We stayed here while sightseeing at Oirase Gorge and Lake Towada. We spent a relaxing time in the spacious garden in front of Lake Towada. Although the building has a sense of history, the Room was clean and well maintained, and we were satisfied with everything—the bath and the meals. It was a wonderful Hotel.

Our family of seven stayed here, and our grandchildren had a wonderful time enjoying the pool, fishing, and fireworks. My father uses a wheelchair, and the barrier-free facilities were excellent. He could go to the large public bath in his wheelchair, our Room was right in front of the elevator, and at the restaurant the staff member in charge was very kind. We truly appreciated the thoughtful care in every aspect. The food was also delicious. One disappointing point: we found a single hair left on the pillow on one of the two beds in one of our Rooms. We hope that after cleaning, checks will be done more thoroughly so that not even a single hair is left behind. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

Dinner was delicious no matter what we tried, with refined flavors and generous portions.

We stayed with 2 adults, 3 children, and 1 dog. Even though we arrived after 6:00 PM on the day of check-in, thank you for accommodating us by changing our meal time, moving us to a dining Room where we could eat next to our dog, and upgrading our Room free of charge (even though we didn’t ask). We only realized it after we got home (laughs). Despite the busy Obon season, the front desk staff remained calm and composed, and the attendants greeted us with smiles. Our children had a great time as well. We truly appreciate being able to spend such a meaningful time there. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

I made a Reservation in a hurry due to unforeseen circumstances and ended up making several mistakes, but the front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Although the building and Facility feel a bit dated, the room was more spacious than expected, I was able to fully relax and enjoy the Onsen, and breakfast was properly prepared and delicious. Overall, I was more satisfied than I had imagined. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

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. The food is simply delicious. It’s also nice that it’s cooler here than down in the city during summer. The amenities were well stocked, which was great. If I had to mention anything, it was a bit inconvenient not having a freezer in the Room, and breakfast gets crowded, so I thought it would be helpful to have seating guidance.

I had a Reservation for the Kasumi Geo Taxi from 8:30, so I left home at 4:30 in the morning. After enjoying the San’in Geopark from the boat, I arrived at the Ryokan early. They kindly let me into my Room a little ahead of time, so I was able to take a nap—truly grateful. That evening, I went to the Kasumi Hometown Festival (the seaside fireworks display), and due to traffic I returned to the Ryokan later than expected, but I was glad I could still use the bath. Since other guests were also going to the fireworks, they thoughtfully extended the bathing hours. As you’d expect from a cuisine-focused Ryokan, breakfast is absolutely delicious—I’m a repeat guest for that reason as well. Above all, every staff member is polite and kind, and their guest-centered care is truly admirable. The clean and well-maintained Ryokan reflects their genuine hospitality. It was a wonderful holiday both physically and mentally. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a couple. The open-air bath was outstanding—easily the best among all the Onsen Accommodations we’ve stayed at. The water quality was excellent, and we were able to fully enjoy Manza Onsen’s signature milky, cloudy waters to our heart’s content. It was our first time trying a mixed-gender open-air bath, but we decided to go in together “since we were here and wanted to make a memory.” We were a little nervous at first, but it turned into a truly fun experience and an unforgettable memory for us as a couple. When I asked a staff member who was cleaning the washing area by the open-air bath, they responded very politely, and I really appreciated the kind service. The meals were more than satisfying, and the Room was spacious and comfortable—there wasn’t anything to complain about. Before staying, I thought, “At this price point, it’ll probably be about what you’d expect,” but after actually staying here, it far exceeded our expectations. It honestly felt like twice the value for money—we’re extremely satisfied. Next time, we’d love to visit in another season and enjoy these wonderful hot springs again.

The Room was spacious and really great. Having two bedrooms and two bathrooms was very convenient. My child vomited in the bedroom at night, and I cleaned it up myself; being able to move my child to the other bedroom during that time was a big help. When I went to the front desk to let them know what happened, they told me not to worry, which made me feel relieved. What was disappointing was that we couldn’t use the public bath, and that the pool hours were only until 5:00 PM. It would have been much easier to use if the pool were available until around 6:00–7:00 PM, but in the end it didn’t fit our schedule, so we left without using it.

My flight arrived at Memanbetsu Airport at 18:30. I wanted to order dinner as well, but it seemed I would need to finish eating by 20:00, so I decided not to. Since nearby restaurants close early, I ended up having a convenience store bento for dinner. The Haseko Mart bento was really delicious. Highly recommended.

I stayed in the single building. The Room was spacious enough for one person, clean, and very relaxing. The Onsen baths each felt different, and all of them were wonderful. The herbal sauna was a comfortable temperature for me, and I felt refreshed from the inside out. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. I could only use the indoor bath once due to my schedule, but it was also very pleasant, so I’d love to stay again and enjoy it next time.

We stayed as a family of three. My husband had stayed here twice before and recommended it, saying it was a wonderful Accommodation. It’s a small Ryokan, and perhaps because of that, we felt thoughtful attention to detail in every corner. What impressed us most was the food. Everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The garden view from our Room was also lovely. We thought the Japanese garden seen through the large windows must be at its best during the autumn foliage season.

I visited Kamikoshiki Island for a 2-night, 3-day trip starting June 8. The Hotel I stayed at, “HOTEL AreaOne Koshiki Island,” was just steps from Sato Port Terminal—an unbeatable location and the perfect base for exploring the island. The Room was on the 5th floor of a six-story building. As soon as I opened the door, the comforting scent of tatami welcomed me. The warmth of sleeping on a futon again made me want to just stretch out and relax right away. Unfortunately, light rain fell through the second day due to a weather front—but even that added to the atmosphere of the trip. Turning on the TV, I could watch NHK plus four commercial channels clearly (BS/CS wasn’t available), and it was genuinely pleasant to spend some quiet time unwinding in the Room. Best of all was the large Onsen bath! I eased my travel fatigue in the spacious indoor bath, then moved to the open-air bath where a refreshing breeze flowed through. Soaking while listening to raindrops made for an especially memorable and satisfying moment. Breakfast was a generous buffet-style spread. Even though I had it two mornings in a row, there were thoughtful changes to keep things interesting, so each morning still felt fresh and exciting. From Kagoshima’s famous crispy satsuma-age fish cakes to other local flavors lined up beautifully, it was hard not to keep eating from early in the day. (I had dinner elsewhere, but with breakfast this good, I can only imagine dinner would be delicious too.) Then came morning on day three. When I opened the curtains—clear skies as if all that rain had been a lie! From my 5th-floor window stretched a vivid ocean view as far as I could see. The sparkling sea and grand island scenery took my breath away in an instant—an unforgettable sight. It turned into an amazing 2-night stay where I got to fully enjoy both rainy-day charm and brilliant blue skies over the sea—truly luxurious in every way.

Just a short walk from the station with excellent access, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. We were able to relax and enjoy our meals in a private Room. For dinner, each of us was served freshly cooked white rice from a small individual kamado pot, which made us very happy! At breakfast as well, the fish and yudofu were each heated at the table, so we could enjoy a warm meal. The large public bath was not overly crowded and felt spacious, allowing us to relax and enjoy the hot water. The Room was also spacious, making for a very comfortable stay. The only thing that bothered me was a slightly musty smell in the elevator, but the Facility was new and clean overall. It’s also close to central Tokyo, and I would love to stay again.

Although we were informed that the air conditioning is centrally controlled throughout the building, it was a little cold. Due to the typhoon, it suddenly became cooler, so it couldn’t be helped, but it finally warmed up by early morning.

The large public bath was clean and very nice.\nWe enjoyed the well-equipped recreational area on the first floor, including table tennis.\nWe were satisfied with the service.

It was as delicious as rumored. The wine selection was excellent, and everything—from the bread to the desserts—was outstanding.

I stayed here the night before hiking Mt. Tsurugi the next day. I went to the hospital in the morning and headed to the Accommodation after lunch, but I thought I might be late and called them. They told me to put safety first and come whenever I could. The atmosphere was great, and they even prepared breakfast as a boxed meal to suit my schedule. It was delicious. I’d like to stay here again when I hike Mt. Tsurugi, and next time I’d like to add dinner as well.

Dinner featured local dishes such as kiritanpo hot pot and bear meat. There was no sliced sashimi, but the DIY seafood mixed rice was delicious. Late-night snack: tantan ramen. I was completely full. 　They also offer a Shuttle Service from Tazawako Station, and they kindly explained the available time slots. 　However, the bicycle rental at Lake Tazawa was terrible. Even though the road was closed due to a landslide, they said it was still possible to go around. When I came back, they insisted they “didn’t know anything” and acted as if it wasn’t their problem. They refunded the rental fee—then grabbed the cash I handed over and wouldn’t let go, threatening me in a harsh voice: “You rode it for some time—are you saying you won’t pay?” Other rental bike users I passed on the way (a Japanese person and a white woman) may also have been pressured into paying. When I explained what happened at the tourist information center, they said, “We have informed them about road closures and reopenings.”
