I made a Reservation online mainly because of the price, and everything went smoothly—I was able to relax and take my time. The Room walls are thin, and on one night the snoring from right next door was very loud. Since it was midwinter and not a tourist season, there were few guests, and I had one Room to myself for five days. The only other guests seemed to be people photographing stars and birds, and anglers. In warmer seasons, up to 16 people can stay in total, so it may get crowded; if you prefer a quiet stay, I recommend avoiding those periods. What I found useful to bring were slippers, sandals, and an electrical extension cord.

Because the door is a bit unique, I was nervous at first, wondering if I had the wrong entrance. But once I passed through the gate, nature opened up and it was exciting. Since the car park and the Accommodation are separated, those with a lot of luggage should be careful not to forget anything. The Accommodation was clean. It was a little disappointing that there were no hangers in the room. As for the toilet and bath, you have to step outside once to get there, so at night I couldn’t bring myself to go out because I could hear what sounded like distant howling (lol). Still, since they are private facilities—unlike places where you share with other guests—I think it’s more than sufficient. There are also many Facilities you can use for free, such as a terrarium experience, a basketball hoop, a sauna, and a pool; depending on the season, there may be more than enough to keep you busy. I had assumed we might be able to interact with the horses too, but when it came to the ranch area I only heard them and never actually saw them, which was disappointing. For meals, we were satisfied being able to enjoy BBQ using our private grill! It’s not a luxury-style glamping Accommodation, but I think it’s just right for enjoying nature and a camping vibe in a clean environment at an affordable price.

I booked a reservation with breakfast included. The original fish burger, miso soup, and a small selection of Western-style side dishes were incredibly delicious. The public bath is available until 10 PM, and the women's area has enough space for about four people to soak comfortably. It seems the showers can still be used even after hours. I used the hairdryer in my room, so the changing area didn’t get crowded, which was nice. The room was spacious and clean. The wooden flooring made it feel like home. Amenities such as toothbrushes, pajamas, and towels were well-prepared and abundant. I accidentally left my jacket in the closet but received a prompt call right after check-out, allowing me to retrieve it safely. Since I wasn’t wearing it due to the heat, I wouldn’t have noticed without their call—very grateful for that! At night, we went out for dinner elsewhere and got too tired to go stargazing; however, the sunset from nearby Yokote Beach was stunningly beautiful. From our room window, we could see cats outside—it was unexpectedly soothing!

We were deeply impressed by the hospitality that cannot be experienced at ordinary accommodations. Our child, who loves fishing, was kindly guided when catching Amago and rainbow trout at the fishing pond. The BBQ had a perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive. Breakfast was a typical Japanese meal but reflected meticulous care in its preparation. The manager played with us using rubber band guns and bamboo dragonflies, which our child found incredibly fun. Even though we stayed at other accommodations during this trip, our family still talks about how much they enjoyed their time at this riverside accommodation even a month later.

It was my first time here, and it was simply the best!!! We could use the kayaks and more for free as much as we wanted. The scallops at the BBQ were incredibly delicious. The staff were so funny and kind, and we had fun the whole time. It became an unforgettable memory—we’ll definitely be back!

This was my first time staying here. It’s a small hotel nestled in the forest. The surroundings are quiet, making it a perfect place to relax. When I stepped inside, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was—it made me wonder if I should take off my shoes before entering! The wooden-style room had a toilet, shower room, and a spacious sink area. Part of the elevated floor served as a large bed. The lights automatically turned on and off based on movement, which meant no need to manually switch them when getting into bed or waking up for the restroom—so convenient! And the baths! There’s an indoor bath on the first floor and an open-air bath on the second floor, both available for private use. The stone tubs were spacious with crystal-clear water, and while soaking in the outdoor bath under overhanging tree branches was amazing, even the indoor bath felt clean and refreshing. The design is minimal yet perfectly thought out—for example, there’s a spotlight-like light by the bed that’s ideal for reading or an unexpectedly long clothes rack that turned out to be very practical. It made me wonder if the owner might be an architect because they clearly understand what guests need! I’m already thinking about coming back just to stay here again—I’ve found such a gem!

We stayed with a Biwako Hakodateyama Ski Resort lift ticket and meals included. We chose a Room in the main building, and it was clean, spacious, and very nice. The bath was under repair, so we had to go to the annex building, which was the only disappointing part. The bath itself was clean and good; it was just inconvenient to move. The meals were delicious, and breakfast was also great with plenty of side dishes. Considering the lift ticket included, I think it was excellent value for money. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for taking such great care of us during our one-night, two-day stay. The Room was spotless and thoroughly cleaned, and we were able to truly relax. Although it was a detached Room, the main building was right in front of us, which made us feel at ease. We took an early-morning walk around the watershed area and saw beautiful scenery spreading out in the silence—it felt as if both mind and body were refreshed. Breakfast was also exceptional: we enjoyed the complimentary bread along with milk and yogurt we bought at a nearby farmers’ market. Our children were very happy too, saying they “wanted to stay longer.” It became a wonderful memory for us. Thank you very much.

I love Onsen Ryokan and stay at Onsen Accommodation around the country, and this one was an especially great find. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, the atmosphere lifted my spirits, and every dish was delicious and felt carefully prepared. The staff were also very friendly and created a comfortable, welcoming space. A private bath isn’t essential, but I’d love to use it if available—so I hope it can be repaired.

We stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. Above all, the food—including fish—was delicious. Over two days, not a single dish was repeated. Not only the sashimi, but also the steamed dishes and vegetable dishes were all excellent. When I told the owner that the rice was delicious too, he said it was grown by his friend. With an Onsen and a clean Room, there’s nothing to complain about. Using a smartphone to enter details at check-in was a first for me, but it went smoothly. Lake Hyuga is right in front of you, and the view was outstanding.

I booked this Accommodation as a stopover without thinking too much, and it turned out to be a great choice. The Accommodation is still fairly new and very clean, the Room is spacious, and the bath is also large. The beautiful view of the Hirugano Highlands from the Room is wonderful and truly relaxing. And the long-awaited meals were authentic French cuisine, currently prepared by the owner’s daughter who trained in France. They also offer a good selection of quality wines at reasonable prices, making for a very satisfying dining experience. It made me want to stay here for several nights as a summer getaway and relax in the Hirugano Highlands.

The food was excellent. There is an additional fee, but you can view the night sky from the observatory, which could be a great learning experience for families with children. Since we stayed in a lodge, it was disappointing that the dining building was far away and there were no lights along the way. The water tasted amazing.

We checked in early and were able to relax until dinner. The meals were beautifully presented, with great taste and satisfying portions. The timing of each course was also excellent. We always felt that the staff were quietly looking out for us. We hardly ran into other guests, so we could truly enjoy our own time. The only issue was that when returning to the Room at night, it was dark near the entrance and difficult to unlock the door. We would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed in the Kids Terrace Room with our children during summer vacation. They were thrilled with the bunk beds and the tent. Best of all, the terrace connects directly to the lawn area, so we could relax on the terrace while watching them play. They enjoyed experiences that are hard to find in the city, like driving RC carts on the grass, feeding ponies, and playing with water guns. The meals were also excellent, with many dishes featuring local ingredients. The late-night tantan noodles and complimentary ice cream after a bath were wonderful touches. The Facility had been renovated and felt new inside, making our stay very comfortable. Even after returning home, our kids still say they want to stay again. We’d love to visit again when we have the chance.

With the ocean right in front of us and great weather, both the starry sky and the sunrise were truly relaxing. It was also nice to have free drinks like café lattes, which we could enjoy while taking a walk along the beach. This was our second stay, and we’d love to come back again next time.

This Facility offers the perfect trio of Onsen, delicious cuisine, and beautiful views. Shuttle Service from the station is available, and there are activities such as early-morning walks, making it ideal for solo travelers looking to relax and unwind. I keep coming back.

I stayed for one night on my way back from hiking in Oze. Although I was traveling solo, they kindly welcomed me, which I truly appreciated. The building shows its age, but it was very well cleaned, and I had a comfortable stay. There are only a few staff members, but just as the Reviews said, everyone was kind, polite, and welcoming with a smile. I also appreciated their thoughtful attention to detail. The meals were excellent—especially the locally grown rice—and they even encouraged me to have seconds, so I was able to eat plenty. I was also grateful that the bath could be used all night except during cleaning hours. It’s a sulfur spring bath, but not too strong or harsh, so I could soak slowly and relieve my fatigue. I didn’t see any foreign guests during my stay, and other guests had good manners as well; overall it felt calm and relaxing throughout. When I visit Oze again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

This was our family’s first trip to Yufuin. Dinner was delicious, including Bungo beef, and the children’s meals were also luxurious and very generous in portion size. The Ryokan was even more impressive than we expected from the entrance—the interior was surprisingly spacious. We also loved the calm, hidden-retreat atmosphere and charming ambiance. One night wasn’t enough, so we would love to return if we have the chance again. Thank you very much.

I stayed for one night with my partner. Dinner was served in the Room, and it was very luxurious. Plus, we were also provided with late-night snacks like inari sushi and fruits, which left us completely full! The open-air bath attached to the Room seemed to use natural hot spring water, as there were mineral deposits at the spout. Since it was a weekday, with discounts and Earn Points applied, the cost came to under 20,000 yen per person, making it very reasonable!

The natural Biwamasu trout, proof of its orange color from feasting on plenty of shrimp! It's incredibly delicious!! Served as sashimi, grilled, fried, and more in generous portions. Living in the Kanto region makes it hard to visit often, but next time I’d love to try the eel hot pot (Jun-Jun). Thank you so much to everyone at the accommodation for your hospitality.
