There is an accommodation located just up the hill of Shiroyama at the eastern edge of the grid-like town. The narrow and steep approach road is one-way, so there’s no need to worry about oncoming traffic. Even large buses were able to make their way up. Although the entrance area of the accommodation is narrow, once you unload your luggage, valet service will take care of parking your car. Walking downhill from the accommodation leads to a main tourist spot, and it’s also conveniently close to the station, making it a great base for exploring. The interior is spacious with intricate design details. The staff are kind and attentive in their interactions. The room faces west with no tall trees obstructing the view, offering a wide panorama of the entire town that can be enjoyed both from inside and from the terrace with an open-air bath. (The view may vary depending on room orientation.) The private open-air bath in each room maintains an ideal temperature all day and night; it’s made of stone and spacious enough for a family to enjoy together. A shower room is conveniently adjacent. On our stay date, fireworks lit up Takayama city, which we watched for about an hour while leaning against the terrace railing. Meals are served in semi-private booth-style seating with sunken kotatsu tables. A quiet group of Western guests dined together in a large hall nearby.

The room was clean and very pleasant. The children felt at home and relaxed. We understood the Goemon bath concept, but the fixed shower and concrete feel were a bit disappointing. Due to the extreme heat during the day, the temperature on the second floor did not cool down enough for sleeping, so we had to sleep on the first floor, which was unfortunate. We would appreciate it if you could consider measures to address the heat on the second floor. The meals and service were excellent, and we were very satisfied. Thank you very much!

The children were delighted, and we had a relaxing time. The ski resort was nearby, and the kitchen was well-equipped, making it a wonderful holiday. We would love to stay here again.

What is glamping like? For us, long-time outdoor campers, it was our first time. It was affordable, the tent was warm, and ingredients were available for purchase at reasonable prices; bringing your own was also OK. If there’s one thing to say, it would be perfect if Kuju Onsen were on-site within the Facility. Thank you for the power of nature.

It’s about a 20-minute drive to Takachiho Gorge, but we chose Kijiya because it’s an onsen Accommodation. We had reserved the first boat ride at Takachiho Gorge the next morning, so we stayed with dinner only. Dinner was delicious, with salt-grilled yamame trout, sashimi, tempura, and more. As expected, the onsen was wonderful. We checked out early in the morning, but it’s a great Accommodation where you can truly relax.

I had been wanting to stay at this highly rated Hotel for some time. In addition to the design, the restaurant and room service were excellent, and the Hotel’s facilities were well maintained, so I was very satisfied. Being able to enjoy records was also a great added value. Thank you very much.

This was my third stay, and as always, the cleanliness and stylish interior made for a very comfortable experience. We stayed for two nights, but on the last day, my entire family didn’t want to leave... It became another wonderful memory this year. The staff's excellent service was greatly appreciated. We look forward to staying again next time! P.S. Regarding the bathroom issue I mentioned in a previous review: when taking a shower, water tends to spill onto the bathroom floor due to gaps in the glass door. Perhaps using adhesive strips or rubber seals available at home improvement stores could help prevent leaks? Additionally, the handheld showerhead cannot be fixed properly as it tilts downward on its own. On our second day, we also couldn’t fill up the bathtub; it seemed like an error where it mistakenly detected that it was already full—pressing "auto" would result in music playing after about a minute and then stopping without filling up the tub. I would appreciate if these issues could be addressed. Thank you for your consideration!

Stayed at Karatsu Kimura Chaya to try squid The squid was very fresh and delicious. The simmered fish head, abalone, and sea bream chazuke for breakfast were all excellent. The view from the window was wonderful, and seeing Karatsu Castle while having breakfast—along with the cherry blossoms in full bloom—made it an unforgettable trip to Karatsu.

I booked this Ryokan two days before my trip to Atami. It is located near Kinomiya Station, which is within walking distance from Atami. The location was excellent, especially being just a few minutes' walk to Kinomiya Shrine. The room was a typical Ryokan style, offering an authentic experience. Although the angle of the room was slightly awkward, I could still catch a glimpse of the sea. This Ryokan also has table tennis facilities, which provided some simple yet enjoyable entertainment. The onsen bath was small but gave a nice onsen experience. However, there were no facial cleansers available, which might be inconvenient for women. I added breakfast to my stay and enjoyed bread, bananas, boiled eggs, fruits, and drinks. While simple in variety, having breakfast at the Ryokan added to the travel atmosphere nicely.

We had a wonderful time in the beautiful garden and Room. My daughter was also very happy. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

I used this property to visit Kaike Onsen to eat crab. I chose to spend a bit more on meals and save on stays, so I used this property. There was also the option of a business hotel, but choosing this property was the right decision. There are comments about thin walls, and while that might be true, I didn't notice it because there happened to be no one making loud noises. I might have been lucky. The onsen bath area has a narrow and cluttered changing room, but there is a cypress semi-open-air bath (for one person), which was pleasant. There is a well-equipped kitchen, so I was able to prepare my own breakfast, which was nice. I would like to use it again in the summer.

Some Reviews mentioned that the place “wasn’t cleaned thoroughly,” and my companion was a bit worried, but once we stepped inside, it was a calm and relaxing space. It felt like some of the harsh Reviews were expecting Ryokan-level standards even though we weren’t paying Ryokan-level prices. We also enjoyed delicious meals at Kitchen Yorokonde, located a few kilometers away and run by the same manager as the Accommodation, which made our trip to Sado very satisfying.

We stayed as a family. The property has been beautifully renovated, well-maintained, and we had a very comfortable stay. We would love to visit again.

The building was new and comfortable. However, the location was not ideal.

The covered balcony was perfect for BBQs. It was convenient to return indoors quickly to grab ingredients or drinks. Even without our own BBQ equipment, we managed easily with charcoal, fire starters, and a lighter. The disposable grill net and not having to clean up the charcoal were also very helpful. As a suggestion, providing mattresses, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, instant coffee, or tea would make the stay even better. Thank you for hosting us!

A must-experience traditional townhouse. We stayed for 3 nights with 4 people. The building is new and functional, with luxurious decor that delights the eyes at every turn. The bathroom features a modern unit bath, and the beautiful tiles on the walls made it a relaxing space to spend time in. There are toilets on both the first and second floors, so even with a larger group, there was no inconvenience. Despite visiting during a cold season, the underfloor heating kept us warm, avoiding the typical chill often associated with townhouses. If I may add one suggestion, chairs or sofas would have been nice. Since it was tatami flooring and a sunken kotatsu table setup, it might feel slightly less comfortable for foreign guests.
