This was my first stay. First of all, I can’t thank the staff enough for their kindness and attentive service, always with a warm smile. I didn’t know how to use the projector at first, so thank you for showing me how. The Onsen was absolutely wonderful. I especially loved the lukewarm bath—it left my skin feeling silky smooth.

It was a wonderful Accommodation, just as the Reviews said! Because it’s located up in the mountains, the air is crisp and clear, and the stars in the night sky are simply beautiful. Even though it was August, the nighttime temperature was around 23°C and pleasantly cool—an ideal summer retreat. Bringing protection against insect bites is recommended. The building itself is old, but the Room is spacious, and everything—including the bath—was impeccably clean, not even a single hair out of place. Every dish was delicious, with just the right portion sizes, and we were extremely satisfied. It had a warm, homey atmosphere that felt like being back at my parents’ house, and meeting an adorable cat at night was so soothing. I’d love to stay again!

The cuisine, room, Onsen, and hospitality were all wonderful at this Ryokan. The price was also very reasonable. It is located about a 5-minute walk from Echigo-Yuzawa Station, and I loved the location as well. I would like to stay here again if I have the chance.

It was a captivating experience, with the Ryokan’s dignified traditional Japanese architecture and its beautiful strolling garden that lets you feel the changing seasons. The historical stories passed down at Yoshino Ryokan were truly fascinating, and I have deep respect for the way it overcame the hardship of the major flood disaster in 2020 and was rebuilt with strength. This time I chose a Plan without dinner, but the Japanese breakfast provided was high quality, and the carefully prepared dishes gave me energy from the morning. The large public bath is small, but quiet and comfortable, allowing me to relax and soothe my fatigue. The warm and kind hospitality of the proprietress and all staff left a strong impression. In a calm atmosphere that has not been overly commercialized for tourism, this is a rare, authentic Ryokan that preserves the charm of good old Japan. With such wonderful offerings, it also delivers excellent value for money—I was truly satisfied. I would love to visit again in another season to enjoy this beautiful garden.

I stayed here this time because I wanted to relax in the Onsen. The large public bath fed by the Shirahata source was especially wonderful. The private bath with Yubatake water was hot, but I could take my time and unwind at my own pace, enjoying it while opening the window to cool off. I had seen in other Reviews that dinner is plentiful, so I held back from trying street food while exploring the area. As rumored, I was very satisfied with both the portion size and the taste. While I was dining, they prepared my futon and also thoughtfully replaced items like teacups and provided iced water—coming back from the Onsen to a refreshing drink of water was truly delightful. Stylish Accommodations such as Resort Hotels are popular these days, but this stay reminded me that a Japanese Ryokan feels most relaxing for Japanese guests. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

We stayed in the Garden Tower at NASPA New Otani with breakfast only (no dinner). We bought food at a nearby supermarket and checked in. I had confirmed in advance that the Room had a microwave, so we were able to enjoy our meal very nicely. The refrigerator was also larger than in a typical Hotel, so there was plenty of space for drinks, and we could even store ice cream after dinner—very satisfying! Even so, I think it’s amazing how affordable it is. The staff were truly wonderful: when they had time, they worked efficiently on other tasks, and if we hesitated even a little about what to do, they would kindly speak to us. I’d love to stay again sometime.

We stayed for one night and two days. The room was compact but very clean, with well-equipped amenities. The bedding was crisp, and the yukata provided in the room was made of sturdy fabric, allowing us to wear it outside comfortably. Each person received two sets of bath towels, along with a bathrobe and pajamas, so we had everything we needed. Since our room included a private open-air onsen, we could enjoy a relaxing soak anytime we wanted. As this accommodation is exclusively for no meals included stays, we were initially concerned about meals; however, its convenient location allowed us to dine out without reservations both in the morning and evening. Even during Obon season, staying here cost only 30,000 yen per person per night—affordable and made for an enjoyable trip!

We stayed with our dog and our family of four. We were moved to see wild deer on the way there. For our small dog, the step up to the sofa was a bit concerning. Having to lay out the futons ourselves on the tatami was a little inconvenient. The pillows were too high for us. The terrace was very pleasant, and our dog happily played on the lawn. Next time, we’d like to book a Multiple Night Stay and relax at a slower pace.

It was a truly wonderful Hotel. We are deeply grateful for the thoughtful care shown by the staff. Thank you for accommodating our difficult Shuttle Service request, for allowing us to enter the room even though we arrived early, and for serving both dinner and breakfast in a private room, which allowed us to enjoy a calm meal. As it was an inexpensive Plan, we feel very appreciative. We would love to visit again.

Thank you for hosting me during my solo trip to Oita. As mentioned in the reviews, I enjoyed the exceptional onsen and delicious meals. The private bath allowed me to relax at my own pace. Dinner included Oita specialties like toriten and ryukyu, along with various other dishes that paired perfectly with beer. The next morning, I received helpful advice about sightseeing after check-out and purchased a ticket for the mushiyu experience at the accommodation, which was slightly discounted. The balance of attentive yet unobtrusive service made my stay very comfortable. If I have the chance to visit Kannawa Onsen again, I would love to stay here. Thank you for everything!

You can enjoy a 24-hour onsen with natural hot spring water flowing directly from the source! The room was a renovated twin room, and the sunken kotatsu was an interesting feature. The beds were fluffy and very comfortable, making for a pleasant stay! For dinner, we had the famous Kiritanpo hot pot served individually in small pots, along with shabu-shabu featuring Kazuno beef and Hachimantai pork—everything was delicious! As mentioned in reviews, there were plenty of options, leaving us fully satisfied. There was also a wide selection of local sake available for tasting. After check-out, I realized I had forgotten something, but they contacted me immediately so I could retrieve it. I truly appreciate their kind assistance! Thank you very much.

The owner was extremely kind, and it was a wonderful Accommodation.

I made a Reservation for a meal course that included a boat-style sashimi platter. When I mentioned at check-in that I planned to try every bath, the front desk staff advised me not to overdo it because I might feel unwell from soaking too much. They were right—I’m glad I didn’t try them all. There were that many baths. For this price, the combination of the meal and the baths was excellent.

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.

We stayed here with three households of our children to celebrate a 60th birthday. Dinner was served in a private dining room, and we were allowed to decorate it, so our family had a wonderful time together. They even lent us a red celebratory vest and prepared a festive ball for the occasion, which made the celebration truly exciting. They also took photos for us, and on departure they gave us not just one print but enough for each household—such thoughtful service in every way. The meals, the Onsen, and the service were all outstanding, making it a truly unforgettable memory. Thank you very much. We are very glad we chose this Accommodation.

To drive along National Route 252 by the Tadami Line, I made a Reservation at this Accommodation in Aizu-Yanaizu, the gateway town. At first, only the No Meals Included Plan was available, but after calling to confirm eligibility for Fukushima travel support discounts, they kindly changed it to a Plan with both dinner and breakfast. The location is excellent in central Yanaizu, and you can park across the street at a free public parking lot. On arrival in the lobby, I was welcomed with an iced coffee welcome drink, and arranging a time for the private open-air bath as well as meal times went smoothly. My Room was a 6-tatami Japanese-style room on the third floor (no elevator). It was more than spacious enough for one person, very clean, and equipped with a sink and refrigerator. The toilet is shared (separate men’s/women’s) on the same floor. For Onsen bathing, there is a private rooftop open-air bath and separate men’s/women’s indoor baths on the fourth floor. The open-air bath feels handmade and doesn’t offer much of a view, but what truly impressed me was the indoor bath: fresh water continuously overflowing from the source (free-flowing), a cloudy sodium chloride spring with abundant volume at just the right temperature—far better quality than expected. Dinner is served at a modern soba restaurant created by renovating a storehouse behind the Accommodation. The main Sarashina soba had great texture and was excellent overall, including the warm chicken-and-burdock dipping broth. That said, it was disappointing that the appetizer tempura had gone cold, and I felt that adding something local such as basashi (horse sashimi) would make it even more satisfying. In that case, choosing No Meals Included and ordering freely from the restaurant menu could also be a good option. Breakfast is prepared in a private room next to the lobby; along with juice or soup, you receive a plate centered on bread and rice. Service is attentive, though opinions may differ on value for money depending on expectations. At 11,000 yen at full price it invites comparison with nearby Accommodations around here; however after discounts my satisfaction level was more than adequate. Above all else،the cleanliness throughout иandthe owner’s sincere、warm hospitality were outstanding—an Accommodation I can recommend even to Tadami Line travelers without а car.

Nozawa Onsen has few accommodations that allow pets. Among them, we had an excellent stay in a spacious log house room, enjoying a relaxing onsen experience. They provided a parking pass for visiting the public baths in town and even allowed us to use the onsen after the trail race the next day. The attentive service was truly appreciated. We look forward to staying here again when we participate in the race next year.

All the staff were very kind, and I had a truly relaxing stay! I was a bit nervous because the sand bath required same-day Reservation, but I was able to use it without any issues. It felt wonderful. The meals were excellent, and I’m glad I chose this Accommodation. There should have been several other guests staying, but it felt like I only ran into people occasionally. I’d love to come again.

Our annual train trip with three couples… this year, Done: Yufuin!! After careful consideration, we visited Pension Naganogou for a preview. The cute Room with neatly arranged beds had a great feel. The baths were private and available anytime, and the open-air bath was the best!! For dinner, all guests gathered on the wooden deck, each around our own table. The main dishes included Bungo beef and charcoal-grilled local chicken, along with salt-grilled ayu sweetfish, dango soup, and many small side dishes—everything was delicious. For dessert, the homemade pudding made by the hostess was amazing. We could also enjoy breakfast outside, making this a very satisfying preview visit. We truly appreciated the Shuttle Service to Yufuin Station as well. We’ll be back in October. Thank you very much.

This Onsen Accommodation is tucked away in the mountains, a short distance from the center of Shima Onsen. Although I hadn’t made a Reservation, they kindly provided Shuttle Service, which was a big help since walking in the extreme heat would have been tough. There are three private-use baths on the first floor. You can use them anytime if available, and you can also check availability online, which is very convenient. The refrigerator had chilled water inside—a nice touch. Drinks can be purchased from the refrigerator on the first floor. There is also one massage chair. The bath amenities were exceptionally well stocked—possibly the best I’ve ever seen—not only shampoo and conditioner, but also shaving foam and facial cleanser, with a wide variety of options. With three baths for a relatively small number of rooms, it felt like they were available whenever I wanted. Because it’s free-flowing natural hot spring water (kakenagashi), I could even bathe late at night. Being able to soak without worrying about others was wonderful. Compared to the Ryokan’s exterior, the dining area was chic, clean, and newly built. The food was delicious and I was very satisfied. I traveled by train and bus, so limited service frequency is a drawback—but aside from that, this is an outstanding Accommodation.
