Nationwide × Accommodation For Enjoying Walks In The Onsen TownHighly-rated Hotel·Ryokan - 41Page Number

I brought my elderly father, who loves Onsen but has difficulty walking. When I mentioned this at the time of Reservation, they prepared a Room right next to the elevator. I also requested a barrier-free Room, and it was spacious with handrails throughout. Even the tatami area was set up so he could relax comfortably in a chair, which made him very happy. The bath in our Room had 100% natural Onsen water flowing continuously 24 hours a day—it felt almost too luxurious. There was a step at the entrance to the tub, and the inside of the bath was slightly raised as well. A sturdy shower chair was provided, so I felt safe letting him bathe. Of course, he also enjoyed the large public bath with my husband. For dinner, a chef came to our Room and served freshly fried tempura and freshly grilled steak. Everything was truly delicious. The kamameshi rice was excellent too, and the portions were just right—we were completely satisfied. All of the staff were very kind. At check-in they helped us choose yukata together, and even though my father used a wheelchair that we borrowed there, one of the senior managers spoke warmly to him—he was deeply touched. This is a Hotel he visited many times with my late mother, and he spent two full days here looking genuinely happy. It meant so much to be able to do something special for him. Thank you very much.

We thoroughly enjoyed both the dinner and breakfast buffets. At dinner, the Shimane Wagyu roast beef and sweet shrimp were especially delicious. For breakfast, in addition to making our own seafood bowl, we also loved the Shimane Wagyu beef stew, which was hearty with plenty of meat. The garden was beautiful, and all the staff were kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

After descending from the mountains on the second night of my two-night stay in Shima Onsen—somewhere I had long wanted to visit—I stayed at this Accommodation. It is located in a quiet area, and the beautiful views of the Shima River from both the Room and the baths, along with the excellent spring quality and comfortable temperatures, made me very satisfied. The three large public baths were each enjoyable. The proprietress’s picture-story show and talk, which she has continued for 33 years, were skillful, fun, soothing, and highly recommended. The staff were also polite and very pleasant, providing attentive hospitality throughout. This is one Accommodation I would like to stay at again.

We were talking with friends about wanting to see the Atami fireworks, and that’s how we found Atami Terrace. We’d often seen it on Instagram, so although it was a bit pricey for us, we decided to make the Reservation since it was a special occasion—and we were absolutely thrilled! Nothing blocked the view: an amazing collaboration of the sea, illuminations, and fireworks right in front of us. The powerful sound that you could feel in your stomach was truly moving. The service was just as impressive as the fireworks. The buffet meals—both dinner and breakfast—offered great variety, and unlike many Hotels like this, there was hardly any waiting in line. For my friend who has trouble walking and uses a cane, there was a cart that could carry a tray while moving around, and she seemed happy to be able to choose as much as she wanted. We were also surprised by the all-you-can-drink beer. We also enjoyed plenty inside the Hotel—late-night soba noodles, plus tea and sweets in the lounge. And with the beach right in front of you, I think it would be perfect for swimming too. It’s beautiful overall, and the Room is compact but well organized—we felt relaxed throughout our stay. We’ve already made another Reservation for the November fireworks festival. We’re really looking forward to it.

The Onsen was a comfortable size and felt wonderful. The bamboo bath was especially relaxing. Since there is an Onsen for guests, we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meals were buffet-style, and everything was delicious, with a menu that both adults and children could enjoy. If the observatory had been available, we could have enjoyed Kurokawa’s night sky even more. We knew it was out of order, but since there was a poster displayed, our child got excited and ended up disappointed.

We stayed for one night on July 4–5. This time, six of us (three couples in our 70s) stayed in three Rooms, each with a private open-air bath. To be honest, two of my friends’ husbands have never wanted to use large public baths on our past trips. So this time we splurged on Rooms with open-air baths—and those husbands were thrilled and apparently bathed many times. Everyone agreed it was excellent. The front desk staff were polite and clear, and the foreign staff member who assisted with meals spoke Japanese very well. We even had a bit of personal conversation, and they answered earnestly, making mealtime very enjoyable. Of course, the food itself was also outstanding: many small dishes and a wide variety of carefully prepared items—again, everyone was completely satisfied. At checkout we passed several housekeeping staff members, and every one of them greeted us properly, so we left feeling great. It was quiet, with only the sound of the nearby river; I almost fell asleep in the open-air bath. The price didn’t feel expensive at all. This turned into a long Review, but there’s no doubt we’ll want to come again.

I stayed in a Room at Hakubaittei. The building is old, and the in-room toilet, sink, and bath felt dated, but everything was well cleaned and felt hygienic. The light switches were unresponsive and had a delay before turning on, which was inconvenient. The Onsen baths offer a wide variety and were very satisfying. There are also many open-air baths. The changing area was clean as well. There are several entrances to the baths, but when using the entrance near the front desk, the cold-water dispenser was only located between the changing area and the bathing area. It would have been nice to have a cold-water dispenser with cups near that entrance or in the changing area. There were dispensers near other entrances. The meals weren’t anything special, but everything tasted good. The service was also good. The breakfast buffet had plenty of variety and was delicious, with shabu-shabu, tuna sashimi, and kamameshi even in the morning. I chose this Accommodation for the baths and food, so it was absolutely the right choice! I’d like to stay again.

I was able to relax from arrival to departure! The open-air Onsen bath was amazing, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious—making for a truly happy stay. The river flowing past the lobby and visible from the Room, along with the lush green trees, was incredibly beautiful, letting you fully enjoy summer in the mountains. One drawback is that because it is built along the riverbank, getting up and down can be difficult. There is no elevator, so all movement is by stairs. In particular, the stairs down to the first floor are quite narrow and steep (though you likely won’t need to move around inside the Hotel very often). Also, precisely because the Onsen is so wonderful, you’ll want to soak many times—but despite that, the bath towels were thin and there were no bathrobes. Very disappointing! With such a great Onsen, I wish they would make it easier to fully enjoy it! That said, overall it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely like to visit again.

The Onsen was incredibly relaxing, and I was able to unwind and enjoy a peaceful stay. I also appreciated that it is free-flowing from the source and available 24 hours a day. The water temperature was just right, and it left my skin feeling silky smooth. We had dinner on a riverside dining platform, and it was wonderful to enjoy the scenery and the sound of the flowing river while eating. The meal was delicious and had a great seasonal feel. The staff were courteous, which made the stay very comfortable. I would love to return if I have the chance.

I traveled with my partner. The Hotel felt a bit old, but all the staff we passed greeted us warmly and cheerfully, which was very pleasant. They promptly assisted with the reservation call for river rafting and handled it efficiently. The meals in the morning and evening had a wide variety of dishes, were visually colorful, and used local ingredients, which I appreciated. The chicken in the hot pot was delicious, as was the rice. I would love to visit again if I have the chance. Next time, I’d like to try river rafting too!

I was supposed to bring the Room towels to the Onsen, but a staff member who happened to be checking the water kindly brought me towels, so I could relax in the hot water and feel refreshed. The dinner was also delicious.

The Onsen is mild, silky-smooth, and very relaxing. The Kiso River cormorant fishing season had also begun, and we could see it right in front of the Hotel. Both my friends and I were truly impressed. The Hotel staff were kind and took great care of us.

Since it was self check-in, I didn’t have high expectations, but it was a Facility where I could relax comfortably, including the Room, Onsen, and relaxation room. The Onsen quality was excellent; although it was set up so you could visit other Onsens as well, there was no need. There are no meals provided, but just before heading up the mountain there is “Gutto Yamagata,” which offers a great selection of Yamagata food and everything from meals to alcohol. I would like to stay here again when I visit Yamagata.

I visit Ajiro for fishing and always choose this accommodation as my regular stay. It's so comfortable that I often end up extending my stay. The view is great, and the private bath is absolutely amazing. I will continue to support you!

When making the Reservation, I couldn’t operate my smartphone and contacted them directly. They explained that booking from a smartphone is a better deal, and although I’m not used to it, I was able to make the Reservation. On the day, I stayed with my elderly father who has a disability. Our Room was on the first floor, and the Onsen was on the same floor and nearby. My father loves Onsen and used it three times during our one-night stay. We were very satisfied with the Onsen. There is also an AEON nearby, which was very convenient. I would like to stay again.

We were able to relax in a quiet, calm atmosphere. The nearby bath was also very pleasant. The breakfast portion was just right for seniors like us. The rice was very delicious, but we couldn’t finish it and regretted leaving some. However, since we didn’t include dinner, we had trouble finding a place to eat in the evening. There were restaurants nearby, but many were closed, so we went to Gotsu. We should have checked in advance.

I stayed here while traveling with my parents, who are over 70. The meals were incredibly delicious—excellent! The Onsen water was also wonderful. We used the private bath, and it had a lovely, atmospheric charm. The staff were kind and pleasant, and we had a very comfortable stay. However, using the stairs to get to the Room and baths seemed a bit difficult for my parents, whose legs and hips are not as strong as they used to be.

We stayed one night in a top-floor Room with an open-air bath. The open-air bath had a great view and was wonderful. For dinner, we enjoyed Japanese cuisine in a semi-private dining area. It was quiet, we could eat as a family, and everything was delicious. When we stay in Tochigi again, we would like to stay here again. This is a highly recommended Hotel.

During the Obon holiday period, I was looking after my grandchild and searched for a nearby Hotel where a 2-year-old could play. We stayed in a family Room created in collaboration with Miki House. While the Hotel’s structure is undeniably old, it has been beautifully renovated and we had a very comfortable stay. The children’s pool inside the Hotel, the slide and jungle gym set up in the Room, toys such as building blocks, and the evening festival-style event all delighted my grandchild. Dinner was served in our Room so we could relax without worrying about others, and the breakfast buffet offered delicious dishes made with local ingredients in a restaurant with a great view. This was an especially recommended Hotel for families traveling with children. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
