Since I was out and about all day, I stayed here just to sleep and used APA Hotel for the first time. It was spotlessly cleaned, efficiently designed with no waste, and thoughtfully detailed throughout—an ideal Hotel for business trips. The Onsen was also greatly appreciated; it helped me relax, improved my circulation, and I slept very well. I was also surprised that they clean the air conditioner filters every time. This is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again.

Thank you very much for your hospitality on this occasion. There were no major issues, and I am grateful that I was able to enjoy a generally comfortable stay. I hesitated to write this in a Review, but as I have no other way to convey my message, please allow me to share a few requests for improvement here. I am usually assigned Room 820, but this time I was shown to Room 620 for the first time. A common issue in both rooms is that the air-conditioning temperature setting is limited to a minimum of 23°C. This may not be a problem in midsummer when outdoor temperatures are high, but at this time of year the nighttime temperature drops, and at 23°C the cooling does not work well enough; each time, it becomes uncomfortably warm and makes it difficult to sleep. I understand the intention of narrowing the selectable temperature range and adjusting output at the outdoor cooling tower unit in order to reduce utility costs; however, if that results in guests having to endure an uncomfortable room temperature, I feel that is problematic. If possible, I would appreciate it if guests could select down to around 21°C. For reference, at Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Station East Exit, cooling can be set down to 20°C. In addition, compared with before the renovation, removing the working desk space and also removing the two towel hooks that were on the wall to its left has been inconvenient—there is now nowhere suitable to hang used bath towels to dry. Even in a twin room, there should be other guests besides myself who work in their rooms; having only a small table in front of a small high sofa is inconvenient. Also, leaving two chairs sitting by themselves where the desk area used to be seems like wasted floor space—and even on the lighting switch it still says “desk.” For your reference, I have attached an image of bath towel hooks installed in the full changing area at Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Station East Exit. Regarding Facility items specific to Room 620: The screw on the right-side bracket of the face-towel hook by the sink is loose and wobbles; please tighten it. Also, as for wall-mounted TV set: it tilts downward by about 7 mm on its left side; if possible, I would appreciate it if you could correct this. I sincerely apologize for raising such detailed points like an overly picky guest; however, there are many excellent aspects otherwise. As I would like continue staying with you going forward as well، these comments are offered with hopes for further improvements in convenience. I would be grateful if you could consider them positively.

Three female friends and I stayed for two nights. Dinner was a set course, and the menu was different on each night. For breakfast, in addition to individual plated assortments, there was also a buffet with salad, hot-spring eggs, and more—and above all, everything was delicious and truly impressive!! The service was also excellent!! The reason I rated the facilities and amenities 4 is that the water faucet at the far right of the washing area in the hot spring made a loud noise when running hot water; I also wished cotton swabs were available at the amenity station near the front desk (they were in the bathroom); and on the second night towels were left in our room and trash had been taken out, but used towels were left behind, and our glasses were not replaced, which was disappointing. However, when we mentioned this at the front desk, they apologized very politely. If I have a chance to visit Akita again, I would definitely like to stay here. Thank you very much for two wonderful days!!

There were so many delightful touches at this inn. The homemade chestnut pudding we received at check-in was delicious, as were the detox water and several types of drip coffee in the lobby lounge. Beautiful handmade washi paper lamps were placed throughout the property, and the bath amenities—including natural aromatherapy hair and skincare products such as OSAJI—were wonderfully soothing. Breakfast was excellent all the way through dessert. Most of all, we truly appreciated the proprietress noticing my husband’s back pain and cane, and kindly offering thoughtful assistance throughout our stay. Thank you very much to the proprietress and all the staff for your warm hospitality.

Located very close to Kirishima Shrine, we visited after worship and enjoyed a consistently comfortable stay, enhanced by the refreshing hospitality. We also savored a variety of dishes that exceeded our expectations, and I was happy to see my mother enjoy her meal even more than usual. There are many stairs on the way to the hot springs, but unusually for her, my 80-year-old mother said her knees and lower back felt better after soaking and she enjoyed the baths twice. The room has a sense of history, yet it was thoroughly cleaned, and even on the way to our room we were soothed by the aroma of tea. We will visit again with our family in the near future. Thank you very much.

I was surprised to find my skin felt so smooth the next morning. The hot spring and large public bath were excellent. Dinner is served in a semi-private setting, so you can relax and enjoy your meal. Breakfast is buffet-style with a wide variety of options, and both Japanese and Western dishes are delicious. I went back for seconds of the clam miso soup. There is also a shuttle bus to the station, making it convenient even if you’re not driving.

We visited LEGOLAND for the first time on a birthday trip for my son, who just turned 7. Before heading to the park, we left our luggage at the hotel (you can check in, but rooms are available from 4:00 PM). We played from the 10:00 AM opening until the 6:00 PM closing—my son rode a total of 24 attractions and had an amazing time—then headed back to the hotel. As soon as you exit the park gate, the LEGOLAND Hotel is right in front of you. It’s colorful and adorable, and the dragon statue by the entrance is impressive. It also looks beautiful when lit up at night! The lobby has a large LEGO “pool” play area filled with bricks, plus a gift shop. On the second floor there are immersive play areas—a Western-style castle, a pirate ship, and a ninja castle—so kids get super excited. The buffet restaurant is full of LEGO-built chefs and waiters everywhere, which makes it so fun. There were so many spots that made me want to take photos. The breakfast buffet (included for all guests) has an unbelievable variety—you can’t possibly try everything! They even have ready-to-eat baby food. In addition to standard Western breakfast items, there are Japanese dishes like kishimen noodles and obanzai-style sides—and everything was delicious. There’s also plenty of drinks and desserts. The elevator won’t move unless you tap your room key. Inside, a mirror ball spins while it runs and fun music plays. The hallway has vending machines and a free ice machine (so convenient). Drinks from the vending machines are pricey (a bottle of Coke is ¥300), but there aren’t any convenience stores nearby, so if you want something you’ll need to buy it there. In the room they provide four small bottles of I LOHAS water along with cocoa powder plus coffee, black tea, green tea, etc.—and you can quickly chill hot cocoa using ice from down the hall. Both the hallways and rooms are packed with LEGO theming—it’s fantastic! From the adults’ bedroom window you can see LEGOLAND lit up right in front of you. The kids sleep in a separate room on the other side of the bathroom; it has bunk beds and a puzzle treasure box. My child kept playing with LEGO while watching NINJAGO on TV. The bathroom was unit style but spacious enough—and it dries quickly after use so it doesn’t feel damp. Most staff members seemed quite young, but everyone was very kind—especially to children—and worked energetically with big smiles. It was truly a wonderful hotel. We would love to stay again!

A Room with a wonderful view where you can relax in peace, delicious meals, and a Ryokan with an outstanding staff. No matter how many times we stay, it always makes us want to come back! Especially when I have the soup course served with the meal, it warms my heart and makes me feel, “I’m back at Arashizuki.” Thank you as always for the delicious food! Thank you very much for kindly accommodating us without any sign of displeasure, even though we caused you too much trouble this time—such as letting us park early, allowing us to rest inside before check-in, and canceling ukai on the day.

Three years ago, I made a Reservation at your Hotel, but I had to Cancel the Reservation due to a forecast of rain from an approaching typhoon, which led to the cancellation of the game. This time, I made a Reservation because the forecast predicts no rain. Your Hotel is located near the Morisekinoshita Station on the Sendai Airport Access Line, but since there are only two trains per hour, I walked from Natori Station on the Tohoku Line. It took about 20 minutes to walk from Natori Station to your Hotel, which felt a bit far. After watching the baseball game, on my way back to the Hotel, I was lucky to catch a train from Sendai Station to Sendai Airport, so I used the Airport Access Line. The room I stayed in was on the second floor, which was the lowest floor for guest rooms. There is a large bath in the Hotel, which I used. It was perfect for a bath after watching the baseball game. The next morning, the breakfast at Route Inn was delicious.

It was our first time staying here. The ocean view from the Room was breathtaking. It was also great to watch the surfers having fun out on the waves. We brought two dogs with us, and they seemed to enjoy it as well. The staff were kind and helpful. Next time, we’d like to stay again with a two-meal plan. Thank you.

We stayed at this Accommodation after several days of hiking. The building feels a bit old, but it is in a quiet location, the Room was clean, and the amenities were well stocked. The baths were especially nice, with multiple tubs and soft, pleasant water. Dinner was generous, and with rice we were completely full. If possible, it would be nice to have explanations of the dishes or a menu. It’s an Accommodation we would like to stay at again.

My mother, my wife, and I stayed for one night in one Room. It was a Japanese-style Room, and it was clean and well maintained, with a great selection of amenities. The body soap, shampoo, conditioner, and face wash were all high quality and felt wonderful to use. The front desk staff were very pleasant and welcoming, and the breakfast had a wide variety of dishes and was very delicious. If I have the chance to visit Shimane again, I will definitely stay here again.

The location right next to the station was very convenient. The breakfast also had a wide variety of items, and I was very satisfied. If I had to mention any complaints: perhaps because it’s along the railway tracks, the soundproofing on the track side is excellent—there was no noise at all. However... the hallway door is loud and has no soundproofing whatsoever. Being able to clearly hear conversations and noises from people in the corridor is a downside. I couldn’t hear noise through the walls, so the building and wall insulation seems good, but there is virtually no soundproofing around the door area. It’s a shame. Also, there was hair on a bath towel, and although the bathroom itself was clean, the lower part of the bathroom door looked like it hadn’t been cleaned and was dirty, which was disappointing. Still, even taking these into account—the delicious breakfast, convenience, and comfortable Room thanks to how new it is—I’m very satisfied for this price. I’ll stay again!

I stayed at Ne no Hana at Otoiroka no Toki once a long time ago, and because all Rooms are separate villas with spacious, relaxing interiors, I chose to stay again after a round of golf. I was very satisfied with the thoughtful service from the staff. The meals were also excellent, and it was great that additional dishes could be ordered separately. Above all, the head chef personally came to greet us and brought homemade pickles—I enjoyed them so much that I asked for seconds three times. The way the natural flavors of the ingredients were highlighted while still being refined deserves high praise. This Accommodation is highly recommended for anyone who wants to spend quiet, private time. At check-out we were seen off, and it was my first time ever to be personally seen off by the head chef as well. His smile was wonderful and made me want to come back again without hesitation. Since I’m a big foodie, I tend to rate an Accommodation based on its meals; from the very first dish I felt confident it would be great—and in fact I returned to my Room completely full and satisfied. I hope to stop by again around early autumn. Thank you very much for everything.

A relaxing Accommodation in a quiet setting away from the city. The Room includes a kitchen and is highly recommended for long-term stays, but there are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby. It is essential to buy anything you need in advance in the city or around the airport. A short path near the Accommodation leads to a peaceful beach—better suited for walking than swimming. At night, there are no surrounding lights, so you can enjoy a breathtaking sky full of stars. Breakfast is a Western-style one-plate meal with the same menu every day, so guests on a Multiple Night Stay may want to supplement it with additional items.

I made a Reservation because this is an Accommodation where you can stay with pets, but I think it is wonderful even without a pet. There was none of the bustle you might find at a large Ryokan, and the Accommodation was located in a quiet villa area not far from Jogasaki Coast. As I wanted a Room where meals could be served in a private dining space, I stayed this time in the Room called “Akane.” This Room had an exceptionally spacious layout with a living area, dining area, and bedroom, and it was very comfortable to relax in. The staff were also gentle and kind, allowing us to spend a peaceful time together as a family. The food was so plentiful we could hardly finish it—a creative course meal that truly felt like an escape from everyday life—and everything was delicious and very satisfying. I also appreciated how carefully they confirmed any ingredients we do not like in advance, making this an Accommodation I would love to visit again. We were told the outdoor open-air bath uses water drawn from Atagawa’s hot spring source; the temperature was perfect, and I enjoyed it many times during our stay. Unfortunately, we did not have good weather during our visit, which was the only disappointment. I will come back for another try at enjoying the open-air bath while watching the sunrise. Next time, I would like to stay for two nights at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The staff at the reception and dining area were very helpful, the bath was spacious and clean, and the meals were delicious. Also, Hana-chan, the Accommodation’s character, appears in various places and is both soothing and informative with helpful comments, which made me feel that a lot of thought has gone into the details. I would love to stay here again.

We stayed here a few years ago and returned because of the outstanding, one-of-a-kind location right above the sea. We’ve used several properties in THE HOUSE series, and this one has the most impressive sense of closeness to the ocean. It’s a short walk from the parking area, but that actually adds to the special feel. The only disappointment was that both the red and white shabu-shabu broths at dinner were spicy. At our home, shabu-shabu isn’t something we associate with spicy flavors, and we chose a meal-included Plan because shabu-shabu is usually something children can eat as well. Since neither of us adults can handle spicy food either, once we realized both broths were spicy, we rushed to a convenience store to buy a non-spicy hot pot soup base... I imagine families with children may stay here too, so it would be helpful if the meal description clearly stated when only spicy options are provided. That said, both the meat and vegetables were very delicious.

We stayed for one night as a couple. The interior, room, and Onsen were all clean and satisfying. The complimentary coffee provided at the front desk was very delicious. The staff were very kind and accommodating, making it a hotel we would like to stay at again.

This time, it was her birthday on the day of our stay, and the hotel kindly prepared a small mini cake plate for us, which was wonderful. Thank you very much. I would definitely like to use this accommodation again if I have the chance.
