Nationwide × Highly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan - 736Page Number

Suitable for business trips, it offers basic amenities that are sufficient. The property is new, clean, and highly recommended for women.

It was a last-minute reservation the day before, but I had a relaxing stay. I was more than satisfied for the price!

The hotel staff are friendly, the environment is comfortable, and the location is convenient for shopping.

When I made a same-day accommodation reservation and set the check-in time for 11:00 PM, I called as I was likely to be about an hour late, and the response was excellent. Additionally, since my check-in was late, they extended the usual check-out time by an hour (check-out at 11:00 AM), allowing me to relax. I feel like I might stay here again next time. I also used APA Hotel during a business trip to Toyama, and they provided similar service. The room I stayed in seemed to be a corner room, and since the toilet/bathroom door opened to the left, it might have been easier if it opened to the right.

No unnecessary services—simple, clean, and comfortable. The staff are kind and very pleasant. Excellent value, especially at this price during cherry blossom season.

We stayed here for a ski trip. The Facility itself is old, but it is well cleaned for its age, and the Room was comfortable with no unpleasant odors. We appreciated the complimentary coffee, black tea, and green tea. The Ryokan staff were very friendly, while keeping a respectful distance without being intrusive, which made us feel very at ease. The only downside was that the bath temperature was a bit low at 40°C. There isn’t any excessive service, but the thoughtful amenities you’d be happy to have are naturally provided—overall, it’s a very comfortable Ryokan. We would definitely like to stay again next season.

We really enjoyed a variety of fish and left feeling completely satisfied. Breakfast was refreshing, with a menu that was a little different from other Accommodations. The Onsen can be reserved for private use, so we were able to relax and really enjoyed it.

I stayed again last week. I was planning to ski in Appi, but I gave up on Saturday because of the rain, and on Sunday the lifts stopped operating at 11:00 due to strong winds. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great. In that sense it was disappointing, but there’s nothing you can do about the weather… Still, Step’s meals are consistently great value for money. I especially love the soups. The turnip soup from a few weeks ago was excellent, and I think it was porcini mushroom soup? The mushroom soup was delicious too. The grilled chicken is also very good. A woman who stayed for the first time last week was impressed as well and said it was delicious. She seems to have become a big fan—“the only choice in Appi!” Even if some of the Facility feels a bit old, that’s part of its charm. The bath temperature might be a little low at times? It feels just right for women. If you like it really hot, it might not be enough. That’s about all if you look closely. I’m satisfied. I’ll stay again.

I chose this Hotel because I was on a business trip and needed to stay within a tight budget. I’m not sure if it was due to the season, but around Gotemba Station there were only a few Hotels that fit my budget, including this one. The building itself felt a bit old, but the room was very clean. One thing to note is that the Hotel apparently doesn’t have an elevator, so if you’re assigned a room on the 3rd floor and have heavy luggage, it could be tough. The room had amenities like a razor and toothbrush, and it also came with an air purifier and hair dryer—convenient features you’d expect from a Business Hotel. There also seemed to be water dispensers on each floor, which was very handy when I wanted drinking water. Also, the shampoo and body soap were “tea” versions (tea shampoo? tea body soap?), which felt like a nice touch given that this is a tea-producing area. It didn’t seem strongly scented like tea, so if you’re curious, it might be worth trying.

The exterior was a unique and intriguing structure that didn’t look like an accommodation, but once inside, it was a very clean and relaxing space. The contrast gave it a special charm that made me excited. We stayed as a pair, but I think it would be fun to stay with 4-5 people for a lively experience. I’d love to stay here again!

The room has a traditional style, but the tatami room was surprisingly comfortable to stay in.

I may have different standards as a former backpacker, but the tatami was clean, and the meals were hearty home-style cooking that left me completely full. The rural atmosphere of Ichinomiya was very relaxing. The large public bath had a big tub, so I could stretch out and enjoy it—great overall. I think the owner is of Korean descent. There is no one at the front desk—go look for someone! The Accommodation itself, including the lobby, is quite old. The Room has been renovated while keeping a nice Showa-era vibe, so if you’re not looking for perfection, I don’t think it will be an issue. There is no tea set in the Room. No amenities either—bring your own. In front of the public bath, there are various towels that have been washed and folded, free to use. I was glad they didn’t smell like fabric softener. If you expect Hotel or Ryokan-style service, you might get frustrated. But I actually enjoyed how “what’s normal” isn’t necessarily normal here—it felt like traveling in Asia in a refreshing way. I’d love to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you for taking care of me!

I brought my bicycle to participate in a cycling event. I was relieved to hear that after wiping the tires, it was okay to place it either in the Room or at the entrance. There was a strict rule against bringing your own drinks during meals, but it was allowed after finishing, so I managed. Although I couldn't have breakfast due to time constraints, they kindly provided rice balls the day before. Much appreciated! It's not a place I visit often, but I feel like I've discovered a hidden gem through this cycling event.

Stayed for one night on 2/23-24. The children were excited by the snowy scenery, which is different from Tokyo. The meals were delicious, and we could see fireworks from the Room, making it a wonderful memory. I couldn't use the large public bath because of my tattoo. There is also a bath in the Room, so it was not a problem. There was no razor among the amenities, so I took one from the large public bath. The futon was thin and uncomfortable for those who usually sleep in beds. The biggest issue was that many cars couldn't climb up the icy slope at the entrance of the parking lot even with snow tires; ours was one of them. If that area had been cleared of snow, there would have been no complaints. Since my children want to visit again, we will continue to use this place in the future.
