Thank you for your hospitality yesterday. It was wonderful to see you again this year after such a long time. As always, I truly enjoyed our conversation and appreciate the delightful time spent together. I hope you managed to visit the dentist today as planned. Despite your husband's health not being at its best, I am always grateful for the delicious meals you both provide each time. Your warm and thoughtful care never fails to impress me. Though our conversations often revolve around health matters, they are still enjoyable moments that I cherish! I sincerely hope that both of you will continue running Miroir with great energy, so please take good care of yourselves! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

It was a family trip where relatives who usually live far away got together for the first time in several years (including seniors and a toddler). All the staff were kind and courteous. The meals were delicious and more than enough in quantity (we had a late lunch, so we were too full and sorry we left quite a lot). The view from the bath was lovely as well—right by the river, with a great atmosphere. We stayed in one Room with six people, but it was spacious enough for our toddler to run around, and the view from the window was amazing (river side). We were very satisfied.

This was my second visit. The wonderful Onsen where you can soak comfortably without overheating, the dinner that was enjoyable both in taste and presentation, and the consistently pleasant hospitality and service from the staff were all just as great as before. I had previously requested pockets in the in-house loungewear, and I was delighted to find they provided a small pouch instead—perfect for carrying a smartphone and room key. It’s truly impressive how thoughtfully they consider guests’ comfort. Now I’m already wondering when I should come again.

We made a Reservation because the Room has a reclining bath. Our plan for the day was to soak in it at night while looking up at the sky, but since it rained, we thought we would just relax and listen to the sound of the rain. However, there were so many insects that we gave up on using it at night. The Ryokan staff said it was an unusually heavy day for insects as well. We took it positively as proof of how rich the nature is, and enjoyed the reclining bath slowly after sunrise instead. It was truly surrounded by nature, and the bath felt wonderful. As for dinner, my husband and I are not good with river fish, so we ended up leaving some behind—sorry about that. The quantity and flavor were more than enough; it was an excellent meal. Regarding service, I can’t go into details, but there was something where I caused trouble. When I explained this to the front desk staff, they instead apologized for any inconvenience to us. I’m not comfortable with overly close service, but their sense of distance was just right, and we had a very pleasant day. We would like to visit again in winter.

We visited to see the moss phlox at Hitsujiyama Park. The Accommodation offered a free stargazing tour, and we had a wonderful time. Every staff member was truly hospitable. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I’ve stayed at several Accommodations that welcome dogs, but this was the first place where I never once felt restricted “because we have a dog.” Surrounded by nature, it’s a truly soothing space for both people and dogs. I was amazed by the huge 1,200-tsubo lawn garden and even a pool where people can swim too. I was genuinely happy to be able to relax and let my dog roam freely. And I was surprised to be able to enjoy an Onsen in Chiba. What’s more, our Room had a luxurious open-air bath carved from a massive stone! Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time without worrying about others was the best. Another great point for us was having a two-bedroom layout—an absolute must for our family. I never imagined traveling with our dog could be this comfortable, free, and luxurious… It truly was an amazing time. A wonderful Accommodation where both dogs and people can forget everyday life and fully unwind—we’d love to visit again.

Since around February this year, I’ve stayed here whenever I visit Kita-Karuizawa for work, and I’ve already returned for more than 10 nights. It’s a long-loved pension, so the building shows its age, but it’s kept very clean. Surrounded by beautiful trees, it feels like an especially perfect location in the coming season. The biggest highlight is the food. Even after staying many times, I can’t recall ever being served the same menu. The owner couple seem to thoughtfully create new dishes each time for repeat guests like me, and I truly appreciate their care. Not only do I look forward to every meal, but chatting with them after dinner has also become a wonderful travel memory. It’s located in Tsumagoi Village, but if you’re traveling to Karuizawa or Kusatsu Onsen, I highly recommend going a little further and staying at Motown. A pension I can wholeheartedly recommend!

Originally, we planned to visit Miyako Island, but due to a flight cancellation, we made a last-minute change to this accommodation. The disappointment of not being able to go to Miyako Island was completely overturned by this wonderful accommodation and the nearby sea! Despite our late-night check-in, we were warmly welcomed. The handmade bread served at breakfast was exquisite! It was beautifully presented, and my 4-year-old daughter was thrilled with the heart-shaped bread. Having baked bread for luxury hotels for many years, the quality of the dough and carefully selected ingredients were exceptional. We could choose our drinks; among them, the chai and mango juice were delicious. On our last day, everyone chose mango juice again. The room is a renovated traditional house with high ceilings featuring four bunk beds—perfect for providing a sense of privacy even for teenagers in their sensitive years. Each bed had stylish reading lights and outlets conveniently located for charging devices while lying down. Towels were replaced daily, trash was collected every day as well, allowing us to stay in cleanliness throughout our visit. The toilet and shower room were also spotless! The mist shower provided warm water that felt comforting on slightly chilly days—a thoughtful touch indeed! Cute towels hung daily at the sink added an extra delight. The interior design is stylishly curated; even household appliances are chosen without compromising aesthetics—truly impressive attention to detail! Particularly notable are the potted plants around the reception counter and tasteful tableware used during meals. Less than a one-minute walk from this accommodation leads you straight to the beach—a perfect spot where small children can enjoy activities like SUP boarding or snorkeling safely while playing with floaties in shallow waters close by coral reefs teeming with colorful fish species alongside crabs & hermit crabs living on rocks nearby delighted my daughter immensely! For shopping needs such as drinks or snacks (including delicious bento boxes), there’s a supermarket about 10 minutes away by car offering everything from island sandals & meats desserts fireworks souvenirs operating until 9 PM making it convenient avoiding trips into Naha city altogether! Next time around—we plan staying entirely within Nakijin village itself laughingly skipping excursions elsewhere altogether enjoying its serene charm uninterruptedly instead 😊 Lastly though unexpected mishaps occurred upon departure staff graciously handled situations kindly demonstrating immense patience generosity beyond words expressing gratitude wholeheartedly here once more including promptly mailing forgotten items back afterward too much appreciated indeed ❤️ My daughter fell head-over-heels loving black sugar peanuts brought home cherishing fond memories shared together thanks again sincerely wishing Nakijin remains tranquil unspoiled haven forever amidst growing popularity tourism developments ahead looking forward returning soon reconnecting warmly meantime best regards always till then 🌿

As the first trip to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, we stayed at Arayashiki in Oki. We were able to relax as if we were at home, including enjoying the garden with a sky full of stars and a campfire. The meals reflected a deep respect for nature and made us feel, “This is what doing things right looks like.” The nature on Dogo Island was wonderful, but as someone who loves spectacular views, I’m glad we made the effort to visit Matengai Cliff in Dozen. If the timing works out, I’d love for our children to experience this too.

This was my first time staying here, and honestly, it was outstanding. The moment I walked up the hill and stepped onto the villa grounds, I was captivated by the unique look of each building and the wonderfully refreshing views. Inside the villa, everything was spotless. A welcome drink was prepared, and the refrigerator was packed with an overflowing selection of complimentary beverages. I couldn’t help but say out loud, “This is amazing…” We also got to let our children experience farming activities—they were thrilled to harvest eggplants and green peppers. Feeding the chickens and hearing about how they’re raised was also a valuable experience. A couple of notes: there are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so I recommend buying what you need in advance. Also, there generally isn’t a microwave in the Room, but when we called the management building and asked, they brought one over and set it up for us. We will definitely stay again! It was so good that I want it to become popular—but at the same time, part of me doesn’t want it to get too popular (lol).

I visited with a friend for our once-a-year, slightly indulgent girls’ trip. The Accommodation seems to be located right in front of a local bus stop, but part of the national highway on the bus route was closed due to a landslide and buses were taking a detour, meaning extra travel time from both Takayama and Matsumoto. So my friend drove from Nagoya instead. We took a short break at the Hirugano Kogen Service Area to enjoy the magnificent scenery, and arrived comfortably in just under three hours with no traffic. There were spots with some snow remaining along the sides of the road, but there was no snow on the road itself. Even so, it gets cold in the mornings and evenings, so winter tires are recommended for peace of mind in case of icy conditions. The building is kept impeccably clean and is wrapped in a pleasant quietness and the lovely aroma of charcoal from the irori hearth—while our Room had no odor at all. We were welcomed into a spacious Room with delicious homemade pound cake as part of their hospitality, and as we chatted comfortably, time flew by. The cuisine was truly outstanding—bringing out the full flavor of each ingredient while presenting combinations and plating unlike anything I’d experienced before, far exceeding its reputation and my expectations. As richer foods have started to leave me feeling heavy or unwell the next day over recent years, I especially appreciated how refined every dish was; it felt like food I could happily enjoy even in my 80s without any heaviness. The chef’s and staff’s genuine desire for guests to enjoy themselves came through clearly. Perhaps because of the high altitude, alcohol seemed to hit more quickly—and since I also wanted to bathe—I unfortunately didn’t get around to trying the local craft beer or sake provided in our Room. Still, stepping outside after the sauna into crisp mountain air with grand peaks right before us felt incredible. The private hot Onsen bath attached to our Room—hotter than expected—with jazz at night and birdsong in the morning was pure luxury: an unbelievably relaxing stay beyond what I could imagine. I’d love to return to experience another season’s cuisine as well—I’ve become a true fan. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

I stayed at the Holiday House Village. The Facility was unified with Scandinavian design, making it a stylish and functional house. There was an issue with the hot water not running due to heavy snow, but it was addressed immediately, and the response was excellent. Since it was difficult to go out due to the heavy snow, I ordered dinner and breakfast. Although I felt it was a bit pricey, it was delicious, so I’m glad I ordered it. I think it would have been better if there were more menu options. Overall, I was very satisfied and would definitely like to stay again.

Right in front of Lake Kussharo—an unbeatable location. Rera is built diagonally in front of Fre, so you may be a bit aware of each other’s presence, and I did wonder what it would feel like if someone walked by while I was in the bath. The view from the second floor is simply stunning. The ingredients for the meals are luxurious and delicious, but unfortunately the wine selection didn’t match our taste (it would have been nice if at least the grape varieties were listed). Despite the overall great sense of style, there were some everyday-looking items like hand soap placed in the washroom, which slightly took away from the atmosphere. There was a faint damp smell on the towels, and the indoor slippers felt too ordinary—disposable ones might actually be better.

Used by seven of us for a family trip during summer vacation. The view of Mt. Fuji from the Room was amazing. The Room and tableware were spotless—nothing to complain about. When the vending machine didn’t return change, the staff responded very quickly and politely. We’d love to stay again.

We stayed with two families (10 guests) and were very satisfied. The women especially appreciated how easy the kitchen area was to use. The bath was also very comfortable, with Onsen water. We also enjoyed an outdoor BBQ, and the provided insect-repellent items—such as mosquito coils—made it very comfortable. The kids loved playing Nintendo Switch on the projector and watching videos or listening to music via Fire TV Stick. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.

An amazing location surrounded by breathtaking nature. In the morning, we took a walk with the kids through the great outdoors, spotting animal tracks and even wild squirrels and deer. It was a magnificent experience you can’t get in everyday life. What makes SANU special is being able to enjoy it all with peace of mind. From helpful communication before our Reservation to well-maintained Facilities and equipment, plus advance information about the surrounding area, there’s plenty of support to help you stay comfortably. Our whole family was able to enjoy this extraordinary experience with confidence.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days with two adults and one dog. The high ceiling created an amazing sense of openness the moment we entered the Room, and the greenery spreading across the windows was even more beautiful than we imagined! We had a relaxing time cooking with ingredients bought at a local supermarket, listening to music, and unwinding—it was truly refreshing. We would love to stay again.

Stayed in mid-January. Thank you for the thoughtful amenities such as rice, sparkling water, eggs, coffee, and seasonings. As mentioned in some reviews, the sauna temperature felt a bit lacking. It might have been due to the winter season, but it was slightly disappointing. Additionally, the mirroring function on the projector didn’t work well—possibly due to poor Wi-Fi connection. However, the room, kitchen, and location were excellent! I would love to stay again.

The large public bath was excellent. I frequently use Route Inn hotels during business trips and am always satisfied. Thank you for your continued service.

The owner was very kind and gave us a warm welcome. They recommended many wonderful local attractions, such as apple picking, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Room was spacious enough for one person, very quiet at night, and provided a comfortable stay. Additionally, the **bath (bathtub)** allowed me to relax as if I were at home. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance!
