We stayed at the Livemax Sakishima Cosmo Tower Hotel. As a family of four with small children, having both beds and a tatami area was very convenient and made our stay very comfortable. Our children said they want to stay again, and we would like to use it again when we come to Osaka.

The Room was too dark and difficult to use, and it was disappointing that there was no information on how to use the parking lot. I think the front desk staff handled things well.

It was excellent, but I’d like to use a sauna if one is available.

I stayed here on a business trip. It’s a route I usually take, but I hadn’t noticed this place before. The Onsen is in an annex, and guests can reach it from the main building via a connecting corridor. They also seem to offer day-use bathing, with a separate entrance for the general public. There are three baths at different temperatures and a cooling/rest area, so I could relax and take my time. I’d like to stay here again.

They kindly accommodated our unreasonable requests, and we were very satisfied.

This hotel is a renovated accommodation. The room I stayed in had a slightly old-fashioned atmosphere, but there seem to be clean rooms as well. The TV offers plenty of movies to watch, and the bathroom is very spacious. If you have older children, it might be something to consider. The reception staff provided polite service. If you park in the inner parking lot, there’s no issue; however, if you park outside, the steep slope may cause most cars to scrape underneath. It’s better to park at a nearby Times parking lot instead—they will adjust for the difference in cost. I had a comfortable stay overall. Of course, there is only one bed available in the room.

The door had a traditional keyhole-style lock, but the Room was clean and comfortable to stay in. It’s about a 5-minute walk from the station, so the location is convenient.

One person had to be a No Show at the last minute, but they calculated the Hot Spring Tax only for the number of guests who stayed, which was very kind. An overseas staff member assisted us at the front desk, and their language, guidance, and service were excellent—I was truly impressed. The Room was also divided into two separate areas inside, each with its own door, which solved my husband’s snoring issue. There was a large public bath and a microwave as well, which was convenient. It was a bit disappointing that the parking lot can fit only four cars when parked tightly, and that the futons were thin. I think it would be even better if thicker mattresses were introduced. That said, the hospitality was truly outstanding; I work in customer service too, and it made me want to learn from them. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us during our stay.

Stayed with breakfast and dinner included for a trip to Chikubu Island. The rate was very good for a stay with two meals, and the food was plentiful and delicious. Compared with a Business Hotel, the Room and the bathroom/toilet are more spacious, so you can relax comfortably. The discount on the sightseeing boat was also a plus, and the Shuttle Service to/from the station and the sightseeing boat pier was a welcome service.

The interior had been nicely renovated. Some trash from the previous guest was left behind, so the cleaning was a bit disappointing, but we were still able to spend a comfortable stay in the spacious Room. The Onsen also has great water. All of the staff were kind and provided courteous service. The meals were fairly standard but tasty, and we left feeling full. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

The building reflects its age. The open-air bath is slightly small, and the high walls reduce the sense of openness. However, the meals are delicious.

We stopped by on our way back from Nara Kenko Land. So we didn’t use the bath, but when we took a quick look, it seemed like a perfect size for three family members. As for meals, we went to a nearby yakitori restaurant for dinner so I can’t comment on that, but breakfast was delicious! Even though it was a last-minute stay, I was happy that dessert included Kyoho grapes. For our child, the dessert was Kyoho grapes and peaches. It was a tasty, home-style breakfast. The futon bedding was also fluffy and very comfortable. The Facility is old, but if that doesn’t bother you, it’s fine. I couldn’t figure out where the refrigerator was—was there one? Overall, we were satisfied. Thank you very much.

After seeing this on TikTok, we booked a weekday stay for three with the “Bountiful Boat Platter of Spiny Lobster, Flounder, and Abalone <1 night with 2 meals>” plan. Before dinner, we enjoyed the Onsen bath. The water was silky and pleasantly thick—better than expected and very relaxing. Then came the highlight: dinner with the boat platter. It was truly impressive in both presentation and taste. Of course, it featured spiny lobster and flounder as the main items, but it was also a well-crafted course with thoughtful touches such as juvenile fish and deep-fried fish scales. That said, the portions were huge, so we did start to tire of sashimi a bit. Since there were also sashimi options like bonito, spiny lobster, and flounder, we felt ponzu sauce or yuzu pepper would have made it even better. Amenities included only a toothbrush and face towel, so we rated that 4 stars; however, at this price point—and as a Ryokan—we were satisfied overall. As for the Facility features: the foldable hair dryer wobbled at the hinge while in use and was difficult to handle, so we rated that 4 stars. Still, although some parts are old, it’s clear everything is kept clean and well maintained. We’d love to visit again in a different season.

Although the building has a charming, old-fashioned feel, it was thoroughly cleaned and we had a comfortable stay. The Onsen is on the lukewarm side, but it truly is a skin-beautifying bath! Being able to bathe 24 hours a day is also very appealing. We stayed with our pet, and the cage provided was a large size and very convenient to use. We’d love to come back again next year.

Its location is perfect for getting around, so I stay here several times every year. The breakfast bread and coffee are delicious. I usually choose an ocean-side room, but this time there were no vacancies so I stayed on the mountain side. The Facility seemed up to date, and I felt the mountain side is a good option too. I will stay again.

This was our first time staying here. There were five of us, and it was spacious enough. We didn’t use them, but the kitchen and washing machine made it feel like we could stay for days. There was also a loft. The place was well cleaned, so we had a very comfortable stay. The garden had a nice atmosphere too, although we didn’t use it because of the heat and insects. There are restaurants nearby, and since we brought food and drinks, having a refrigerator was very convenient. We’d love to stay again—thank you very much.

I didn’t know there was such a nice Hotel in Chino. However, some guests staying at the long-term stay Facility across the road tend to gather at the smoking area in front of the entrance, which may make some women hesitant.

Our group was 7 people (two families, including our grandchild) with four dogs. The only disappointing points about the amenities were that the bath towels smelled a little, and there were no skincare items such as lotion—so I’m glad we brought our own. However, there was plenty of information available on the TV, and among all the dog-friendly hotels we’ve stayed at, this was the best. The meals, Onsen, and activities were all available inside the Hotel, so we never got bored and had a very fulfilling stay—we were extremely satisfied. One night wasn’t enough, so next time we plan to stay for two nights. We were also very happy to have a buffet where we could dine with our dogs in a calm setting. I hope more Hotels like this will open in the future.

Because of a sudden change of plans, we made a last-minute Reservation and stayed here, and it was far more enjoyable than we expected! In the lobby right by the entrance, there was a kids’ play area, board games, and a small complimentary ice cream service—our child was thrilled. Meals were buffet-style, with a wide variety of items stylishly displayed, which made dining fun. We were especially impressed by the many dishes featuring ingredients from Ibaraki. Even though our Reservation was last-minute, they handled food allergies very carefully—for example, providing us with a detailed list—which we really appreciated. Our Room had not been renovated, so we noticed a slight musty smell and some humidity. If we stay again, we would like to reserve a renovated Room. Overall, the staff were very kind and made our stay comfortable.

From the warm welcome to the heartfelt farewell, the hospitality was exceptional. There were families staying on the same day, and it was lovely to see how attentively everyone was cared for. As described beforehand, the building has a historic charm. However, those who are sensitive to older structures might find it less suitable; hence my 4-star rating. Personally, I found the Facility more than adequate and impeccably clean, making my stay very comfortable. As of late October, in addition to air conditioning, heaters were placed throughout the property along with a kotatsu and even hot water bottles—ensuring excellent cold-weather preparation. The bath is small but can be enjoyed almost privately if timed well; it wasn’t too hot and allowed for a relaxing soak. Meals featured local ingredients thoughtfully explained by staff and paired with an excellent selection of sake. The breakfast side dishes were particularly delightful and suited my taste perfectly. Although I stayed alone this time, I would love to return with my family in the future if given another opportunity!
