This was our first stay, and the check-in service was excellent—I knew right away we had chosen the right place. Dinner offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, and we were completely full; my spouse and I were more than satisfied. Thank you very much for all your help from check-out until we left. When we visit Yufuin again, we will make a Reservation at Nakaya. Thank you in advance.

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.

The Room was spacious enough for a solo stay and very clean, so I could relax comfortably. The Onsen was a bit hot for me, but it felt wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. If I visit the Iwaki area again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

We tried all three private baths, and each one was an excellent, invigorating Bandai mineral spring. Getting to the Yubatake area can be a bit challenging due to some steep slopes, but it makes for just the right amount of exercise after eating and drinking. The complimentary breakfast kamameshi was also delicious.

I arrived an hour before check-in and called on the off chance I could at least use the parking lot, but they kindly allowed me to check in early, which was a huge help. Also, for a birthday surprise, my planning wasn’t great and I ended up calling several times, but every time they responded pleasantly and explained everything carefully from start to finish. Thanks to them, it turned into the best surprise, and I’m truly grateful. Even though the price was reasonable, the meals were generous and very delicious. I don’t usually write Reviews, but the staff were so wonderful that I’m genuinely glad we chose this Ryokan. If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again. Thank you very much!

The service was attentive and excellent from check-in to dining. Detailed explanations were provided throughout the accommodation, offering a sense of history everywhere. The quality of the hot spring water was exceptional and rare to find elsewhere. I would love to visit again in a different season.

This accommodation is located right next to a famous architectural accommodation in Shibu Onsen, in front of the ninth bath of the Sotoyu Meguri. It is an ideal location for enjoying the Sotoyu Meguri. The hospitality from all staff, including the proprietress, is exceptional, making it a very pleasant place to stay. While the guest rooms are slightly dated, the meals are impeccable in both variety and taste, and of course, the onsen water soothes deep into your body to relieve daily fatigue. For us as a couple, this accommodation exceeded our expectations.

I stayed here to visit Kiyotsu Gorge. It was my first trip to Niigata. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there weren’t many guests, so I could relax and take my time. At the Premium Lounge, drinks such as beer were all-you-can-drink, and the Onsen’s open-air bath was wonderful. Dinner was a course meal, and breakfast was a buffet— both were very filling! It’s right in front of the ski slopes, so it’s a perfect location for skiing in winter. The station is within walking distance, but they kindly drove me back to the station on my way out. They took great care of everything, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

I arrived by motorcycle on a rainy day, and they kindly allowed me to park in front of the entrance where it wouldn’t get wet, which made carrying my luggage much easier. I really appreciated that thoughtful consideration. The guest Room is a bit dated, but it was no different from a typical Route Inn. The Room key was the old-style type, which felt nostalgic. The Room was properly cleaned, and I had a comfortable stay. Since I didn’t want to go out in the rain, I had dinner inside the Hotel and it was delicious. Breakfast was also similar to what I usually have at Route Inn, but it felt like there were more kinds of bread. Whenever I go touring, I enjoy staying at Route Inns in various places. Collecting Route Inn keychains is fun too.

Thank you very much for your hospitality, even on an off-season weekday.

Located in an Onsen area, but it is not an Onsen. However, there is a large public bath, and it is clean. The rooms are also clean and give a comforting feeling like returning to your family home. It was very relaxing. A very nice accommodation. Yukata, toothbrushes, and towels are provided. However, razors are not available, so please bring one if you need to shave.

After watching a baseball game, we extended our trip to enjoy Kinosaki Onsen and the Amarube Bridge sightseeing. Since my friend and I both love crab, we stayed with the Kasumi Crab course at this accommodation. When I informed them in advance by phone that my friend had difficulty walking, they kindly prepared a barrier-free room for us. The food was delicious. They also arranged a taxi for us, and the staff serving meals were very attentive. The onsen was excellent as well. Although I was initially worried due to some negative reviews, we had a pleasant stay overall. The area in front of the ryokan was quiet enough to relax comfortably.

A sulfur-scented, free-flowing hot spring fed directly from the source, shimmering emerald green. Mineral deposits quickly form on the surface—proof of true free-flowing spring water. An Accommodation with no excessive services—just soak in the baths and stay overnight. Yet it feels like it offered the most precious time and opportunity. I’ll come again.

Because we’d mostly visited southern Onsen towns such as Zao, Akayu, and Kaminoyama, this year we decided to head north and went to Hijiori, Semi, and Ginzan. Hijiori had come up as an option before, but I had somehow assumed it was a remote, quiet, minor Onsen area. I was surprised to find it’s a rare Onsen town these days that still has real energy. While Zao and Akayu have largely turned into shuttered streets and feel like each place is operating separately for its own target guests, Hijiori Onsen has a welcoming style where the whole town hosts visitors together. The shops were lively too—I was truly moved to see that the best of the Showa-era Onsen town atmosphere still remains. I believe Yushin no Yado is family-run with additional staff; everyone was kind and warm in their service, so we felt at ease throughout our stay. And we were amazed by both the quantity and quality of the meals! It was so lavish I thought my stomach might burst—packed with mountain delicacies. I wished I had a bigger appetite. I felt bad leaving anything uneaten, and when I saw someone at a nearby table being served an enormous watermelon, I nearly despaired. However, they were clearly paying attention to how quickly we were eating; since I eat slowly, they switched mine to a smaller portion for me, which impressed me. As a couple who don’t drink alcohol much at all, strongly seasoned dishes meant to pair with drinks are delicious but make us need lots of water; if possible, it would be helpful to receive a pitcher of cold water once it’s clear we won’t be ordering beverages. The saltiness makes us thirsty—we end up drinking a lot of water and getting full before finishing the wonderful food. The private reserved Onsen in the annex offered as a guest perk had different water quality from the main bath area (which made it fun). It seems this Accommodation borrows the bathhouse of an older Ryokan that is no longer operating; because it didn’t lock properly from inside (no key), it made us nervous. Still, enjoying another type of spring water was great.

The meals were absolutely delicious! This is an accommodation I would love to visit again.

This charming Ryokan is perfect for a relaxing stay, offering Onsen-equipped rooms where you can unwind all day. Ideal for a Multiple Night Stay, it allows you to fully enjoy the serene atmosphere. The meals are plentiful and satisfying, even for those with smaller appetites like my daughter and me. Complimentary beer and boiled eggs are available at the gazebo, adding to the delightful experience. What truly stands out is the warm hospitality of all staff members, from young male staff to new female staff, making every interaction soothing from check-in onwards. Located within walking distance of Yufuin's Yunotsubo Kaido Street, this Ryokan is highly recommended if you want to explore Yufuin while enjoying exceptional service and comfort.

Shuttle service to Animal Kingdom and the station was very convenient. The meals were delicious, and I was able to relax. I really appreciated being able to borrow a USB cable. The customer service was excellent.

I stayed at Tsuetate Onsen for the first time. Despite being in a region where space along the river is limited, the parking lot was conveniently located nearby. The staff's hospitality was excellent, making my stay very comfortable, and the meals were absolutely delicious. The accommodation's bath was spacious and impressive, but the highlight was "Kissho no Yu," an outdoor onsen with five open-air baths nestled in the forest—truly a relaxing experience. I would love to stay at this accommodation again!

We were able to relax in both the bath and the Room. The sound of the river was soothing, and it was an Accommodation we would definitely like to stay at again. By the time we left, our skin felt smooth. Thank you very much.

We chose to spend my husband’s birthday relaxing at an Onsen Accommodation and stayed at Satsuki. All the staff were kind, and the interior was lovely, with a wonderful blend of renovated areas and original features. The Onsen truly felt like a moisturizing lotion and was incredibly soothing. The meals were outstanding, thoughtfully incorporating local ingredients, and we were completely satisfied. We also appreciated being able to enjoy plenty of my husband’s favorite beer. They even prepared a birthday-style dessert for him. Breakfast was excellent as well. We would love to visit again with our children. Thank you very much!
