With beautiful views, a comfortable Room, excellent meals and hot baths, and above all the pleasant hospitality of the staff, we felt completely relaxed and refreshed. During Silver Week, we finally fulfilled our long-awaited Tohoku trip: Yamagata (Akayu) → Miyagi (Matsushima) → Iwate (Tono) → Aomori (Towada/Oirase/Hakkoda) → Shirakami-Sanchi. We spent every moment trekking right up until the morning of our arrival day, fully enjoying the mountain air—and then it was “the sea.” It was a wonderful way to end an enriching journey! We also heard you have a sister Accommodation in Iwate; we’d love to visit there as well, and would like to plan another trip along with returning to your Accommodation. One note from my husband: It would be perfect if there were also a beer server in the lounge! We hope to stay with you again.

This time, I stayed on the 60-minute Aroma Massage Plan, and it was wonderful! Surrounded by a soothing fragrance and treated with such attentive care, I could truly feel the therapist’s professional skill—my mind and body gradually became lighter and lighter. It was a blissful moment where all my everyday fatigue seemed to melt away at once. The service throughout the Hotel was also excellent. In the lounge, you can enjoy a relaxed, luxurious time with a drink in hand in a refined and calming space. One of my highlights—the meals—was outstanding as well. With every bite, you could taste the quality of the ingredients, and everything looked beautiful too. In every way, the hospitality exceeded my expectations, making this an exceptional Hotel stay that I would absolutely love to return to again.

I stayed here while visiting the Dewa Sanzan shrines. The Accommodation had a very relaxing atmosphere, the meals were delicious, and the bath was excellent. I also signed up the night before and was able to join an early-morning visit to Mt. Yudono. It was a truly rare and wonderful experience. I will definitely return. Thank you very much.

I recommend choosing an ocean-side room. I was able to relax and take my time while enjoying the view of Amanohashidate. What disappointed me was dinner. I should have looked more closely at the photos when booking, but the kaiseki course (with an additional charge) included no meat dishes at all and no grilled items. The food itself was delicious, but I still would have liked at least one such dish. I’d seen posts on social media showing meat grilled on a hot stone, so if you want a meat dish, the standard chef’s choice course might be a better option.

Local buses run from Shuzenji Station, and the bus stop is right in front of the Accommodation, so it was easy to find. With only a few Rooms, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Because the number of guests is limited, the staff provided attentive service. The guest Rooms make great use of a traditional kura storehouse design while incorporating Japanese-style elements. The open-air bath itself was spacious and very satisfying. Even though it was an open and airy space, there was a roof for rain protection, so we could still enjoy it on a rainy day. The privacy screens were cleverly arranged—there was openness to the garden and sky, yet views from outside were well blocked, making for an interesting design. The amenities also felt natural-focused while still being high quality. The restaurant is in a renovated old traditional house that preserves its original character despite feeling new. There are also separate areas for a bakery and gelato. All three were delicious, which fully satisfied our desire to enjoy great food: the umami of shellfish at dinner, the aroma of mushrooms, autumn flavors like grilled cutlassfish with matsutake mushrooms and ginkgo nuts; plus wonderfully tasty eggs at breakfast—and even sashimi served with morning appetizers. Everything was carefully prepared. This is a comfortable Accommodation where you can enjoy both mountains and sea, making full use of Toi’s nature and culture.

This was our second repeat stay. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us. [Room] The staff member in charge of our room was the same person who looked after us so well last time, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful, attentive hospitality. Because I have trouble with my legs and found the floor chair in the room inconvenient, I asked whether a regular chair could be provided next time, and they listened carefully and sincerely to my request. [Meals] Once again, the explanations of each dish were very easy to understand. As each course arrived, everything was a delight for both the eyes and the palate—enjoyable and impressive throughout. Both breakfast and dinner conveyed how wholeheartedly the chefs strive to create their best dishes in harmony with the seasons. With details such as information about ingredients’ origins and small hands-on touches like grilling or grating at the table, every meal had variety and a wonderful sense of rhythm that never became monotonous. [A moment in the lobby] While waiting for our meal, we enjoyed tea in the lobby and had a pleasant conversation with a staff member from France who spoke fluent Japanese. We could also feel how brightly motivated—and seriously dedicated—the younger staff members were as they worked. There were many things we learned from everyone on staff. [Hot spring] We were extremely satisfied with both the view and tranquility of the private bath in our room. Soaking at leisure while watching scenery change over time truly feels luxurious. While bathing, I was able to rediscover not only nature’s beauty but also how precious time is—and even learn something new about myself. [Byakudan] Byakudan is a place where its people, cuisine, hot springs, and atmosphere gently welcome every guest. Next time, we hope to visit again in spring. I’d also like to try an esthetic treatment for the first time—so until then, I’ll do my best at work!

Everything—from the meals and the Room to the amenities and hospitality—was outstanding, and we were completely satisfied with our stay! The open-air Onsen bath in the Room was incredibly convenient, as we could soak anytime we liked, and it felt wonderfully luxurious. Also, because this Accommodation has only 10 Rooms, we rarely crossed paths with other guests at “Owl no Yu,” so we could relax and enjoy the Onsen as if it were private. The kaiseki dinner was exquisite across the board. In particular, the miso-glazed eggplant (dengaku) and steamed eel rice left a lasting impression—they were truly delicious. You could really tell each dish was prepared with great care, and we enjoyed every bite to the very end. Breakfast was also excellent. It was my first time trying Nanban natto, and I liked it so much I wished I could take some home. The rolled omelet was fluffy and delicious as well. From the cuisine and Onsen to the Room—and above all, the heartfelt service from all of the staff—this was a wonderful Accommodation that satisfied us in every way. If you’d like to unwind in an Onsen while enjoying a drink and spend a relaxing holiday forgetting everyday fatigue, this is exactly the right place. We would love to visit again!

We stayed here for a family trip with my parents. At check-in, the staff explained the building while we enjoyed the beautiful garden view, which helped us understand the Accommodation even better. The welcome sweets and tea we were served were also delicious. As I am pregnant, I mentioned that I was avoiding caffeine, raw foods, and alcohol. They kindly switched the coffee prepared in our Room to decaf, provided non-caffeinated sword bean tea, and changed the tea served with meals to black soybean tea. I was truly impressed by their warm hospitality. Dinner was excellent as well. They even accommodated me with a separate menu, and I really appreciated their thoughtful attention to detail. Every dish was delicious, the portions were just right, and it was a wonderful meal overall. The private Onsen in our Room could be enjoyed 24 hours a day whenever we liked, which was fantastic. My parents seemed very satisfied too. This was our last family trip before our baby arrives, and we are truly glad we chose to stay here. Once things settle down, we would love to return and stay in a different Room as well.

From check-in to departure, we received warm, unpretentious hospitality. The meals were especially wonderful, and we were able to fully enjoy the seasonal flavors. The staff were friendly and cheerful in a natural way, making the stay enjoyable with their explanations of the dishes and leaving us feeling truly welcomed.

This was our second stay, and everything—from the facilities and cuisine to the service—was excellent. The room was spacious and well equipped with no inconveniences at all, impeccably cleaned, and the open-air bath was also generously sized, making it wonderfully relaxing to use. The meals made great use of quality ingredients while incorporating thoughtful touches, and everything was delicious. The truffle rice at dinner (maybe it was just my imagination) seemed even more fragrant with dashi than last time—it was so good I felt like I could eat bowl after bowl! All of the staff were courteous and attentive, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable stay from start to finish. We truly felt glad we chose to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed here on a trip to Awaji Island and was very satisfied! Both the large public bath and the Room were clean, and the amenities were well stocked, so I had a very comfortable stay. I chose a breakfast-included Plan, and I also liked that the seating was semi-private, so I could relax and enjoy it while chatting with my friends. All of the staff were kind and attentive, which made my stay very pleasant. The young staff member who showed me to my Room was especially easy to talk to, and I was happy they shared recommended spots on Awaji Island as well as local food suggestions. Thanks to you, it turned into a wonderful trip to Awaji Island. If I have another chance to visit Awaji Island, I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you!

Although it is an older building, it is well cared for and kept very clean. Thank you very much to the proprietress and all the staff. If checkout were at 11:00, we could have had a more relaxed morning... We would love to stay again.

I chose this place after hearing that the Horyu-ji storytelling tour was fascinating, and it was even more enjoyable than I imagined. If I hadn’t known anything, I might have just walked around for a few dozen minutes and been done, but the guide’s talk—full of knowledge and humor—made the two-hour tour fly by. The room was comfortable, and all the staff were courteous, so I had a very pleasant stay. It also made me realize how nice it is to take your time exploring a single temple in depth.

I love food and have stayed at many inns known for their cuisine, but the meals here far exceeded my expectations. Every dish was carefully prepared with excellent ingredients and great attention to detail, and the four of us—my parents and my spouse and I—enjoyed them with genuine admiration. The room was spotless down to every corner, the furnishings were beautiful, and the open-air bath was spacious and wonderfully relaxing. The woman who assisted us in our room was also outstanding. We could feel her thoughtful attention in everything—from the timing of each course to countless small details—which made our trip truly special. This is an inn I would love to visit again, and one I can confidently recommend.

I booked this ryokan for my in-laws’ trip, as I had previously given it to my mother as a gift and she absolutely loved it. They said everything was outstanding—the beautiful interior, the meals, and the baths. In particular, my parents-in-law live relatively nearby, but they were amazed to discover such a wonderful ryokan so close to home. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Shimane. Thank you once again for a truly wonderful time!

The well-trained young staff worked efficiently—just what you’d expect from the Kyoritsu Resort Group. When an extra alcoholic drink was mistakenly brought to our table during the meal, they handled it promptly afterward, leaving no negative impression at all. We were able to continue enjoying our meal. Even when buying souvenirs, the young staff assisted us without being pushy, and we were happy with our purchase.

Thank you very much for taking care of us during our 3-day, 2-night stay. We visited to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to your thoughtful hospitality, we were able to enjoy a relaxing and healing trip. Thank you. At the beach below the Hotel, it was quite windy due to a low-pressure system, but we were still able to snorkel and see some fish. The Room was just the right size, and we could relax comfortably. We also enjoyed the private open-air bath on the 5th floor without worrying about time, which made for a very restful experience. The meals were delicious from the jimami potage onward. Breakfast was also just the right amount and very enjoyable. It felt like there were more Western guests than we expected. We heard that an annex is scheduled to be completed next year, so we are really looking forward to it. We would love to stay with you again next time.

Although the building is a renovated traditional house, it has been beautifully refurbished. The Facilities and furniture are new, and the blend of old and new creates a very comfortable stay. Our Room in the front building was relatively compact, but more than sufficient. The staff were wonderful—professional, attentive, and kind. Thank you very much. We chose a breakfast-included Plan, and all nine small dishes were carefully prepared; each one was enjoyable and delicious. We also got to try their famous oden. Dinner at Simples, which we booked separately by Reservation, was truly outstanding. It’s a restaurant that moved us for the first time in a while. Every dish was exciting and delicious, and the service from our staff member was excellent—we would love to return. Finally, after checkout we joined a craft experience using an electric pottery wheel. It was great fun to work with real clay in an authentic way. We’re looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

A tranquil, standalone inn in Inami, selected by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the “50 Quiet Places in the World.” The houses lining the approach to Zuisenji Temple were each adorned with intricate wood carvings. We were thoroughly satisfied with the course meal featuring local ingredients, complemented by a refreshing aroma of smoked flavors. Both the room and dining area felt calm and relaxing. We’d love to return.

We visited Shuzenji Onsen to celebrate our birthdays. The sound of the river and the quiet, retro atmosphere were wonderful. We were able to relax in the hot springs, and it was nice that drinks, ice cream, and other refreshments were provided. The service was courteous, and it was clear that the staff consistently treated guests with great care. It’s a hotel we would love to visit again.
