I stayed for one night and two days. Rooms & Amenities → The in-room open-air bath was clean and very relaxing. Hospitality & Service → I was warmly welcomed from check-in, and the staff responded pleasantly whenever I needed anything, which made me very happy. Onsen Baths → The large public bath was spacious, and the outdoor open-air bath area was also clean. I also appreciated the service of having drinks and towels available in front of the sauna room. Dining → I only had breakfast, but it was delicious.

This was an Accommodation I had been interested in for some time. The hot water was pleasantly warm, so I could soak and relax at length. The meals were excellent, and I also ordered grilled sesame tofu as an extra. It was exquisite. Overall, the service was very good, and I would like to visit again.

We stayed for one night on a Kyoto trip while it was still quite hot, also to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was our first visit to Sumiyasan in more than ten years, and we were welcomed with genuine warmth. The renovated room was spacious, and the bath was wonderfully relaxing—so we were able to take a soak soon after arriving and unwind. Every dish was outstanding and beautifully presented; we truly enjoyed the meal. By chance, on the day we stayed there was a tea gathering, and we were even treated to tea. This is an inn we would love to stay at again.

Mr./Ms. Chitose stayed with us for the third time this year. One of this Accommodation’s highlights is the meals, but above all, it’s the quality of the hot spring water. We look forward to visiting again.

This is a hotel that never changes—always full of warm hospitality. As I’ve grown older along with the hotel, my schedule during stays has become more relaxed, and having Brighton as a place where I can truly unwind lets me enjoy Kyoto while properly recovering from the day’s fatigue. This time, Daitoku-ji and Ninna-ji were wonderful, and the concierge also recommended the Former Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa and a nearby restaurant. To the north of the hotel, there are many places that feel quintessentially Kyoto. I also stay at hotels in Europe such as Paris and Florence, but this mid-sized hotel has a unique sense of comfort—so much so that I extended my stay by one night this time. The bell staff’s warmth is always outstanding as well. It’s my favorite hotel.

We stayed for one night during the Obon holiday period. The front desk staff warmly welcomed us. The Room felt very new and was impeccably clean, so we had a very comfortable stay. It was great to have both yukata and pajamas available. They also quickly exchanged the yukata size for us, which was very helpful. We headed to the bath right away. The large public bath was very clean, and we loved that the shower kept running without having to press the button repeatedly! Bathing while looking at the castle was wonderful. The hair dryers in the changing area were ReFa. The muscat vinegar drink in the post-bath lounge was so delicious that even our children—who usually find fruit vinegar drinks too sour—went back for seconds. Since our Room included lounge access, we used the massage chair there, enjoyed some drinks, and felt refreshed. Also, the bed in our Room was incredibly comfortable—I may have slept better than I ever have while traveling. I think it’s a great fit for those who like pillows that are fluffy, soft, and low-profile. The next morning we had breakfast at Mimasaka Kitchen. We already knew it had a good reputation, but it exceeded our expectations—the lightly seasoned side dishes and wide variety of desserts that weren’t overly sweet were more than satisfying. Even better were the onigiri made by one of the staff members—perfectly light and fluffy—and our whole family couldn’t stop praising them. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this Accommodation. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us during our stay.

The view from the room’s large, open windows is breathtaking. You can even see the leaves just beginning to turn, and it’s a scene you could watch forever. Dinner was served by the window as well, and we enjoyed it at dusk with the chorus of autumn insects as background music. The dishes featured mainly local ingredients, and everything was delicious—you could really tell each item had been carefully prepared with time and care. The abalone at dinner and the octopus at breakfast were simmered to a perfect tenderness, and the seafood in particular—soft-shelled turtle soup, sweet shrimp, blackthroat seaperch (nodoguro), and more—was outstanding. The sake paired with the meal was an exceptional selection that you likely rarely come across, and it matched perfectly all the way through to the final dish of beef simmered with Japanese peppercorns; we thoroughly enjoyed that pairing as well. The hot spring was also wonderfully comfortable—at just the right temperature that you can stay in for ages. It rained unfortunately the next day, but while waiting for the shuttle bus we heard a chorus of frogs from somewhere (they really do sing in unison!), which was soothing too. We’ll be back again.

We stay here every year in early summer. It’s quiet, and we can relax at our own pace while enjoying the in-room bath whenever we like. The property is close to the museum, and after checking out we always stop by the museum and then head home by walking down through Gora Park. As seniors, we’ve been eating less over time, but the portion sizes here are always just right, and above all, each dish is carefully prepared and truly delicious. The staff are always smiling, with very polite service and language, so we can enjoy our stay comfortably and with peace of mind. It’s probably busy during the autumn foliage season and around New Year’s holidays, but we’re thinking of trying it next time.

I stayed here about 10 years ago and had always hoped to come back someday! After being transferred for work and moving to the Hokuriku area, I was finally able to return as I’d wished. As always, we received a warm welcome from the moment we arrived. My memory is a bit hazy, but I feel like the restaurant may have been renovated!! After soaking in the hot spring, my skin felt silky smooth; I warmed up from the core and slept very well! The crab miso from the optional red snow crab add-on was unbelievably delicious—I was truly impressed!

The breathtaking view of Lake Kanna from the room. The beautifully designed private bath. It was a truly soothing and relaxing inn. The ornaments and decorations placed throughout showed thoughtful attention to detail, and everyone, including the staff, treated us with great care and courtesy. This was our first stay here. We’re grateful for this wonderful discovery—and we now have one more place we’d love to return to.

The modern Japanese-Western style room was very comfortable, and we appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail for small children, such as pushing the beds together and limiting the height of the cushions. The meals were excellent, and the dessert pudding was especially delicious—I wanted to buy some to take home as a souvenir. Kinosaki in the rain also had a charming atmosphere, and we were very satisfied.

I have wonderful memories of the Accommodation’s atmosphere and hospitality from my first stay, and this time I returned for the first time in seven years. I heard that during the COVID period you improved the parking area and the path to the Accommodation, and it was even easier to access than before. The atmosphere is still just as lovely, making it perfect for a relaxing stay. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. I especially recommend the spiny lobster sashimi and the simmered golden eye snapper. This time, I also asked in advance for a birthday surprise for my friend, and you kindly accommodated my request. My friend was truly delighted, and I’m so glad I asked. Thank you very much for your pleasant hospitality and service. Above all, one of Hana Noren’s greatest charms is Toi Onsen, which helped melt away my everyday fatigue. At night I enjoyed the bath in my Room, and in the morning I woke up early to use the private bath. I truly love this time spent forgetting daily noise—the sound of flowing Onsen water and birdsong brought exceptional comfort. Thank you again for another wonderful stay. I was completely satisfied with everything. Next time, I hope to return again sooner. Thank you very much!

Soaking in wonderfully hot water heated with firewood, we were able to relax and truly enjoy the essence of a hot spring inn. Above all, we were impressed by the meals. The vegetables and fish were very fresh, showing great care in the ingredients, and at breakfast we had the first-time experience of grilling fish ourselves and enjoying it piping hot. There was also a wide variety of dishes, and everything went perfectly with rice. We also loved being able to dine in a private room without worrying about others, at our own pace. I immediately recommended it to friends.　　　It’s now one of the hot spring inns I definitely want to visit again.

While Accommodations with Onsen and breakfast and dinner included are wonderful, we were hoping for a stay that felt more like living locally. We stayed as a couple, and the simple layout—kitchen, dining area, bedroom, toilet, and shower—was impressive and made for a very comfortable stay. The owner’s mural was gentle and blended beautifully with the interior, creating a lovely atmosphere. We were told that in winter all rooms have underfloor heating so you can stay comfortable even in short sleeves, so we’d love to visit again in another season. There’s an OGINO supermarket nearby as well as a butcher shop; we enjoyed basashi and relaxed with Yamanashi wine (the kitchen knife wasn’t very sharp, but honestly it felt safer that way). Partway through our stay, the owner stopped by to check on us and shared stories about life at Lake Yamanaka—more than anything else, that became our favorite memory and made us feel at ease. It was a truly wonderful stay. Thank you very much.

I stayed here because I wanted to enjoy hot spring hopping in Nyuto Onsenkyo. I arrived before check-in, but they kindly lent me towels for the hot spring tour, which I really appreciated. Check-in was smooth, and the room was spacious and clean, so I could relax and stay very comfortably. What impressed me most was being able to enjoy two different types of hot spring water—Nyuto Onsen and Tazawako Kogen—in one hotel. The open-air bath was also wonderful, and I could fully enjoy soaking in the midst of nature that’s unique to Nyuto Onsenkyo. That said, the open-air bath at night was quite dark, and I felt a bit uneasy going in alone. A little more lighting around the footing and surroundings would make it even more relaxing and safe. The breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent as well. Not only was there a wide selection, but each dish felt carefully prepared, and everything I tried was delicious. It was such a satisfying meal that I couldn’t help wanting to try a bit of everything. Nyuto Onsenkyo has many charming traditional inns, each with its own appeal. Among them, Kyukamura stands out for the well-equipped facilities and ease of staying that come with a larger hotel, making it a place where you can feel at ease throughout your visit. For anyone who wants to enjoy the atmosphere of hidden hot springs and onsen hopping while still spending their time at the hotel in comfort and relaxation, this is a highly recommended place to stay.

We stopped by during a drive trip to Mt. Aso. We traveled with our 1-year-old child, and we really appreciated the thoughtful consideration for meals. The food was delicious, and the open-air bath was excellent. We would love to visit again if we have the opportunity.

Being welcomed back with “Welcome home” always puts me at ease from the moment I arrive at the front desk. It was very crowded during the Silver Week holidays, but even so, the staff’s warm hospitality—such as wiping my rain-soaked suitcase with a spotless white towel—meant so much to me. The bath was just right, and as always, the meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Whether it was the food or the wine, I truly enjoyed a deeply satisfying time. I have an intense workload ahead through next year, but when I’m worn out again, I’d love to come back for some relaxation.

Once again, it was a relaxing and enjoyable trip. My friends who visited for the first time all loved it and had a great time. The meals were delicious again, and we ate too much. The shuttle bus was driven carefully, so we felt safe riding it. We will visit again in a different season. Thank you very much.

We had a truly wonderful stay. That said, this may be minor, but I’d like to mention two points I noticed. 1. It would be great if the bath towels and other linens were upgraded to ones more fitting for a top-tier ryokan. 2. The razor was a premium five-blade type for an accommodation, but the handle was a bit too thick and difficult to use when shaving upward. Even so, it was an excellent ryokan and we were very satisfied.

The staff’s hospitality, the live kitchen at dinner, the private open-air bath, and the manga library—everything was wonderful and made for a great trip. Thank you very much.
