Stopped by during a tour to Chausuyama Kogen Road and Horaiji Mountain. Over 30 years ago, the current proprietress's father started this property by renovating their old family home. Nowadays, properties renovated from old houses are not uncommon, but the foresight to start it in that era is impressive. Urugi Village is a great place to spend a relaxing time in a rural setting. The proprietress's proud dishes of game meat and mushrooms, salt-grilled sweetfish, and horse sashimi were very satisfying. The gohei mochi served at the end was also quite filling. There was "Urugi Onsen Komadori no Yu" nearby, so we went there for a bath. Therefore, we did not use the bath at the property. It was a nice property, friendly to riders. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great food, and the Onsen has a strong petroleum-like mineral scent—very distinctive and amazing. Degawa has visited too. The proprietress is friendly and easy to talk to. Right on the Akita prefectural border, there’s almost nothing around! But that’s exactly what makes it great.

We added dinner, and it was generous in portion; we also enjoyed the delicious sashimi made with locally caught fish. The Facility and Room were well cleaned and felt fresh and spotless, so we had a comfortable stay.

We enjoyed the stylish interior, elaborate dishes and tableware with a focus on broth, and the wonderful milky white Onsen. The only downside was that the phone was difficult to connect, and even when it did, it was automatically transferred to another Ryokan, so it was hard to get the information needed, and we had to hang up and wait for a callback. The website mentioned that there was a Shuttle Service to the nearest bus stop, but we were not provided with it and had to walk for 30 minutes. I understand that not having a TV in the Room might be a particular choice, but I still would like to have a TV. During the extreme Onsen tour, we were able to experience a wild and natural Onsen that is difficult to visit individually.

The Room was clean, and the front desk staff were friendly. However, the toilet and washbasin felt uncomfortably close—like in a studio apartment. That said, dinner was excellent, so overall it was a satisfying stay. The portion size, quality, and atmosphere were all great.

With fewer guests, I was able to enjoy a relaxing soak in the lukewarm radium Onsen. Meals were served at the restaurant, likely due to the large number of day-trip group visitors. While some dishes, like the okra tempura, were a bit too hard, overall they were delicious. We chose a slightly small Japanese-style room for our stay; however, my elderly mother would have appreciated having a chair. Although there were moments where staff shortages seemed apparent, our requests were accommodated and we had an overall satisfying stay at this accommodation.

We came from Nara, and it was closer than expected. The Onsen was excellent. The Room had a bungalow-style layout with several units lined up, featuring a Western-style bedroom with two beds and a sitting area, a Japanese-style room of about 6 tatami mats, a toilet, washbasin, and a mini-kitchen. There was also a small private garden in front. We stayed with our grandchild, and we were able to relax without worrying even if they ran around. Many guests seemed to stay for river activities and hiking.

The front side of the accommodation faces a field, with a horse pasture in the back. If you're lucky, you can catch a distant view of Mt. Fuji, allowing you to relax and unwind. The owner is attentive and considerate to each guest, maintaining a comfortable distance. The room is standard, the toilet is modern, the bath temperature is perfect, and Wi-Fi connectivity is excellent. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, making for an elegant experience.

Located in a quiet mountain setting, you can enjoy snow views from the open-air bath during winter. The staff were approachable and created a welcoming atmosphere. When I took out my medicine during the meal, they immediately brought water to the table, saying, "If you're taking medicine, let me prepare some water for you." If possible, I would have appreciated having coffee served at the table after meals, even for an additional charge. Also, switching the men's and women's baths on alternating days could double the enjoyment for guests. Thank you for your hospitality. I look forward to staying here again!

Smooth handling of a same-day online reservation. The facility near Lake Biwa was clean and well-maintained, allowing for a pleasant stay. After a long journey by land from Kyushu, I was able to relax and feel rejuvenated at the accommodation. Thank you very much.

This was our third stay. The staff were very kind and attentive, and we had a comfortable and pleasant time. The Room was clean and welcoming, with a calming atmosphere filled with the scent of wood, making it very relaxing. There were both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, allowing us to fully enjoy a leisurely soak. In particular, there were three types of open-air baths, which the children also enjoyed, creating wonderful memories for the whole family. It was an Accommodation we were highly satisfied with, and one we would definitely like to visit again.

The refreshing host was truly soothing and put me at ease. They kindly accommodated my special meal requests, and the draft beer served in an ice-cold beer mug was excellent. This is an Accommodation I would love to stay at again.

I have stayed here several times and am always very satisfied. The staff are all pleasant and excellent.

We stayed with one adult and two preschool-aged children. There was also a dining hall right next door. They also had a washing machine and dryer, so we were able to do the kids’ laundry. We only brought a few changes of clothes, so it was a huge help.

Thank you as always for your kind consideration.

I’ve stayed here before and was very satisfied with the Crab Feast Course, but this time I wanted even more crab, so I chose the Luxury Crab Course. As a result, I was extremely satisfied with both the taste and the portion size. Also, this inn is right in front of the lift area at Hachi-Kita Ski Resort, and being able to use the bath even after check-out is a huge help. Another great service is that guests aged 55 and over can rent equipment for free. There’s also an affiliated rental shop nearby, and the staff were very kind and helpful. Unfortunately it rained that day and conditions were terrible, but thanks to staying at Hisaya, it turned into a ski trip I was happy with.

It was the final weekend of the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival. I was able to soak leisurely in the Onsen in our Room and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It wasn’t as crowded as expected—only our family and one other party stayed—and the private bath was available, so we could fully enjoy the large bath as well. The meals were delicious, with a carefully selected, high-quality feel. The squid sashimi was sweet and excellent, and I especially liked the simmered golden eye snapper with its gently sweet flavor. It wasn’t overdone—just right—and it’s an Accommodation I’d like to visit again. Even with our dog, it felt clean and we could stay with peace of mind. However, the stairs are steep, so it may not be suitable for small children or elderly guests.

The staff was truly kind when I went to drop off my luggage before check-in. When the stargazing event was canceled due to bad weather, they informed me about the possible times when stars might be visible from the Hotel. The Room was clean, and the meals were delicious. Thank you very much!

We visited this accommodation for our first trip with our beloved dog. The family running the place are dog lovers and warmly welcomed our pet from the moment we arrived. Despite being an accommodation exclusively for guests with pets, it was impeccably clean, and there was no noticeable odor at all. Thoughtful considerations for staying with pets were evident everywhere, including a clear explanation of guidelines upon arrival to ensure mutual respect among guests. The warm, carefully prepared meals allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay. The property features a dog run and walking paths behind the building; unfortunately, as we only stayed one night this time, we couldn’t fully enjoy them—something we regret. We definitely plan to visit again for a longer stay next time. Regarding meals, they kindly inquired about allergies in advance. Although no one in our family has allergies, we forgot to mention some food preferences but were grateful for their prompt adjustments. This is truly an ideal accommodation for traveling with your furry family members!
