Just a 2-3 minute walk from Higashiyama Station, the location is excellent with a convenience store nearby, and the area is quiet. The accommodation cost was very affordable compared to other facilities. The facility was simple with only the bare essentials. There were no sleepwear provided, which was slightly inconvenient but acceptable for this price. It was common to see international guests smoking in front of the entrance.

The room was very cold... I had a multiple night stay, but the room was not cleaned. Furthermore, there was no linen exchange. I had to go to the front desk myself to receive new ones. It's a shame that the service doesn't match the great location...

There was a polite explanation from the foreign staff at the front desk. The entrance is narrow, making it a bit difficult to pass by other guests. The Room is very spacious and comfortable. I was very pleased to have an air purifier and a microwave. The downside was that the bath was very small, but the shower had good water pressure and was comfortable. Breakfast is a simple rice ball bento. I was happy that it came with tea. It's reasonably priced, and I would like to use it again.

The staff’s thoughtful hospitality, the dinner and breakfast, and the view from our Room were all wonderful, making this a truly memorable stay. The nostalgic Showa-era retro atmosphere throughout the building was also very impressive and gave us a comforting feeling, as if we were visiting my grandmother’s home. In particular, the simmered splendid alfonsino served at dinner was exquisite, and we were very satisfied with the wide variety of dishes. However, because everything was so delicious, there was more food than we could finish, which made us feel a bit sorry. If possible, having an option to reduce 2–3 items or cut back on heavier dishes such as hot pot dishes—while enhancing signature items like sashimi—would make the experience even more appealing. Housekeeping was thorough and we stayed comfortably, but we did notice some signs of age in parts of the Facility, so we hope repairs will continue little by little. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to use again.

Stayed at the cottage and had a comfortable stay! The value for money was excellent. It would be perfect if there were a smoking area further back in the cottage.

There was a review stating that the reception staff could not speak Japanese, but that was not the case—they were very proficient in Japanese. While most of the guests might be foreigners, Japanese guests can also stay here with peace of mind. However, regarding luggage, there is no key lock or similar security for the storage area, so it is recommended to take precautions against theft at your own responsibility.

The building itself is old, but I had a pleasant stay. I will use it again next time.

We had a spacious and comfortable stay as a couple. The baths were on a rotation system, allowing us to enjoy both types. The hot and lukewarm water options were thoughtful. It was disappointing that the evening bonfire we saw on the elevator poster was only available on Fridays and Saturdays. Unlike large hotels where you often face long buffet lines or wait for shower spaces in the bath area, this mid-sized Hotel felt just right. Being close to Shirahige Falls made for a lovely evening stroll. The shuttle service to Blue Pond seemed seasonal, but it would be great if there was an option for one-way transportation at least. The best time to visit Blue Pond is reportedly around midday when parking lots are extremely crowded; having one-way transport would save guests from walking back for over an hour after their visit.

Because reviews were so mixed, I entered the Hotel feeling a bit nervous. The parking was close, the Room amenities covered the basics, the bedding was fluffy, and the Room was clean. I can see that opinions may differ about the bath and toilet, but I had no issues. The unit bath was indeed small, so I used the showers in the public bath. I would like to stay here again when visiting Omuta. Thank you for your hospitality.

The building is old, and the rooms are not very spacious, but the interior is clean and sufficient for a comfortable stay. Guests can use the large public bath at the neighboring Yurari facility. The pool is also available, so bringing swimwear could be a good idea. For dining, famous restaurants like Toyotsune and Ichiriki are located nearby. For Multiple Night Stays, cleaning service is provided every three days; however, towel replacement is available upon request. As a tip, you can access the neighboring public bath in loungewear provided by the Hotel. Since the Hotel slippers are thin, it might be helpful to bring your own from a 100-yen shop. The loungewear is well-made and warm enough even during winter. Parking is available at a paid parking lot right next to the Hotel for 600 yen per night. Please note that fees apply each time you enter or exit. The location of the Hotel may be slightly difficult to find; using Yakiniku Ichiriki as a landmark could help guide you there easily.

The Room is small, but I was able to stay without any issues. It’s conveniently located near the station. I would have liked a cup provided for drinking beverages.

As the stay approached, I checked the reviews and found many negative ones, making me feel nervous and uneasy until arriving at the accommodation. I stayed during the year-end holidays, but other review sites mentioned that by late November, a pump failure had caused the large public bath to be unavailable, and guests were shuttled to another accommodation. This made me anxious, so I contacted the accommodation a day before my stay. They assured me that it was no longer broken, but I still felt uneasy... In the end, I was pleasantly surprised in a good way! I chose a room with an open-air bath. While it's true that the room itself is old, the open-air bath was spacious and absolutely fantastic! The private baths also offered beautiful views of Mount Yufu, and contrary to some negative reviews about water temperature issues in both private baths and public baths, everything was at just the right temperature. The staff seemed genuinely dedicated to improving their services; their efforts were evident. During meals, there were plenty of staff members available who promptly responded to requests like refills—making dining very pleasant. Thank you for allowing us to have such a comfortable stay!

Thank you for taking care of us for two nights and three days. We were very satisfied with the bath and the meals. Also, the stargazing was amazing—we were moved to see a sky full of stars that you can’t see in the city. If we had to mention one thing, it was quite hot, so we would have liked air conditioning. A blower and a fan were not enough. Also, the filter on the back of the blower was clogged with dust, so we cleaned it. Aside from these two points, it was a satisfying Hotel. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. The kaiseki dinner, in particular, truly moved me—it was the most delicious I have had in years. Each dish was carefully prepared, and both the flavors and presentation were outstanding. I would highly recommend it to everyone. My sincere thanks to the head chef for preparing such an exceptional meal. The Onsen was also lovely, with a great atmosphere, and I was able to relax and unwind. However, I was a little disappointed that the women’s bathing hours were only from 17:00 to 20:00. I would have been even happier if it had been available for longer. The Room was clean and comfortable, and overall it felt like a calm, private space that I really enjoyed. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

The room was of good quality for the price.

A good accommodation for people to stay. However, for dogs, it lacked features such as a well-maintained dog run, beds at a height easy for pets to get on and off or with stairs/sofas, and exterior designs with pet illustrations. It fell short as an accommodation specialized for dogs.

This was my first time staying here, and I found it to be a sufficient environment for just sleeping. I would love to stay here again when I visit Osaka!

When we went out for drinks in the evening, we asked for directions to Yobuko for the next day. Even though we came back late, you kindly came out from the back and carefully explained how to get to the Yobuko Morning Market. Thanks to you, we arrived early the next day without getting lost and were able to enjoy sightseeing. Thank you very much for your help—please let us stay again when we visit Ureshino! I wanted to thank you in person in the morning, but you weren’t there.

We were able to relax and unwind at a leisurely pace. Dinner was just as rumored and absolutely delicious. Thank you very much.

I stayed in a smoking Room and appreciated being able to ventilate thoroughly through the window. I liked the charm of the old building, which felt relaxing. The atmosphere in the lobby is also nice.
