We stayed for one night on a Kyoto trip while it was still quite hot, also to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was our first visit to Sumiyasan in more than ten years, and we were welcomed with genuine warmth. The renovated room was spacious, and the bath was wonderfully relaxing—so we were able to take a soak soon after arriving and unwind. Every dish was outstanding and beautifully presented; we truly enjoyed the meal. By chance, on the day we stayed there was a tea gathering, and we were even treated to tea. This is an inn we would love to stay at again.

We truly felt your wonderful service and hospitality throughout our stay. The location, the meals, the baths, and all of the staff were genuinely excellent. You even prepared kaiseki cuisine for our 9-year-old son and accommodated a change to our breakfast time. Both the dinner kaiseki and breakfast were absolutely delicious, and it was clear how much care and effort went into them.

I am an Onsen enthusiast who stays over 80 nights a year, mainly in Izu. I have stayed at Kameya Keian more than 30 nights in the past, and this year I stayed for 4 nights. The cuisine was artistic in presentation, and the flavor—especially the richness of the dashi—was something no other Hotel or Ryokan can match; it was absolutely outstanding. The Onsen water quality is excellent, as expected of the historic Izunagaoka Onsen, making this a top-rated Onsen Ryokan. I will visit again.

We were completely satisfied with both the Room and the meals. The meal for our dog was also a feast, making this a truly happy trip. We would definitely love to stay again.

The meals featured plenty of fresh fish and spiny lobster, and everything was delicious—I left completely full. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view over Tachibana Bay. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

I recommend choosing an ocean-side room. I was able to relax and take my time while enjoying the view of Amanohashidate. What disappointed me was dinner. I should have looked more closely at the photos when booking, but the kaiseki course (with an additional charge) included no meat dishes at all and no grilled items. The food itself was delicious, but I still would have liked at least one such dish. I’d seen posts on social media showing meat grilled on a hot stone, so if you want a meat dish, the standard chef’s choice course might be a better option.

I was satisfied with everything. The dishes made with olive oil were delicious, and the room with a view of the calm sea was wonderful. Shodoshima is famous for its stone, and it is used generously throughout the island. It doesn’t feel cold; instead, it feels warm and comforting. The staff greeted us with smiles, and it was an inn that made us think, even before checkout, “We want to come back.”

Surrounded by magnificent nature, with breathtaking sunsets and a sky full of stars, I was able to forget everyday life and feel truly refreshed. The hot spring and sauna were outstanding, and the meals were delicious—I was completely satisfied. If you dislike insects, please be aware, but it didn’t bother me at all; I had an exceptional stay.

I never expected to find such an exceptionally refined Ryokan in the quiet seaside town of Esashi. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of quality in the air, and the staff’s attentive, warm hospitality gently eases away any travel fatigue. The cuisine fully showcases the blessings of Esashi’s sea and land, with care and artistry evident in every dish. The seafood freshness, in particular, is outstanding—I truly felt the authentic flavor you can only experience by eating it here in Hokkaido. Overall, Ryotei Gunrai is an Accommodation so complete that the stay itself feels like a work of art. I’ve visited many Accommodations across Hokkaido, but personally I consider this my No. 1 Ryokan in Hokkaido. This was my second stay, and it confirmed it. The tranquility, cuisine, and service are all harmonized at a remarkably high level—an extraordinary place that makes you certain you’ll want to return again.

I stayed for one night on March 29. I chose March because it was just before the spiny lobster fishing ban. This time I booked a luxurious spa Plan, so it was pricey, but it was absolutely worth the cost. The cuisine, spa, Onsen, Room Facilities, and service were all top-tier. As expected from HIRAMATSU, every dish was delicious. The dish made with the spiny lobster head felt a bit heavy for me, but everything else was perfect. The spiny lobster bisque at breakfast was outstanding. The bread and butter at both dinner and breakfast were also excellent. The spa was wonderful—comparable to the Mandarin Hotel’s spa. The Onsen and Room Facilities were also superb; there is nothing to complain about. Service from the manager, head chef, staff, and spa team was flawless. I’d like to return next year during abalone season. I recommend avoiding weekends at the end of March. That’s when F1 Japanese Grand Prix qualifying and the race are held at Suzuka, so Nagoya Station gets extremely crowded and nearby roads are heavily congested. On top of that, Ise Jingu Naiku Shrine was also packed due to a yokozuna dedication sumo event—but I consider it a good experience overall.

My wife and I stayed here together. All of the staff were very kind, and we had a truly pleasant stay—thank you. The entire building is over 200 years old, full of character, and has a calm atmosphere. It has been renovated well overall, but we found the layout a little difficult to navigate. Why was the washbasin separated from the bathroom? Also, the placement of items in the changing area felt odd. When using the hair dryer, it took us quite a while to find an outlet. These were our only two concerns; otherwise, we were very comfortable throughout our stay. The food here is genuinely delicious—simple dishes that bring out the best in each ingredient. This is an inn we definitely want to visit again!

As soon as we passed through Hyakurakuso’s gate, a staff member came out to greet us with a warm, welcoming smile. I had been wanting to visit this ryokan for its cave bath for a long time, and I was finally able to make it. The bath we had been looking forward to was wonderful, and the meals were also outstanding—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. What made us especially glad we stayed here was the genuine care and attentiveness of the staff. We were able to enjoy a relaxing, unhurried time away from everyday life.\nWe would love to visit again.

From the moment I arrive, I’m always deeply moved by the warm hospitality of being greeted by name. Check-in is extremely smooth, and I always love the guidance to my room and the kind, welcoming service from the bell staff. My requests made in advance were fully accommodated, and everything about the room setup and housekeeping was flawless down to every detail, allowing me to stay comfortable throughout my visit. I’m always grateful to the housekeeping team. The spa reception staff also provided wonderful service, and the concierge team’s quick and polished support was a great help. The limited-time Shine Muscat roll cake I had at the pastry shop “Sweets & Deli” was exceptional and became a delicious memory that stayed with me. I also enjoyed spending time at the lobby lounge and would definitely like to return again. Everything is truly perfect—this is a wonderful hotel that leaves me completely satisfied from the bottom of my heart. I would confidently recommend it to my loved ones, and I will definitely stay here again.

The in-room bath is available anytime, spacious, and perfect for relaxing. Lately I may have been using only this private bath... The room itself is also large—absolutely wonderful! Above all, the cuisine at this ryokan is beautifully presented and tastes amazing. I was lucky to even get to try ayu sashimi. Meals are served in a private dining room, so you can enjoy your time without worrying about others. Once again, I left completely full. Breakfast also offers so many side dishes that it’s hard to decide what to start with. This is truly my favorite ryokan—no doubt about it. I’d love to come back again.

I stayed here last year and was very satisfied, so I chose this Hotel again this year. Above all, the highlight is the wide variety of food. Everything was delicious, and I ended up going back for seconds many times. The pork shabu-shabu served in a small hot pot was especially outstanding, and I loved that you can shabu-shabu not only pork but also seafood. With several broth options to choose from, I could enjoy it exactly the way I like. In addition, there were sushi and sashimi, Tokushima ramen, freshly fried tempura, and a great selection of other dishes such as crispy lotus root and sweet potato chips—so much variety that I enjoyed every bite without getting bored until the very end. At the large public bath, bath towels and face towels were provided in the lobby area, so it was very comfortable to be able to use fresh towels each time. There was also complimentary ice cream after bathing, which felt like a thoughtful touch. The night view from my Room was also wonderful—the sparkling city lights were truly beautiful and made for an unforgettable moment. I was completely satisfied with everything—food, baths, service, and views—and it’s a fantastic Hotel that makes me want to come back again.

My wife, daughter, and I stayed here together. First of all, the staff service was outstanding. From the team member who picked us up from the parking lot, to the one who escorted us to our room, to the person in charge of our meals—and even those we passed in the hallway—everyone had such warm smiles and made us feel truly welcome. The moment we entered our room, it felt impeccably clean (it even had an AirDog air purifier!). The large windows made it bright and open, the amenities were plentiful, and both the bed and futon were so comfortable that we slept soundly. The in-house guide on the provided iPad was also extremely convenient. We enjoyed our meals in a building with 100 years of history. Being able to dine in such a historic setting alone felt like a special experience. As for the food itself—I’m no gourmet—but it was simply delicious. You could really sense the chef’s attention to detail, and every dish was beautiful as well as enjoyable to eat. At breakfast there was even a small Nambu ironware teapot used as a chopstick rest; I ended up buying one along with chopsticks as souvenirs. The bath temperature was perfect for me and very relaxing. Finally—and what impressed me most—was how every single staff member seemed united in their focus on making guests happy. I’ve experienced great service at many places, but there’s usually variation from person to person. Here, that inconsistency was almost nonexistent; nothing felt scripted—just genuinely natural hospitality. I would absolutely love to stay again next time.

From the moment you step through the entrance, you can immerse yourself in the world of Ryoma Sakamoto. Within a modern, sophisticated design, there are countless subtle messages that those in the know will recognize, making it fun to explore like solving a mystery. What stands out most is the cuisine. Every detail feels intentional—why these ingredients, prepared this way, finished with these flavors, plated on this dishware, and served in this order—and you can truly sense a clear concept throughout. More than simply enjoying delicious food, I felt I was experiencing an extraordinary world, and it moved me deeply. The selection of books is also excellent. In addition to many Ryoma-related titles, there were plenty of thoughtfully chosen staff recommendations that were especially rewarding to read, enjoyed alongside complimentary delicious drinks. This was my first time staying at an accommodation that offers books by Professor Shizuka Shirakawa.

We traveled with our dog. We’ve traveled to many places with our dog, and the meals here were by far the best. The portions were generous, and it’s a real shame we couldn’t finish everything. Having the meals served in our room was also a great choice. The building feels a bit old, but it was very clean and well maintained, and we really enjoyed using the large public bath. Our dog seemed to love the tatami mats and was more relaxed than ever before. All of the staff were cheerful, energetic, and very kind. We would definitely like to stay here again.

This was my first stay here. From the atmosphere throughout the Accommodation to the service, thoughtful hospitality, and meals—everything was flawless in sight, aroma, and taste. It was a truly delicious and enjoyable time. The Onsen is compact, but the water quality is excellent and left my skin silky smooth. I’m grateful to have found an Accommodation I’ll definitely return to. Thank you very much.

Depending on the time of day, there were many people and the washing area was full. Also, the bath water was a bit hot. We only had breakfast, but it was delicious and offered a wide variety, which was great. The futon was comfortable to sleep on, but it would have been even better if there were more pillow options.
