The Onsen in Yamaga was the best I have ever experienced. My skin stayed smooth and moisturized until the next day. If I have another chance, I would love to visit just for the bath. The front desk staff were also very kind.

An accommodation with exquisite cuisine at Yunomine Onsen. The entire facility, including the rooms, shared toilets, and baths, was impeccably clean, ensuring a comfortable stay. The onsen (men's bath) is not an open-air bath, but the large windows provide a spacious view, allowing for a relaxing experience. Yunomine Onsen, known as the oldest hot spring in Japan, offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere, distinct from large-scale onsen resorts. Near the accommodation, you can find a hot spring egg cooking spot, a temple, a public bathhouse, and a casual bar where you can enjoy drinks and steamed dishes, making it a delightful experience with your partner. This is an accommodation I would love to visit again when exploring Kumano Sanzan or Kumano Kodo.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days during Golden Week with my daughters and our pet rabbit. The sound of the stream from Reisenji River in front of the room and the chirping of small birds created a refreshing atmosphere, allowing us to spend our time peacefully. The meals were delightful, featuring dishes like mountain vegetable tempura, homemade tsukudani, green onion sauce, garlic-flavored grilled chicken skewers, and the specialty rainbow trout somen fry. We enjoyed every dish so much that we emptied the rice container. Each dish was explained to us in detail, and we felt warmth from the hospitality provided by your family. The Onsen was slightly lukewarm, perfect for a relaxing soak that left our bodies warm afterward. The private family bath with free-flowing hot spring water had an abundant supply and was truly enjoyable. Additionally, we could use the public bath right across from the accommodation for free to fully enjoy more Onsen experiences. This trip came right after a busy first month of the new fiscal year for our family; it felt like returning to a relative's countryside home where we could unwind and recharge ourselves completely. With limited accommodations available that allow pets to stay together in-room with meals served there as well, this place is incredibly appreciated! We would love to visit again!

It's hard to find a place where you can enjoy an Onsen while traveling with your dog. This time, we drove all the way from Kanagawa to Arifuku Onsen, a place we had never heard of before. Honestly, we didn’t have high expectations, but we spent a relaxing 2 nights and 3 days there. There was a small mishap on the third morning when breakfast didn’t arrive, but they handled it sincerely and professionally. (That breakfast was quite extravagant, wasn’t it? Thank you!) One request: if possible, please consider installing sound-masking devices in the toilets. The sounds are quite audible while cooking... I wish it were closer, but if I get another chance, I’d love to visit again!

The room comes with an open-air bath, so you can enjoy the Onsen anytime. The meals are also satisfying. I would love to visit again.

I stayed here during the Obuse Marathon. Despite my early departure, they kindly prepared rice balls and tea for me, which I greatly appreciated. The warm smiles when welcoming and sending me off made for a wonderful stay.

This time, I stayed with a friend. Due to the earthquake, there were fewer tourists, so the Onsen town felt a bit quiet, but the Accommodation had a warm, homey atmosphere and the staff were kind, making it very comfortable to stay. The meal was my first irori kaiseki dinner; it was delicious and very filling. However, during our Onsen-hopping, several places were closed, which was the only disappointment.

Located in a quiet and scenic area slightly away from the Onsen town, the building is old but well-maintained and clean. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious and satisfying. The bath is very warming, and I could feel positive effects on my body. Although bathing is available only until 8 AM, I had no complaints. The 10-tatami Room comes with a toilet, allowing for a relaxing stay with check-in at 1 PM. I would love to visit again.

I’m not good with the cold, so I was a bit worried about how warm the Room would be, but there was a heater and a kotatsu, and they even provided a hot water bottle for sleeping, so I stayed very comfortably. Also, I didn’t know that access to nine different hot springs was included, but they were all fun and I was completely satisfied. Breakfast was delicious as well, and I truly had a wonderful time. Highly recommended Accommodation. Thank you very much.

The Onsen is on the small side, but since there are only about eight guest groups, you can relax and enjoy it at your own pace. Meals are served in semi-private dining areas, so you can dine comfortably. The menu is more than satisfying, with pork shabu-shabu, a sashimi platter, and tempura. You can also enjoy the outdoor Onsen—just as you’d expect from Kusatsu Onsen.

I brought my own toothbrush and sleepwear, and since there was only a shower I rated it 3–4 stars, but the location was excellent and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. A morning walk along the river is highly recommended.

The facility is somewhat old-fashioned, with water facilities reflecting a bygone era. It may not be suitable for those accustomed to the latest amenities, but I found the retro and calming atmosphere of the café space to match well with the interior of the Ryokan. The bath had a limited capacity, requiring some consideration, but there was no crowding, and using the bathing area was smooth. The bathtub was filled with many floating citrus fruits (zabon), which gave off a wonderful fragrance. We only requested breakfast, which featured standard Ryokan-style dishes with plenty of side dishes to accompany rice. It left us feeling very full. One highlight was meeting the resident cats! At designated times, we visited their room where four cats were present—just watching them was soothing. The hostess kindly ensured that everyone could interact with them comfortably, and even children enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Around the front desk were various cat-themed items that showcased their love for cats clearly. Our children adored the cats so much that they said they want to visit again! If we have another chance in the future, we would love to return here again!

The owner is very kind. The interior and furnishings are thoughtfully designed, and the Accommodation is very clean. It’s also within walking distance of the beach, which is very convenient.

Located on the outskirts of Arima Onsen town, this accommodation offers a quiet and peaceful environment. Although it was slightly early in the season and the autumn leaves had just started to change color, it was a place that made me want to visit again.

I wanted to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and was looking for an affordable place to stay nearby when I found this Hotel. For the Onsen and breakfast, I used their affiliated property close by, Ivy Hotel Chikushino. I was able to enjoy Futsukaichi Onsen, and the meals were delicious as well. The front desk staff were very helpful, and thanks to their recommendation, I went to the izakaya “Gon (Hiko),” where the grilled yam on an iron plate and the grilled chicken on an iron plate were excellent—I was very satisfied. To get to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, you need to walk 21 minutes to Nishitetsu Futsukaichi Station, so if you have difficulty walking, it’s better to use a taxi or bus.

Every dish prepared by the owner was delicate and delicious. We were especially impressed by the boat platter of Seki mackerel. The Accommodation staff, dressed in clean black outfits, gave a neat and professional impression. Although it is a two-story building, there is an elevator, showing thoughtful consideration for guests with limited mobility. The private bath had a charming atmosphere and was wonderful. The water temperature was just right for Kannawa Onsen (no added water needed). They served draft beer (with edamame) to our Room. Their phone support was accurate and courteous. We found it comfortable that they maintained an appropriate distance from guests without being overly friendly. This is an Accommodation where you can feel genuine hospitality, and we would like to visit again.

We stayed in a double room as a couple. The accommodation was stylish, the room was clean, and there was even a private onsen. It was about a 10-minute walk to Yubatake in Kusatsu Onsen, making our trip very enjoyable. The owner kindly explained the directions to Yubatake, but since it was already dark, we got slightly lost before arriving. It would be even better if there were a guide map available that is easy to follow even after sunset. Overall, it is a highly satisfying and recommended accommodation!

Hirayu Onsen has milky-white, iron-rich waters. After a day of hiking, it warmed us up wonderfully. The open-air bath was especially nice. The meals focused on local specialties, and we were able to enjoy a full range of Gifu delicacies such as Hida beef shabu-shabu, hoba miso, and salmon sashimi. It was supposed to be the standard meal plan, but for us—a couple in our mid-50s—it was more than luxurious enough and very satisfying. As for hospitality, the woman at the front desk, the woman who served our meals, and the man were all friendly and warm. It’s also convenient—about a 5-minute walk to the Hirayu Bus Terminal for buses to Kamikochi. We had a wonderful trip.

I stayed here for one night on the second night of my five-night solo trip to Kusatsu Onsen from Fukuoka, and I’m glad I was able to get a Reservation. I had heard that Kusatsu Onsen has various types of spring water, so I chose this Ryokan because it has a great reputation for its water quality and allows solo guests to enjoy the Onsen. Just as expected, the Onsen was truly wonderful, and I enjoyed soaking many times. I also visited several public baths—hot, tingling springs like Jizo-no-Yu felt great—but Gokurakukan’s comfortably warm Onsen was perfect for a long soak. It’s also recommended for those who don’t like very hot water. Towels were available in the Room as well as in the changing area by the bath, which was very convenient. Another nice point was being able to go to the Onsen without passing through the front desk, making it easy even early in the morning. The Room was clean, and the toilet was exceptionally spotless. I was happy to find Matsumura manju served with tea snacks. The free breakfast was delicious—the bread was wonderfully chewy. I also had dinner at the restaurant on the second floor; both the curry doria and carrot salad were excellent. At check-out, the owner and staff kindly gave me detailed sightseeing tips around Kusatsu. Thanks to them, I learned about Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture and went there using car sharing. After waiting about 30 minutes, I was lucky enough to see monkeys soaking in an Onsen—it was amazing. The next day, I used car sharing again and enjoyed Ikaho’s hot spring buns and Mizusawa udon as well. It became a truly memorable solo trip. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and next time I’d love to stay with my family—thank you very much.

The staff member who took care of both dinner and breakfast was very pleasant. Also, at check-out, since both taxis and buses were crowded, they kindly drove us instead. We truly appreciate their flexible support. The bath was also excellent! Thank you for your hospitality. We would like to visit again.
