It’s a wonderful Hotel. The cleaning was thorough, and the breakfast was delicious. There are plenty of shopping options nearby, and we were able to relax in a lovely Room. All the front desk staff were very kind—almost to the point of making us feel undeserving. We will visit again.

I stayed here because I had a concert at Gorilla Hall Osaka. It was in a convenient location and easy to reach from the station without getting lost. The Hotel was clean overall, but there was one disappointing thing... The TV remote control was so dirty that I hesitated to touch it, and that was the only downside. The free massage chairs were perfect for relaxing my tired legs and lower back after the concert. I also appreciated the free breakfast. I will stay here again when there is another concert at Gorilla Hall Osaka. I rated my satisfaction as 4, hoping for improvement with the remote control. Thank you.

Upon arrival, we were promptly shown to a sofa in the airy, open-atrium lobby and checked in while being served a chilled hand towel and tea. Like the guest room with its wooden floors and white walls, the entire property features a simple, calming interior throughout—an inviting space to truly unwind. Above all, the dining was outstanding. The ingredient-focused Italian cuisine far exceeded expectations and was genuinely authentic. The full-service Western-style breakfast was also thoroughly satisfying. Thanks to the staff’s warm hospitality and high level of professionalism, it was a wonderful stay. The round trip took two full days just for travel, but it was absolutely worth making the journey.

I would like to stay again. This is an accommodation I would recommend to my friends. It was very relaxing.

This was my first time visiting Zao Onsen. After considering several Onsen Accommodations, I chose a smaller Accommodation where I could truly relax. As I headed from Kaminoyama toward Zao, the temperature dropped, and after riding my motorcycle in the intense heat, the cool breeze felt wonderful. The Accommodation is an older building, but it was filled with many charming decorations that made me feel warm inside. The indoor Onsen was artificial, but it was pleasant and available 24 hours a day. Outside, in a separate building, there was a free-flowing hot spring bath fed directly from the source; it was strongly acidic and at a comfortable temperature, making it very enjoyable. Dinner dishes were all carefully prepared and included many local specialties from Yamagata Prefecture. It was great that each dish came with an explanation when served. The steamed dish in particular was outstanding. Breakfast also offered a wide variety of items, and I was very satisfied. All of the staff were kind and greeted us properly—I could really feel their hospitality. This is an Accommodation I would like to visit again.

The breathtaking ocean view stretching out beyond the large windows was truly spectacular—it felt like being abroad in an amazing location! We brought together delicious ingredients purchased nearby and enjoyed a lively, fun dinner with our family of five and our dog. Both the kids and our dog were thrilled, and we were completely satisfied. All of the staff were very kind and helpful, and we truly appreciate it. Thank you!

I stayed for two nights. It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but I was satisfied with the value for money, Facility, and service. The breakfast buffet was also great, and I was happy they had curry. The Room has only a toilet and the showers are shared, which is an unusual setup, but it wasn’t a problem.

The Room was much more spacious than I expected, and the amenities were well stocked. The morning coffee service and easy microwave snacks were also great. The only thing I noticed—just a minor detail—was that when you enter and open the door, the entry step area extends to the right, which made it hard to take off shoes and close the door (my shoes could get caught in the door). If that space extended a bit more to the left instead of the right, it might be easier to come and go, so I rated the Facility 4. That said, everything was very comfortable, starting with the front desk staff’s service. The Room was truly spacious with a sofa and very clean. Going out into Otaru and returning to the Accommodation also felt easier and more casual than at a typical large Hotel. If I have another chance, I would definitely like to stay again.

Kannai was new and very clean, and I was satisfied. Excellent value for money. It was also very convenient to be able to check in right after exiting the ticket gates.

We usually travel as a couple a few times a year, mainly to Hakone, but this time we stayed one night at “Rinpo Kiryū” for our first family trip, including several celebrations. We have had the chance to visit many Accommodations, but we have never encountered one as wonderful as this—everything from start to finish was truly moving. We arrived about an hour before check-in time, yet we were warmly welcomed without hesitation. From the lovely commemorative photos for our celebration to the heartfelt message card with a photo, we were touched by the surprise hospitality and thoughtful care. We are genuinely grateful to have made so many unforgettable memories for our family trip. Thank you very much. Above all, what deserves special mention is the exceptional hospitality of the staff. From greeting us on arrival to seeing us off at the end, every moment was outstanding, and we were able to spend a truly relaxing time. Our assigned staff member was incredibly kind and always smiling; we enjoyed chatting with them, and our whole family was impressed by their attentive care down to the smallest details. The guidance around the property—like a paradise far removed from everyday life—was also thorough and considerate, and everyone we met greeted us with warm smiles that put us at ease. The Room was very spacious and kept beautifully clean. The bed was also ideal for us—comfortable without sinking in or feeling overly soft. (My wife is quite particular about beds and rarely says this at other Accommodations; I was surprised when she said she wanted to stay another night and didn’t want to go home yet.) During our stay, there was a private open-air Onsen bath exclusively for our Room with free-flowing water from 100% natural source spring water—no added water or heating—from the rare Dogashima Onsen source said to be “legendary,” so we could enjoy an Onsen soak anytime we liked. In addition, there is an indoor hinoki Onsen bath, a private sauna, and even a pool, which allowed our family to enjoy many different experiences together. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious; each dish was beautifully presented with great care and full of creative ideas from the chef. There were also many staff members on hand—the service felt perfect. In my experience so far, it’s rare to find an Accommodation where service is this attentive in every respect. More than anything else, being able to stay at “Rinpo Kiryū” became a wonderful experience for our family. Thank you again very much. We would love to visit again.

After moving from Yokohama to the Kansai area, we were looking for an Accommodation nearby that offers delicious French cuisine and allows for a relaxed one-night stay. In Yokohama, there were several great places in Hakone—about a 90-minute drive away—serving excellent French or Italian food, but for our anniversary we found and decided to try this place on Awaji Island through IKYU. For dinner, we enjoyed beautifully presented and delicious French dishes made with locally sourced seafood, meat, and vegetables from Awaji Island. As I’ve gotten older, the smell of Wagyu fat has become a bit heavy for me, so I asked if another meat could be substituted. They kindly changed it from Awaji beef to roasted lamb loin, which was excellent. From check-in onward we received pleasant service, and at dinner as well their thoughtful yet unobtrusive attention allowed us to enjoy the meal comfortably—we truly appreciated it. Breakfast was also a wonderful surprise: not a buffet, but served in a full-course style. The Hotel faces the road leading to “Ningen no Mori,” but it sits on a small hill; on the other side is forest. From our Room we could see the trees—it was quiet and very relaxing. The Room feels spacious thanks to its high ceiling despite its size. The property consists of three buildings with only a small number of Rooms in each one, so even though the lounge area is not large, it remained calm. We were able to enjoy wine at ease. Perfect for a short getaway. We also heard that venison is served in winter, so we would love to visit again during that season.

I have stayed here before and returned again after a while. This time, I was delighted to find that a new private sauna had been added. It was great to be able to use it freely at my preferred time without worrying about others, and I enjoyed it many times during my stay. The sofa had also been replaced, and as a repeat guest, I was happy to see not only new facilities being added but also careful maintenance and gradual improvements being made. The room was clean, the facilities and amenities were well stocked, and I had another comfortable stay. My dog also relaxed and enjoyed the dog run, so both owner and pet were very satisfied. I would definitely like to stay again.

This is a truly wonderful Accommodation. It is located in a valley beyond a ridge from Kurokawa Onsen, reached by a narrow road that feels like a forest track. Crossing the ridge makes you feel as if you are entering a different world from Kurokawa. It is quiet— the small lobby, the corridors, the dining area, and even the baths. The Room is beautifully set, with furnishings and artwork on the walls that enhance the atmosphere. For meals, there are separate head chefs for Japanese and Western cuisine. Using local ingredients, everything was carefully seasoned and served in just the right portions. There is a café lounge where you can step out onto an outdoor terrace and enjoy coffee while taking in dew-covered greenery in the morning. With calm, attentive service as well, we enjoyed an atmosphere quite different from Kurokawa Onsen.

Both the front desk and restaurant staff are very attentive. I have stayed here several times. I would like to stay again.

Our family of five (four adults and our third son, 1 year and 9 months old) stayed here. We had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, but the weather on the day was terrible—so bad we were caught in a sudden torrential downpour. The heavy rain made visibility poor on the way to the Facility, and it was still pouring at check-in, but thanks to the staff’s kind and careful guidance, we were able to get into our dome tent safely. Unfortunately, the bonfire event planned at the center was canceled, but that couldn’t be helped given the weather. Even so, the Facility offered a rainy-day-only service of lending a projector free of charge (normally 1,000 yen). Thanks to that thoughtful gesture, our kids never got bored and we were able to enjoy glamping in a way that only a rainy day can offer. By the time we headed to the large public bathhouse, the rain had stopped for a while and there were few other guests. The men’s bath (with our kids) and women’s bath (for my wife) each felt like private use. We could relax without worrying about anyone else—and for our 1-year-9-month-old son it was his very first large public bath. Seeing him enjoy it without being scared put smiles on all of our faces. Even at night the weather remained unsettled—rain on and off with occasional thunder—but we couldn’t give up on seeing the stars. After putting our youngest to sleep, we took it easy with coffee. When I stepped outside around 3:00 a.m., all the clouds had cleared away, revealing an unbelievably beautiful sky full of stars. Countless stars shone brightly—far more than you could ever see in town—and I felt staying up late was truly worth it. On another note, perhaps because of the heavy rain, a few millipedes found their way into our house tent area and our older two boys made quite a fuss in the middle of night (laughs). We ended up slightly sleep-deprived, but now it has become one more funny family story—something that comes with being surrounded by nature. In the morning we woke up to birdsong. The fresh air made for an incredibly pleasant start to day—a luxurious moment you can’t experience in everyday life. The previous day’s bonfire had been canceled as an event, but they kindly arranged for each house area to enjoy one until 8:30 a.m. next morning instead. Watching fire while drinking coffee and reading was exactly what I’d hoped for. We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast together as family on deck in front of house area; meals eaten in nature are something special every time—and everything was delicious. Even after returning home,we kept talking about how much we'd love come back again."

The moment I stepped into the inn, a wonderful fragrance greeted me and I felt excited right away. With large windows and plenty of greenery, it’s a lovely space. The room was very clean, and because there are no partitions, it felt even more spacious than expected. I have many dietary restrictions and there are items I can’t eat in kaiseki cuisine, but they were very accommodating, so I was able to enjoy everything deliciously until the end. I also enjoyed the hot springs many times, which helped melt away my daily fatigue. Thank you very much.

I visited Arima Onsen Koyokaku with my elderly mother on Respect for the Aged Day. The guest room felt a bit dated, but the Onsen and kaiseki cuisine were outstanding. All service throughout the Hotel was warm and impeccable, and the Shuttle Service driver was also very courteous. It was a truly satisfying trip, and I will definitely visit again.

We checked in after enjoying a full day of walking around the hot spring town, visiting Jigokudani, Oyunuma, and the footbaths in beautiful weather. The location of Dai-ichi Takimotokan is amazing—simply the best. Everything was great—the comfort inside the hotel, the fun souvenir shop, and the excellent breakfast and dinner buffets—but above all, the hot springs were truly spectacular! There are so many baths where you can enjoy five different types of spring water, spread across an enormous space about twice the size of a gymnasium. The ceilings are high, and one entire glass wall faces Jigokudani—so it feels like soaking in an onsen right in the valley you just explored, with nature all around you. It’s a one-of-a-kind hot spring experience unlike any other hotel; personally, I think it’s among the best in Japan. I hope everyone gets to enjoy both the view from the baths during bright daytime hours and these wonderful five types of spring water. We’ll be back next year!

As it was my first time staying here, I was a bit worried, but I had a very satisfying stay. The room was spacious, and the view from our 7th-floor room was excellent. The food was delicious, and the bath was large and very relaxing. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Matsumoto.

Just as the name “Wanwan Paradise” suggests, we were able to relax and have a wonderful time with our dog. There was a photo studio, and having a professional take our pictures gave us great memories. The room was thoroughly cleaned, and best of all, the food was delicious. The eel at dinner was especially tasty, and there was also beef—we left completely full. Breakfast also had a wide variety of side dishes, looked beautiful, and we were very satisfied.
