I have stayed here many times. At a typical Ryokan, I’m a light eater, so the meals served are often more than I can finish. For that reason, wherever I go, I stay without meals included. I eat at nearby restaurants and order only what I want and can finish. It’s cheaper and makes for a more relaxed trip. From that perspective, Kameya Rakkan is the best Hotel. Of course, the staff are kind as well, and I appreciate their attentive service. I will stay again.

I stayed here to attend a festival and visit acquaintances. Since I arrived a bit early for check-in, I had to wait in the lobby, but the Room is on the first floor without needing an elevator, so it was stress-free. The Room air conditioner wasn’t on, and the heat when I entered was intense. The power turns on by inserting a long plastic stick attached to the key, so I wished there were a spare stick available. The large public bath was great—I could stretch out my legs and relax. There were even guests sleeping at the edge of the bath (lol). If you’re used to auto-locks, you might forget to lock the door, so be sure to check before going to sleep! When going out, I left my key at the front desk. Breakfast has a wide variety and is delicious—be careful not to overeat. All of the staff greeted me with wonderful smiles and provided pleasant service. I’d like to stay here again when I’m in the area.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The Room was very spacious with a calm atmosphere, and the view of the Yoshii River from the large window was amazing. The Onsen left my skin feeling silky smooth, and with free-flowing natural spring water, the bath was very clean and truly refreshing. The meals were also delicious, and I was able to enjoy them slowly in a peaceful dining area. It was excellent. Thank you as well to all the staff for your kind and attentive service.

It’s extremely convenient right in front of the station and great value for money. You can enjoy drinks like coffee anytime, and bread is provided in the morning. It’s a truly welcome service at this price. It’s not actually my final destination, but I like it so much that I get off along the way to stay here. I’d like to keep using it in the future.

I thought my request might be difficult to accommodate, but you called me the day before and took care of it. Thank you very much.

My monthly staycation is usually at a Hotel in my local Minato Mirai area, but this time I went a bit farther to Hotel Indigo Gora. I drove there alone, and the winding mountain roads in Hakone were a little tiring. I arrived before check-in and planned to relax at the footbath, but as soon as I parked in the outdoor lot in front of the Hotel, a staff member came right away and helped with my luggage. The welcome drink and Umaibo snack were a nice touch, and being able to check in comfortably while seated is one of those pleasures you expect from a Hotel of this class. When I entered my Room with the staff’s guidance, I couldn’t help saying, “Beautiful!” out loud. It’s a compact Hotel with around 100 rooms, but the Japanese-modern design—combining a raised tatami area with beds—was truly charming. I usually prefer modern Hotels, but this stay reminded me how calming and appealing Japanese-modern style can be. For dinner, I ordered à la carte at the on-site restaurant. The shrimp, scallops, and abalone in the bouillabaisse were surprisingly tender; the burrata was rich and paired perfectly with tomato and basil. The white wine went down easily. Since I don’t eat much, I also appreciated having à la carte options instead of only set courses. The bath in my Room was spacious, and I was able to fully enjoy the Onsen at leisure. The breakfast buffet also impressed me in both variety and quality—especially the green beans dressed with sesame sauce, which tasted far better than anything I could make at home. Even as someone who eats lightly (and can be picky), it was more than satisfying. The hospitality from everyone on staff was excellent, and the entire property was beautiful and comfortable. It was a wonderful Hotel that made me want to return again.

Thank you for taking care of me on this touring trip! I really appreciated being allowed to park my motorcycle under the eaves by the entrance. The staff included many young women from overseas, and everyone served us politely with constant smiles, so I was able to fully enjoy a satisfying Onsen Accommodation—thank you very much. Next time, I’d like to visit with my wife and daughters as a family, and I look forward to seeing you then. If I may make one request: I had a beer in the floor area next to the front desk, but I was disappointed that the glass was at room temperature (it was a hot day, so it felt lukewarm). I would be grateful if you could consider this. Thank you again for such an enjoyable stay at your Onsen Accommodation. This middle-aged rider will definitely be back!

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.

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

The radon Onsen was great, and the Room was spacious.\nBreakfast in the morning was delicious. If I had to say one thing—though it may be difficult—it would have been even better if we could choose between Japanese and Western breakfast.\nConsidering the higher holiday rates, it still felt reasonably priced. After checking out, it was very refreshing to take a walk to the nearby earth pillars.

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.

In conclusion, the value for the price was outstanding. The Room was clean and spacious, and we also appreciated the table and chairs on the balcony. We were amazed by the Onsen water quality. We never expected such a strong sulfur scent from an Onsen in this area! The private open-air bath in the Room had a ceramic tub, and it was wonderful to soak comfortably with our legs stretched out. It was so good that we used it many times! We felt the upper slat of the privacy screen could be removed without any issue. It would make a big difference in how open it feels. The food also surprised us. Since we chose a standard Plan, we honestly didn’t expect that much, but there were many local ingredients and thoughtful touches—and above all, everything was seasoned beautifully and tasted excellent. We felt the head chef must be truly exceptional. We’re very interested in the chef’s choice course! All of the staff were kind as well. It was so great that we went ahead and made another Reservation for one month later.

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

Enjoy unlimited views of Nankai Electric Railway trains from a guest room built inside the station building. That said, trains are less frequent than in the city, so it’s quiet. There’s nothing around the station, and it’s also separated from the other guest room, ensuring peace and silence. Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Please bring your own food and drinks.

All the staff were very friendly, and we had a comfortable and pleasant stay. The food was delicious as well. We would definitely like to stay again.

I wanted to see the Okinawa rail, and I tried at another Accommodation last year but couldn’t find one. This year, determined to succeed, I stayed here. As a result, I finally got to see the Okinawa rail and was extremely satisfied. It was thanks to the staff’s kindness and all the helpful information they shared. Thank you very much. Someday, I’d love to come back again to see that adorable Okinawa rail.

At first, the entrance felt quiet and almost lonely, but it seems the Accommodation is designed so guests don’t often cross paths; once you get used to it, it’s very comfortable. The baths were great, and the meals were excellent—showing the chef’s attention to detail and offering a wide variety of dishes. All of this was made possible by the warm hospitality of every staff member. It was a wonderful Accommodation.

It’s been a while since my last stay. As always, the hot spring water in Kawaji is wonderful—I love it. This time I was really happy to get a riverside Room; a Room where you can hear the sound of the river is great. And soaking in the open-air bath while listening to the river and looking at the greenery right in front of you is so relaxing. For me, this is the best open-air bath anywhere. I definitely want to come again!!

In a quiet location, the Room’s Onsen is also free-flowing, and bathing while feeling close to nature is wonderfully refreshing. Because it was the Obon season, there were no vacancies in the Room we wanted, and both the large public bath and the post-bath lounge area were crowded, which was a bit tiring. However, for a popular Accommodation at this price point, that’s understandable. Overall, we were very satisfied considering the cost. The front desk staff and the service during meals were excellent. The relaxation staff at the spa provided highly skilled treatments that felt great.

I made a Reservation because I wanted to go snowboarding. The free Shuttle Service to several ski resorts was very convenient. The Onsen and Room were clean, and the meals were luxurious with all-you-can-drink alcohol. The price of around 10,000 yen is an incredible deal. It truly turned into an enjoyable trip. Staying at this Hotel makes you not want to stay at any other Hotel. Thank you very much!
