I booked at a great price with a coupon, so I wasn’t expecting much, but I was very happy that the meal included grilled salt ayu. I recently stayed at Suimeikan in Gero, but they didn’t serve ayu. All the staff were pleasant and made me feel relaxed. I visit every year to pay my respects at the grave, so I’ll stay here again.

Despite the rain, we truly appreciated being picked up when we arrived at the Accommodation and dropped off when we left, which made us feel very welcome. The Onsen water left our skin silky smooth, and we enjoyed a very relaxing bath. We also thoroughly enjoyed our meal in a private room. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

I accidentally made a Reservation for a smoking room, but thank you very much for changing it to non-smoking. I truly appreciate it! Also, if possible, I would be happy if breakfast could start from 6:00 AM. Thank you again, and I appreciate your help.

Because I live in Kanagawa and this area is so close, I had never looked for Accommodation around here before. Thanks to IKYU, I was able to discover such a wonderful Accommodation so nearby. Although I had seen some comments from other guests complaining about the staff’s service, every member of the team provided warm, hospitality-filled service without exception, and I truly enjoyed my stay in the best possible mood. This is a very quiet Accommodation with only 16 Rooms, and there are Onsen not only in the Rooms but also private baths and a large public bath. The meals were plentiful and well balanced; we were delighted to enjoy grilled char (iwana) with salt and Koshu beef as well. The road leading to the Accommodation is narrow, but as it is the only property there, it felt like a hidden hot spring retreat—absolutely wonderful. Even in this time of labor shortages, an elderly staff member kindly took care of us attentively until the very end. Knowing how demanding it must be late at night and early in the morning left me deeply impressed. They even saw us off until we were completely out of sight. I would love to visit again; however, we were told that only 8 of the 16 Rooms are currently in operation, making Reservations difficult to secure. I am truly grateful for an unforgettable trip accompanied by the soothing sound of the river flowing throughout the night.

We were very satisfied to stay in a lovely Room at this price and enjoy a luxurious dinner (assorted sashimi, sukiyaki, etc.). It would be perfect if there were an elevator. The view was wonderful, and we were told you can also see a beautiful sunset on a clear day. We were also impressed by the warm, efficient staff who never made us feel the Accommodation was aging. The large public bath with a great view was comfortable, and the front lobby had some items slightly cheaper than the souvenir shop, so we got good deals. Choosing the Deluxe Twin Room was absolutely the right decision. If we stay on Shodoshima again, this is our only choice.

Although we were a bit worried since it is the northernmost point, we were very satisfied with the environment and Facility that make effective use of nature. Thank you very much.

Always a pleasant stay. If I may point out, the water from the shower takes a little longer to heat up. Other than that, I am fully satisfied. Looking forward to my next visit!

I was completely satisfied with this Accommodation. I chose it because they allowed me to check in at 11:00 PM after a festival event, and because the Onsen is available for bathing all night. The thoughtful idea of opening an Onsen facility—normally used for day trips during the daytime—exclusively for overnight guests at night is truly wonderful. By chance it was a “large bath” day (apparently some days have only the smaller bath), and since it was the last night of Obon, I had it all to myself and could enjoy it in luxury. The large bath doesn’t have a sauna, but there is also a lukewarm tub fed directly from the source; alternating between that and the hot bath completely washed away my fatigue from the day. Breakfast the next morning was buffet-style. I didn’t expect much, thinking it might be just rice with raw egg, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rice with raw egg was excellent, and there were also porridge and a wide variety of side dishes, all well seasoned. For dessert there were two kinds of fresh fruit—watermelon and pineapple—both sweet and very satisfying. I would definitely like to stay here again.

The Room (Matsu-no-Ma), the new bath, the meals, and all the staff were wonderful. It was a truly memorable stay.

This was my second stay when attending a performance at Minamiza. The location is excellent, and it was also convenient for visiting Uzumasa Koryu-ji Temple. As with my previous stay, the attentive service was much appreciated. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, with a different menu each day.

I chose this Hotel for its unbeatable location right next to Kakunodate Station, making it easy to head to the Samurai Residence Street without carrying anything. It’s self check-in, but it wasn’t difficult. If you’re unsure, staff can assist remotely. I stayed in a twin Room on the first floor, and the barrier-free layout made getting around very easy. There’s also a great selection of self-serve amenities and soft drinks, so you can relax comfortably in the lounge area next to the entrance. Although it’s in front of the station, it was quiet at night and very peaceful. You do need to walk a bit to find places for dinner, but since the weather was nice, I enjoyed an evening stroll and took in Kakunodate at night. After checking out the next day, I realized I had left something behind and went back—cleaning was already underway, but the staff were truly kind and helpful, which I really appreciated. Since I planned to stay in Kakunodate again after one day elsewhere, I immediately made an additional Reservation at this Hotel.

The breakfast buffet was a big hit with my family! The bath was also wonderful. On our way home, I realized at Gamagori Station that I had left my wallet on a sofa on the first-floor lobby of the Hotel, and I panicked and called. A kind guest turned it in to the front desk, and a staff member even brought it to the station. I’m truly sorry for the trouble, but your kindness saved our trip. We will definitely stay again next time. Thank you very much.

I use this Hotel when traveling to Hokuriku for work. It had been about a year since my last stay, and the staff’s smiles make this a truly relaxing place. Because I’m here for work, my arrival time is uncertain and I leave early in the morning, so I always book No Meals Included. The Room is kept very clean, and the magnifying mirror at the sink is really helpful when putting on makeup. I’m not sure if every Room has one, but it’s a nice touch. The larger-than-usual refrigerator is also convenient. Ice packs don’t freeze completely solid, but they do freeze to some extent. The Onsen is spacious and stylishly designed. The open-air bath is deep, and there’s a large stone inside that works like a seat—you can adjust your height, which is great. There’s also a cold bath, and I appreciate that it isn’t too cold. This time I arrived in the early evening, so I went out for dinner while taking a walk around the Onsen town. It’s within walking distance, which gave me one more thing to look forward to. I’ll continue staying with No Meals Included—thank you again for your hospitality.

Staying at this price during the Obon holiday is wonderful. Although the exterior looks a bit worn, the inside has been nicely renovated and we were able to stay comfortably. The meals also offered sufficient quality and quantity for the price. However, perhaps because it was Obon, dinner felt drawn out as it took quite a long time for the next dishes to be served. That said, it was an Accommodation with excellent value for money and a high level of satisfaction.

I truly appreciate your prompt and courteous assistance, even though I realized on the 4th day of my stay that I had entered the wrong number of nights in my Reservation. I would love to use your service again!

I’ve stayed here twice, and this is my go-to place whenever I come to Ichinoseki. All the staff are friendly, which makes me feel at ease.\nThe Facility has everything you need. The complimentary coffee is delicious, so I recommend taking some to go even if you don’t drink it at the Hotel. Breakfast offers a good selection—enough to enjoy without overeating—and it’s tasty too.

We stayed in a detached Room (no open-air bath). It was great that all five of us could stay together in one Room. It didn’t have an open-air bath, but since we were staying with coworkers, the large public bath was more than enough. Going up the stairs from the lobby (lounge), the detached Rooms and baths are lined up, creating a charming atmosphere. Many of the staff were from overseas and provided multilingual support, giving the impression that they are well prepared for international guests. There were also many international guests.

I stayed for two nights for my mother's memorial service. Having used several accommodations in southern Akita Prefecture before and often being disappointed, I was hesitant to book a business hotel this time as well. However, due to the circumstances, I reluctantly made a reservation here after much searching. I had sent my luggage in advance via courier and requested it be placed in the room due to its weight. At the front desk, the staff's friendly and non-formal attitude provided a sense of reassurance. Upon checking into the room, I found it slightly spacious for a twin room in a business hotel. While there was some age to it, it was clean and comfortable enough for my stay. One minor inconvenience was that the room key was not automatic; you had to manually lock it when leaving (this could use improvement). Although there was an en-suite bath in the room, I opted for their public bath with artificial onsen water—it was quite relaxing! However, there were only five washing stations which felt cramped at times as soap or water from neighboring users would occasionally splash over. The women's section reportedly had just two washing stations, leading to wait times during use. The meals were surprisingly good—not your typical business hotel fare of rice balls and mediocre bread but proper dishes that changed daily even during multiple night stays! This variety kept things interesting and enjoyable throughout. To be honest, I initially expected this place to be like any other business hotel: small rooms with single beds crammed together and uninspired meals—but they completely exceeded my expectations. Since I'll need accommodations every one or two years when visiting this area (though there's no family home left), I've decided without hesitation that I'll choose this hotel again next time!

Both the quality and quantity were excellent, and we truly enjoyed a delicious dinner. We were especially impressed to be served grilled sweetfish with salt, which we never expected. Thank you very much.

We stayed here because it was a short drive from the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. We could see the sea from our room, and since the Accommodation is located on the grounds of a shipbuilding company, we were able to tour the shipbuilding process from inside a bus, which was great. The room rate was also affordable and good value.
