I’m enjoying retirement and return to Japan twice a year (we usually live in Los Angeles), spending a month visiting Onsens with my American husband. His favorite is a famous Accommodation in Kinosaki Onsen, but even he said the food here was exceptionally delicious. We enjoyed two days of truly tasty meals—not just generous portions and many dishes, but outstanding flavor—and it made for a very satisfying Onsen trip. Transportation was inconvenient, but the food was so good it made us forget the inconvenience! Also, as coffee lovers, this was the first time we’ve been able to enjoy authentic coffee at an Onsen Ryokan. This is an Onsen Accommodation we definitely want to stay at again every year before our trip to Kinosaki Onsen. Also, the shampoo and conditioner in the Onsen smelled wonderful and left my color-treated hair smooth—I was very happy with them! Compared with Kinosaki Onsen, the proprietress and staff here were incredibly kind. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the same positive experience we did.

This was my first time staying here. It was about a 15-minute walk (at a relaxed pace) from JR Chuo Main Line Ryuo Station. There is a 7-Eleven along the way. There are several chain restaurants near the Accommodation. Both the Accommodation and its Facilities have a retro Showa-era feel, but the free-flowing natural hot spring water is wonderful. There are two indoor baths; in one of them, you can soak while breathing in radon and ozone. There is also a separate cold-water bath, with continuously flowing water as well. The baths are available all night, but close at 8:30 AM, so be sure to take your morning bath early. The Room toilet has a washlet bidet seat. I had a very relaxing stay. After work, I took the limited express from Tokyo Station (the 6:15 PM Kaiji bound for Ryuo) and arrived in about two hours with no transfers. I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

The front desk staff’s exceptional thoughtfulness truly made us very happy. Thanks to the front desk staff, we had a wonderful time in Izumi City and throughout our trip to Kagoshima. They also told us about the Izumi City sightseeing coupons, which helped us enjoy an even better time. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed here with my elderly parents. My mother has knee problems and uses a wheelchair when traveling, but our Room was on the 3rd floor and the elevator only goes up to the 2nd floor, so getting around inside the building was difficult. Since I didn’t mention at the time of Reservation that we would be using a wheelchair, it couldn’t be helped... The hot spring water was excellent, and I used the bath three times. Being able to choose from different shampoos and other amenities was especially popular with the women in our group. Breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes—I ate too much.

We stayed here as a family of three during the summer holidays. I often visit the Chunichi Building, and the 7th-floor restaurants and observation terrace have long been favorite spots, so I wanted to stay at the Hotel as well. The view from the front desk was wonderful—you can overlook Sakae and even see as far as Nagoya. Depending on the Room, you may get that same view, but our Room faced the opposite side, with views toward landmarks such as Higashiyama Tower. Even so, it was still a great view and we enjoyed it fully. As it is a new Hotel, we were very satisfied with both the design and comfort. The Room and bathroom were spacious, allowing us to relax comfortably. We also appreciated how crafts showcasing artisan techniques from the Tokai and Hokuriku regions were incorporated throughout. In particular, I love Arimatsu shibori dyeing, so I was happy to see it used for items such as cushion covers in both the front desk area and our Room. My husband used the bar and said it was great. We felt this is an Accommodation we could confidently recommend to international guests as well. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

I used the spa sauna twice, on the first and second days. There were always clean towels, bathrobes, and amenities available, and the high-temperature sauna was very relaxing! Perhaps for eco-friendly reasons, there are fewer amenities in the Room. Even though two of us stayed, there was only one set of cotton pads and swabs. The slippers were plush and very nice. The staff were extremely helpful. Even the international staff spoke in a Kansai dialect, which left a great impression.

I wanted to relax on my own for a change, found a great-value Plan, and made a Reservation. The staff welcomed me with warm smiles and guided me smoothly to my Room. They even told me where to buy delicious peaches, and I was already so happy I chose to come. After resting in my Room for a bit, I headed straight to the Onsen. It happened to be quiet at that time, so I ended up soaking for ages. I felt like my skin looked better and it really lifted my mood—so after dinner, I went back in again. Finding an Onsen I truly love was the best part of all. The ice cream after the bath was also great. Breakfast was a half-buffet featuring mainly fermented foods—and it was amazing! I especially loved the dried daikon radish and hijiki simmered in tomato sauce so much that I want to make it at home. The salmon served first was also plump and delicious; it made me think, “Is it really okay to enjoy something this luxurious in the morning?”—such a wonderful escape from everyday life. Each dish was light and refreshing, so you may find yourself eating too much—in that sense, be careful (lol). I also loved that check-out is at 11:00, which meant I could enjoy another relaxing soak in the Onsen in the morning. Everyone on staff was kind, and this has become an Accommodation I definitely want to stay at again. Thank you very much, Ryokan Meiji.

Thank you for having me for one weekday night. I was told at check-in that the hotel was almost fully booked, but it was great to be able to check how crowded the large public bath and dining venue were, so I could use them comfortably without rushing. If I had to ask for one thing, having one more set of towels per person would have made the stay even more comfortable.

I stayed here in May while sightseeing in Miyazaki on my way to Kurokawa Onsen. I chose the No Meals Included Plan because it offered flexible check-in and check-out. The rooms were very clean, and despite the great value, parking was free, the Hotel was right in the middle of downtown, a convenience store was nearby, and there was a large public bath—everything I needed. I’d like to stay here again when I visit Miyazaki.

This is a very comfortable and pleasant Hotel. The Hotel is located right in the center of Old Karuizawa, within an easy and enjoyable walking distance for an early-morning breakfast. All the staff were welcoming and friendly, always with a smile. We were upgraded as there was availability, and they even let us check the Room before check-in. There are chairs along the corridor leading to the lobby, making it a nice spot to sit and relax. Thanks to everyone on the staff, we were able to enjoy a truly relaxing stay. Thank you very much.

I was very satisfied because I was able to stay at a very reasonable price with breakfast included. I arrived at the Hotel quite late, but the staff were very helpful. Above all, my child seemed to love it and even left a message in a notepad before we left.

Although we arrived a little late for check-in, the hostess kindly welcomed us, and we were able to relax and recover from our fatigue in the Onsen. The Room was also comfortable—we just wish we had arrived a bit earlier to take our time. We would like to stay again.

The Facility and amenities are a bit dated, but the Room was thoroughly cleaned. The staff at the shop and during meals were very helpful. The large public bath was also spacious and clean. For this price with two meals included, it’s a great value.

I stayed on Sunday. I expected a simpler hotel for the price, but the amenities were well-equipped, the room was clean, and it was quiet, so I was very satisfied. The distance from the station felt a bit far when walking with large luggage. This time, I stayed alone due to feeling unwell on the day of my stay, but next time I would like to stay with someone else. Thank you very much.

Recently, when the timing works out, I’ve been staying at APA Hotel. This was my first time at this location, but it’s right in front of Kyoto Station, very convenient for getting around, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby so you won’t have trouble finding somewhere to eat. Breakfast was served at the coffee shop on the first floor; while the selection was limited, everything was tasty. The best thing about APA Hotel is how great the bed and pillows are. Haha The pillow was so good that I bought the same one and use it all the time. Haha When I visit Kyoto again, I’d definitely like to stay here!

The Room was spacious and clean, and there were various bath options, making for a relaxing stay with pleasantly warm water. It was a Hotel with excellent value for money.

At check-in, I was able to choose my breakfast, and at the venue it was served individually, allowing me to enjoy a relaxed meal. I chose the Japanese set and had grilled dried horse mackerel. It was very delicious. I was able to spend a leisurely time and was completely satisfied!

The breakfast was excellent. The parking lot is right next door and very convenient, but it can sometimes be difficult to use due to unauthorized vehicles.

Although we checked in late after watching Monbetsu Horse Racing, we were warmly welcomed. They upgraded our Room, and since it was our wedding anniversary, we were very happy. We had a very relaxing stay. Thank you very much.

The star-filled night sky was breathtaking, and the night trekking—something you rarely get to experience—was simply amazing. I was able to make irreplaceable memories with my 8-year-old daughter. Thank you so much.
