This was my first stay at NIPPONIA Chichibu Monzenmachi, and I stayed in Room 102 of the MARUJU building. Room 102 is a maisonette-style guest room created by converting an entire kura storehouse, so I had been genuinely looking forward to it even before arriving. When I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and excellent service, and check-in was accompanied by explanations about the property’s history and unique features. I was then shown to Room 102. The door wasn’t new—it was the original one from when it was a storehouse—so I felt excited even before stepping inside. As soon as I opened the door with high expectations, I found myself in a truly unique, extraordinary space. With its open atrium design, the first floor is a living area; climbing the original ladder from its storehouse days leads to the second-floor bedroom. It’s such a spacious room that it feels like it could be two separate rooms across two levels. The nostalgic atmosphere comes from how beautifully it blends preserved beams and walls from the past with modern comfort. The hinoki cypress bath I had been looking forward to was larger and deeper than expected. Even before filling it, the pleasant scent of hinoki filled the bathroom; once hot water was added, the aroma became even richer, making it wonderfully relaxing even without hot-spring water. Dinner—something I had eagerly awaited—was truly delicious from appetizers to main course to dessert. You could also feel great attention paid not only to plating but also to every piece of tableware used. The course featured plenty of locally sourced ingredients; while it goes without saying that both venison and river fish were excellent, I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully they brought out the flavors of local vegetables and by how outstanding each sauce tasted. It’s hard to describe well from appetizer through main course, but every dish looked unlike what you’d expect—and each bite delivered a delightful surprise. Breakfast offered a complete change of pace: traditional Japanese cuisine. The assortment of small side dishes let me enjoy many different flavors, and the classic miso soup was exceptional. As an old folk-house hotel, it has an abundance of nostalgic charm while still being impeccably clean. With wonderful food and genuinely hospitable staff, this became a Chichibu trip that left me completely satisfied.

A very convenient Hotel in the city center. It also has parking, and we were able to park for free. It was affordable, and since there were three of us we chose a suite; it was larger than a certain famous Hotel, with a sparkling marble luxury living room, kitchen—everything was spacious and very comfortable. There was even a bath on the balcony!! If you try hard enough, you can even see the ocean lol So luxurious that you’ll wonder, “At this price?” Having a gas dryer in the Room was the best! Breakfast is a complimentary service breakfast so the portions are modest, but the warm, large rice balls were really delicious! The Accommodation staff were also kind and welcoming, and we made great memories. Thank you very much!

This was my first time trying ramen. They offered salt and soy sauce flavors, and I chose the soy sauce. The portion size was just right, and it was very delicious. It was also a big help that my friend could leave our luggage before check-in. If I have the chance, I would like to stay again next time.

This is my third stay, and the hot springs are outstanding. The meals are delicious, and the staff’s hospitality is impeccable. I’d love to visit again when I have the chance.

It would be perfect if you could provide amenities such as facial toner. I was so tired that I went to sleep as I was, expecting my skin to get dry.

There were complimentary drinks and ochazuke, and I was happy to receive amenity items for women as well. The in-room bath and toilet were spacious, and there was also a large public bath, so I could relax. Breakfast was very delicious!

I stayed here last year and had such a great experience that I came back again. The location offers easy access to Minato Mirai and central Tokyo, and not only is the Room great, but the laundry facilities are convenient and easy to use—and I can’t resist the Komeda breakfast (lol). Next month, I’ll be staying again with my grandchild during summer vacation. Thank you very much!

I stayed in a newly renovated Room, and it was wonderful. The in-room perks were excellent. In particular, the all-you-can-eat gelato was an incredibly generous service—perfect after the Onsen—and I enjoyed trying many different flavors. Everything was delicious. The pre-dinner aperitif can be chosen from the menu, and the lounge coffee machine is truly high-quality, so I used it many times. Both the quality and quantity of the meals were very satisfying, and what impressed me most was the staff. There were many young team members, but everyone’s hospitality was outstanding. Some staff members spent a long time chatting with elderly guests because they were approached for conversation, yet they responded without showing any displeasure at all—I was genuinely impressed. You can also enjoy two different types of Onsen water, and I think this Accommodation offers excellent value for money. I will definitely return again. Thank you very much for taking such great care of me.

This was my first stay at Dormy Inn, inspired by the thoroughly well-designed service system I experienced this summer when staying at La Vista Kirishima, part of Kyoritsu Resort Group. I arrived too early and had important luggage, so I couldn’t leave; it was very kind of the staff to tell me about their early check-in option (1,000 yen). Rather than the enveloping sense of happiness you might get at a luxury city Hotel, I felt their Facilities and service system—meticulously designed for reliability, convenience, efficiency, and safety—were truly impressive. It is a remarkably attentive Hotel.

I was able to stay for one night after being on the waitlist. As others have written, both the Onsen and the meals were wonderful. The Room was spacious and thoughtfully prepared, and the bed was large and very comfortable, so I was able to relax and unwind at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like a Multiple Night Stay.

I think this Accommodation is perfect for a stay during the Gion Festival. I also enjoyed both the Italian and Japanese cuisine. Watching a maiko dance during my stay became a wonderful memory—thank you very much. It seems that, in exchange for opening the lounge, the drinks in the refrigerator have been limited to mineral water only. However, because the lounge has short opening hours, it was not very convenient. I usually stay at Hiramatsu-level Accommodations, but this was the first time I had to buy sparkling mineral water at a convenience store during my stay. That said, it is still a great Accommodation, and I would be happy to stay again.

It was a wonderful Accommodation that exceeded my expectations. The property was quiet, with a slow, relaxing pace of time—an atmosphere that lets you forget everyday life. The Room was spotless and beautifully maintained, and the open-air bath attached to the Room had excellent water quality and was so comfortable I wanted to soak in it again and again. There is also a large public bath, but I think you’ll be more than satisfied with the bath in your Room alone. The meals were carefully prepared using mainly locally sourced ingredients, and everything was delicious. In addition to the Room, there were thoughtful touches such as a footbath and complimentary drink service, making our stay feel truly luxurious. I’d love to visit again in a different season next time.

This was my first stay here. Because it’s a little away from the busy area, the surroundings were quiet. Still, it was very convenient—about a 5-minute walk to Sannomiya Station. Arriving by car was a bit confusing due to one-way streets (haha). The Hotel parking lot was full, but I was able to park at a nearby flat parking lot right away, which was also convenient. The Hotel and its Facility were very clean. The Room was clean as well. Two things stood out: there was heavy limescale around the sink overflow, and since it’s right in sight, it felt disappointing. When I tried rubbing it lightly, it came off easily (haha), so I hope this can be addressed. The other issue was that when I lifted the bed runner, I found several short white hairs. Hair is surprisingly noticeable, and I think many guests would be concerned too—not just me. This Hotel also has a large public bath. Since I went for a morning run, being able to use the bath afterward felt great. One more thing: the Room TV shows how crowded the public bath is supposed to be, but in the morning it displayed “crowded.” I hesitated but decided to go anyway—and no one was there. It didn’t seem to be real-time information. I’ve mentioned several points, but overall I think this is a very good Hotel. If I visit Kobe again, I’d like to stay here again.

It was good value for the price. I would like towels to be available in the large public bath.

The entire property is spotless and feels very clean. The Room was also clean, and the toilet in particular looked brand new. Of course, the baths are spacious, with various types of baths and a sauna. Bath hours are until 11:00 PM, so I ended up going right before closing each time, but I was satisfied. Checkout was smooth since all I had to do was put the key in the box. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Ishikawa Prefecture.

We needed a last-minute stay for three (parent and child), so we chose this Hotel because it had availability. I didn’t expect much—just somewhere to sleep—but the Room was simple yet very clean, and our 6-year-old son was thrilled with the big bed! The breakfast buffet was also surprisingly delicious. It felt like great value for the price. This is a Hotel we’d love to use again—Done!

5 minutes from Suidobashi Station and within 10 minutes of Tokyo Dome. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores between the Dome and the Hotel, so it’s very convenient, yet the area around the Hotel is quiet. On the 3rd floor, there is a relaxation room with massage chairs available free of charge 24 hours a day (perfect for relieving fatigue), as well as a refresh lounge (coffee served during designated hours). The Western-style breakfast buffet was truly delicious—roast beef, chicken ham, and smoked salmon were all perfectly seasoned, tender, and carefully prepared. The apple pastries and French toast were also tasty without being overly sweet. (I’d also like to try the limited-quantity Japanese breakfast or use it for lunch only.) The front desk staff and the breakfast venue staff were both excellent, and I would like to stay again. The small gardens glistening in the rain were lovely everywhere, turning bad weather into something positive. I rated it 4 only because there is no large public bath and the bathroom has a combined bath/toilet layout; personally, it didn’t bother me at all. I felt this Hotel offers thoughtful touches throughout—from the soft comfort of the pajamas to attentive details. Thank you for letting me relax until check-out at 11:00.

This Hotel has truly wonderful staff. I don’t think there are many Hotels where the team is this naturally warm and friendly. It made me feel at ease. Also, the breakfast was so delicious that it surprised me. Each dish felt carefully prepared. The curry in particular tasted like it was from a specialty restaurant (or even better). I was able to relax in a spacious setting and was very satisfied. One disappointing point: when I turned on the air conditioner because of the intense heat, an unpleasant sour-smelling air blew out. I couldn’t stand it, so I opened the window and gave up on using the air conditioner. Also, a large garbage bag—apparently left outside a guest room—was left sitting in the hallway, which made me uncomfortable. (I understand staff can’t constantly patrol, so this may be more an issue of guest manners.) When I visit Kumamoto again, I would like to stay here and enjoy breakfast again, so please just address the air conditioner cleaning issue.

The building was simply wonderful. We stayed in the detached Room “Gion” with an open-air bath, and it was very spacious with high ceilings; the dark brown beams and pillars gave it a charming atmosphere. There were two semi-double beds, and they were fluffy and very comfortable. The in-room open-air bath was spacious and amazing (the view would likely be especially beautiful in late autumn or when it’s snowy—though getting there might be a bit challenging). Dinner was also very delicious.

It was so comfortable that I stayed two months in a row. I had a great time last month, so this time I stayed with friends for a girls’ night. Last time I was on the 6th floor, and this time on the 5th, which felt just right in terms of height. The Room is very spacious and comfortable, and the layout makes it easy to get around the building. We spent a long time chatting in the lounge. I really appreciated the wide selection of complimentary drinks and the snacks provided. Other guests in the lounge were also considerate and used it quietly. I would definitely like to visit again. The open-air bath was also very relaxing. Thank you for such a soothing stay.
