The thorough explanation of the facilities at check-in and the attentive service at the buffet restaurant were excellent.

Although it was during the summer vacation season, it wasn’t overly crowded, and we fully enjoyed the delicious meals and the Onsen. I quickly finished breakfast and went to work, and since I returned in the evening, I only had breakfast and dinner, but they also had Häagen-Dazs ice cream, so I was very satisfied with what was offered. If I come back to this area again, I would like to stay here again.

As a mid-sized to small Hotel with relatively few guest rooms, it never gets unpleasantly crowded, so I can stay comfortably and I really like it. However, there are many families with children, and some people leave their kids unattended during meals, which was a bit troublesome. It doesn’t bother me elsewhere, but I do think a certain level of manners is necessary during meals. Even so, the Hotel is quiet and relaxing overall, and there are plenty of well-made dinosaur displays, so I like it a lot. I hope this Hotel continues for a long time—I’m rooting for you. By the way, this time the pool water seemed warmer than before—whether due to the setting or the season—and it wasn’t cold at all, so we could enjoy swimming comfortably without having to dash into the sauna.

It was my first time staying here. Everyone was very kind, and it made my stay truly pleasant. Thank you very much.

I woke up around 3:00 a.m. and, lying down while looking at Kinko Bay and the crystal-clear starry sky, I saw shooting stars one after another—more than a dozen. It was the first time in my life I had ever seen so many. The walk to the Hotel, the atmosphere in the lobby, and the pool’s blue lighting all felt like being somewhere outside Japan. Since we stayed as a family of three, it became a wonderful memory and we were able to truly relax. Thank you very much.

While the meals are not particularly luxurious, the quiet surroundings make it a relaxing place to stay. The area had been closed due to bear sightings, but a riverside walking path has now been developed all the way to Ryusendo Cave. The Iwaizumi Yogurt served at the Ryokan—highly praised by Mr. Ohtani—is excellent, and the milk is outstanding as well. The cold noodles at the Ryusendo Cave rest house were also very delicious. If you are worried about bears, there is a bus stop right in front of the property one stop before Ryusendo Cave (service is limited).

As we expected to arrive later than planned, we called in advance to discuss dinner arrangements. Despite the short notice, they kindly arranged an outdoor barbecue for us, which was a huge help. The barbecue was excellent—especially the thick-cut meat and sausages. There is also a dog run, and the Onsen Facility you drive to is spacious and very clean. The dining hall is also reached by car. The meals were Western-style like at a Hotel and were delicious. The grounds are wide, lush with greenery, and open, so we could relax at ease. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

We stayed here for a family trip. The property was very clean, and we had a comfortable stay. The food was delicious, and we were able to enjoy the main steak freshly grilled. Thanks to Oyama no Endo, it was a wonderful trip. Thank you very much.

We were very satisfied with everything—the staff’s service, the atmosphere of the Accommodation, and the meals. We had an unexpected issue on our side, but they responded kindly and supportively, and we are truly grateful.

The Onsen suited me well, helped improve my skin condition, and felt wonderful. The next day, when I opened the window, everything outside was covered in snow.

I love this Hotel—being soothed by the familiar Japanese-style Room and the usual view of Lake Biwa. It was my first stay in two years, and various things had been simplified. Breakfast is very delicious, but there were so many guests that day that we were seated far away from the food. I think we waited over 20 minutes for the made-to-order omelet. Some foreign guests ended up leaving without waiting for their omelets. The smoothie, as always, was excellent. It was my first time seeing the planetarium, but I wondered if there were mites in the seats. After sitting for a while, both my spouse and I started itching on our arms and kept scratching. As with old movie theaters, I think pest control and insect prevention would be a good idea. As for the Room amenities, various items were provided in the washroom, but they were hard to see at a glance. This is one of my favorite Hotels, so I hope to see improvements in service going forward.

This trip was planned as a motorcycle touring trip with an overnight stay. When I arrived at the Accommodation, the front desk staff kindly guided my motorcycle to a covered area and even provided an umbrella, which I really appreciated. The bath wasn’t large, but it was more than satisfactory. Above all, I can highly recommend the meals. Dinner was very satisfying, like a course meal—from meat and sashimi to pudding for dessert. And breakfast? It also offered a variety of delicious items such as grilled fish, and just like dinner I went back for seconds of rice. I’d like to stay here again when visiting the Fukushima area. From the Room I could see Lake Inawashiro; it was quiet around there and I slept very well.

Perhaps because rain was forecast, it was relatively quiet, and I was able to refresh in a peaceful Onsen surrounded by nature. In addition to the Shuttle Service from Akameguchi Station, there was also a Shuttle Service to Shijuhachi Falls after checkout, so I could enjoy sightseeing as well. The staff were very warm and kindly helped me when I accidentally left something behind. I would definitely like to stay again.

The baths and the meals were wonderful. I used the baths four times, and my skin felt so smooth. The portion sizes were just right, and both the Hida beef and the fish were tender and delicious. I would definitely love to stay again. When I visit Hirayu next time, I look forward to seeing you again.

I visited after a mountain hike. At check-in, we were offered only a cold hand towel, with no tea or sweets, and were shown to our Room. The Accommodation is small, but it felt clean throughout, including the Room, so we were able to stay comfortably in that respect. There was also complimentary beer service, but it was a bit disappointing that it was served in a cup rather than a mug or glass. The bath uses mineral spring water and has no taste or smell. I didn’t notice anything in particular while soaking, but after a while my skin felt smooth. Also, as time passed my body warmed up nicely, so it’s a good bath. As the Reviews said, the meals featured plenty of Toyama ingredients. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, but I think the dining experience would be even better with some explanation of the dishes. That said, during the meal the staff member in charge only said things like “Here you are” and “I’ll clear these,” which felt a little impersonal. I could hear another staff member serving the table behind us saying things like “Would you like more rice?” and “Would you like seconds?”, so it may depend on each person’s approach—but I wished for slightly more guest-focused service from our attendant. I was also concerned about there being cameras installed in several places; it felt somewhat like being watched. If they were placed more discreetly or with more consideration, it might feel less uncomfortable. Overall though, I think it was a good Accommodation.

We stay here every summer. The Tsumagoi pool isn’t overly large, and there are several types of water slides, so there’s almost no waiting time and you can really enjoy it. There’s a wide variety of food options that both kids and adults will be satisfied with, and the eel was delicious as well. It’s a very spacious Facility where you can relax and enjoy many different activities. If I could add one thing, I think we’d be even more satisfied if there were a lounge or other place to unwind, even if it required an additional fee. We’d like to come again next year.

I was able to relax and take it easy. Sitting by the fireplace, I enjoyed the nostalgic scent, sound, and flames of the burning firewood. The free-flow alcohol and drinks were wonderful—I was pleasantly surprised. It was perfect for a quick drink after a bath. The snacks were delicious as well; it felt like you really let the quality of the ingredients speak for itself. The evening buffet also had a handmade feel and was very tasty. Breakfast offered so many options that I couldn’t try everything. If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again.

From the welcome service until departure, we enjoyed unlimited drinks such as coffee, tea, and Furano wine, along with snacks, and were able to relax by the fireplace. Even though it was August, the fireplace was lit and the atmosphere was wonderful. Just before leaving, I found out you can toast and eat marshmallows there—I wish I had tried it. The stamp rally inside the Hotel was also fun, and my grandchild was delighted with the souvenir we brought back. The Hotel garden is nicely decorated as well. For dinner, only the main dish was served at our table and everything else was buffet-style, so we could casually choose whatever we liked. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious—we were very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone I know who is visiting Furano.

I was looking forward to staying in the newly renovated Room. From the Room, we could see the Tenryu River, and we were also able to enjoy the beautiful fireworks at night. Since the bedroom and living area are separate, I was able to relax without worrying about the TV noise. The large public bath was kept clean and comfortable to use. The lockers in the changing room can be locked, so I felt safe soaking in the bath. The in-room bath is a bit small, but I think it’s perfectly fine for one person. The Room amenities also showed great attention to detail, with Sekkisei skincare items and bath salts. Dinner was served in the Room, and everything came out at a good pace so we could enjoy each dish at the right temperature. The fish served with the chef’s original sauce was delicious. I also felt that the carp sashimi-style dish was enhanced by the sesame vinegar miso sauce. The miso soup at breakfast was delicious as well—just as other Reviews said. I would love to visit again.

After seeing on TV that many stays were being canceled due to the earthquake, I decided on the spot, “Then let’s go and make some summer vacation memories!” and made a same-day Reservation. The Room had a calm, pleasant atmosphere. Since it was the Room at the very end of the hall, we were able to relax without worrying about others even with children. I know it may depend on availability, but I truly appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Some of the staff were from overseas, but they made a sincere effort to speak polite Japanese and were very pleasant. Everyone was gentle and attentive, and we received wonderful hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed the Onsen—both the large public bath and the private family bath. It helped us forget everyday noise and feel refreshed. This ended up being a long message, but it was truly a rewarding trip that left us completely satisfied. It reminded me how wonderful a Ryokan can be. Next time, I’d like to add meals as well and enjoy an even more relaxing stay. Thank you very much.
