The location was good and it was sufficient for just sleeping. We had a bath and breakfast at the Hotel right in front. The Onsen was spacious, and the meals offered a great variety—excellent overall. However, on the way to the Room on the second floor, there was an exhaust fan and I accidentally hit my head, so I would like this to be improved.

We stayed as four adults while returning home with my mother, who uses a wheelchair. We made a Reservation for a kaiseki course in a special Room with an Onsen. From check-in to check-out, the staff were outstanding. Not only did we have no complaints, we were able to relax in complete comfort. The Onsen had both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and following the sommelier’s recommended way of bathing left our skin silky smooth. At dinner, we enjoyed sake as well as beer. When we couldn’t decide what to choose, a staff member knowledgeable about sake came over and carefully explained each label, helping us find recommendations that matched our preferences. The Room was spacious and spotless. The amenities were excellent, and our whole family was very satisfied. My mother had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage two years ago, so I was worried about how much she would be able to enjoy the stay due to aftereffects. However, she said the food was delicious and ate happily. The in-room Onsen—fed by the same water as the large public bath—was also wonderful for her with family support, and she was very pleased. She bathed twice: at night and in the morning. It certainly wasn’t cheap, but it was an experience that exceeded its price in satisfaction.

I brought my own toothbrush and sleepwear, and since there was only a shower I rated it 3–4 stars, but the location was excellent and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. A morning walk along the river is highly recommended.

I booked without realizing it was a famous canal, but I’m glad I got to stay in such a historic place. The futon was warm, and I slept soundly even with the air conditioner off. The bath was spacious, impressive, and very comfortable. I’m not sure what is normally provided for the welcome drink tea, but maybe it wasn’t replenished? Or is coffee the main option? It was disappointing that there wasn’t enough for everyone. There were dishes available, but it was unclear whether they were microwave-safe (probably not), so ceramic plates would have been better. We bought sashimi labeled “locally caught” at the supermarket, and the knife was sharp, which really helped. With only the dining table it felt a bit cramped, so it would have been even better if the low table were larger and more practical. I think many guests would be concerned about insects (ants?) in the washroom, so it may be worth taking measures to address this. Also, you should definitely try the pancakes! The café is far away but has a great atmosphere, and it made our trip much more satisfying.

The building is old but kept clean, so there were no issues. The bath includes an open-air bath where you can relax while enjoying the night sky and ocean in a private setting. Dinner was very hearty, featuring Chita beef, Ise lobster, sashimi, sushi, and octopus rice—truly satisfying. The buffet-style breakfast was also delicious. The staff at the accommodation were extremely kind. The fluffy and warm futon was excellent as well. The return shuttle service felt like a thrilling roller coaster ride! I had a wonderful time and fully enjoyed my stay. I would love to come back again. Thank you very much!

It’s a very new and exceptionally clean Facility. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days and had a very comfortable time. [Location] About a 30-minute drive from the airport. It’s in a quiet area, but it’s along a main road, so it’s easy to find. You can walk to the beach, but the east coast tends to have more driftwood, so compared with the west coast it may feel a bit disappointing... [Facility] With a full kitchen, a bathroom with bathtub plus a separate shower room, and two toilets, it’s equipped enough to live in comfortably. It felt like visiting an apartment model room. There is also a pool (not large), and it’s heated, so you can likely swim even on cooler days. [Parking] A spacious parking area is available on-site. [Other] The staff were kind and very attentive.

The Room was very clean, and we were also happy with the reasonable price and the free breakfast. This was our first time having dinner at TSUTAYA Kitchen, and it was also reasonably priced and very delicious. We will visit again.

I stayed here for one night on the second night of my five-night solo trip to Kusatsu Onsen from Fukuoka, and I’m glad I was able to get a Reservation. I had heard that Kusatsu Onsen has various types of spring water, so I chose this Ryokan because it has a great reputation for its water quality and allows solo guests to enjoy the Onsen. Just as expected, the Onsen was truly wonderful, and I enjoyed soaking many times. I also visited several public baths—hot, tingling springs like Jizo-no-Yu felt great—but Gokurakukan’s comfortably warm Onsen was perfect for a long soak. It’s also recommended for those who don’t like very hot water. Towels were available in the Room as well as in the changing area by the bath, which was very convenient. Another nice point was being able to go to the Onsen without passing through the front desk, making it easy even early in the morning. The Room was clean, and the toilet was exceptionally spotless. I was happy to find Matsumura manju served with tea snacks. The free breakfast was delicious—the bread was wonderfully chewy. I also had dinner at the restaurant on the second floor; both the curry doria and carrot salad were excellent. At check-out, the owner and staff kindly gave me detailed sightseeing tips around Kusatsu. Thanks to them, I learned about Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano Prefecture and went there using car sharing. After waiting about 30 minutes, I was lucky enough to see monkeys soaking in an Onsen—it was amazing. The next day, I used car sharing again and enjoyed Ikaho’s hot spring buns and Mizusawa udon as well. It became a truly memorable solo trip. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and next time I’d love to stay with my family—thank you very much.

I visited after a long time. As before, the Room was equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and I enjoyed the unique view from the high floors. The staff were very friendly, which allowed me to relax and enjoy using the Facility, including the lounge, making my overall experience highly satisfying. During check-in, I was informed that breakfast would be served in the lounge and that dining at the restaurant would incur an additional charge. While I initially felt a bit disappointed as I had been looking forward to enjoying your Crème Brûlée French Toast for breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised by how delightful breakfast at the lounge turned out to be. Although the buffet itself is smaller in scale, it was wonderful to have various types of Dutch Baby pancakes available for order. I look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you very much for your hospitality this time as well!

I recently stayed at the accommodation for a special occasion. From check-in to check-out, the staff provided exceptionally courteous service. The foreign staff members were also highly proficient in Japanese, allowing me to feel comfortable and at ease throughout my stay. We celebrated a birthday in the room this time, and the heartfelt message included with the room service hors d'oeuvres deeply moved the birthday celebrant. The Beef BOX was also incredibly delicious, creating wonderful memories for us. I was delighted to find hair oil available at the amenity bar, which showed thoughtful attention to detail. The room offered a view of Tokyo Tower, allowing us to enjoy stunning scenery from dusk until late at night. I would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you so much for making our special day truly unforgettable!

It was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the eel set meal, and every dish—from the appetizer to the final course—was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The daily set meal was also outstanding, with each dish prepared personally by the chef. The quality rivaled Michelin-starred restaurants, and even the tableware showed great taste.

I stayed here on a business trip and had a very comfortable stay. The room was simple yet functional, with calming lighting and colors that made it easy to relax. It’s also close to Shinsaibashi Station, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, so the location is very convenient. The staff were polite and friendly, and their service was pleasant throughout. I’d like to stay here again.

I had the pleasure of revisiting the enchanting Sasayuri-an. After an unforgettable experience at "Kozuno," this time I stayed in another building, "Zao." About a month ago, I was fortunate to connect with Sasayuri-an and was deeply touched by the warmth of the owners. Since then, I eagerly anticipated my return. My expectations were high due to my previous wonderful stay, but this visit exceeded them in every way. The moment we stepped inside, everyone let out a gasp of awe—it felt like stepping into another world. This 150-year-old traditional thatched-roof house is a perfect blend of historical beauty and modern comfort, truly a hidden gem. The stunning terraced rice fields visible through the windows and the star-filled night sky created an extraordinary atmosphere. The space is both majestic and refined yet evokes a nostalgic sense of comfort. Above all, the exceptional hospitality from the owners provided deep relaxation. The owner's passion for detail is evident everywhere—from beams relocated from a 400-year-old structure to speakers once used by Ryuichi Sakamoto—making every conversation with him fascinating and inspiring. Despite visiting in February's cold weather, thoughtful touches like fireplaces, discreetly placed air conditioners that preserve aesthetic harmony, and oil heaters along hallways ensured warmth throughout this spacious accommodation. The owner also practices as a Yamabushi (mountain ascetic) alongside managing his business. During our stay, we had rare opportunities to experience waterfall meditation and fire rituals under his guidance while enjoying stories about Shugendo around an irori hearth—a truly memorable experience! Evenings were spent chatting by irori flames or soaking in herbal baths within cypress tubs to unwind completely; mornings began with delicious coffee paired with breathtaking views of Japan’s timeless rural landscape—a blissful retreat indeed. Sasayuri-an offers an unparalleled escape from urban chaos where both mind and body can rejuvenate fully—a genuinely special place worth cherishing forever! Although we rarely revisit accommodations multiple times ourselves here feels different; it’s somewhere precious enough always wanting return alongside loved ones again someday soon! With facilities such as pizza ovens BBQ setups campfire areas ready springtime glamping plans already excite us looking forward next visit ahead!

At the very end of summer vacation, my husband and son insisted on coming here for glamping. As a woman, I was honestly a bit nervous about the Facility and meals—but it was simply the best. 【Check-in】 They explained the Facility to us. At the marché, there were vibrant vegetables and even seafood in a large tank! Some items are free, and others can be exchanged with coins you receive—choosing what to get was so exciting. We booked a Plan with dinner and breakfast included, but the portions were incredible. Even my big-eating husband and son had more than enough with what was included in the Plan! (Any unused coins could be saved for Shizuoka souvenirs or even kept for our next stay.) In the firewood area, there were many different types of wood. The Room already has firewood for cooking, but here you can choose wood to enjoy different sounds and aromas. 【Room】 It felt spotless, and we had no worries about odors or temperature. There are two BBQ areas—one indoors and one outdoors. The indoor side (with an earthen-floor style space) has a kitchen and a large ventilation duct, plus air conditioning, so smoke doesn’t come into the living area. The Room was extremely clean and beautiful. I expected some bugs or smells with glamping—and heat in summer—but it was surprisingly comfortable. There’s a double-sink vanity, two types of hair dryers (including a Repronizer), and even hair irons provided. In addition to pajamas, they also provide samue loungewear for dinner (for both adults and children), so there’s no need to take home clothes that smell like food. 【Onsen & Sauna】 There is an Onsen connected directly to both indoor and outdoor baths, plus a barrel sauna and an impressive cold plunge pool. Ponchos and hats are also available. The bedroom is separated from the bath/changing area/vanity area, so it works well even for two families traveling together. 【Meals】 The commercial refrigerator was stocked with juices, alcoholic drinks, and ice cream! With stylish camping gear like skillets and mess tins—along with ingredients & recipes—our 10-year-old son enthusiastically cooked for us. The thick Shizuoka beef was so tender you barely needed teeth… even the abalone was truly soft! For breakfast you can choose Japanese or Western style; either way it was delicious and satisfying. All of the staff were very kind. We enjoyed luxury-Hotel-level comfort while still experiencing the freedom that makes glamping special. We’ll definitely be back when the season changes!

I stayed at a newly opened villa that was recommended to me. Although it has only four Rooms, it offers a dining restaurant, pool, sauna, and lounge, so the shared facilities are very well equipped. Even though I hadn’t made a Reservation, I was able to enjoy the sauna and an Agu pork shabu-shabu course at short notice. After dinner, having wine by the pool was the best part, and I could truly relax in the quiet surroundings of nature.

We stayed for two nights on a family trip. The property is close to the highway interchange, which was very helpful as we were traveling with elderly parents and could keep travel time short. The meals were excellent, just as we had heard—everything was delicious, and the portions were more than we could finish, exceeding our expectations. The staff provided courteous service, and it was a wonderful, relaxing trip. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a family of four. The open-air bath on the rooftop was a natural hot spring, and it was very pleasant. Since there were fewer reservations, we were able to use the private bath twice. The dinner course used local ingredients and was very delicious, and we were full after ordering additional cheese fondue. The master's explanation of the cuisine and onsen was very detailed, which doubled our enjoyment. There is a footbath in front of the hotel, and it is also close to the famous open-air bath "Sunayu," so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Also, there are three cute cats inside the nearby Onsen Museum. It's a must-see for cat lovers.

Shuttle service from the pier to the accommodation was provided! The stay included two meals, and dinner was served at an on-site izakaya with warm, local dishes. Just when I thought it would end with fish, a pork fillet steak was also served, which was very satisfying! It was a bit disappointing that I didn’t check if the shared bath allowed morning showers. I also enjoyed local sake, making it a very pleasant accommodation experience.

I usually stay in hotels as I am not a fan of camping or glamping, but this time I had no issues at all. Although I was initially concerned about the restroom and bath being separate, they were very close by, so it wasn't a problem. However, it might be slightly challenging for families with small children. The staff were extremely flexible and accommodating, which I greatly appreciated. While we originally planned to eat outside, we ended up ordering pizza and pasta from the on-site café and had them delivered to our room. The pizza was much larger than expected and very satisfying. We ordered peperoncino pasta as well; it was a bit spicy, so it might not be suitable for children. Since it was winter, the wind from the lake made it slightly cold, but visiting during a more pleasant season could make the experience even better. The sound of the water surface was soothing throughout our stay. Thank you for your kindness! We look forward to visiting again in the future. The Onsen could be reserved depending on availability; during our visit, we were able to enjoy private use of it. One minor concern: while walking around at night near the cabin area, some bare tree branches came close to my face which felt a bit scary. It might be harder for children to notice such things—addressing this could ensure greater safety moving forward!

I enjoyed relaxing while gazing at the expansive countryside right in front of me. The gentle breeze made me forget the intense heat below, and it was absolutely perfect.
