The view from the Room feels like you’re in Okinawa or even Hawaii. The bath with an ocean view was amazing, and the toilet was surprisingly impressive. The spiny lobster sashimi at dinner was outstanding. The spiny lobster miso soup for breakfast and the freshly grilled dried horse mackerel were also very delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

There are three types of Onsen: a private open-air bath, a family bath, and a large public bath—all of which were very satisfying. The meals were also delicious. We were able to spend a quiet, relaxing, and happy time.

I felt soothed by the tatami flooring, by the staff’s kind hospitality, and by the simple, peaceful atmosphere. The location was also great, and I was able to relax at a leisurely pace. However, next time I plan to request in advance that breakfast be something like “one type of fish plus natto.” *This is not a complaint—it's just that I can’t finish a large meal anymore as I’ve gotten older.*

I’ve traveled to Tochigi many times, but this was my first visit to Yunishigawa Onsen. When choosing an Accommodation, the open-air Onsen and the meals were especially appealing. After arriving, I took a moment to relax with a cold welcome drink and a refreshingly cool towel—perfect for the heat. Once shown to my Room, I was soothed by the view from the window: mountains and a river. Dinner was served in a private room with an irori hearth, where many dishes were laid out. Over the hearth, various ingredients such as venison, beef, chicken, and yamame trout were grilled. We also enjoyed “isshobera”: minced chicken and crushed walnuts mixed into flavorful miso, spread onto a bamboo spatula and grilled, then placed on rice. Everything was truly delicious and beautiful to look at as well. For breakfast, we had piping-hot tofu made right in front of us along with many small side dishes—so filling even in the morning. Next time I’d love to visit during the autumn foliage season to enjoy a different view, so I hope to stay again when I return.

I was hoping to visit Kamikochi and enjoy an Onsen, but this Ryokan was even better than I expected. The bath had wonderful water and a great atmosphere, and the meals were delicious. The staff’s hospitality was also excellent. I went with my family, and everyone was very satisfied—it became a great memory for us all.

The Onsen water quality was excellent. The seasonal kaiseki cuisine also lived up to its reputation and was wonderful. Nearby, many guests were enjoying river activities and BBQs, which was fun to watch as well. During the wait before check-in, we took a short walk in the mountains and found it cool and comfortable even in summer. It has become one of the places we would like to visit again if we have the chance.

In a small Japanese-style room, I enjoyed the sweetness of local vegetables while imagining that merchants from long ago might have stayed here alone as well. Perhaps because of the terrain there is no railway, which may help create the town’s calm atmosphere. On the way back, when I was kindly given a ride on the bus toward Chichibu, I was deeply impressed by driving that was more considerate than anything I have ever experienced. Even on mountain roads, the driver’s smooth control never caused sudden tilts in any direction, and he consistently kept safely to the left edge of the road to allow oncoming traffic to pass. I wasn’t able to thank the driver when getting off, so please allow me to express my gratitude here.

My spouse, our younger daughter, and my 88-year-old mother stayed for one night. The arrival briefing was thorough and easy to understand, and whenever we had questions—at any time and in any place—we always received accurate and courteous assistance. What made us happiest was celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday at the restaurant. As a complimentary service, they served a special dish with sea bream, red rice, and sake; dressed my husband in a purple outfit; and even took a commemorative family photo for us. It became a wonderful celebration, and we were truly moved by the restaurant staff’s thoughtful hospitality. The food was excellent, especially the fresh seafood. The Awa Odori event was also very enjoyable. Thanks to everyone at the Hotel and restaurant, it was an unforgettable trip, and we are sincerely grateful.

My third stay. For me, Ace Hotel Kyoto has become a destination in itself. In addition to the unbeatable convenience of being directly connected to Karasuma Oike Station, I’m always impressed by the staff’s warm smiles, thoughtful attention to every detail, and the remarkable quiet of the Room—so peaceful you don’t hear a single sound. It’s a Hotel that makes me want to stay forever. To all the staff, thank you as always for your heartfelt hospitality. I’ll be back again on my next trip to Kyoto.

We stayed here as a family during our summer vacation. The pancakes, pudding, and every meal were all very delicious. We felt a warmth in the staff’s hospitality that isn’t swayed by changing times, and it made us feel pleasantly nostalgic. It’s a wonderful Accommodation we’d love to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much.

I chose Sapporo JAL City because I like the breakfast at JAL City, and I was satisfied. There was a wide variety of breakfast options, and the taste met my expectations. The relaxation area after the bath was very comfortable, and they also had ice cream, which I really appreciated.

We enjoyed a crab kaiseki meal, and every dish was carefully prepared and truly delicious, allowing us to fully savor the winter flavors of the San’in region. The Room was equipped with a massage chair, so after warming up in the Onsen we could relax and loosen up at our own pace, making our stay very comfortable. It felt as though the fatigue from our trip simply melted away, and we appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail. When we arrived by car, three staff members welcomed us, and their warm greeting immediately brought a smile to our faces. Throughout our stay, every staff member was courteous and pleasant, which made us feel at ease. We felt that the excellent hospitality further enhances this Accommodation’s appeal. It was a highly satisfying stay where both body and mind could truly rest. We would love to visit again.

The Room was very clean and lovely, and I had a comfortable stay. The windows open fully, so you can really enjoy the riverside atmosphere. In the morning, I could even see boats collecting clams. It’s also close to the bus stop, making it convenient for getting anywhere. Everyone at the front desk and the cleaning staff were kind and helpful. The bathroom was clean as well, and it was very pleasant to use. One downside was that there was no luggage rack. Since I have back pain, I placed my luggage on the desk with permission, but then I couldn’t use the desk, which was disappointing. Also, not having a clock by the bed was a small inconvenience. If these points are improved, I think it would be an even more comfortable stay. That said, it’s a wonderful Hotel. I’d definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.

I come to Wakayama once a month and stay here each time. This time, the front desk was extremely helpful, and I really appreciated it—thank you to the front desk staff. Also, when I write my requests on the in-room questionnaire, they are sometimes fulfilled later on. I’m very grateful. I also like the Facilities, such as the large parking lot, public bath, and breakfast service.

We stayed as a couple in our 60s in a semi-double Room with breakfast included. The Room was not large, but it was clean and had a bath and toilet. The standout feature is the natural Onsen with a sauna and cold plunge bath. The water has a pleasantly silky texture and excellent quality. Breakfast was buffet-style; the selection was not extensive, but everything was delicious. We think it is a very good Onsen Hotel, and we would like to stay again if we have the chance.

At check-in, there was only one staff member, so I wondered if something was going on and whether everything was okay, but we received warm and attentive hospitality. We enjoyed rare local dishes such as salted grilled coho salmon and soba bean sprouts (absolutely delicious), and also tried painting kokeshi dolls while listening to a live Tsugaru shamisen performance (a wonderful souvenir), which let us fully experience the spirit of Aomori. The Onsen was at just the right temperature (slightly hot), warmed us through, and relieved our fatigue. It was all-inclusive, and we were able to enjoy plenty of drinks as well. Thank you very much.

We planned a “family reunion” trip at the end of summer vacation and stayed at Maihama View Hotel by HULIC, Hearth Symphony Room—absolutely the right choice. Since it was our grandchild’s first time in Maihama just after turning one, we didn’t go to the Disney Resort; instead, we caught a glimpse of Disneyland’s “Reach for the Stars” from the Hotel, and the adults enjoyed the large bath and sauna. We also really enjoyed the lounge, which was available from 12:00 on our arrival day until 4:00 p.m. the next day. In central Tokyo Hotels it can be difficult to bring a baby into a lounge, so we chose Maihama this time, and everyone at this Hotel was truly kind to our baby—we were very grateful. Since there were four of us in one Room and a baby crib wouldn’t fit, we requested bed guards; when our grandchild got excited and kept moving around and we spoke with the front desk, they even surrounded two beds with bed guards for us. The amenities were excellent as well—bath salts, face masks, and more—making it a wonderful break for our daughter who is raising children. We’d love to visit again soon. Thank you very much.

Great location. I was really torn about where to meet up with my daughters who live in Yokohama, but we decided to gather in Ryogoku. It was a great choice. It has convenient access not only to Yokohama, but also to Hamacho, Ginza, Oshiage, and Tokyo Station, so we agreed to get together again as a family before we parted ways. The chanko hot pot at breakfast was delicious.

This was my second stay, with the goal of simply enjoying a Hotel stay—something I love. This time I upgraded my Room and chose one with a terrace jacuzzi—and it was absolutely the right choice! The moment I walked in, I was blown away: high ceilings with an open atrium feel, curtains draped across wall-to-wall windows, a terrace larger than expected, and a generously sized jacuzzi. Even better, we enjoyed the jacuzzi with drinks—pure luxury. There was also a Bluetooth BOSE speaker, an AirDog air purifier, pajamas and bathrobes— every single amenity was excellent. The space was wide and stylish, and the beauty of the building from the outside carried through to the interior as well. I also fully enjoyed the lounge. Both the breakfast galette and every à la carte item were delicious—I stayed satisfied from start to finish. It was such a happy time! Done—I’ll definitely be back.

We traveled as a family with our dog, and the meals were delicious. The open-air bath in the Room was also very relaxing, making it a wonderful trip.
