All the dishes were very delicious, and every member of the owner’s family was pleasant and kindly answered our questions. The bath is an Onsen like a pool, and it was basically assigned a time slot on a first-come, first-served basis upon arrival; there was no second session, which was disappointing for someone who loves baths. The stairs were wet, perhaps because the previous guest didn’t dry off before getting out, which raised hygiene concerns. I understand that things like changing mats may be difficult, but some countermeasures might be worth considering. The Room felt clean, although the windows and other features show their age.

We checked in after 6:00 p.m. because we came after the Gokase River canoeing experience, but thank you for accommodating dinner service starting at 6:30 p.m. The meal was very delicious, and we were completely satisfied. A small stream also ran right beside our Room, and its sound and atmosphere were very soothing. Next time, I would like to visit during the season when fireflies are dancing. At night we used the indoor bath, and in the morning we used the bathing Facility on site; both had great water quality and were very relaxing. I wasn’t sure whether the indoor bath was fed by Onsen water, but it had a wonderful atmosphere, and since the ceiling was a glass window, it felt like a semi-open-air bath. (It was also fun to see a gecko clinging to the outside of the glass.)

We stayed here with our two children on the way back from Kashiwajima. The staff’s explanations were very thorough, the meals were delicious and more than we could finish, and the Facility was clean—our kids were thrilled with the bunk beds. The nearby Onsen in the adjoining facility was also excellent, and we appreciated receiving stylish amenities. Occasionally small ants came in, but that seems unavoidable with glamping. We’d love to stay again.

This was our second stay, and this time we enjoyed a three-night Multiple Night Stay. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the amenities and bath facilities were excellent. The Room was spacious and spotless, with beautiful interior design. Thanks to the thoughtful care shown to guests, we had a truly comfortable trip—thank you. Whenever we visit Azumino, this is the Accommodation we choose.

It was very close to the entrance of Akame 48 Waterfalls, making it extremely convenient for walking and exploring. The building is old, but the furniture and interior are refined and do not feel rustic. The food was also delicious. We went by car, and there is a steep slope in front of the Accommodation, so it’s best to drive carefully there. Some parts of the road on the way are narrow, but they are well maintained, so as long as you watch out for oncoming cars, there should be no problem.

Initially, I made a Reservation without dinner to attend a live concert at Kawaguchiko Stella Theater, but the Accommodation kindly provided a Shuttle Service to the theater. This allowed me to have dinner at the Accommodation as well, and I was very satisfied. It was extremely disappointing that Mt. Fuji was not visible at all due to the rain.

A few days ago, I stayed at a Marriott in another location, and the room layout and design were exactly the same. It was easy to figure out things like the light switches right away. As with my previous stay, both the lobby and room were clean this time as well. Since it was a slightly chilly day and my body felt cold, I did notice that there was only a shower booth available.

I stayed here on the first day of my trip to Rebun Island and Rishiri Island for the first time in about 25 years. The front desk staff were very kind, and check-in was smooth and pleasant. They upgraded me to a Room with windows on two sides and a great view, which felt like an excellent value. As for the baths, only one side has an open-air bath and they rotate between men’s and women’s use. More than that, the washing area on the side without the open-air bath is L-shaped and narrow, so it can be difficult to wash comfortably when it’s crowded. The hot spring water quality was very good. The best part was the food: there were so many delicious dishes—sea urchin, octopus shabu-shabu, grilled scallops, and more—and I was completely satisfied. Truly Rebun Island quality. Breakfast was also excellent, including rice topped with a special egg with a pale yolk from rice-fed hens. The next day I took a sightseeing bus and then boarded the ferry in the afternoon; being right in front of both the bus stop and ferry terminal made it extremely convenient to leave my luggage at the hotel. If I visit Rebun Island again, I would definitely stay here again.

The road leading to the Hotel was bumpy, but the front desk staff were kind and guided us. The bed was comfortable and the air was fresh, so I would like to stay again next time.

It was a small Hotel, but it was clean and nice! There was a beautiful river right in front, and I’d like to go swimming there next time!

It was a bit hard to find when driving to the Hotel, but it was reasonably priced, and Gin-no-Yu Onsen was right in front. It was perfect for a girls’ trip—four of us could stay together, and the Room was spacious. The air conditioning was already on when we entered the Room, which was amazing! We also enjoyed exploring the Onsen town and visiting Kin-no-Yu Onsen. The shops closed early so we had to hurry, but overall we were very satisfied. Thank you!

I stayed here after hiking Mt. Kisokoma. It’s a warm, family-run Accommodation, and I truly felt welcomed. They also responded kindly and thoroughly to my questions in advance, which I really appreciated. The simmered carp was carefully prepared so I could eat it without worrying about the bones, and I even had seconds of the barley rice—it was delicious. From the Room window, I could see the morning glow over the Southern Alps, and soaking in the Onsen was deeply relaxing. Next time, we’d like to visit during the autumn foliage season for another hike up Mt. Kisokoma—and to come back for the starry sky we didn’t get to see this time. Thank you very much.

I have stayed here several times and am always very satisfied. The staff are all pleasant and excellent.

The building is old, but this is a very cozy Accommodation that makes you want to come back. They accept up to three groups per day; the toilet and washbasin are outside the Room, but they are assigned for your exclusive use, and the Onsen is also reserved privately by time slot. We stayed one night and used it three times in total. As they call themselves a cuisine-focused Accommodation, the food was delicious and more than enough. The owner trained at a soba restaurant, and his handmade soba is served at the end—hearty portions and extremely satisfying. The chicken offal stew and horse sashimi were also excellent. On top of that, chatting with the handsome owner was so much fun that we’re definitely coming back. We visited in summer this time, but we’d like to visit in autumn next time.

The Accommodation was very clean and well maintained. It felt newer than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Dinner was stylish and delicious, with plenty of great dishes—I’m glad I chose the plan with dinner included. The open-air bath was an Onsen, and it warmed me up comfortably. This is an Accommodation I can recommend, and I’d love to stay again.

We stayed for 3 nights during our summer vacation trip with our child. It was our first time using smart check-in, and we were worried it might not go smoothly, but it was fine. If we visit Amami again, we’d like to stay here again. It’s conveniently located about a 10-minute drive from the airport, clean, and reasonably priced—overall we were very satisfied. Summary ・The Room was very clean! Since there is no cleaning service for a 3-night stay, we borrowed a floor wiper and cleaned ourselves. ・We watched the night sky from the rooftop. It was around the full moon, so according to locals the sky was bright and the stars weren’t at their best, but it was still beautiful and felt like a special escape. ・Since we didn’t go out at night with our child, it was great that we could watch TVer, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube in the Room. ・Only a 30-second walk to the beach! We had it all to ourselves and enjoyed it fully. Even starting in the late afternoon was enough time to play, so our child didn’t get bored. It was also convenient to be able to shower before going back into the Room. The sea was so clear that we ended up buying snorkeling gear on short notice. ・There are two washing machines and two dryers. Because it’s a busy season with many guests, it was inconvenient having to wait for others to come pick up their laundry. Especially at night, if your timing is bad they can be in use no matter how many times you check. ・As other Reviewers have mentioned, there are truly very few restaurants nearby. Many places are only open during the day (e.g., until 6:00 PM), so it’s best to plan dinner in advance. The nearest convenience store is also about a 10–15 minute drive away.

This was my first time staying here. Due to scheduling, I chose the No Meals Included plan, but the owner was very kind (thank you for carefully keeping my forgotten item). The flower bed outside the window was also well maintained, and I had a pleasant stay. Next time, I would like to enjoy a meal made with homegrown vegetables.

We stayed one night in a glamping tent where we could spend time with our dog. Both the night view and the sunrise were beautiful! The BBQ was delicious too! However, the front desk is unattended from 20:00 to 8:00 (phone support only for emergencies), and there was no refrigerator Facility in the tent. Since we had to leave for our next destination by 8:00, we couldn’t ask the front desk to freeze our cooler ice packs, which was disappointing. This is essential in summer, so it would have been great if the Room had a small fridge/freezer.

It is located very close to the Tanegashima Space Center. The pink building stands out. The building and Facility feel a bit old, but everything seems clean. There is no large public bath; you use the in-room bath, but the shower has good water pressure and the tub fills with hot water quickly. I stayed in a twin Room, which was relatively spacious and had a balcony. The view is wonderful, with an elephant watering area right in front of you. There are no USB sockets in the Room, so you will need a power adapter/plug. Perhaps because there were few guests, breakfast was served as a set menu: Western-style Eggs Benedict on the first day, and Japanese-style on the second day with chicken rice (Keihan). I also requested dinner: a Western steak course on the first day and a Japanese shabu-shabu course on the second day. All meals were delicious. The selection of alcoholic drinks also seemed fairly good. The staff provided pleasant service, and I had a great stay.

I stayed for one night and two days. The staff were very polite and kind, and their friendly conversation made my stay truly enjoyable. I also used the sauna, and the facilities were well equipped—I was very satisfied. My friend who stayed with me even said, “We want to stay one more night,” because we had such a meaningful time. It was a wonderful Accommodation that made me want to return every year. I will definitely be back!
