Thank you for hosting me during my solo trip to Oita. As mentioned in the reviews, I enjoyed the exceptional onsen and delicious meals. The private bath allowed me to relax at my own pace. Dinner included Oita specialties like toriten and ryukyu, along with various other dishes that paired perfectly with beer. The next morning, I received helpful advice about sightseeing after check-out and purchased a ticket for the mushiyu experience at the accommodation, which was slightly discounted. The balance of attentive yet unobtrusive service made my stay very comfortable. If I have the chance to visit Kannawa Onsen again, I would love to stay here. Thank you for everything!

We stayed as a group of four adults. Everyone was kind, starting with the warm and friendly proprietress. Until about 10 years ago, we stayed here several times every summer, and this time we returned after a long break. Every dinner dish was delicious, but we were especially amazed by the size of the spiny lobster, abalone, and sea bream sashimi platter mentioned in the title. A spiny lobster overflowing from a tub about 50 cm across. A red abalone about the size of a palm. Freshly ikejime sea bream. When we used to come with children, the meals were for two adults and two kids. This time our children were charged at adult rates, so the portions were for four adults—and our kids, now used to more grown-up flavors, were very satisfied. As expected, compared with eating around Toba Station, the seafood on Toshijima is much fresher! The fried shrimp and swimming crab were also large, and breakfast was unbelievably delicious as well. The air conditioning worked throughout the building. The Washlet toilet in our Room—with an automatic lid operated by a motion sensor—was very clean and much appreciated. Recently we had been choosing budget stays and my wife had to put up with limited bath or toilet facilities, but returning to New Yamashichi after so long made her very happy. It was an Accommodation we were truly satisfied with.

Thank you for waiting for us even though we arrived late at night due to train delays. We made a Reservation with a breakfast-included Plan, and the portion size was just right for adults with a small appetite. While the building has a charming atmosphere, it was also a calm and clean Accommodation. In particular, the ceramics displayed throughout were all impressive, and we enjoyed taking our time to admire them. (They looked quite expensive, so families with energetic children may feel a bit nervous.) We would definitely like to stay again on our next trip to Beppu. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. We were able to spend a relaxing time with our family over the New Year holidays in an amazing location! The beautiful weather made the sunset views even more spectacular. The amenities were excellent, and we enjoyed the sauna, pool as a cold plunge, and even had a family karaoke competition. We would love to stay here again in the future!

The bed was spacious, which was helpful since we had children with us! The Room was clean, and we appreciated the 12 o'clock checkout without any extra charge. I have no complaints, but the photos made it look a bit old, so I think they should be updated. We will use your service again. Thank you very much.

Upon check-in, the entrance was crowded with foreign guests, some sitting on the floor with scattered luggage, which was surprising. The trash bins were overflowing, and there were items like empty instant noodle cups. The room and amenities were pleasant, allowing for a relaxing stay. However, the space between the bed and wall was narrow, making it difficult to find a spot to open a suitcase. Breakfast offered both Japanese and Western options, so even during my two-night stay, I didn’t get tired of it.

We came back for a second try to see the fireflies after missing them last year. Perhaps thanks to the good weather and temperature that day, we were able to enjoy a breathtaking display of fireflies like a sky full of stars—it was truly moving! Being welcomed by the cats was also very soothing. We’d love to visit again next year.

The property is a prominent building located just a short walk to the left from the station's front, making it easy to reach. Although it's in the opposite direction of the downtown area, it’s still very accessible (I actually went there). However, I was disappointed with the refrigerator as it didn’t cool well; drinks were not chilled enough, and freezing ice packs was impossible even on the top shelf. Additionally, there was no bedside light, which made it difficult for me to read before bed as I usually do—the room lighting alone felt too dim. The breakfast curry and udon were delicious!

Right in front of the nearest Ugata Station, it was a stylish Hotel with a restaurant on the first floor. The Room was great—not only did it have a bed, but it also had a loft-style layout with a desk underneath, so we could relax before going to sleep. It was also convenient to have a convenience store nearby. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shima Spain Village!

We stayed with four adults and two dogs. By the bedside, there were a cot bed for the dogs, pet pads, and dog diapers provided, which was very helpful. The meals were separated for dinner and breakfast and stored in the refrigerator, and instructions were included, so preparing them was easy. We were very satisfied with both the portion size and the taste! The hayashi rice was delicious. The sauna also got properly hot—very satisfying as well. Convenience stores and supermarkets are nearby, so it’s easy to buy extra drinks. We bought spiny lobster at Roadside Station Chikura, and it was great that the provided cookware and tableware were large enough to handle it easily. It was so comfortable that we relaxed until right before checkout—sorry we couldn’t tidy up much. It was a wonderful break for us (and our dogs). Even before our stay, your email communication was very courteous, which made us feel at ease. We’d love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I have stayed in the TOJI Room for five nights, twice a year, for the past five years. Since the COVID period, I have been using it as a Toji stay service designed for remote workers. Walking around the Beppu Kitahama area near the Ryokan is also a great way to refresh. The Onsen temperature control and water quality suit me very well, and I bathe at least five times a day.

The location was great, and the bathroom and toilet were separate. Everything was well cleaned, so I had a very comfortable stay. Since it was the ReFa trial Plan, I was surprised when I was handed a large cart at the front desk with a hair dryer, hair iron, and roller inside, but it gave me plenty of time to try them out. They were so good that I’m considering buying them.

This was our second visit to this glamping site. Being able to enjoy glamping with no preparation and light luggage is a huge plus for those without camping experience, and the Facility felt clean overall, making it comfortable and reassuring for everyone from children to adults. Each Room dome has its own concept; the color schemes were beautiful and the amenities were well equipped. There were a mini fridge, electric kettle, instant coffee/tea/green tea, air conditioning/heating, plug-in insect repellent, a Bluetooth speaker, outlets with USB ports, blankets, a hanging rack, an external toilet & shower room (strong water pressure, adjustable temperature settings, and a washlet toilet), as well as a BBQ space. We chose the Plan with dinner and breakfast included. Everything was extremely delicious—and there was more than enough food. At night (depending on the weather) there was also a campfire option, which really added to the camping atmosphere. For future improvements, I’d love to see more activity options such as bamboo dragonfly toys or cup-making using bamboo; an athletic play area; seasonal events like fireworks or water-gun games; snowball fights or roasted sweet potatoes; or hands-on experiences like working in nearby rice fields or vegetable gardens. There is also a simple lookout platform in the bamboo grove that I don’t think was there last year. If the weather and timing are right, you can apparently see the ocean, townscape, and sunset from there. Outdoor voices tend to carry slightly into the domes, so I felt guests may need to be mindful of each other at night. The free-drink area was relatively close by and convenient to use. The beach is nearby as well—an ideal place if you simply want to relax. They also offered free rentals such as badminton sets and board/card games. We would love to come again.

It’s a bit far from the nearest station and there isn’t much around, but there are basic shopping options within walking distance. The building is somewhat hard to find and the entrance is narrow, so you may miss it unless you look carefully. The layout is such that when you get off the elevator, you’re immediately at the entryway; through that door is the guest Room. I stayed in a top-floor Room, and it was very spacious and everything was spotless. We were told to bring our own cookware (frying pan, pot) as well as small plates and cutlery (chopsticks, fork, spoon), but the drawers had the essentials provided, so we didn’t need to bring anything extra. As for soundproofing, since it’s one Room per floor there was no concern about noise from other Rooms or inside/outside traffic; however, perhaps due to its former commercial use, some outside ambient noise can be heard even with it closed through a small high window in the wall, which may bother sensitive guests. The only drawback was that—as many Reviews mention—at the very back of the Room near the area leading to an emergency exit there is an exposed frosted-glass door, which felt quite unsettling.

Even when we arrived early 10 years ago on a family trip, they kindly let us use the pool. This time we stayed as a couple, and just like 10 years ago, all the staff were warm and welcoming, making our stay very comfortable. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much to the Taiwanese attendant who took such good care of us.

As this is an unmanned Hotel, the entrance may be locked if you arrive late, so we recommend checking in by around 21:30 at the latest. The Room was clean and well maintained. There is a bath in the Room, and you can also use the affiliated Hotel’s Onsen free of charge, about a 5-minute walk away. However, it’s not close enough to go there in a yukata and slippers, which is a drawback. It’s fine on clear summer days, but it may be tough in rainy weather or during winter. Since we had an early departure the next day, it was convenient to stay at an Accommodation near the station.

The moment we opened the front door, the view that greeted us felt like a scene from abroad. The location was even better than the website, and we were truly impressed. On the way back, the Aqua-Line was closed due to an accident, so we took the Tokyo Bay Ferry from Kanaya to Kurihama instead. The ferry was comfortable too, and it made us feel as if we’d gone on an overseas trip with our dog. The toothbrush came with toothpaste already on it, so next time we’ll bring our own toothpaste. Since the bath doesn’t have a reheating function, you need to get in soon after filling it.

I stayed alone for a live event, but the spacious Room had three beds. The bath, sink, and toilet were separate, so I could relax and enjoy soaking in the tub. It was my first time using a Mirable shower, and the mist felt very pleasant. You can borrow pajamas at the front desk, and there are basic amenities available, which is helpful. (However, the coffee wasn't to my taste... sorry.) It's conveniently close to the station, so I would love to stay again if I have another opportunity.

We had a comfortable stay. Thank you very much.

We enjoyed being able to drink the Onsen water, the nearby Jigoku Onsen, and the many private family baths.
