The high-floor bay view with separate living and bedroom areas was excellent. The TV offered access to YouTube, TVer, and many other content options, making the time spent indoors very enjoyable. It was unfortunate that the loose cash I dropped inside the Hotel was not found, but overall, the Hotel was great. It would have been even better if the amenities included a brush instead of a comb.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. What we liked We were able to complete the check-in process as soon as we arrived. We could use the pool both before check-in and after check-out. The pool changing room was fully air-conditioned. The meals were delicious and very carefully prepared. What was disappointing We would have appreciated having hand towels provided. There were only bath towels available, so it was difficult to dry our hands after washing.

The view of Matsuyama Castle was great, and it looked especially beautiful at sunset. The Room was also clean. I’m not a fan of unit baths, so having the bath and toilet separate made my stay comfortable. However, I would have liked a wash basin in the bathroom.

The Onsen and the food were both wonderful. The staff were also very kind. The building is quite old, but it was thoroughly cleaned and kept very tidy. The Okami theater show was a lot of fun. It wasn’t a one-woman performance by the Okami; it was a show created together with many people. Many young performers around 20 years old also came on stage and showcased various acts with the Okami. It felt like they had practiced a great deal, and we were told they are all students from Yamaguchi University. We also heard that senior students teach the acts to juniors, passing them down over time. This is a Ryokan loved by the local community. It was an amazing, one-of-a-kind trip. I would love to visit again. It was my first trip to Yamaguchi, and it became a truly wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay. The views of the Chichibu townscape from both the Room and the dining area were wonderful. In the main building, Rooms on the 2nd floor have a roof below that reduces the sense of openness, so I recommend choosing the 3rd or 4th floor if you stay in the main building. For dinner, I had a Japanese-Western kaiseki-style course; since the price difference is minimal, I personally preferred it over the buffet. Overall, it’s a Hotel with great value for money.

Located in a secluded area with an exceptional view from the window! The atmosphere, reminiscent of a place where bears might appear, adds to the charm!

The building is old, but it feels like it has been renovated as much as possible. The elevator is old, but the Room feels nice. The toilet is modern, and the bath is separate and spacious—great for relaxing. The water pressure is low, about two-thirds of what I have at home. For parking, you can choose either JPY 1,000 with free in-and-out access, or the JPY 900 lot across the street with a 24-hour lock-in system. I appreciated how the front desk staff tried their best to be kind, so I also made sure to use the Room as neatly as possible. As for the large public bath... well... yeah (lol).

All staff are Japanese and very courteous. Their service is excellent, so you can feel at ease. The breakfast here is outstanding!

It was raining when we arrived, and the nearby parking lots were full, but staff were waiting at the entrance and assisted us. The Onsen had different temperatures in each bath, so we could relax at our own pace. The water quality was also excellent. The meals focused on locally sourced ingredients, and we enjoyed a wide variety of dishes. We had a very relaxing stay.

We stayed with my uncle and aunt and enjoyed a great deal with the Iwate discount. It was our first visit in two years. The interior had been updated beautifully, and we enjoyed the welcome drink. There was a wide variety of food. We savored Iwate’s three famous noodle dishes from the morning, and the selection of sweets was excellent as well. The Onsen offered not only a large public bath but also a Jomon-style bath. My husband was especially delighted with the free karaoke. We were very happy to spend such an enjoyable time together as a group of four. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

I made a reservation two days before my stay. Staying from Friday to Saturday, even with no meals included, I was satisfied with the price being under 7,000 yen. The antique-style furniture gave a sense of history and elegance, making it a lovely room. Although it was cold and snowing lightly, I strolled through the Japanese garden and found it to be a charming place. Choosing drinks (packs) and amenities was enjoyable and added to the experience. Recently, I've been staying at business hotels often, so staying here was a refreshing change of pace. The front desk staff were very pleasant—thank you!

We stayed during the Obon holiday. The Room was spacious, the meals were delicious, and my elderly mother was very satisfied. All of the international staff were kind and played with our children.

Breakfast was served buffet-style, featuring mainly Nagoya specialties along with Aichi local products (such as nori seaweed). Check-out is at 11:00, so I could relax in the Room after eating. There is also a partnered parking lot, and guests can park for free during their stay. I don’t think there was a large public bath, but I could stretch out and relax in the bathtub in the Room. I had a very meaningful stay. Thank you very much.

Not only the Room but the entire property was very clean and well maintained, which made our stay very pleasant. If you go to the bath at 6:00 a.m., something good might happen.

After reading the Reviews, I wasn’t sure whether to choose the Main Building or the West Building, but I’m glad I chose the Main Building because getting to the baths and meals was smooth and convenient. The Room has been renovated, and it was great that the toilet is separate. The soundproofing is also solid, and everything feels clean. Even during Obon, we were able to have breakfast without any waiting time. You can also check how crowded it is from your Room—this really is a wonderful long-established Hotel. I appreciate all the efforts being made here, and I would love to stay again.

Choose a Hotel near the cable car entrance to the Alpine Route—it's surprisingly close, so we were able to depart at a relaxed pace.

We stayed during the summer vacation period. There were many families with children, and the pool was crowded, but we still enjoyed it. As other Reviews mention, the in-house Facilities are undeniably dated, but everything felt clean and it was a pleasant stay. There may not be many power outlets. The air conditioning wasn’t very strong, so the Room felt warm. I didn’t have high expectations for breakfast, but it exceeded them—the open-kitchen omelets were delicious, and I especially liked the chilled yuzu ramen. For those who enjoy a drink in the morning, there was also wine available, so I think you can relax. If you’re looking to have fun nearby with access to a pool included, this is a good option. We would like to stay again.

This was our second 2-night, 3-day stay since New Year’s. We love the breakfast buffet in the second-floor banquet hall. There is a wide variety, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into it. Sometimes the omelets were brought to our table and sometimes not (understandable during busy times). The atmosphere is not cold or overly businesslike, and the staff—pleasantly attentive without being overly formal—made our stay very comfortable. Thank you again for everything.

We stayed again this year, following our visit last year. While many nearby Ryokan have closed, this property has been renovated and reborn with excellent Facility—I felt it is the best in Yuhama. In particular, the Onsen was pure free-flowing hot spring water from the source, with no added water or heating, and it was wonderfully comfortable—I kept sweating for a while even after bathing. Since our Room had a splendid private free-flowing Onsen bath, we enjoyed it many times. Unfortunately, there was light rain and the sea was rough with whitecaps, so swimming was prohibited. However, we are not really at an age to play in the ocean anymore, so we enjoyed walking around the Hotel area instead. There were about ten cats nearby; they were friendly and fun to be around. They had ear marks indicating they had been spayed/neutered, so it seemed the town manages them well. It left us with a good impression of a town that cares for animals. Meals were different from last year: they served them efficiently with fewer staff in a spacious Room renovated from an annex building. The quality felt slightly below last year’s level, though that may simply be personal preference. It also made us feel how challenging operations can be after COVID. We were happy to have a chance to speak in the morning with refined people who seemed to be the proprietress and her son. We would like to visit KAMEYA again next year as well—a place proud of its 200-year history. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Despite the very low open price, the meals—such as the pilgrim menu—were generous in portion, and every dish was carefully prepared and wonderfully delicious. Both the Room and the entire property were thoroughly cleaned, so we had a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much.
