From the moment we arrived, this was a special entire-home rental Hotel that felt less like “staying overnight” and more like truly inhabiting the space. The view of Oku-Kawaguchiko through the large windows changed throughout the day: in the evening, a quiet lake surface with shadows of trees; at night, forest air with almost no sound; and in the morning, soft light streaming onto a misty lake. It was the kind of place where you just want to keep watching the scenery. The interior felt luxurious yet calming, with thoughtful details in everything from lighting and furniture to sound. It naturally made us want to slow down—cooking with a beer in hand, enjoying fresh air on the terrace after the sauna—and even while spending time together, there was an unhurried sense of space. What stood out most was the morning kayaking experience. Paddling out onto a quiet Lake Kawaguchi before many people were around felt incredible. The water was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forest. It felt less like sightseeing and more like we were floating alone in nature—easily my most memorable moment of this stay. The Facility side was also very comfortable: with well-stocked kitchenware and amenities, we could enjoy high-quality time without much preparation. This isn’t just an Accommodation for sleeping—it’s a place where the experience itself changes depending on the season and how you spend your time. Next time I’d love to do a Multiple Night Stay and soak up this atmosphere even more slowly.

I chose to stay here after seeing photos of the cute Room and the luxurious crab dishes. I was worried because heavy snow was forecast, but since my Reservation wasn’t made through the Ryokan’s website, I was told I couldn’t make any changes and a Cancellation Fee would apply, so I went ahead anyway. The trip there was fine, but the trip back was really tough. I managed to enjoy visiting the public baths, and I was very satisfied with the lavish crab cuisine. Even though I thought having sukiyaki in the morning might be a bit heavy, I finished it all! The large public bath is small, but it had a ReFa shower head and hair dryer, plus a hot stone sauna area, so I enjoyed it. There were also various yukata to choose from, which was nice. I’d like to visit again on a day with good weather.

It felt like stepping into the world of Anne of Green Gables (though I believe Anne is from Canada...), and it was a wonderful space. The Room also had an antique feel, and my daughter was absolutely delighted. The open-air bath requires a Reservation. Unfortunately, because it’s so popular, we couldn’t use it this time, which was disappointing. Next time I’ll make a Reservation earlier (haha). Since the weather wasn’t great, I’d love to visit again during rose season.

We checked in early and were able to relax until dinner. The meals were beautifully presented, with great taste and satisfying portions. The timing of each course was also excellent. We always felt that the staff were quietly looking out for us. We hardly ran into other guests, so we could truly enjoy our own time. The only issue was that when returning to the Room at night, it was dark near the entrance and difficult to unlock the door. We would definitely like to stay again.

Our family stayed in Shimizu for two nights. Needless to say, the Accommodation building itself was wonderful, but the atmosphere of the entire surrounding village was just as charming. Even before our stay, we started with a hands-on sweets-making experience using agar, and after check-out we wrapped up with a tour of Irisen’s agar factory. Our children loved agar so much that even after returning home from our trip, they’ve been enjoying making desserts every week with the dried agar we bought there. The local regional cuisine we ordered through catering was also delicious, and it was a real treat to enjoy dishes freshly prepared in the kitchen from early morning. It’s a place we’d love to visit again in another season.

This was my fifth stay. Despite the high price, it was the worst so far. What was good: The Onsen hopping was as good as always. What was bad: At dinner, I ordered a draft beer, but it took a long time to arrive. When I rang the bell to call staff, the female attendant said, “Was it not served yet?” in an extremely unfriendly manner. Also, although I requested the same Room as last time, I was given one where the sink and toilet were in the same space. There were also steep steps inside, which was difficult for elderly guests. There were no power outlets near the bed, which was inconvenient. The TV couldn’t play YouTube (even though I have an account), which was very disappointing. It felt like an ordinary Room with only a massage chair. I will think twice about staying again next time.

All the food was delicious, and the staff were very kind. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your hospitality. This is an Accommodation I would love to stay at again. It is located right in front of Lake Shirakaba, and we really enjoyed a quiet early-morning walk by the lake. We came to see the daylilies, but there were plenty of other things to enjoy as well. The owner couple were warm and welcoming, which made us feel at ease. The dinner staff were also efficient and cheerful, making our time even more enjoyable.

I’m not comfortable with noisy, bustling places, so I chose to stay here. The meals were delicious, and the hostess’s warm smile was truly soothing. Breakfast was also very satisfying, and I would love to stay again. I was able to relax and spend a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

This is the Accommodation I stayed at for my fan activities. It had a retro, very calming atmosphere. When I told the staff it was for fan activities, they prepared the same yukata that my favorites had worn (they said it’s not in use now, though). For meals, we had tofu dishes and additionally ordered beef shabu-shabu, which was very filling. A river runs alongside the property, and rather than a gentle babble it sounded more like heavy rain (maybe because it had rained the day before?), but it still felt refreshing in its own way. The Onsen left my skin smooth and kept me warm. I regret not being able to join the morning service due to lack of time, but it became a wonderful memory. Thank you for taking care of us.

I stayed for five nights to relax. I could enjoy the natural hot-spring Onsen anytime, and it was so pleasant that I had a comfortable stay. I was also surprised that the menu changed every day, and everything was delicious—I was very satisfied. Above all, everyone at the Accommodation was kind, and their warmth made me feel truly at ease and completely refreshed.

I stayed here after hiking. The Accommodation doesn’t have an Onsen, but there are plenty of Onsens nearby, so it wasn’t a problem. It’s an old building, but it was very clean, and the hostess was friendly and easy to talk to, so I could relax even as a solo traveler. It’s rare to find this price with breakfast and dinner included. I’m satisfied.

I’ve stayed here twice as a solo traveler! Each Room is in a separate annex and comes with a 24-hour free-flowing Onsen, so I loved being able to enjoy it anytime. The bath was also large enough for several people, which was amazing! The Room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Meals were served in a private dining room, so privacy was fully maintained and I could relax and enjoy them. The seafood, meat, and rice were all delicious—I was completely full and very satisfied! The service was pleasant as well; it’s a wonderful Accommodation. I’d love to stay again!

We stayed at TATEGU -YA for two nights. It was spacious and comfortable for two people. The renovation was wonderful, thoughtfully incorporating valuable carvings as well as pillars, doors, and glass windows originally used by the joinery shop into everyday living. Compared to our last visit (three years ago), we felt there were more younger people around town, giving it a lively atmosphere. This is an Accommodation and a town we look forward to visiting again.

The food was very delicious, just as described in the Review.

This was my first stay. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of side dishes and generous portions, which was great. The meat in particular was delicious. From the Room, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan. The bath is not an Onsen, but it is spacious, and morning bathing is also available. It was disappointing that the Accommodation did not have a refrigerator and only provided 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner.

I had been looking forward to my Kyoto trip after a long time away. Thank you to all the staff for kindly welcoming me even though it was before check-in time. Thanks to you, I was happy to complete all the temple and shrine visits I had planned. During my stay at the Hotel, I enjoyed a quiet and peaceful time. The delicious meals I had both morning and evening were truly satisfying. If I have the opportunity to visit Kyoto again, I would be delighted to stay with you again. Thank you very much.

This was our fourth stay, visiting at the end of summer with our two dogs. We love how delicious the course dinner is. The Room is clean, and we’re very satisfied with the private bath as well! It seems to be run by brothers, and they are calm, kind, and very pleasant to talk with. We come once a year, and we’d love to visit again.

Our three-generation family stayed in two cottages with seven people. The evening BBQ was excellent, with a generous amount of high-quality ingredients and even marshmallows for dessert. The Sasebo burger for breakfast was also delicious, made in collaboration with a famous local shop, so we could enjoy it without having to go out. The amenities were well stocked and very nice, but it was disappointing that there was no bathtub. We hope an Onsen Facility will open nearby.

We stayed for one night as a couple. From the entrance, the atmosphere was charming, and we felt a sense of escape from the ordinary as soon as we stepped inside. The hospitality was polite yet not overly formal, making it very comfortable. There were three private Onsen baths with natural hot spring water, allowing us to relax at our own pace. Dinner was served in a private room separate from our accommodation, and both dinner and breakfast were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The explanations about the meals were also thorough. The lounge was never crowded, and with an all-inclusive service, we enjoyed carefully selected beverages such as beer, sake, plum wine, juice, and coffee. It’s an accommodation I would love to revisit with my beloved family again.
