Nationwide × Accommodation To Enjoy With Children Who Love AnpanmanHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed here for a live concert in Yokohama. This was the best Accommodation I stayed at this year. Everything was comfortable, and I had a wonderful stay. Thank you to the staff for your kind and helpful service. I would love to stay here again.

We stayed as a family of three. From check-in onward, the explanations and guidance were excellent, and the service was wonderful. We planned to use the parking lot, but we were told it was not available after check-out, and they kindly directed us to a nearby Chinatown parking lot. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, and there were welcome drinks and alcohol as well—everything was thoughtfully provided. It’s a Hotel we would like to stay at again if we have the chance. Thank you very much.

About an 8-minute walk along the main street from Sendai Station, the moment you step through the front entrance you’re greeted by a refreshing fragrance—pleasantly stimulating to the senses. In the lobby, depending on the time of day, there are live piano or pipe organ performances, with plenty of Bach filling the space—another delight for the ears. Even in the large public bath, you can stretch out while listening to Bach—a soothing treat for a body tired from walking. At breakfast, small dishes made with carefully selected Tohoku ingredients are packed tightly across the spread—pleasing to both eyes and palate. With a typhoon approaching and heavy wind and rain outside, we still went to watch the Eagles! This was a wonderful Hotel that became an unforgettable memory alongside Maeken’s milestone 100th NPB win.

I don’t travel very often, so this may not be the best reference, but among the Hotels I’ve stayed at in various prefectures, this was the best. I was surprised that welcome drinks and alcohol were available to enjoy freely! If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the sink was small, and sometimes water splashed onto the floor when washing my face. All of the front desk staff were polite and kind, and my whole family praised them highly. I’d love to stay here again if I have the chance.

From the warm welcome at the front desk during check-in to the friendly greetings and conversations from the breakfast staff, everyone was kind and made our stay very pleasant.

Although we arrived in heavy rain, everything was perfect—the Hotel Facility, the staff’s service, and the meals—so we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, making the most of carefully selected ingredients. Since we had a private dining room, we could take our time and enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The Room was very clean and spacious, and there were Hotel macadamia chocolates waiting for us, which we enjoyed right away. Above all, the staff were truly wonderful. The restaurant staff kindly explained even the origins of the ingredients in detail, and I was surprised when they made rice balls from the leftover seasonal mixed rice. We enjoyed them as a tasty late-night snack. Even while walking down the hallway, they spoke to us in a friendly way—chatting about The Kahala Hotel in Hawaii—and they took photos of us in front of large beautiful flowers, bringing back memories of Hawaii. The younger staff members were also very kind; when I didn’t know how to use the coffee maker, they came to our Room and patiently showed me how. The front desk team and even the person who came for bed-making also chatted with us pleasantly. Everyone had such lovely smiles. The only disappointing point was that although the bathtub was spacious with impressive marble, it was slippery at the bottom and I slipped. It may not be an issue for younger guests, but it would be helpful if you could provide non-slip rubber mats for elderly guests. It was a wonderful Hotel in every way. I want to visit again soon.

It was my first stay in a while, and this time I booked a Multiple Night Stay. The Grace Suite Room was wonderful—spacious and comfortable. There were some issues at check-in with how our luggage was handled, but overall we were very satisfied. We also enjoyed dinner again at the teppanyaki restaurant “Shin,” where the chef who has been taking care of us for nearly 10 years made it a truly enjoyable evening. When we come to Kobe, we will stay with you again. Thank you to all the staff.

I’m visiting again because when I stayed here last year on a scorching 36°C day in Sendai, I was truly moved by this oasis-like space I finally arrived at. This time, Sendai—the City of Trees—was a cool 26°C. The Hotel still had that wonderful fragrance that made me want to take a deep breath, and I was so happy to be able to return. The Room was clean, and the bath area—with a shampoo bar and an open-air bath—was incredibly soothing after work. Breakfast also offered a wide variety of options; the pleasantly chewy wakame seaweed in the miso soup, sasa-kamaboko fish cake, Sendai-fu wheat gluten, and zunda tiramisu were all delicious—I felt so happy. Thank you for the staff’s hard work and warm hospitality. If I have another chance to visit Sendai, I would love to stay here again.

Breakfast was excellent. There were also Miyagi specialties, which we enjoyed. The Room was easy to use, and we would like to make this our regular Accommodation.

Being right in the heart of Nakasu made me a bit nervous at first, but it wasn’t that noisy at night. There’s a convenience store downstairs, and the station is close by, so it was very convenient. They kindly changed my booking to the ladies’ floor, and the Room layout was functional and stress-free. I could stretch out comfortably in the large public bath and relax well. I’d like to stay again.

I stayed here for a live show at Pia Arena MM. I wasn’t sure which Hotel to choose, but picking this Richmond Hotel was absolutely the right decision! Bashamichi Station is close by, so I reached my destination quickly on the Minatomirai Line. It was also a typhoon day, and I really appreciated not getting too wet in the rain. The room is very simple, but it was comfortable and there was no trouble finding space for my luggage. The mattress was excellent and I slept very well. The amenities were also great—toner, emulsion, face masks, etc.—and I liked the system of picking them up in the lobby. Just one thing: the shower curtain had a bit of an odor. Other than that, I was very satisfied! The shower water pressure was fantastic. Since it was for a live show, I planned to bring my own hair iron, but when I checked with the Hotel in advance they lent me one. It’s an iron that can do both straightening and curls with one unit—and it worked really well. The staff and front desk team were very kind, and I had a pleasant stay. I’d like to use this Accommodation again.

This time, three generations of our family stayed for one night as a break for our grandchild who is studying. It was close to Cosmo World and Sky Duck, and it also had a pool. The Room was wonderful, the meals were very satisfying, and everyone was delighted. The view from the Room was also amazing. We would definitely like to visit again together.

Hotel Okura Kobe has the dignified charm of a long-established Hotel, and everything—from the outstanding staff to the excellent dining—made for unforgettable travel memories. In particular, it was truly pleasant that the staff greeted us warmly every time we came and went. Although it is a first-class Hotel, perhaps thanks to Kobe being such a tourist-friendly city, we were grateful for the strong value for money and reasonable pricing that never felt overly expensive. I would like to make this my regular Accommodation whenever I visit Kobe in the future. I usually choose Okura properties when they offer good value depending on the dates and city, but even so, The Okura Tokyo has become quite expensive. In that respect, this stay in Kobe was genuinely satisfying.

One area for improvement: the 3:00 PM check-in needs better handling. There was a very long line, and it took about 30 minutes to check in. I understand that many guests were staying during the holiday period, but it would have been appropriate to offer those waiting at least a brief comment such as “Thank you for your patience.” That said, what’s impressive about this Hotel is how it turns that negative start into a positive experience by the end. The Room was clean, and the amenities were well stocked. The bed was made beautifully, and I slept very well. Above all, it was quiet, which I really appreciated. The Room was also spacious, and you can clearly see the effort to make effective use of the available space. The breakfast deserves special mention: there was a wide variety of options, and everything was truly delicious. With its excellent location just steps from the station, I’d be happy to stay again—even if it means lining up next time. It could easily become my go-to Accommodation when staying in Sendai.

The amenities were excellent (a choice of teas, bath salts, sunscreen, etc.), and the service was very good. Cleaning was perfect except for a bag of trash under the bed and a tea-like smell coming from the kettle. There were many thoughtful touches, such as an emergency smoke hood bag, a fire blanket (maybe for a mobile battery fire?), a microwave, rental manual washing machine, and a card used in place of a Room key. For a Multiple Night Stay, fresh towels are hung on the Room door, which is convenient. They were courteous both when storing luggage and at check-in. Check-out can be done on the in-Room TV, but I wasn’t sure whether the Room key card should be left in the Room or returned to the box by the entrance.

We stayed as a family of four. Breakfast was very delicious, and the beef tongue in particular was excellent. The staff at the breakfast venue were also very friendly.

Although it’s a day-use stay, you can stay for a long time, so the price is about the same as an internet café, but it’s far more relaxing. It’s clean and quiet. The front desk can get crowded when check-in times overlap, but the Room is quiet and comfortable with calm interior decor. I will use it again when I need to focus on studying or working. Thank you very much.

It was a calm Hotel, and all the staff were very friendly. Breakfast had a good selection and was delicious. The bathroom took some time to drain, perhaps because we were on the 9th floor, but it was well cleaned and comfortable to use.

With a typhoon forecast to hit directly, we decided on the Sheraton right away. Thanks to that, we stayed dry and could respond based on the latest information, which gave us peace of mind. We were upgraded to a Room and had a very relaxing stay. Breakfast was all delicious with locally sourced ingredients—especially the freshly made rice balls, which were outstanding.

Thank you very much for your hospitality the other day. Following last year, I stayed with you again. Not only is the location convenient and close to the station, but your staff’s excellent service made it an easy choice to stay at your Hotel again this year. It seems Fukuoka has been experiencing hot days as well, so please take good care of yourselves. I look forward to visiting again.
