We stayed here for our wedding anniversary. We were interested in the traditional hearth (irori), so we chose this Accommodation. Although it is old, it is well kept, and the staff kindly recommended various sightseeing spots, which made our celebration even more special. We also really enjoyed the irori experience. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.

This is a quiet, relaxing Accommodation overlooking the Tsugaru Strait. The meals were especially delicious, with each dish carefully prepared. The tableware also reflected the value and tradition of a Ryokan. With heartfelt service, it was a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much.

You can reach it from the station via the sidewalk, and there are restaurants and a convenience store inside the Hotel building, so it’s very convenient. The Room was clean and comfortable, and the Hotel’s female staff were very kind. When we visited again with my mother, who has difficulty walking, they remembered us and treated us with great care. Thank you very much. We will definitely stay again.

I booked a Room with an open-air bath, and also visited the large public bath. Both were very clean, and the open-air bath in the public bath area was well protected with insect repellent measures and sunshade coverage. As this is a sulfur hot spring, we recommend the open-air bath for guests who are sensitive to the smell of sulfur. The in-room open-air bath didn’t feel fully exposed from outside; it was more like a semi-open-air bath. Still, I could feel the breeze and relax comfortably in the water. The Room was near the free footbath area, so even during events you could hear what was going on—truly a prime spot. Dinner featured local vegetables and meat and was delicious. The original cocktails were also very easy to drink, so be careful not to overdo it. The young proprietress greeted us at dinner, told us about Arukuma Ale at the shop, and greeted us again in the morning—always cheerful and welcoming. Five stars for such a wonderful young proprietress.

I visited Ako with my wife during summer, craving the famous oyster dishes, and found Ako Park Hotel online. The food was truly excellent, reasonably priced, and offered great value for money. The staff were incredibly kind and provided exceptional service, making our stay enjoyable. The location is very convenient, being close to Ako Castle, and the Onsen was also fantastic. We will definitely return to enjoy oysters again!

Conveniently located very close to the subway station, making for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was also varied and delicious. The guest room was kept very clean. Some hotels often have a distinctive lingering odor, but this Hotel had none at all and felt exceptionally fresh and spotless. I was able to sleep comfortably as well. Another pleasant surprise was that the pajamas included pants. Most places provide only a top in a yukata style, but this Hotel’s service was attentive even in that regard. I would like to stay here again when I travel to Tokyo on business.

I had never seen coral grass before, and since the Coral Grass Festival is in mid-September, I honestly didn’t have high expectations for an October stay. However, from the moment we entered the parking lot guided by the Kagariya signboard, all we could say was “Wow!” The two of us on this girls’ trip were greeted by a stunning view of fully bloomed coral grass. I had no idea the location was this perfect. Although the building is old, it was impeccably clean and comfortable. The highlight, however, was the food. When choosing the accommodation, I had looked at photos, and the simmered Kinki fish was the deciding factor. The freshly caught Kinki fish served was just as impressive, if not more. It was so delicious that we applauded. Every other dish was equally delightful, leaving us completely satisfied. We stayed in a room facing the lake, and the breathtaking view of Lake Notoro from the window in the morning was unforgettable. From sunrise to the changing light and the many birds flying in, even red-crowned cranes came to feed. Next time, I hope to enjoy a full-course Kinki fish meal.

Facing the Kanmon Straits, it was soothing to watch the ships passing through all the time. The meals were carefully selected and delicious. It was also great to be able to see the straits from the bath; however, the bath was quite crowded with many local residents, which surprised me a little. As a request, I think it would be relaxing if you could use some aroma fragrance or incense in the corridor where the Room is located.

We decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary with crab, so we made a Reservation at the last minute. When we arrived, the proprietress welcomed us with a warm smile, and after check-in at the front desk, she kindly showed us to our Room. The building itself has a sense of history, and there are stairs and steps throughout, so it may be a bit challenging for guests with mobility issues. The Room isn’t large, but it was spotless, and thoughtful touches—like a heated carpet laid over the tatami—made it feel especially comfortable. After changing into yukata, we headed straight to the Onsen. We started with the large public bath only; even the baskets in the changing area were lovely and lifted our spirits. Once inside, we were impressed by the very high ceiling and stylish design—stained-glass doors and an elegant layout that created a wonderfully open atmosphere. Then came dinner—the highlight we’d been looking forward to. First was a refreshing sudachi aperitif that was delicious. The sashimi starter featured sweet shrimp that were wonderfully plump, and the firefly squid dressed with vinegared miso was surprisingly tender—the gentle flavor of the miso dressing was perfect. I’m not enough of a crab connoisseur to confidently tell all the differences (like tagged crab), but since it was a special occasion, we chose a Plan that included Taiza crab sashimi—and it had an incredible melt-in-your-mouth sweetness... We could enjoy it not only with crab vinegar but also with sudachi or salt—truly outstanding! That alone almost would have satisfied us—but this is where things really began: fragrant grilled crab; a rich yet clean-tasting Taiza crab miso soup; then crab hot pot followed by rice porridge; dessert of crab ice cream; and even chocolate mousse to celebrate our anniversary. It’s frustrating that all I can say is “delicious,” because everything really was. After dinner, we relaxed in the private bath we had reserved without worrying about anyone else around us, changed into pajamas (a very welcome touch!), and drifted off completely satisfied... The next morning we visited the bath with an open-air tub. This outdoor bath also had an ocean view and felt wonderful—we soaked slowly and enjoyed every moment. Breakfast was classic Japanese style—simple but delicious... It was my first time trying heshiko, and it was so good that I even used the discount voucher on our way out to buy some. They saw us off with warm smiles until the very end, making this an incredibly satisfying wedding anniversary trip. Thank you very much!

The bathtub was spacious and felt very open, which was great. Breakfast was also plentiful, and the soups in particular were outstanding.

Perhaps because there was availability on a weekday, they upgraded us to a larger Room. We were very satisfied with the open, airy Room and the mountain views from the large windows in our corner Room. The meals were all delicious, with plenty of dishes, and we left completely full. It was our first time trying venison—it was tender and excellent. The bath and the entire property were clean and very pleasant.

This is an Accommodation I had long wanted to stay at, and I was able to relax in this quiet place with only five groups. The Room had both a bedroom and a Japanese-style room, and it didn’t feel cramped at all. There are four Onsen baths with open-air tubs, and you can check availability on a tablet, so we were able to use them without waiting. The water temperature was just right, and it stayed warm without getting chilled afterward. The main building’s bath is also available at night. Dinner, which I had been looking forward to, was just as delicious as expected: Hida beef grilled over charcoal right in front of us, and salt-grilled char so tender you can even eat the bones. Each dish—such as the apple-based sauce—made me feel happy every time it arrived. Breakfast was also wonderful, with local Hida flavors such as hoba miso grilled over charcoal and dried sweetfish. The late-night pressed char sushi and yogurt were delicious too, leaving both my mind and body refreshed. I accidentally left something behind in the Room, but they contacted me right away, which was very helpful. It’s an Accommodation that’s hard to get a Reservation for, but I’d love to visit again next time. Thank you for everything.

This was our second stay. It was a trip for just my father and me, and the food was excellent—we were very satisfied with both breakfast and dinner. We would be happy to stay again someday.

This time, we stayed in the Jinshiro Room. As always, the in-room bath was incredibly relaxing. The meals were delicious too!

This time we stayed in the dog-friendly Room with our daughter and her husband. My spouse and I have stayed here four or five times, and we keep coming back because the meals are delicious and the service is very attentive. It was our daughter’s first visit, and she was happy with how good the food was. Since it was our first time visiting in summer, we were surprised by how many insects there were and how crowded it was, but we were able to spend comfortably in the Room. However, one Room for four people and two dogs felt a bit cramped, so next time we plan to book two Rooms. The Room was clean and had no dog odor.

I stayed in Sapporo mostly by myself throughout June, and close to the last day my family of three stayed here as well. This used to be New Otani Sapporo, and the Room is spacious in a classic city-hotel style and has been beautifully renovated, so I had no complaints at all. Breakfast is also wonderful—you can enjoy as many of the famous pancakes as you like, and it’s a great way to start the day feeling happy. I’ve seen some comments about the age of certain bathroom fixtures, but on the higher floors I was soothed by the mist setting with a ReFa shower head. On lower floors, it’s a two-handle mixer tap type; however, perhaps because of that, the water pressure is extremely strong and you can fill the bathtub quickly. Combined with the shower head, I could even massage my legs in the shower, which personally left me very satisfied. I plan to stay here again whenever I visit Sapporo in the future.

Thank you for your hospitality. The bath, Room, and meals were all just as good as those at Accommodations that cost more than twice as much. The staff also kept the perfect level of attentiveness, making our stay very comfortable. The view of Ena Gorge from the Room window was spectacular, and we would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

This was my fourth stay. This place is exceptionally well-equipped for dogs, and everything is comfortable. When it comes to Facilities where you can stay with your dog, owners often have to compromise on something, but here both the meals and the baths were completely satisfying. The Hotel staff are kind, and it’s simply a very welcoming place. We stayed during the Obon holiday period, but it was wonderfully cool, and our dog—who had been worn out by the summer heat of over 35°C every day—was full of energy again. It’s truly an ideal summer retreat.

The view from the Room was outstanding. A breathtaking panorama of lush green rice fields spread out beyond the window. Moonlight enjoyed from the soothing open-air bath, and the pairing of Yamagata ingredients with wine was exceptional. From amuse-bouche to dessert, everything was deeply satisfying. After breakfast, we took a walk around the rice paddies and breathed in deeply as the breeze swept through the countryside. It was truly healing for both body and mind. Next time, I’d love to come back to see the golden fields.

The Facility is a bit old, but it was very clean and extremely comfortable. The meals were standard, but the content and portions were just right for an elderly couple; everything was delicious and we finished it all. The bath was clean with a great view. The open-air bath in particular was a cypress bath with an excellent view, and it was wonderful. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to stay again.
