It was difficult to adjust the air conditioning. The bathroom was spacious and comfortable, but it could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly. Still, I slept well and was happy with my stay.

In the peak of summer, when Tokyo reaches a scorching 37°C, we stayed at the accommodation with our dog. Upon arriving at Motoyu Inn, it was pleasantly cool—just 26°C! Truly a summer retreat. Once again, we were able to relax and enjoy the soothing company of the cats. Of course, we also indulged multiple times in our favorite sulfur hot spring baths.

Murakami Seiba Onsen, where we stayed this time, was a wonderful Onsen Accommodation that lets you fully enjoy breathtaking views of the Sea of Japan. What impressed me most was the sunset sinking into the Sea of Japan. As the colors of the sky and sea changed moment by moment, the sun slowly setting beyond the horizon was so beautiful I lost track of time watching it. The Onsen is also one of its biggest highlights. From the large public bath you can take in panoramic views of the Sea of Japan, and soaking at a relaxed pace while listening to the waves felt truly luxurious. The Accommodation is located just steps from the coast, making morning and evening walks a real pleasure. In the evening you can stroll while watching the sunset, and in the morning you can walk along the shore with a refreshing sea breeze—an especially soothing experience that only travel can offer.

We stayed at Hotel New Ote as a base for sightseeing in Hakodate and enjoying the night view from Mt. Hakodate. It was conveniently located near the morning market, tram stops, and bus stops. The building is old, but the room was clean. We stayed for only one night, but we were satisfied to be able to use the private family bath as well.

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.

I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days on my second visit, as I had business in the neighboring town of Gimpo. The weather was great every day, and I was able to see beautiful sunsets. The Room had tatami flooring with a single bed and was very comfortable to stay in. If I had to mention something, the water flow at the sink was weak and the drainage was poor. I was told this Room does not have a bath, but it wasn’t an issue because I used the large public Onsen bath every day. Unlike my previous impression, everyone at the front desk was kind and helpful, which made me happy. The restaurant was also clean, and I appreciated the staff’s attentiveness. This Accommodation is conveniently located near a roadside station, as well as convenience stores and drugstores nearby.

I stayed for two nights for my mother's memorial service. Having used several accommodations in southern Akita Prefecture before and often being disappointed, I was hesitant to book a business hotel this time as well. However, due to the circumstances, I reluctantly made a reservation here after much searching. I had sent my luggage in advance via courier and requested it be placed in the room due to its weight. At the front desk, the staff's friendly and non-formal attitude provided a sense of reassurance. Upon checking into the room, I found it slightly spacious for a twin room in a business hotel. While there was some age to it, it was clean and comfortable enough for my stay. One minor inconvenience was that the room key was not automatic; you had to manually lock it when leaving (this could use improvement). Although there was an en-suite bath in the room, I opted for their public bath with artificial onsen water—it was quite relaxing! However, there were only five washing stations which felt cramped at times as soap or water from neighboring users would occasionally splash over. The women's section reportedly had just two washing stations, leading to wait times during use. The meals were surprisingly good—not your typical business hotel fare of rice balls and mediocre bread but proper dishes that changed daily even during multiple night stays! This variety kept things interesting and enjoyable throughout. To be honest, I initially expected this place to be like any other business hotel: small rooms with single beds crammed together and uninspired meals—but they completely exceeded my expectations. Since I'll need accommodations every one or two years when visiting this area (though there's no family home left), I've decided without hesitation that I'll choose this hotel again next time!

We stayed here as a couple with our dog. Everyone was very kind and gentle with our dog as well, so we felt at ease throughout our stay. Thank you for your warm hospitality. The food was outstanding—well beyond five stars. It’s rare to be able to enjoy both dinner and breakfast in the Room with our dog, and we truly appreciated it. We sincerely hope Wakura Onsen will recover soon and regain its vibrant Onsen town atmosphere. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

The convenience store is a bit far, but it was really nice that I could bring a fan into the Room! The bed had a Type-C cable and a USB outlet—super convenient.

The staff provided clear explanations and guidance, and the view from the Room was beautiful. It was still warm even with the heater turned off, so bringing a short-sleeve shirt to sleep in was the right choice!! Since it was affordable, I wasn’t expecting much for breakfast, but there was a wide variety and we ate a lot with our child! Being able to relax and eat while watching the monorail made it the best morning.

I stayed for two nights. You served meals that were different from what I expected, and they were very delicious. The tatami in the Room was also new and comfortable, so I had a pleasant stay. Thank you very much.

It has already become a brand (at least for me). Reasonable price. This price includes a breakfast buffet. The location, like other AZ facilities, is conveniently situated in key areas. Necessary facilities are, of course, well-equipped.

Due to my daughter's work, we urgently searched for accommodation in Tateyama and stayed at Chikurakan. The wallpaper in the room was blue, but there were noticeable scratches and peeling here and there. A white color might give a cleaner impression. The futon was quite thin, making my body stiff. Also, the air conditioner stopped blowing air, and although a staff member fixed it for us, it only worked at 22 degrees Celsius, so we shivered through the night (laughs). As for the baths: the smaller one is 100% natural hot spring with lukewarm water; the larger one is 50% natural hot spring with hotter water. Alternating between them warmed up our bodies wonderfully. However, the steps of the smaller bath were slippery—many guests seemed to have dangerous slips. My daughter and I also hit our arms hard; this should be addressed somehow. For meals, we had a course that included spiny lobster along with abalone and large clams—all very delicious overall! The freshly cooked rice was also satisfying. Lastly, if I may add: all staff members lacked friendliness—they seemed to speak strictly according to manuals without conveying any sense of hospitality toward guests, which was disappointing.

We stayed as a family with our dog, and it was a wonderful place, including the scenery along the way. At the cottage, we could enjoy our meals without worrying about time, and the bath was thoroughly cleaned so we could relax comfortably. We truly felt the hosts’ sincere hospitality in every detail. The sukiyaki dinner and breakfast bread were both delicious, and we were able to spend a relaxing, unhurried, luxurious time.

I chose this property because it is close to the airport and conveniently located. Due to time constraints, I was unable to use the dining options, but the Room was more spacious than I expected and had a table, making it comfortable to spend time in. The parking lot is also large and easy to park in.

Reliable AZ every time In August, I stayed 10 consecutive nights at various AZ locations. Every AZ was excellent. This quality at this price—simply the best.

I’ve stayed here many times, and I’m always very satisfied. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. However, this time there was one thing: the open-air bath was too hot, so I couldn’t relax and enjoy it. I’ll be back again.

I was able to make a Reservation just before Golden Week, and it was my first visit. The kaiseki-style sukiyaki dinner was delicious across the board, served promptly, and I appreciated being able to dine calmly in a private room. Breakfast had fewer items, but I could sit by the window and enjoyed the fresh green garden view. It would be even better if the menu changed for guests on a Multiple Night Stay. I was disappointed that about half of the hair dryers in the women’s large public bath were out of order and unusable, and that it’s quite far from the rooms to the bath; otherwise, I was satisfied with the nature-filled location.

A new, beautiful, and very clean Hotel. The front desk and staff are efficient and pleasant. There is no bathtub in the Room—only a shower. This is a popular style these days, and personally I support it. As Japanese travelers are getting older, there are many cases of people falling asleep in the tub, so I often hear from Hotel staff that showers are best for preventing accidents. Also, I’ve heard that some international visitors may overflow the bathtub as well. That said, I would like to see a large public bath added as an alternative. In Beppu City, with so many public baths around town, it’s not essential—but in Miyazaki City it’s an area where you have to go as far as Seagaia or Shintomi Town to enjoy a natural Onsen. The free onigiri breakfast set is also very delicious, and I will definitely become a repeat guest—but I really hope for a large public bath.

Complimentary drinks on each floor are appreciated. Additionally, the price is reasonable.
