Thank you for allowing us to check in early. The Room was fantastic. Previously, the dinosaur-themed Room delighted our children, but this time the Room was very spacious, and they especially loved the net swing, taking turns to enjoy it. On the first day, since it was raining outside, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the guest room from check-in. We would love to stay again. Next time, we might try glamping!

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.

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

It was a truly wonderful Accommodation. The Room, meals, and Onsen were all completely satisfying. The staff were also very kind, and we were able to relax and enjoy a comfortable stay. We also enjoyed the nature of Norikura, and it is an Accommodation we would definitely like to stay at again. Thank you very much.

My wife wanted to visit Yufuin for the first time, so we stayed here. It’s in a quiet location, and the dinner and breakfast served in the thatched-roof main house were delicious. The bath was also very comfortable at just the right temperature. However, we did see stink bugs, crickets, and winged ants in the washroom and hallways, and my wife—who dislikes insects—was not happy about that. Still, since there is a semi-open-air bath, it’s understandable that insects may come in during this hot season. Other than that, it was an excellent Accommodation, and next time I’d like to bring our grandchildren.

We stayed with seven people and one Shiba Inu. The house was spacious, well stocked with amenities, and the kitchen was very comfortable to use. The area was very quiet, and it felt like we had the wide ocean all to ourselves. Fishing for whiting from the concrete pier was fantastic. The sauna was also excellent, and cooling down while looking out at the sea afterward was pure bliss. Kids, adults, and our dog were all very satisfied.

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.

Okushiga is the most remote area within Shiga Kogen. In return, the snow quality was excellent, there were fewer people, and our stay was very comfortable. The Hotel itself felt quite old, but functionally there were no particular issues. However, the ski lockers were small and limited in space, so it was a bit difficult to fit skis and boots inside, and the area for putting on shoes was also cramped. The bath was not an Onsen, but it was spacious and relaxing to use. For dinner we used the French restaurant. Although Reviews were not very positive, the à la carte menu was very delicious. Breakfast had a decent variety and was satisfactory. Bathrobes were provided in the Room. I only realized at checkout that yukata could be provided upon request; I would have liked to have known earlier. The front desk staff responded politely and helpfully throughout our stay.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve stayed here (probably 5+). It’s hard to find an Accommodation you can stay at within “one Shibusawa” during peak season—there are fewer options to begin with, and the limited supply gets snapped up instantly. But this place (the roadside-type chain, *standard brand only*) is a safe choice. I’ve said it many times: having the bare minimum—parking, a large public bath, breakfast, and a Room where you can spend the night alone without being made uncomfortable—is surprisingly hard. Even within this chain type, these basics can sometimes be missing for reasons that aren’t the Hotel’s fault. In short: it’s necessary and sufficient, so it works. If you want other reasons—an open-air bath, gourmet food, etc.—look for another Accommodation. (There are plenty around Lake Suwa… though they’ll easily exceed “one Shibusawa.”)

We were blessed with great weather and were extremely satisfied with the stunning views and the delicious, carefully prepared dishes (there was more than we could finish). The Asian foreign staff member who served us was very courteous, and their smile in particular left a lasting impression, making our trip truly wonderful. It’s far away, but this is an Accommodation we’d love to visit again.

This Accommodation is located near a ski resort, and the building feels a bit dated. There was still a faint scent of old tatami in the room, but we didn’t encounter any stink bugs that sometimes appear at mountain lodgings, which was reassuring. The bath is an Onsen with a gentle feel on the skin and a slightly silky texture. I prefer soaking slowly in warm rather than hot water, and the temperature was just right for me. Dinner is served around an irori hearth. There seemed to be a tour-bus group staying that day as well, and the dining area was nearly full. Their menu appeared to be different from ours, but our hearth-grilled dishes were carefully turned at the right time by the attendant, and everything was delicious. This isn’t an Accommodation for those seeking glamour or luxury, but what impressed us most was the very reasonable price. It’s surprisingly affordable for a place listed on IKYU—about the cost of one night at a Business Hotel in Tokyo—and it even includes dinner for two. Considering the cool summer climate and this price point, it was more than satisfying stay.

The Onsen is wonderful. The views from the Room, lobby, and Onsen are full of nature and very relaxing. The building seems old, but it has been well maintained and was clean. The staff were all cheerful and greeted us warmly in clear voices, which felt great and made us smile too. It was also fun to try making our own jingisukan and kama-meshi for the first time. This is a reasonably priced Onsen Hotel that you can truly enjoy—I highly recommend it.

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.

Considering the price, both the breakfast and the bath offer excellent value for money. I would like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

We stayed here for the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival. The building seems old, but the Room, floors, and Facility are clean. The meals are very delicious. There was plenty of rice, vegetables, and side dishes, and we ended up eating too much at every meal. The Onsen has several types of baths, so you can relax and enjoy it comfortably. We would love to stay here again for the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival next year.

We stayed during Golden Week with our extended family—two households, seven people. Even though it was Golden Week, we were impressed that we could stay at the regular rate. The Room and bath were clean and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious and very satisfying. Thank you very much.

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.

Now that our family schedules finally lined up, we stayed at Yunishikawa Honkan again. The open-air bath is the perfect temperature for us, and this wonderful natural hot spring keeps our bodies warm until the next morning when we soak slowly and relax. We also always look forward to the Japanese meals, which are consistently delicious. The many dishes and the local sake tasting are excellent as well. The Onsen egg served with breakfast is outstanding, and this time too we ordered two packs to take home as a souvenir. For us as a parent and child who enjoy mountain stream fishing, this Accommodation is an important place to unwind, so even when it’s not for fishing we’d like to make time to visit again and enjoy the wonderful Onsen. This time we stayed in the Room at the very end of the 5th floor, and it was very comfortable with a toilet and air conditioning. We also enjoy hearing the owner’s stories every time—about hunting bears long ago, catching giant char, and gathering large maitake mushrooms. We are truly grateful to the proprietress emeritus, the proprietress, and all staff for their hospitality. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you in advance when we do.

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 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!
