While enjoying the view overlooking the town, I sipped coffee and reflected on life. Though brief, I appreciated learning about Kyoto through the provided books. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you.

When making the Reservation, I couldn’t operate my smartphone and contacted them directly. They explained that booking from a smartphone is a better deal, and although I’m not used to it, I was able to make the Reservation. On the day, I stayed with my elderly father who has a disability. Our Room was on the first floor, and the Onsen was on the same floor and nearby. My father loves Onsen and used it three times during our one-night stay. We were very satisfied with the Onsen. There is also an AEON nearby, which was very convenient. I would like to stay again.

I didn’t have much time to relax on this trip, but I was very satisfied with the courteous service despite my late-night check-in.

With the prominent sign and easy-to-park lot, we arrived without getting lost. The staff were pleasant and welcoming at check-in. There was a wide variety of welcome drinks after check-in, and my child enjoyed them after the bath. The bath area was very clean, so we could relax and soak at ease. It seems they prepared a ladies’ Room for us, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious stay with the hair dryer and nano steamer. My child really liked the Hotel and says they want to stay again—if we travel, they want it to be Super Hotel. I also found this to be a Hotel I’d like to use again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

The roads in Arima Onsen are narrow, and they kept getting narrower on the way to the Hotel parking area, which made us a bit anxious, but we arrived safely. The staff were kind and attentive, and there were snacks and drinks in the lobby, so we could relax. The Room was also clean and well prepared; we took a short rest and enjoyed a walk around the Onsen town, which was fun. Since we requested a later dinner time, we were able to enjoy the bath at a leisurely pace. We thoroughly enjoyed plenty of meat with our meal. The other dishes also felt carefully prepared and were delicious. It was also nice that we could enjoy dessert in the lobby later in the evening after taking some time. If I had to mention one thing, it would have been better if breakfast items like bacon and sausages were served hot. We thought this might be our first and last trip to Arima Onsen, but now my spouse and I would like to visit again. We were happy with the Room upgrade—thank you very much.

We stayed for two nights because our child had a soccer match nearby. The Onsen, with its black mineral water, was very relaxing, and we were able to unwind. We chose the Plan with two meals included, and everything was delicious—I think we even gained a little weight from eating so much. The breakfast in particular was great, with a wide variety of side dishes. On the way home we got caught in torrential rain and had a difficult trip back, and I hope all the staff were safe. Everyone was very kind, and it’s an Accommodation we would love to visit again.

The rates were higher because it was during the Tokushima Awa Odori festival, but I think it was still a great deal compared with other hotels. Since it was near Naruto Station, I was unexpectedly able to watch the Naruto Awa Odori as well, which was wonderful. The Room was clean and spacious, and the view from the window was great. As it was No Meals Included, we ate what we bought in the Room. The in-room refrigerator was fairly large, and it was also nice that there were a microwave, ice, and paper cups available. Even though it’s close to the station, there are somehow no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so it may be inconvenient if you’re not traveling by car. However, there is a well-known kamaboko shop nearby that opens early in the morning, and I could buy some without waiting in line. It was a three-night Multiple Night Stay, but I was disappointed that the disposable slippers were poor quality. I’d like to stay again next year as well, but it seems Reservations can only be made about three months in advance—so I would appreciate being able to book a little earlier.

This is my favorite Ryokan in Izu Kogen. It was my first stay in a while. This time, my eldest daughter—who usually works extremely hard as a nurse—was able to take an unusual long weekend and said she wanted to celebrate my birthday, so we decided to stay here. There are nine private baths, each with a different style. My daughter was thrilled and kept saying, “I’m going to try them all!” At dinner, the kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) I specially requested was huge, and she happily said, “Dad, this fish is delicious!” She smiled the entire trip. The one who felt most healed by this relaxing getaway was me—the father. The staff’s service was truly top-notch, and our stay was very comfortable. I’d love to visit again. Next time, I’ll probably get scolded if I don’t bring my younger daughter too.

I found this Accommodation while looking for a nearby place to stay on our way to Kamikochi. It’s a wonderful Accommodation in a quiet mountain village, and everything—the atmosphere, the meals, and the Onsen—was extremely satisfying. We visited with children, and I really appreciate their thoughtfulness, such as preparing the largest Room for us. Although it was near the end of the season, we were able to join the free firefly viewing event and saw about 10 fireflies—it was truly moving!! The Hida beef in the meal was tender, sweet, and absolutely delicious! The Onsen includes both simple spring water and mildly alkaline water; neither has a strong scent or feel, so it’s very refreshing. Some people might find it just slightly hot. The Room was spacious and relaxing, and even in late July it was cool at night—we could turn off the air conditioner, open the windows, and sleep comfortably. We will definitely be back!! *The only thing I noticed: I’m not sure whether it’s due to prefectural policy or the Accommodation’s policy, but there were many foreign staff members (Southeast Asian) working in the dining area. They were friendly and very kind so it didn’t bother us at all, but some guests may feel differently. If you’re concerned, you may want to contact them in advance.*

The building itself looks a bit old, but the interior has been renovated and is very clean. There is a great selection of amenities you can choose and take with you, and the in-room items are also very useful (a makeup mirror, charging cables, etc.). The Room key is a physical key, not a card. The breakfast you can choose the day before is delicious, and even the side salad uses colorful vegetables—better than what you’d expect from a Business Hotel breakfast. I stay here a few times a year, but Rooms are sometimes unavailable, so I make my Reservation early. I’ll be back again.

Although I booked this Hotel at short notice, the front desk service was excellent. It is close to the station, and the Room felt comfortable like a studio apartment. The toilet and bath are separate, which made it very relaxing.

The Room was small, but it was very good. The breakfast was also delicious.

We stayed here during the Obon holidays for a three-generation family trip. Maybe it was a special Obon event, but there was an ambayashi and shaved-ice corner, and we ended up relaxing in the lobby for quite a while. We stayed in a Japanese-Western style Room, and it was clean and nice. The building is clean as well. I especially liked the open-air pot bath. We were also able to use the large public bath without it feeling crowded. They offer shampoo rentals, but since it’s first-come, first-served they run out quickly, so I wished there were a system that would allow more guests to use them. We also appreciated having diaper trash bins and board games available to borrow. For dinner we chose the private-room Plan, and it was a very spacious Room that could probably fit around 20 people; tables and chairs were set up on both sides. The individual boat platters for each person were gorgeous—we were very satisfied. We ordered a kids’ meal for our 3-year-old; the website showed udon in the photo, but what came out was soba. Since we hadn’t given our child soba yet, udon (and pudding) would have been easier—perhaps it’s meant for slightly older children. At breakfast there were two kinds of miso soup (seafood and mountain vegetable), and you can choose; we tried both and they were delicious. This is an Accommodation we’d love to return to if we have another chance!

I stayed for one night on a business trip. It’s conveniently located near the station, with convenience stores and restaurants close by! The Room was compact but clean, and I had a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was more filling than the photos suggested and delicious. There is also an affiliated parking lot, so I’d like to stay here again when I visit Tokushima.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay in our Room. The spacious, beautifully appointed Room, the open-air bath while listening to the gentle sound of the river, and the truly delicious cuisine supported by carefully prepared dashi made for an incredibly luxurious and unforgettable time. Although it was described as “quality over quantity,” we were more than satisfied with the generous portions as well—every dish, including crab and fish, was outstanding and deeply impressive. We visited to celebrate my mother’s retirement, and she was thrilled, saying she had never had such delicious food before. With a bath in the Room and in-room dining, our family was able to unwind at our own pace; we felt completely refreshed and ready to do our best again from tomorrow. The staff were efficient, cheerful, and welcoming, making our stay very comfortable. Thank you very much—we would love to visit again!

This time, I stayed in a corner Room (Type C) on the top floor (4th floor). Because it was a semi-open-air bath with 24-hour circulation, I could use it anytime without the hassle of filling the tub, which was great. I chose a Plan without meals, so I stocked up at a local supermarket before arriving, but the selection of frozen foods and boxed meals there was limited and overpriced—I wish I had shopped at Don Quijote across from Marine Town instead. The check-in process at the Accommodation is a bit unfriendly and may be confusing for first-time guests. You open the sliding window by the stairs on the 1st floor and operate via a touch-panel monitor, but you need to enter your Reservation Number or QR code. You also need to enter information for accompanying guests along with the Reserver’s details, so it would be better if this were explained in advance in the Reservation instructions. It also would have helped to know beforehand that you must pay a Hot Spring Tax of 300 yen per person at check-in. *Depending on the booking site, this information may have been provided. The Room was very clean, and unlike typical hotels, there are plenty of power outlets—so charging devices shouldn’t be an issue. There are also outlets by the bedside (upper area) along with lighting, which is convenient if you charge your phone while sleeping. Free Wi-Fi was available; with three other guest groups (judging by the number of cars in the parking lot), speeds were reasonably good. Getting to the Accommodation may take some effort due to rough road conditions. If you take the road marked “No entry except Minori Village personnel,” it works as a shortcut and you can reach it without problems; however, if you simply follow GPS directions, you may end up on narrow roads and taking a longer route—so checking in advance is recommended. If you’re lucky with other guests, it’s quiet and ideal for relaxing indoors at your own pace. If that concept suits you, I think it’s an excellent Accommodation.

The Room was clean, and the staff were very friendly and professional. Thank you!

On my first stay, I used the lounge and the pool. The lounge menu isn’t extensive, but everything was delicious, and the drinks are brought to your seat, so you don’t have to walk around unsteadily and can relax with peace of mind. Since I was bringing my mother, I hesitated a lot when choosing from several options, but everyone who assisted us provided such pleasant service that I’m truly glad we chose this Hotel. Next time, I’d like to come back soon with my husband! I’ve found another favorite Hotel!

We used the round-trip shuttle bus from Kashikojima. Everyone at the front desk and in the dining area was kind, which made our stay very pleasant. There was a wide variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. In the playroom, we could enjoy board games and table tennis, so our grandchildren didn’t get bored while waiting for the return bus. Both the building and the Facility felt a bit old, but it gave us the impression that everything was thoroughly cleaned. The nearby sea at Jirokuro Coast is famous for its beautiful waters. Next time, I’d like to invite friends and enjoy a relaxing resort trip here. There were many clouds, so we couldn’t see the stars or moon clearly during nighttime stargazing. I’ll look forward to that next time as well.

Thanks to you, we had a wonderful trip. Spending the day relaxing in complete privacy, without meeting anyone and without worrying about time, was truly a luxury. And the sushi dinner was outstanding—we couldn’t have been more satisfied. We felt genuinely refreshed and made wonderful memories. Thank you very much to all the staff.
