highlights of each dish. The other was their thoughtful accommodation for pregnancy. When making our Reservation, I didn’t request any changes, thinking it would be easier to have my husband eat anything I couldn’t. However, upon arrival, the staff proactively offered an alternative and changed my sashimi to miso-grilled spiny lobster. It was delicious, and we were deeply touched by their consideration. We would love to return once our baby is born.

The view of Matsushima from the Room was as beautiful as a painting. The meals offered a wide variety, and we were able to enjoy local flavors. My husband, who loves drinks, was very happy with the wide selection of alcohol. The view from the large public bath was also wonderful, and the amenities were well stocked. I only wished the Room had a few more amenities like those in the large public bath. We would love to stay again.

Conveniently located in front of the station with a convenience store on the first floor, a comfortable Room, plenty of amenities, and courteous service—I was very satisfied. The much-talked-about breakfast exceeded my expectations. In addition to Morioka’s three famous noodle dishes, I could also enjoy pho. Everything was delicious. The staff seemed highly capable and managed the dining area smoothly. They also kindly stored my luggage after checkout, which was very helpful.

Sorry for the late review. I always search for and stay here when I come to Tokyo because I prefer a bathroom with a separate washing area. Most of all, even with lots of luggage, it’s great not having to worry about the weather—the entrance is inside the station right after you exit the ticket gates. Although it’s close to the station, the room is quiet and comfortable. There’s a bus stop right in front of the property, and not only convenience stores but also a supermarket just a short walk away, so it’s easy to find food and do shopping (including 100-yen shops). With prices rising these days, there are times when it can be hard to afford depending on the season, but I’ll continue to stay here.

I was able to visit again for the first time in 20 years. From the warm welcome onward, the hospitality was outstanding. The food was just as delicious as ever, and I truly hope this authentic Japanese hospitality will continue for many years to come. I would love to visit again soon. Thank you for such a wonderful and happy time.

This was my first trip to Sendai, and I also visited the Matsushima area for the first time. From the hospitality to how well-stocked the amenities were, everything exceeded my expectations, and the view from the room was wonderful. The meals were also very delicious. I did notice a few small flies in my room on the 4th floor, but other than that I was satisfied.

I have been an IKYU Diamond member since before COVID, with two regular Accommodations—one in Ito and one in Enzan—and I had been looking for another place I would want to return to. It was hard to find one. At last, I found Akazawa Guest House. It’s an Accommodation you’ll want to visit again and again. My companion had a blister from sandals, but after soaking in the deep ocean water several times, we were amazed to notice on the third day that it had healed. Akazawa Spa is free of charge, and what I especially loved was that the private sauna is also free. We had so much fun with bowling, billiards, darts—everything—that staying two nights was absolutely worth it. Of course, the staff were wonderful as well. The foreign staff member who served our meals had a lovely smile, spoke excellent Japanese, and made our conversations truly enjoyable. We will be back again—thank you in advance for your continued hospitality next time.

I stayed here last year and was very satisfied, so I chose this Hotel again this year. Above all, the highlight is the wide variety of food. Everything was delicious, and I ended up going back for seconds many times. The pork shabu-shabu served in a small hot pot was especially outstanding, and I loved that you can shabu-shabu not only pork but also seafood. With several broth options to choose from, I could enjoy it exactly the way I like. In addition, there were sushi and sashimi, Tokushima ramen, freshly fried tempura, and a great selection of other dishes such as crispy lotus root and sweet potato chips—so much variety that I enjoyed every bite without getting bored until the very end. At the large public bath, bath towels and face towels were provided in the lobby area, so it was very comfortable to be able to use fresh towels each time. There was also complimentary ice cream after bathing, which felt like a thoughtful touch. The night view from my Room was also wonderful—the sparkling city lights were truly beautiful and made for an unforgettable moment. I was completely satisfied with everything—food, baths, service, and views—and it’s a fantastic Hotel that makes me want to come back again.
