Nationwide × Accommodation With Full-Course Crab DiningHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 14Page Number

We enjoyed a delicious, filling meal with fresh sashimi, two Takezaki crabs (one male and one female), plenty of grilled oysters, steamed clams, tempura, and crab rice porridge. The Onsen sauna and open-air bath were closed, but the indoor bath had a bubble bath feature, and we went in three times. This is an Onsen Ryokan we would love to visit again.

It was my first trip to Wakasa, and I made the booking after watching the weather closely. Part of the first-floor area was under construction, but it was kept clean and left a good impression. The Room was very spacious and comfortable. The view from the window was the sea. Given its age, some signs of wear are understandable. Overall, it felt like a quiet and pleasant Hotel. The meals were plentiful, and I thought they tasted great. Next time, I’d like to stay again when traveling to Mikata Five Lakes with my siblings and their spouses.

I was first impressed by the spacious layout, something you can only find in a Facility built in a more prosperous era. I headed straight to the bath—the water was quite hot, and since it’s a radium Onsen, my body stayed warm for a long time afterward. Before dinner, I was able to watch Netflix on the TV, so the time that I would usually spend feeling bored until dinner passed in a really meaningful way. Dinner also featured many Miyako specialties, and everything—from the soup to the tempura to the mixed rice—was served piping hot and was absolutely delicious. No matter which Kyukamura I stay at, the staff’s thoughtful yet unobtrusive hospitality always makes it very comfortable. Thank you very much.

It was amazing. As others have mentioned, the meals were plentiful and included fresh sashimi platters and large tagged crabs, with a wide variety of delicious dishes that left us impressed. The accommodation, including the rooms, was clean and beautifully designed with a warm wooden atmosphere. The onsen warmed us to the core and kept us feeling cozy even after getting out. We’ve searched for delicious crab in many places, but Showakan was truly the best accommodation we’ve experienced.

Thank you very much for your hospitality the other day. I also appreciate your courteous replies to my emails. It looked like an Onsen Facility is currently being built next to the Hotel, and I’m looking forward to its completion! Although it is not a large Hotel, I was able to spend a comfortable time in a quiet setting. I brought home the origami crane that was in my Room and have it on display, thinking of all the effort from your staff. Thank you very much.

I stayed here the night before because I wanted to see the Kaiwo Maru under full sail. At check-in, I unexpectedly ran into a child on the stairs! And again when heading out for dinner, right in front of the bath area! My wife and I laughed and wondered if it was a “zashiki-warashi,” and it gave us a warm, cozy feeling. The food was delicious, and we were very satisfied. As for the Kaiwo Maru under full sail mentioned in the title, perhaps because the weather was bad in the morning, it wasn’t fully set—only about half of the sails were raised. It was disappointing, but we decided we’ll check another full-sail day and come again. When we do, we’d love to stay here again.

I thought the temaki sushi dinner was a really great idea. It looks like the kids would enjoy it too. The bath is also an Onsen, and my skin felt so smooth afterward. The view is outstanding!! It’s right in front of Sunset Beach. I hope I can come again...

This Accommodation was located right in front of Lake Suigetsu. The staff, who were very knowledgeable about the local area, were a pleasure to talk to and provided great service, and the blackthroat seaperch and other local ingredients were truly delicious.

We stayed in the Glamping Egg Suite for a birthday trip! As a birthday surprise, we arranged a cake and wine with the help of the Hotel staff. Thanks to their support, it became a truly wonderful birthday memory! Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, but we still had an amazing time and fully enjoyed our first barrel sauna experience. We’re truly grateful to the Hotel staff—thank you so much!

I stayed with my husband during the New Year. It was snowing and cold that day, but the Room was warm and welcoming with the heater on. The bath was very relaxing, but there was only one hairdryer, and despite others waiting, someone kept using it while looking at their phone, so I dried my hair in the Room. The meals were more than expected in quantity—so much that we couldn’t finish everything. We ate plenty of crab to our satisfaction. If you choose this Ryokan, I recommend coming with an empty stomach! Although we couldn’t explore due to the snow, I would love to stay at this Ryokan again.

The food was amazing!! The service was great too! They even saw us off when we left!

My parents, both over 80, love crab, so we visited mainly for the crab buffet. The meals were great—not only the crab, but also a wide variety of dishes, especially at breakfast. The bath was also wonderful; it was nice to soak in a hinoki bath. We requested a Japanese-style Room plus an additional 4.5-tatami area, but the 4.5-tatami space was located right by the Room entrance and wasn’t very usable, which was disappointing. In that case, a standard Japanese-style Room would have been fine. All staff were cheerful, kind, and pleasant. The baths also seemed to have been renovated or renewed, and it felt like the Hotel is making a strong effort overall, which I appreciated. This time we were able to use a coupon on Yahoo Travel and I think we probably got the best price available. When I explained that we were traveling with two elderly guests, they kindly arranged a Room with easy access to both the bath and dining area, which we truly appreciated.

The location was excellent, and it was convenient to be able to stop by during the day to drop off our luggage. Breakfast was delicious as well. At first I felt a little nervous because the front desk staff member was from overseas, but she assisted us very politely and made us feel at ease. I definitely want to visit Kanazawa again, and when I do, I’d love to stay here again!

The Facility is old, but it was clean. We were very satisfied with the meals, and the all-you-can-drink alcohol option was great.

The meals were delicious, and the portions were just right. The Onsen’s changing area was immediately by the entrance, which made me a little uneasy at first, but it was about the size of a home bath and was well cleaned, so it was nice.

Recommended by a gourmet friend, I stayed at this accommodation. Having lived in Eastern Hokkaido before, I had visited the surrounding area often but was not very familiar with Lake Kussharo. Curious about the place, I decided to visit and was immediately impressed by the stunning mountain views from the lodge. The rare snowfall for this region added to its charm this year. The experience of checking in via canoe or snowshoe from Lake Kussharo was truly memorable. The accommodation building featured facilities such as a sauna, cold bath, and barrel bath. It was delightful to cool off while enjoying the snowy scenery after using the sauna. For the first time, I also experienced tending a fireplace with firewood, which allowed me to spend mindful and relaxing moments. The meals were Chinese-inspired cuisine and absolutely delicious! The chef skillfully prepared luxurious ingredients like abalone and shark fin for an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you for kindly preparing additional mapo tofu as well—it was fantastic! Breakfast was equally exceptional. While having dinner, it started snowing outside; we appreciated how staff thoughtfully cleared snow just before we returned to our room in the accommodation building. Although it would be nice if improvements could be made regarding some minor points—such as whether or not the baths are onsen or addressing slight odors in rooms with toilets and showers—the overall experience far outweighed these small concerns. It left such an impression that I ended up making a summer reservation before leaving! This place is truly remarkable—I look forward to visiting again during another season for more unique experiences. Thank you so much for providing such precious memories!

This Accommodation is well known for its excellent cuisine. The dishes were beautifully presented and tasted outstanding. While primarily Japanese, they also incorporated Western elements, offering new flavors and textures that made every course memorable. The Onsen was neither too hot nor too cold—just the right temperature—and the water quality also felt very good. I was extremely satisfied with both the meals and the Onsen. The staff were polite and kind. If I had to mention areas for improvement, although it can’t be helped that the Facility is old overall, there was no air conditioning in the corridors, so I started sweating on the way back to my Room after bathing. Also, there was only one face towel in the Room, so I ended up drying and reusing the towel I took to the bath. I was also concerned that an emergency light in a corridor seemed close to burning out. Despite many wonderful points, a few things were disappointing.

Right in front of Lake Kussharo—an unbeatable location. Rera is built diagonally in front of Fre, so you may be a bit aware of each other’s presence, and I did wonder what it would feel like if someone walked by while I was in the bath. The view from the second floor is simply stunning. The ingredients for the meals are luxurious and delicious, but unfortunately the wine selection didn’t match our taste (it would have been nice if at least the grape varieties were listed). Despite the overall great sense of style, there were some everyday-looking items like hand soap placed in the washroom, which slightly took away from the atmosphere. There was a faint damp smell on the towels, and the indoor slippers felt too ordinary—disposable ones might actually be better.

The Room was very spacious and comfortable—almost too big for our family of four plus our dog. Soaking in the Onsen while looking out at the ocean, our dog and kids had a great time running around in the large grassy garden. At night we enjoyed fireworks and watched a movie together in the living room, spending a relaxing and peaceful time away from the Golden Week crowds. The dog amenities were also fully provided, which we truly appreciated. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

The meals were delicious, and we were able to relax. We will definitely visit again.
