The Room was spacious, bright, and clean, and we were very satisfied. We stayed as a group of six across two generations including children, and the 2LDK layout was perfect. Since two of us are smokers, we were also able to relax and smoke in the Room, which made everything even better. We would like to stay again. We checked various sites, but in the end IKYU offered the best price and felt the most reliable.

Both dinner and breakfast can be served in a private dining room. Dinner features a delicious artisan course meal made with local ingredients. Every staff member was wonderful, which made our trip even more satisfying. At breakfast, they noticed that one of the four of us is left-handed and thoughtfully set out left-handed chopsticks and a chopstick rest—truly professional attention to detail. The Facility is also well maintained and spotless. The farewell was heartfelt, and our children were moved as well. I felt this Hotel has an exceptionally high level of staff. I was surprised to receive first-class service at such an affordable rate. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

The refreshing host was truly soothing and put me at ease. They kindly accommodated my special meal requests, and the draft beer served in an ice-cold beer mug was excellent. This is an Accommodation I would love to stay at again.

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.

This is a Hotel where you can truly experience Aso! The five peaks of Aso seen from the 7th-floor panoramic bath were amazing. Being able to enjoy the Onsen while looking at the beautiful mountains was the best. As mentioned in other Reviews, the initial explanation at the front desk felt brief, but they provided the minimum necessary information, so it wasn’t a problem. Our Room faced the town side, but it had a nice view of the outer rim mountains.

My husband’s favorite Accommodation. This time, the three of us stayed here. As always, the plentiful meals and the Onsen were flawless. The Room has also been renovated and is very clean. If I had to mention one thing, I wish the bathing hours were a little longer. We go in about three times, but there isn’t quite enough time to relax at night. In the morning, we can soak at a leisurely pace, which we really appreciate. We will surely stay again. Thank you very much.

In conclusion, we stayed with two meals included, and it was absolutely the right choice. This is Hoshidare Accommodation. From the compact exterior, you enter using the password sent in advance by email, and you’re greeted by a wonderful entrance with white gravel! There are handwritten message cards from the manager everywhere, and although you don’t meet anyone in person, it really feels like a warm welcome. The Room was just the right size, and it also had a washer-dryer and a humidifying air purifier. Amenities included loungewear, yukata robes, and bathrobes—and it was my first time ever having two bath towels per person. Meals are self-serve for heating and plating, so we fumbled a bit at first, but preparing everything while chatting was fun too. The presentation was gorgeous, and there was more than enough food. I was worried about how many drinks would be available, but there were plenty as well. They even put a name label on our bottle of sparkling wine. I was impressed by how delicious the tap water was—smooth with no harshness at all. The bath is an alkaline hot spring with free-flowing source water; it was so amazing that I went in again and again. The hair dryer is Dyson—definitely exciting—and they also provided various face masks and lotions. The good-quality ice cream after dinner was pure bliss. Even the main dish at breakfast—the homemade Sendai beef stewed curry—was incredibly delicious... Overall it was fantastic, so I’d absolutely like to stay again. If I had to mention one thing: the pre-stay email arrived late morning on the day before check-in, which made me worry whether my Reservation had gone through—but since the site clearly says they’ll email by the day before, it’s not an issue. Also, I wasn’t sure which plate to use for curry—I hesitated over that one! I definitely want to come back again.

My daughter stayed with two friends she hadn't seen in a long time. They said the private bath was excellent. The breakfast was also very luxurious and delicious. The owner was very kind and recommended great restaurants for dinner since they hadn’t included it in their stay, making their experience even more enjoyable. They were extremely happy with their time here.

Finding a Hotel when traveling with a dog can be quite difficult, but Shikisou was very dog-friendly and comfortable to stay at. We booked two Rooms, and it was very easy to go back and forth between them, which made our stay even better. We were surprised by how much food was served—more than we expected. Everything was delicious. As for the bath, which we were also looking forward to, it was taken over by day-use visitors, and we were met with some complaints. We went to bathe around 9:00 p.m., and I assume they were locals. Even though we wanted to relax in the Onsen after a long trip, it felt uncomfortable, so we ended up leaving early. That is the only reason for the lower rating.

Following our stay on Ishigaki Island, we stayed here for two more nights. Since APA uses the same system, it felt reassuring. In the morning, the private open-air bath was very relaxing. For dinner, we had a great time at a restaurant featured on a flyer available at the Hotel. As I was traveling alone, I really appreciated it. I would like to stay again.

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.

During this Go To Travel campaign, I stayed at about 13 properties, and the meals here were the best—just as you’d expect from a kaiseki Ryokan. Everyone should visit at least once.

We stayed on the Couple Plan, and we truly appreciated several services that were not listed in the Plan details, which were extremely helpful for sightseeing in Kusatsu. Services not mentioned in the Plan details: - Shuttle Service to Yubatake after dinner - Free yukata rental - Drop-off to the terminal at check-out - Complimentary coffee, chocolates, and massage chairs in the lounge - Free ice cream in the freezer In addition, both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with great attention to detail throughout—from presentation and side dishes to cooking methods. If we visit Kusatsu again, we would definitely like to stay here again.

No matter how many times I visit, the Onsen is outstanding. The water temperature is truly perfect, and I can soak for as long as I like. It feels wonderfully soothing on the body and makes you want to immerse yourself completely. The Facility itself has a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, with tatami Rooms and sleeping on futons instead of beds—an experience that feels refreshingly different from everyday life. Breakfast tastes like home-style cooking from a countryside mom, and everything is delicious. The staff can communicate in English even for international guests, so service is fine. Since there are no similar Ryokan near Beppu Station, this Accommodation is highly recommended if you’re looking for a Showa-era vibe and great Onsen.

The dishes were well-seasoned and delicious. The variety of dishes was just right and very tasty, making it a perfect experience. Additionally, the desserts such as pudding, ice cream, and zenzai were delightful. The staff's service was excellent as well. Thank you very much!

Three friends and I stayed here. Although it is a guesthouse, we were glad the Room had a private bath and toilet. Dinner came with crab and grilled fish and was delicious, and we were very satisfied with breakfast as well. We would like to stay again.

I visited during a solo motorcycle trip. Since it was near a ski resort, it seemed off-season, so there were few guests, and I was able to relax and fully enjoy the Onsen. Although I chose a no-meal Plan, I received complimentary coffee and freshly baked croissants in the morning. The croissants were freshly baked and delicious. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

Next door is Sabakoyu, and across the street is the historic Nakamura Ryokan. At night, we enjoyed an in-room meal, then were moved by the owner’s shamisen performance and kouta songs. In the morning, the sunrise glowed through the shoji screens; when we opened them, we found a perfect location. The steam rising from the ohitsu rice at breakfast whetted our appetite even more. We were seen off by the proprietress and owner—hospitality that makes us certain to return.

Everything was excellent, including the surrounding environment. The staff and the proprietress were all impeccable in their hospitality. Thank you very much. We will visit again in November to see the autumn leaves.

It was a very beautiful place, the food was delicious, and we had a very comfortable stay. If we had known earlier that the number of private baths differs between the lobby building and the Accommodation building, we could have enjoyed it even more.
