The Facility may be a bit old, but it is very well maintained. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated their support. We would love to stay here again. We only had coffee for breakfast, but having it free with a Multiple Night Stay is fantastic.

Stayed in mid-November. The room type was a Japanese-style room, and we stayed with three people. It was spacious and comfortable to relax. There was a slit under the sliding door at the entrance, and cold air came in while sleeping, making it a bit chilly. It might be cold during winter? For some reason, there were many ladybugs stuck on the window, and even though we didn’t open it, they were inside the room. (There was a notice in the elevator, but it was more than expected.) The Onsen and meals were very satisfying. If I have another chance, I would love to stay again!

Rather than a Hotel, it was an Accommodation. The Facility is simple and unadorned. However, the Room was clean and very comfortable. The menu at the on-site restaurant featured carefully prepared, home-style dishes. We ate there for both breakfast and dinner, and everything was delicious. Both the front desk and restaurant staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. The only downside was that the bathroom and toilet were small (but they were clean!). It’s a comfortable Hotel, and I’d like to stay again.

I arrived by motorcycle on a rainy day, and they kindly allowed me to park in front of the entrance where it wouldn’t get wet, which made carrying my luggage much easier. I really appreciated that thoughtful consideration. The guest Room is a bit dated, but it was no different from a typical Route Inn. The Room key was the old-style type, which felt nostalgic. The Room was properly cleaned, and I had a comfortable stay. Since I didn’t want to go out in the rain, I had dinner inside the Hotel and it was delicious. Breakfast was also similar to what I usually have at Route Inn, but it felt like there were more kinds of bread. Whenever I go touring, I enjoy staying at Route Inns in various places. Collecting Route Inn keychains is fun too.

I stayed for more than 10 nights on a business trip. It looks like an older-style Business Hotel, but it was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was very satisfying. There were plenty of vegetables, and a great selection of morning drinks like vegetable juice and milk. The Room is a bit dated, but it stayed warm even when it snowed. I really appreciated that the amenities included masks. The other amenities were also far more extensive than at most Business Hotels—it felt very considerate of guests. When I asked the front desk to borrow an umbrella, they lent me one immediately. They were also pleasant when I left my key with them. Maybe because it’s a popular Hotel, there were many guests staying there. Highly recommended for business stays. I’d like to use it again.

The location and the property had a calm, relaxing atmosphere, which was great. Everything we needed was provided, and although the building is older, it was very clean and comfortable! We’d definitely like to stay again.

The bath was absolutely amazing. The meals were hearty, and the Room was spacious and relaxing. When we mentioned that we came to see the ancient lotus seeds, they kindly picked one for us. Our journey continues as we admire the lotus seed.

The baths are simply excellent. The Rooms and building are somewhat old overall, but the baths are truly wonderful. The meals aren’t flashy, but they taste good and come in satisfying portions, so we were pleased overall. We were able to set off fireworks in the parking area a short distance away, and the kids seemed to really enjoy it.

Convenient location with spacious rooms. Highly recommended, and we plan to book again for our next trip to Tokyo.

We were very satisfied with the Onsen and yakiniku. We would like to stay here again.

We had a great time even in winter. It felt special and was wonderful.

I stayed in a single room: an 8-tatami Japanese-style room with one bed, with plenty of space to spread out luggage or do stretches—great for hikers. In addition, there’s a table and chairs in the wooden-floored area, and a convenience store is a 5-minute walk away, so “No Meals Included” might be fine. (Ice, tableware, and a microwave are available at the Accommodation.) The bath is a silky “beauty” hot spring; alternating between the warm bath and the cold source spring quickly washes away fatigue. There’s also a sauna, so you can fully refresh both body and mind. Meals feel like an upscale set menu, and the miso soup and handmade soba were excellent. (When I stayed, the main dishes were sukiyaki-style hot pot and sashimi such as char.) They also have a wide selection of alcohol at pleasantly reasonable prices. Since extra orders such as alcohol are settled each time, checkout is as simple as dropping the key into the collection box—also convenient for hikers.

It was very quiet and had a relaxing atmosphere. They kindly changed our room to a bedroom, but the bed was narrow and a bit firm, which made it hard to sleep. Breakfast was delicious and we were satisfied. Thank you very much.

Despite the excellent Facilities, the price even includes breakfast (with a wide variety of drinks besides coffee), and I was very satisfied. The bed was capsule-hotel style, but everything is new, spacious, and clean. There are showers only (no bathtub), but the water temperature, water pressure, shampoo, etc. were all perfectly fine. It was also a nice touch that they provide not only both large and small towels but also a bath mat. The only drawback? The building looks far cleaner and more serene than you would expect for the price (especially the entrance gate and garden give the impression of an upscale Japanese-style Accommodation), so I actually walked right past it thinking, “There’s no way I can stay here for this price—there must be another cheaper-looking building.” (Even though there was signage; it was my fault for not believing it.) With rows of sake breweries, it’s a charming streetscape that doesn’t feel like Tokyo at all. If I’d had more time, I would have liked to take a walk around the area.

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 had reserved a non-smoking twin room, but was recommended an available semi-double room in the new building at the same price, so I stayed in the new building instead. In addition to the semi-double bed, a regular futon was also provided, so the two of us used the bed and the futon. As it was newly built and felt like a compact studio with a kitchen and separate bath and toilet, it was very comfortable—and it was great that we could watch YouTube as well. However, only one toothbrush amenity had been provided, and there was a wrinkled towel hanging in the bathroom that I couldn’t tell what it had been used for, which was puzzling. Overall, though, it was a pleasant stay. Thank you very much.

First, the male staff member at the front desk felt off from the way he responded. To my questions, he seemed detached, showed no sense of urgency, and didn’t really give me an answer. The Room was smaller than I expected… to the point where I wondered if it was even the same Room as in the photos. The private open-air bath was excellent—very private and relaxing. It was a shame it was limited to one hour. There are many sightseeing spots nearby, and the location is convenient overall. The meals were very delicious and clearly thoughtfully prepared. It’s also enjoyable because they explain everything in detail. Both dinner and breakfast are quite filling, so you may want to skip snacks in between. Overall, it felt a bit underwhelming for the price, but since the food was great, I’ll leave this rating.

The building is old, but it has been kept reasonably clean. I’m sensitive to the dusty feel of older buildings, but it didn’t bother me much. It’s a traditional pension with a retro vibe. The owner was also very pleasant. I stayed in a Room with a unit bath. The unit bath was small and not really the kind you can relax in, but considering the price, I was satisfied. I’d like to stay here again when I visit Hakuba.
