Nationwide × Accommodation For Enjoying Walks In The Onsen TownHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan - 80Page Number

Despite a last-minute reservation, we were fortunate to have our room upgraded, and we were deeply touched by this thoughtful gesture upon arrival. With only five rooms, the accommodation offers a luxurious and meticulously maintained environment. Even though it was shortly after the Tohoku earthquake, the area was completely unaffected, providing a serene and enriching experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the onsen. The natural hot spring water is free of any additives or heating adjustments, offering what can only be described as "miraculously perfect temperature" that warms you to your core. The private onsen experience with fresh flowing water is a unique charm of an accommodation of this scale. Meals were also exceptional, featuring creative dishes made with local ingredients—well worth the trip. Young staff members actively share updates through social media, showcasing their passion for revitalizing the onsen area. Although it’s a bit far from Kanto, I look forward to visiting again during bamboo shoot season next time!

We stayed with our 1 year and 10-month-old child. We chose this accommodation because it is a "Welcome Baby" certified accommodation, and it truly lived up to its name! The kids' room was filled with various toys, which made our child very happy. Diapers and wipes were also provided, so we could travel light. The meals were absolutely delicious, and we were very satisfied! The breakfast for children was also luxurious and wonderful. Additionally, the all-inclusive service allowed us to enjoy drinks, alcohol, and snacks at any time we liked, which was a great perk. Our child kept asking for refills of Calpis (laughs). As for the Onsen, the private Onsen was available 24 hours a day. We could check availability on our smartphone and use it whenever we wanted! It was great to have relaxing bath time as a family. Since we stayed on a weekday, there weren’t many people around, so we could relax without worrying even with a small child in tow. The staff members were very kind as well—it turned out to be such a wonderful family trip! Thank you so much!

We chose the Meat Satisfaction Plan, but it was such a feast that we couldn’t finish it—what a shame! Still, everything was delicious. The Onsen was wonderful too; the open-air bath uses natural hot spring water and felt like an infinity bath overlooking the pond. We were also happy to be able to enjoy coffee in the lounge. The Room had a lovely atmosphere, and it was fun watching the koi in the pond from the window. We’ll come again if we have the chance!

All the staff were very friendly. The Onsen was also satisfying. The Italian full-course dinner looked beautiful and was very delicious. The portions were just right, and there was a wide selection of alcoholic drinks. We were able to relax and it became a special trip. I would like to visit again.

For me, trips are something you remember forever when something unexpected happens. This stay at Masuya Ryokan was just like that. There were several small stories woven between people. It was truly enjoyable, and I’d love to visit again.

We stayed here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We arrived early and waited in the car, but despite the rain, we were warmly greeted with an umbrella and escorted into the Hotel. The welcome drinks, including matcha beer and panna cotta, were delightful. On top of that, the food was exceptional. The aged meats were absolutely mouthwatering. I’ve already recommended this place to my friends. Everything was perfect. We look forward to visiting again!

Perhaps because it was before the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy the Onsen almost as if it were private, which made for a very relaxing stay. Although the water was clear and colorless, black mineral deposits formed in it, and it warmed us up wonderfully. The Room was well cleaned, the meals were delicious, and we were very satisfied overall. It was a bit disappointing that there is a step between the lobby and the elevator to the guest rooms. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again when visiting Fukushima.

We were able to spend a relaxing Obon holiday as a family of three. The meals were very delicious, and we also enjoyed taking our time with coffee at The Perch. Since our daughter started working in Osaka, our family has taken a small luxury trip every summer for 2 nights and 3 days somewhere near Osaka. This was our third visit to Arima Onsen, and we were able to truly unwind. The food was especially wonderful, and we look forward to it every time—my husband even said this was the best meal he can remember having here. The Accommodation itself is a charming building that conveys a sense of history, which we really appreciated. We also liked that the bathing area had separate spaces for the bath and the washing area. However, the shower pressure was weak, so we think it would be even better if that could be improved. (Personally, I was disappointed that the open-air bath in our Room was not Onsen water and that the shower water pressure in the Room was weak.) Overall, it was a very memorable stay. Thank you very much for taking care of us for three days.

We chose this Accommodation for our final day. The meals were served in our Room, and above all, the Onsen was outstanding. Every dish was delicious, especially the sukiyaki and the surf clam sashimi. Breakfast was also generous, and the peach we had for dessert was sweet and very tasty. I was surprised by the proprietress’s greeting as it was my first time experiencing that, but thank you for taking the time to come and greet us. We would love to visit again. We will use the bottled natural hot spring water we received at check-out as a substitute for toner.

Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality. From the warm welcome upon our arrival until we left the Accommodation, our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The tasteful selection of tea and sweets served on arrival only heightened our anticipation for the meals. Both dinner and breakfast were thoughtfully prepared, with each dish carefully crafted, and my wife and I enjoyed them with genuine admiration. The salt served alongside was perfectly balanced and paired wonderfully with both sashimi and rice. As I had mentioned ingredients I do not care for, you kindly adjusted the menu accordingly, allowing me to enjoy everything deliciously. We are truly grateful to the head chef and the attendant for their considerate care. For bathing, we enjoyed the open-air bath attached to our Room as well as the large public bath and two open-air baths (rotating by time). All were at a comfortable temperature with excellent water quality, and we bathed four times during our stay. For us as a couple who travel to enjoy baths and great food, it was pure bliss. One small regret is that while we loved the Onsen manju in our Room, we only learned afterward that if we had ordered in advance the day before, we could have purchased freshly made ones the next day. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again.

I stayed here after my visit to Akakura Kanko Hotel. The Onsen was wonderful. The meals were also very delicious. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your kindness. The road to the Accommodation was narrow and a bit scary, but otherwise we were completely satisfied. The bath was excellent.

We stayed for one night and two days with dinner and breakfast included for four people. The traditional house, delicious meals, and the warm hospitality of the proprietress were very soothing. The building is a bit old, but it made us feel like we were visiting a relative’s home. However, perhaps because some walls are thin, noise from upstairs and downstairs carries through, so it may bother some guests.

The staff’s thoughtful hospitality, the dinner and breakfast, and the view from our Room were all wonderful, making this a truly memorable stay. The nostalgic Showa-era retro atmosphere throughout the building was also very impressive and gave us a comforting feeling, as if we were visiting my grandmother’s home. In particular, the simmered splendid alfonsino served at dinner was exquisite, and we were very satisfied with the wide variety of dishes. However, because everything was so delicious, there was more food than we could finish, which made us feel a bit sorry. If possible, having an option to reduce 2–3 items or cut back on heavier dishes such as hot pot dishes—while enhancing signature items like sashimi—would make the experience even more appealing. Housekeeping was thorough and we stayed comfortably, but we did notice some signs of age in parts of the Facility, so we hope repairs will continue little by little. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to use again.

I love Yuya Onsen and visit a few times a year, and this time I stayed at Ryokan Hisago. It’s a long-established Ryokan built along the river, and it seems the Rooms have been renovated, so I was really looking forward to it. From check-in, we received a warm welcome and were shown to our Room—and it was exactly as I had hoped! It was clean with a comfortable layout, and the size was more than sufficient. When you open the window, you can hear the murmur of the river and the calls of wildlife, which is incredibly soothing. The meals were very well seasoned, and freshly prepared dishes were brought out one after another, making everything even more enjoyable. The bath temperature was slightly on the lukewarm side, so you can relax while looking out at the river. If available, you can use the private open-air bath freely, so I was able to enjoy it in the evening, at night, and in the morning as well. It was also great that it could be used throughout the night. This is an Accommodation I’d love to visit again.

We were worried right after the 2026 Kumamoto earthquake, but the west coast of Amakusa was unaffected, and my spouse and I were able to travel there safely. The Accommodation building itself is old, with no elevator and simple facilities, but it was kept clean. The staff—especially the owner—were warm and welcoming, so we had a very pleasant stay. Even though the price was low, the meals were far more luxurious than we expected, and every dish was delicious! Because of the earthquake’s impact on other guests’ plans, we didn’t run into anyone else at the bath and could relax comfortably. The only reason it isn’t a perfect rating is its age. If you don’t need a luxurious atmosphere in your Room, it’s more than sufficient. It was a very good Accommodation.

I stayed here because I wanted to relax in Kurokawa Onsen. The Accommodation had a calm atmosphere and was very comfortable, so I was able to spend a peaceful time even on my own. The Onsen temperature was just right, and it truly soothed my travel fatigue. The Asuka hot pot I had for dinner was especially memorable. The gently flavored soup, like white miso, was absolutely delicious, and I enjoyed it all the way to the end without getting tired of it. Every dish made with local ingredients was also wonderful, and both my heart and stomach were completely satisfied. All of the staff were warm and welcoming, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. Thanks to them, I felt refreshed both physically and mentally, making it a memorable solo trip. I would love to come back in a different season. Thank you very much.

I stayed here again for the first time in a year with my sister and my 95-year-old mother. We requested the same top-floor Room as last year, with a private bath. The bath is filled with Onsen water, and since my mother’s legs have weakened and she can’t go to the large public bath, our main purpose was to let her soak in the Onsen. Another highlight is the wonderful service from the female staff at the dining venue—warm, pleasant, and truly excellent. The meals are of course delicious too (haha)! The only drawback is that the lounge in the first-floor lobby is not barrier-free. It would be perfect if there were a ramp.

It was worth extending our trip from Karuizawa to Kusatsu Onsen just to visit Kimuraya. We truly enjoyed a relaxing time, and the Shirahata no Yu with its free-flowing Onsen water was so smooth it felt like it embraced the body. Even my husband, who isn’t particularly fond of hot springs, seemed to appreciate its charm and went in multiple times. The staff members were all wonderful as well.

A year after falling ill, I was finally feeling well again and truly enjoyed the soft-shelled turtle dishes. I did wish the portions were a bit larger, but considering the price, it felt reasonable. Overall, I was satisfied.
