I use this place often, and I love it—the amenities are great and the futon is very comfortable.

The owner was Chinese and very friendly. The main door had an auto-lock system, allowing free access at any time, which was very convenient. We stayed as a family of three and had a comfortable and relaxed stay. Towels were provided, but they were more like household towels, so if you're particular about that, it might be better to bring your own—I brought mine. During the cold winter season, the bedding felt thin and I initially had trouble sleeping, but raising the heating temperature made it much more comfortable. The accommodation is conveniently located near a station.

I chose to stay at Kongobu Sanmaiin because (1) it is temple lodging at the UNESCO World Heritage site Kongobu Sanmaiin, (2) it is conveniently located for visiting Danjo Garan, Kongobuji Temple, Reihokan Museum, Okunoin, and other sites, and (3) it offers a Japanese-style room with a private toilet. The shojin-ryori cuisine was more satisfying in both quality and quantity than I had expected. Being able to join the morning service made this trip especially meaningful.

We stayed with our dog. It’s close to the station, the Room is spacious, and the amenities are plentiful—so comfortable it felt like a waste to stay only one night! I didn’t expect any pet amenities, but having pet pads and wet wipes provided was a big help. The drugstore in front of the station didn’t sell pet supplies, so guests traveling with dogs should be aware. As we knew in advance, there are stairs, so if you have a lot of luggage, staying on the second floor is better. We struggled at first because we couldn’t figure out how to unlock the door, but thank you for your kind support by phone and LINE. We will definitely stay again when we visit Hakata! Thank you!

Located right next to Yasaka Shrine with various shops nearby, not only is the Room clean, but the bath is great, and the floor heating is excellent! Everything is perfect! And yet, it's reasonably priced! If you're staying in Kyoto, this place is highly recommended!

Based on the information provided in advance, I honestly didn’t have high expectations for the Hotel itself or the Room. But once I stayed, I found that anyone who loves a Showa-era atmosphere will really appreciate it. The Room is spacious enough, and while you can’t expect the latest Facilities or modern comfort, it feels calm and relaxing. The bath and toilet are in the same space, but it’s very large and even has a separate washing area. If you run the hot water too forcefully it can splash toward the toilet, but as long as you’re careful there’s no problem. I was surprised to see exposed hot- and cold-water pipes for the first time; on the other hand, I felt they may be keeping prices reasonable by not spending too much on hardware upgrades. What truly stands out is breakfast. You enter the dining room from a typical narrow-front local Ryokan-style entrance near reception—and then you’re amazed: shelves along the walls are packed with what seems to be the owner’s collection. It felt like stepping into another world. The way everything is arranged shows real attention to detail, and somehow reflects their personality as well. Breakfast was served in 30-minute time slots, but it seemed freshly prepared after guests arrived, so warm dishes were brought out. The bread, omelet, bacon, and sausages were cooked perfectly. The ingredients aren’t luxurious by any means, but I was genuinely impressed by how heartfelt the cooking was. I also had a bit of friendly conversation with them and got to experience their warm and sincere character firsthand. To be honest, I can’t give high marks for hardware aspects—but for breakfast alone, along with their hospitality and this Showa-style space that you can actually experience here, this Hotel is absolutely worth staying at. If I have another chance, I’d love to return.

It was my first time, so it took me a little while to understand the system, but a regular guest kindly explained it when I asked. The sleeping area and luggage space are small (there are coin lockers with a ¥100 deposit that is returned), so it may be best suited for light travelers. The shower room and washbasins felt clean. Bring earplugs, an eye mask, and your own slippers if needed. There are restaurants and a supermarket within a short walk. Once you get used to it, it seems convenient for solo travel.

Everything was great in a word. The Room was thoroughly cleaned, and the owner was very kind and welcoming. This will be my go-to Accommodation in Ishigaki Island.

The shower room and toilet are impeccably clean and feel like new, with multiple units available for convenience. The Room's air conditioner is appropriately sized for the space, ensuring a cool stay even in the peak of summer. While there is no TV in the Room, it was actually pleasant as there was no noise from neighboring Rooms. In Nakashibetsu, where Hotel availability is limited, discovering this place provides peace of mind for future stays.

Above all, the dinner portions were incredible—and delicious! Crab, shabu-shabu, sashimi, and fried chicken; we were very satisfied. The bath was also comfortable to use (the bath and toilet are shared). The hostess was very kind, and we had a pleasant stay. Lastly, the meal was truly amazing... thank you very much!

There are some things that make you think "a bit off" as mentioned in the reviews, but considering the cost performance and being able to stay with my beloved dog, I personally think this is the best accommodation! It’s definitely one of the accommodations I’d love to visit again.

Nothing particularly outstanding or disappointing. The location is convenient, and you can start exploring Shirakawa Village from the morning. One of the service staff said they are from Yangon and send money back home to support their parents. I realized how tough that must be. When I went sightseeing, there were indeed many international visitors, but I didn’t feel that as much at this Accommodation. If I have the chance, I’d stay again—that’s about it.

We were able to relax in both the bath and the Room. The sound of the river was soothing, and it was an Accommodation we would definitely like to stay at again. By the time we left, our skin felt smooth. Thank you very much.

I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much.

I stayed here on a business trip. The Facility feels a bit dated, but I had no problems during my stay. I would like to stay here again.

You can also enjoy the Onsen in the main building, offering excellent value for money. The staff's hospitality is very pleasant.

The lobby was spacious, and the Hotel was very clean overall. It was a bit disappointing that amenities such as a body sponge and brush were not complimentary and cost 300 yen per set, and that I couldn’t find the hair dryer because it seemed to be in the closet. However, I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

Although I stayed in a familiar area, I was able to enjoy a little escape from the everyday. Thank you very much.

We stayed during the Obon holiday period. The front desk staff were very helpful, and the Facility was clean and well maintained. The perks were exactly as requested, and we were very satisfied. We would like to stay again, especially since pets can stay at this price.
