The staff were kind and attentive. I was able to spend a relaxing holiday. If you don’t expect too much from the bath or amenities, you’ll be satisfied. The Facility was also kept clean. Thank you!

A month after returning from my trip, what I still remember most is the owner’s generously piled chicken tempura rice bowl—he started preparing it from midday when I said I wanted to eat it, even though it wasn’t planned—and the cheerful hostess who told me about what makes the island special and about the stars here. This is a warm Accommodation run by wonderful people like them. The tuna rice bowl was also delicious, and breakfast was great too—an Accommodation that makes you look forward to every meal. From the terrace you can see the sea and hear the waves, which feels truly luxurious. The Room and Facility were clean, but since it’s exactly as shown in the photos, it may be best to think of it as similar to dorm-style living. It’s an Accommodation where travelers can drop in casually and then set off again on their journey. Thank you so much for giving me pain-relief patches as a souvenir when I threw out my back, and for driving me to the bus stop at the bottom of the hill. I’d love to come back someday just to eat again.

The Facility was new and clean overall. The sauna was great for a good sweat, and I could cool down using the water tub outside the sauna. However, there was no nameplate in front of the house, and since it is located in the woods, it was difficult to find the Accommodation. The grounds were covered with weeds and visibility was poor, so I think we would have enjoyed it more if the weeds had been cleared.

It was great to have access to a washing machine and dryer. Detergent and fabric softener were provided, but they were empty when I wanted to use them, possibly due to high usage. Because of this, I rated it 4 stars, but it was still a nice free service. The Room was spacious, clean, and had a fresh new smell with a relaxing layout. Dishes and cooking utensils were well-equipped, which was very convenient. The bathroom was clean with shampoo and conditioner provided. Even though the Facility seemed fully booked, noise wasn’t much of an issue. The security for the entrance and indoor doors felt reliable as well. I would love to use this Facility again in the future! Thank you!

We chose this Ryokan because our 7-year-old wanted to try fishing, and we also wanted to eat live squid. The Facility itself felt like a classic Showa-era Ryokan—an older building with what seemed like quite a lot of Rooms—but it appears they currently limit reservations to only 2–3 parties. Since I work in real estate, I found myself imagining how challenging it must have been in the past to serve meals and accommodate large numbers of guests here. As for the fishing, the proprietress kindly taught us step by step, which was a huge help. However, perhaps due to the heavy rain, we only caught one small fish. Still, our child was thrilled, and it became a wonderful experience. For dinner, we thoroughly enjoyed the squid we had been looking forward to, and they also served our catch as fried fish. We were very satisfied. Saga Prefecture is far from where we live, so I’m not sure when we’ll be able to visit again—but if we get the chance, I’d love to return. The area around the Facility felt a bit quiet due to an aging population, but I hope this traditional Japanese Ryokan continues for many years.

A wonderful private rental Accommodation on Maejima Island, about a 5-minute ferry ride from Ushimado Port. The Room and Facility were spotless, and the bath offered spectacular views of the calm Seto Inland Sea and a beautiful sky. The meal was also excellent—super-fresh sashimi, plenty of small side dishes, and delicious grilled kama—with generous portions that left us completely full. Beautiful sunflowers were in full bloom on the island as well. It was a relaxing trip to Okayama. We’d love to visit again in spring or autumn. Thank you!

I stayed one night in Yuda Onsen for business and, traveling alone, chose this Accommodation for a quieter stay than a tourist Hotel. Even without any prior information, it exceeded my expectations with excellent Facilities and service, a high-quality Onsen with an open-air bath, breakfast, and even free massage chairs after the Onsen. I was able to truly relax. Above all, the staff were all very pleasant and made me feel welcome. It’s an Accommodation that makes me want to return.

We stayed here for a family trip during the Obon holidays.\nIt felt like a private villa, and it was wonderful.\nHowever, it rained, so the barbecue didn’t really pick up.\nI think we would have enjoyed it even more if the weather had been better.

This was my third stay. The bath, of course, and the meals are truly delicious—I’m completely satisfied every time. However, since it’s a cold mineral spring, I don’t have the courage to visit except during the warmer months. I hear mushroom dishes are served in autumn, so I’m thinking of taking the plunge and making a Reservation, but it’s such a popular Accommodation that it’s hard to secure one. The proprietress is even cuter than the cats—I hope she stays well and keeps this place going for a long time. I’ll be back.

A traditional Onsen Accommodation. The Room has no air conditioning and feels very retro, but it is very comfortable. The bath is on the hotter side, but the water is very soft, so even if it’s hot you can soak for a long time. Breakfast was also very delicious. The staff were very kind and welcoming. I really like this kind of Accommodation.

The shared spaces and the Room were clean. The staff provided excellent service. When I stayed, the other guests were considerate of one another, which made it a pleasant experience. The price is a bit high for a guesthouse, but if you want to stay near the station in Wakkanai, this guesthouse is a good choice.

I stayed here with No Meals Included before a mountain climbing trip and had a very comfortable experience. Despite arriving late at night and leaving early in the morning, the high level of hospitality and cozy atmosphere made for a highly satisfying stay.

Overall, it was a clean Hotel, and a very pleasant scent greeted us as soon as we entered.\nOur Room was on the second floor, and since there is only stair access, it may be difficult for some guests.\nAlso, some people might have trouble finding the parking area, so I recommend checking Google Maps in advance.\nThe parking lot is behind the Hotel, in front of a temple cemetery. The road is narrow, so please be careful.\nThere is a smoking area just before the entrance from the parking lot to the front desk. If you dislike cigarette smoke, you may find this unpleasant.

Stayed for one night over the weekend during the Tour de Okinawa. Since the race starts early Sunday morning, I was looking for accommodation close to Yona, a cheering spot, and found this place. It was so great that I'm considering staying here again next year. The free rental electric assist bicycle (MTB) provided by the accommodation was incredibly useful! After checking in at 3 PM, I scouted out cheering spots and enjoyed riding through Kijoka where the accommodation is located, along Route 58 by the sea towards Kunigami and Ogimi Village. There was a kettle available for borrowing, but I didn't notice it and used the hot/cold water dispenser in the shared space instead. However, there were no mugs in my room—only paper cups from the dispenser—which made it slightly inconvenient. The room was minimalistic and simple but had plenty of power outlets and strong WiFi connectivity, so there were no inconveniences at all. At night, I went out to enjoy stargazing under a quiet sky full of stars on an open field. There were many shooting stars visible. Some lighting adjustments had been made to reduce "light pollution," which I appreciated; however, it could be even darker for better stargazing. I felt that this peaceful natural environment with sounds of insects chirping or birds singing created a relaxing atmosphere while reflecting an eco-friendly policy. However, there's one point I'd like to suggest improving: In an adjacent gallery workshop area nearby where someone young worked solo without headphones playing music quite loudly—it slightly leaked into buildings containing rooms (though once inside my room itself remained quiet). Considering diverse musical tastes nowadays plus how fewer universally loved songs exist across society today compared against past decades alongside growing trends ignoring headphone etiquette altogether publicly broadcasting tunes instead—this being both accommodations' location & guests seeking tranquil nature surroundings perhaps future consideration addressing such matters might enhance experiences further overall? Lastly regarding bedding warmth levels thin futons felt somewhat chilly potentially needing improvement too meanwhile directional clarity surrounding convenience store access ("10 minutes drive" vague north/south?) gas stations absent locally likewise clearer maps highlighting unique regional attractions helpful supplementing mascots/lamp-shade creator details already present within guest guides themselves? Staff interactions friendly approachable throughout stay much appreciated!

A unique vacation rental featuring a one-room apartment with a private bathroom on the upper floor provided an enjoyable stay. Check-in is self-service, using a code sent in advance to open the key box. The second floor includes a bed, mini kitchenette, and toilet, while the third floor offers the same space but features a shower, bathtub, and sauna—an unusual layout. The third-floor bathroom experience felt more enjoyable than spending time in the second-floor room. The kitchenette on the second floor mainly consists of running water; cooking is not possible. Optional items like an induction heater were casually placed under shelves. Unfortunately, there was no kettle or mugs available for warm coffee during wintertime. However, there was a wine cellar-style refrigerator with plastic glasses stored inside—perfect for enjoying a drink after bathing. Quirky furniture placement like an oddly positioned sofa and slightly small double bed added charm to this fun accommodation experience. Lastly, neighboring creative individuals (including some foreigners) were noisy outside until 3 AM; though I considered calling the police due to their disturbance, my partner slept soundly through it all while I endured sleeplessness. As an aside: there's what appears to be a FamilyMart nearby but turns out it's actually a 7-Eleven (open from 7 AM to 11 PM), so take note!
