We stayed as a couple in our 50s. Rather than a Hotel, it feels more like a charming pension-style place, which suits it well. The front desk gave the impression that they may be operating more efficiently than before, and that’s perfectly fine. The staff were all ladies older than us, so the pace was a bit relaxed—but in an endearing way. It felt warm and comfortable. The Room was spacious, with Lake Biwa stretching out beyond the window. Since this area tends to feel cold, even in April they had a heater and blankets prepared. We chose the Omi beef steak course. From the photos I wondered if it might not be enough, but it was very filling and satisfying. For breakfast, we were happy to be able to choose either Japanese or Western style. The curry was especially delicious! The bath is not an Onsen, but it was kept very clean. We went to see the Osaki cherry blossoms by the inlet. Next time, I’d love to visit again during the season when the metasequoia trees are at their best.

It was my first time staying in a Room where the air conditioning was so strong that I thought, “It’s cold!” right after check-in. The cooling worked very well, so I’d like to come again in summer. The location was also great, with an entertainment district nearby. However, you can hear conversations from the hallway fairly clearly, so it may not be suitable for light sleepers or those sensitive to noise.

We stayed as a family of four. The Room was very clean. Outside the Room, we were able to enjoy a barbecue. As long as we brought our own ingredients, everything else was provided, which was great. We had a wonderful time and spent the best holiday together as a family. We would love to stay again.

On the third day of my solo trip from Tokyo to Saga, I stayed at Shunkeiya in Takeo Onsen. It is located right next to the Romon Gate, and the building is very clean and beautiful. They prepared a 14-tatami corner Room for me even though I was traveling alone, and dinner served in the Room was wonderfully varied and absolutely delicious. The attendant assigned to my Room was also excellent, and the free-flowing natural hot spring water was superb. Even though I was on my own, they provided Shuttle Service to the station—an Accommodation where everything was thoughtfully taken care of. I love traveling and have stayed in many places, but considering how reasonably priced it is, I was satisfied with everything here. If it were in the Kanto area, I could visit often—it's a shame it’s not. Next time, I would definitely like to come again with my wife. This first solo trip became a truly wonderful memory for me.

I stayed here on a surf trip to Miyazaki. The owner was very kind, the location was great, and the amenities and rental items were really helpful. I’d love to stay here again!

The Room was incredibly spacious and very comfortable. Since the building isn’t large, it’s easy to get around anywhere. The 24-hour all-you-can-eat and drink corner was especially great. For dinner, it would have been helpful to have scissors at the table so we could cut the grilled dancing abalone before eating. The all-you-can-eat salmon roe was a nice bonus. Overall, this Accommodation was highly satisfying!

Although the building is very old, everything was thoroughly cleaned throughout, and I had a very pleasant stay. All of the staff were so polite it almost made me feel bad. There are also staff members who speak excellent English, so international guests should have no trouble. The meals were generous—perhaps a slightly smaller Plan could be offered as well. The open-air bath, the large public bath, and the in-Room bath (a bit small) all had wonderful water quality. I stayed for two nights from Friday, and quite often it felt like we had the baths to ourselves. For international guests, there seemed to be some confusion about where to take off slippers and how to use the small towel. If you could provide explanations not only in words but also with simple illustrations and written instructions, I think everyone could enjoy bathing more comfortably (for example: dry your body before returning to the changing area—sometimes the floor ends up quite wet). It’s about a 10-minute walk from the station, very quiet, and perfect for relaxing. This is a Ryokan I would like to visit again to support them going forward. On departure they kindly prepared to drive me to the station, but since I still had time before my train I decided to walk instead—and I was surprised when they even apologized for that. Everyone was truly kind. Lastly, the attendant in charge of my Room was friendly and helpful, leaving me with an excellent overall impression. Thank you very much for taking care of me.

My family of three stayed for one night. It was a very clean Hotel, and we could see JR trains from the window. Because it is right in front of the station, it is very convenient and easy to stay at. When we visit Bibai again, we would like to stay here again. Breakfast was free and we were satisfied. Drinks were buffet-style, so we could choose what we liked, such as coffee, juice, and milk. We were very satisfied.

A sulfur-scented, free-flowing hot spring fed directly from the source, shimmering emerald green. Mineral deposits quickly form on the surface—proof of true free-flowing spring water. An Accommodation with no excessive services—just soak in the baths and stay overnight. Yet it feels like it offered the most precious time and opportunity. I’ll come again.

My wife, my parents, and our dog stayed here. Some pet-friendly Hotels have lots of restrictions in the shared areas (like requiring a crate), so this time we chose this entire house rental. The Facility was clean and had a nice atmosphere, and the bath was very large for one person—very satisfying. There aren’t many items left out, so we felt at ease knowing our dog wouldn’t chew on anything. We didn’t include meals, but we ate out near Yubatake for dinner. For breakfast, we had bought various local foods at roadside stations during our trip, and we enjoyed them together as a family. There were hardly any people around the building, and it was wonderfully quiet—just the sound of insects—so we could relax. I also thought it would be a great place to bring friends visiting from overseas. Also, when we went to pick up the key, the foreign staff member was very kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

I stayed here during the hot season in August! When I arrived at the Room, the air conditioner was already on, which was a pleasant surprise and made it nice and cool. The bathroom and toilet were also very clean, so I felt comfortable using them. If I had to mention one thing, it would have been nice to have disposable indoor slippers like those often provided at a Hotel. I don’t really like walking around barefoot. Also, having a vacuum cleaner or a lint roller would make it easier to clean up fallen hair, so I’d appreciate it if those were available. Since the second floor gets hot at night, I recommend using a fan or ceiling fan and airing it out early to get better airflow.

It was our first time glamping, so we were a bit nervous, but we had a very comfortable stay. The parking area had a noticeable animal smell, but the Room was well air-conditioned and easy to relax in. The kids really enjoyed interacting with the animals, so I highly recommend it for families with children who love animals.

The Room was spacious, and I had a very comfortable stay. The strong shower pressure was also a big plus for me. My only complaint is that there is no mirror outside the bathroom.

We had a very comfortable stay. After making our Hotel Reservation, we contacted you several times with questions by phone and email, and your responses were clear and very kind. At check-in, the staff also helped us with parking and carried our luggage to our Room, so we felt this is a Hotel with truly excellent service. It’s a Hotel we would definitely like to stay at again.

This was our second stay at Accommodation Noshi-yu. We stayed in a different room this time, and the smooth check-in process in the room was great. The room was very comfortable and relaxing. The staff's service was also attentive. The meals were delicious, showcasing the accommodation's dedication to quality. As always, the hot spring was perfect. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return again!

I have been using it frequently, but since around last year, possibly due to SDGs initiatives, the amenities have become less luxurious. It might appeal to environmentally conscious individuals, but for regular guests, it just feels like a downgrade in the Hotel's quality.

We stayed at Waku, a place we had long wanted to visit. A luxurious private rental of an entire house. My spouse and I enjoyed a peaceful, quiet time. We were also deeply moved by the guest-only prayer service and temple viewing. The person who guided us was warm and attentive, which made our stay very comfortable. We also learned more about Mii-dera Temple, making it an unforgettable experience.

Upon arriving at the Hotel lobby, I was greeted warmly and assisted in Japanese right away, which made me feel at ease. Most of the other guests were from overseas, and I didn’t hear anyone speaking Japanese during my stay. The Room was still quite new, so it felt clean and spacious. I also appreciated the height of the sink. It would be even better if the price were a bit lower.

The staff who assisted with both check-in and check-out were very friendly and welcoming, always with a smile. The Room was clean and comfortable, though it was difficult to sit on the sofa. At night, I used the restaurant since it was open late, and every dish was delicious. I was surprised by the size of the French toast at breakfast; it was hard to finish, but the buffet items were also tasty. I would like to stay again when visiting Ebisu. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay at an auberge. The French cuisine, enjoyed with chopsticks, was incredibly delicious, and the carefully selected tableware added to the experience. The Onsen was almost like a private bath, with gentle water that left my skin feeling smooth. There was no TV in the room, but it allowed me to relax and unwind fully.
