The Facility was relatively compact and convenient for dining, driving, and everything else. The Room was clean and well-maintained. Perhaps because it was a relatively quiet period in October, the bathhouse was also empty, allowing for a comfortable experience. I wondered if it would be cramped during summer vacation. Even though it's called a large bathhouse, it's not that large. Dinner was very delicious. Breakfast was a buffet, and while it was a bit disappointing, considering the price, it was perfectly fine. All the staff members were very nice. It was my first time in Amami, and I was surprised by the mountains more than I imagined, but only the Hotel gave me a sense of the tropics. It was nice being close to the airport. There was also a convenience store-like place nearby, so I don't think you'll have any trouble. The souvenir shop inside the Hotel wasn't more expensive than others, so I could purchase with peace of mind.

Finding a Hotel when traveling with a dog can be quite difficult, but Shikisou was very dog-friendly and comfortable to stay at. We booked two Rooms, and it was very easy to go back and forth between them, which made our stay even better. We were surprised by how much food was served—more than we expected. Everything was delicious. As for the bath, which we were also looking forward to, it was taken over by day-use visitors, and we were met with some complaints. We went to bathe around 9:00 p.m., and I assume they were locals. Even though we wanted to relax in the Onsen after a long trip, it felt uncomfortable, so we ended up leaving early. That is the only reason for the lower rating.

Needless to say, the food was outstanding, and although it differed from our previous visit, it was excellent. After serving the dishes, they did not interrupt unnecessarily, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. Just like last time, the proprietress and staff were cheerful and full of energy, which made us feel very comfortable. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to visit again.

Stayed on a weekday before the Obon holiday in August with the most affordable plan for 4 people. Despite some initial concerns, it was excellent value for money and an incredibly satisfying stay. The room was about 12 tatami mats in size, with a spacious hallway entrance and a wide sitting area by the window overlooking trees, comfortably seating four people. The bathroom had two sinks, and while there was a toilet in the room, there were also toilets located throughout the hallways and other areas. The bath was spacious with slightly sulfur-scented Onsen water that left my skin feeling smooth. Meals were served at tables in a large tatami-floored dining area. There was a menu provided along with explanations from staff members. While not extravagant, the dishes were creative and deliciously satisfying. For those wanting more luxurious options like beef or crab dishes, upgrading to another plan might be better suited. Tea and water were self-serve but made using tea leaves rather than tea bags, which made it taste better; even the water itself tasted great! After check-in, our luggage was carried to our room by staff who were kind and attentive throughout our stay. The building itself is impressive yet simple in design—clean with quick elevator access—and we enjoyed relaxing without any crowds at the baths or elsewhere around the Ryokan grounds. The road leading to this Ryokan wasn’t narrow either! One thing to note: they provide yukata robes but only one Onsen towel besides bath towels; so bringing your own pajamas or face towels might be helpful (especially if you find sleeping in yukata uncomfortable like I do). Would love to visit again!

Stayed at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly and provided attentive service. The room was clean and comfortable. Meals were delicious and served in a semi-private dining area. The open-air bath had excellent water quality. I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

I stayed here during the Obon holidays and truly had a wonderfully relaxing time. Not only were the hearty, delicious dinner and breakfast excellent, but the rooftop views were stunning both morning and night, and the Onsen was incredibly soothing. All of the staff were very kind, and I could really feel the Ryokan’s thoughtful hospitality. I would love to stay again. Thank you for an amazing holiday!

I was looking for a room with an open-air bath through online reservations, and among the many options I reviewed, this accommodation stood out as particularly appealing. This was my first time using your service. The online reservation process was smooth. Although the front desk was closed on the day of my stay due to it being a holiday for the ryokan, prior email communication allowed me to inquire and receive polite responses. While I felt that quicker response times would have been even better, I truly appreciated the courteous support. Upon arrival at the accommodation, it exceeded my expectations based on the images I had seen. The room had already been pre-cooled with air conditioning to ensure comfort upon entry. The ambiance of the room was excellent, and attention to detail in its design stood out. The bathroom featured both a regular shower and a ceiling shower, while amenities like shampoo had pleasant fragrances. The provided loungewear for relaxing in-room had a nice texture against the skin. However, I found that using the sink area together with another person felt slightly cramped, and similarly, the toilet space felt a bit tight. The raised tatami area in our guestroom was superbly crafted. If I visit this area again or have friends looking for recommendations, I will definitely suggest this place—and would love to stay here myself once more. Thank you very much for your hospitality during this visit!

All the staff were very kind, and I had a truly relaxing stay! I was a bit nervous because the sand bath required same-day Reservation, but I was able to use it without any issues. It felt wonderful. The meals were excellent, and I’m glad I chose this Accommodation. There should have been several other guests staying, but it felt like I only ran into people occasionally. I’d love to come again.

This was the Accommodation we stayed at on the third day of our 3-night, 4-day trip to Niigata (Sado, Murakami Senami, and Niigata City). We were very pleased with the Shuttle Service, the staff’s hospitality, and the delicious dinner (the sashimi was especially fresh, and the salmon chanchan-yaki and ochazuke were outstanding). If I had to mention one thing, there were quite a few salty items at breakfast, so I think it would be fine to have fewer dishes. The bath was a little hot, but it left us feeling refreshed and invigorated afterward. It felt like a great value—an Accommodation where you can stay this comfortably even at an affordable price. We would love to stay here again if we have the chance.

We arrived early, but the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were very satisfied with the ocean view from the Room, the open-air bath, and the dinner featuring seafood and steak. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.

Takashima is known for its thriving tuna and tiger puffer fish farming, as well as its stunning natural scenery. Despite being just as accessible from Fukuoka as the popular tourist destination of Yobuko, it remains relatively undiscovered by tourists and retains its charm. While there are fewer restaurants specializing in live squid, you can enjoy fresh horse mackerel, tuna, tiger puffer fish, and other seafood dishes at very reasonable prices. Notably, tiger puffer fish here is available at half the price compared to areas like Kitakyushu, Shimonoseki, or Usuki. This establishment has a long history and some parts show their age; however, it's worth visiting before it becomes overly commercialized or expensive—definitely worth looking into!

I stayed alone in a cottage, and for this price, the Room, meals, and Onsen were all excellent. The kiln-baked dish was especially delicious. The staff were very kind, the Room was clean, and I was able to relax in nature. In the morning, it wasn’t a large bath but a smaller one; it was also clean and comfortable.

Although it was a No Meals Included stay, we had a very comfortable time. Thank you for your courteous and kind service.

I found this place while searching mainly for an Onsen, and since it also offers Accommodation at a reasonable price, I decided to visit. The Onsen was spacious and had a sauna, so I could relax. The entire Facility was kept very clean, and the staff were warm and welcoming—I was more than satisfied for the price. I don’t get to come to this area often, but I’ll stop by again next time.

Our stay coincided with the traditional event "Owatari" in Shinojima. At check-in, we were informed that there would be a time when the entire island turns off its lights to align with the gods' procession. For about 20 minutes during dinner, the lights went out, and we enjoyed our meal using the provided candlelight and our phone lights. Although it was surprising at first, it turned out to be a rare and enjoyable experience. As mentioned in reviews, the food was delicious, and the facility was impeccably clean. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.

The Hotel itself is not particularly new, but it was clean and pleasant. The staff were also kind, courteous, and welcoming. With only five Rooms, we rarely encountered other guests and were able to enjoy a quiet stay. The Onsen left our skin smooth and was very relaxing.

I stayed here after being captivated by the night-view photos of the Onsen. Since this was a family trip with small children, I wasn’t expecting a luxury Ryokan, but because it’s located where you can take in a sweeping view of Toyama City (and even across to Imizu City), I never got tired of the scenery—sunrise, sunset, and night. Honestly, this location is truly one of a kind and priceless; it was far better than staying at some mediocre high-end Ryokan. I’ll upload my clumsy photos, but in person it’s 10 or 20 times more impressive. On the way to the Onsen there is a corridor explaining the history of the Kureha Hills, and I could really feel how much care and affection the staff have for this place and for this Hotel. The Facility is certainly Showa-era in style, but that actually made me feel even more attached to it. I felt genuinely happy to have discovered—and stayed at—this kind of Hotel. I also want to mention the breakfast buffet. Above all, I was amazed at how delicious the rice was. That wonderful white rice with miso soup and grilled fish in the morning—along with sides like okra and vinegared dishes—was something I truly enjoyed. Depending on where you’re going, if you plan to visit Toyama City or nearby Imizu City or Takaoka City, this is definitely a great choice. My kids absolutely loved Kodomo Mirai-kan at Taikoyama Land, so we’ll probably go back to Toyama next year—and when we do, I definitely want to stay at this Hotel again. Thank you very much to all of your staff.

This was our second stay, and we visited as a couple. Once again we stayed in the WEST building (my favorite, with a stone sauna). It’s a private villa-style Accommodation with high walls, so you can relax without worrying about the surroundings. When we opened the door, even the long hallway was nicely heated and warm, and the living room was cozy too. And this time there were complimentary drinks in the fridge—Pocari Sweat, mineral water, Perrier, and more—which was a lovely added service! The new cold plunge pool had been filled with hot water this time, so we could soak slowly as if it were an open-air bath—it felt amazing. Part of it is deep enough to submerge up to your neck, so you do need to be careful, but it was a bath experience you don’t often find elsewhere. And another major new addition—the cave-like sauna we’d been looking forward to—lets you lie down inside; my sauna-loving husband was thrilled and said the tea löyly aroma was wonderful. This time we also booked an on-site private chef for the first time. Dinner started with appetizers and soup, followed by sea bream with perfectly crisped skin served with an orange butter sauce; the wagyu came with nori and a red wine sauce—everything tasted incredible. The strawberry mille-feuille dessert and fromage blanc ice cream were outstanding!! We were completely satisfied being able to savor such a luxurious course at our own pace. Breakfast was also very filling: a generously stuffed sandwich, two kinds of quiche, plus strawberries and yogurt—an excellent professional-quality meal that we fully enjoyed. Everything was delicious. We were also impressed by how gently the chef explained each dish (almost like whispering) and how smoothly everything came together. The stylish black-themed space and interior are wonderful every time we visit. The latest Facilities and high-end appliances can take some getting used to if you don’t read the manuals carefully, but everything—from tableware to decor—is tasteful, making it easy to spend special time comfortably at your own pace. Just one thing: I mistakenly thought the chef would arrive at 16:00; in reality they arrived at 17:30 and dinner started at 18:30. I regret not confirming in advance—I might have been able to enjoy my beloved stone sauna a bit more while waiting. Highly recommended for anyone who loves saunas or stone saunas—and for those who want a special dining experience in an extraordinary setting! We stayed last time at the end of summer and had great fun using the pool at night too, so we’d love to come again in summer.

We stayed here during a beach trip. All the staff greeted us with kind smiles throughout our stay. The building was very clean and spotless. The bath was also very relaxing. We stayed in a Room with a private bath, and both the bathroom and toilet were very clean. The meals were luxurious with many dishes, and we were completely full. Since we stayed with our child, we were able to enjoy fireworks at night. They provide a fireworks gift, and you can borrow a bucket and a lighter. Breakfast was delicious as well, and we enjoyed coffee after the meal and spent an elegant time until check-out. The free massage chairs and water in the lobby were also very helpful. Small creatures (like tree frogs and crabs) sometimes visit near the Ryokan entrance, which delighted our children. We made wonderful memories to start our summer vacation. Thank you very much.

I stayed here last October, and this was my second visit. It’s a new, clean Ryokan, and both the proprietress and the staff were very pleasant. The meals were full of seafood, and I was completely satisfied. However, the changing area in the bath was cold, and the floor there was also cold. The bathwater in the tub was lukewarm as well, so I didn’t feel very warmed up, which was disappointing.
