Nationwide × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeHighly-rated Hotel·Ryokan - 76Page Number

Luxurious atmosphere, delicious meals, and outstanding staff! In the evening, I enjoyed drinks with my wife and had a wonderful time.

I stayed here to cheer on my daughter at a track and field meet. It was my first time in Kure City, and the location was excellent—easy access to sightseeing spots, restaurants, and cafés—so I had a very comfortable stay. The breakfast was wonderful and delicious; I was especially happy they had okonomiyaki. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

The Onsen was incredibly relaxing, and I was able to unwind and enjoy a peaceful stay. I also appreciated that it is free-flowing from the source and available 24 hours a day. The water temperature was just right, and it left my skin feeling silky smooth. We had dinner on a riverside dining platform, and it was wonderful to enjoy the scenery and the sound of the flowing river while eating. The meal was delicious and had a great seasonal feel. The staff were courteous, which made the stay very comfortable. I would love to return if I have the chance.

This was a family trip with friends, mainly for the buffet. Both dinner and breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes and were very delicious, but it was disappointing that some items we wanted to eat hot, like fried foods, had cooled down. The bath area may have been during a busy time; there weren’t many washing stations, so it felt crowded. The Room was 10 tatami mats, but once three futons were laid out it did feel a bit small. However, since we came for the buffet and only needed the Room for sleeping, it didn’t bother us much. There was a welcome drink service, so we could relax with tea after arriving until dinner. We would definitely like to come again for the buffet.

I made a Reservation for a Room with a semi-open-air bath the day before my stay. First of all, the layout and flow were incredibly convenient. It seems all Rooms with semi-open-air baths are on the first floor, and the large public bath, dining venue, and café bar were all just steps away from my Room—so I didn’t have to walk long distances. If you go to the large public bath a bit later in the evening, it’s almost like having it to yourself. There’s also a mist sauna, though it felt more like a light drizzle and left my head completely soaked (lol). The in-Room semi-open-air bath was fed directly from the hot spring source (free-flowing), and being able to use it anytime was fantastic! Since it was summer I expected insects, but there weren’t any issues. The Room was clean—and above all, unbelievably spacious (lol). For dinner, international staff kindly explained each dish as they served it. It was an excellent Hotel in every way!

I stayed with my 84-year-old mother. Using the large public bath would have been difficult for her, so we chose a Room with a private Onsen. The meals were very delicious, and the staff who served us were extremely courteous, so we were very satisfied. The in-room Onsen was also excellent. We also enjoyed the Facility services such as sweets and drinks, and in the morning we appreciated the fruit and yogurt as well. We knew from the start, but the stairs and getting around were challenging. Also, depending on the person, the front desk staff did not feel very welcoming.

We stayed here for a family trip. The Room was very clean and comfortable. Since our family tends to feel hot, the Room was warm even in mid-May, and the air conditioning was not yet available due to the system settings. However, a staff member suggested opening the window to let in cooler air, and it worked—we were able to spend a comfortable night. Breakfast was automatically included, and everything was delicious. It was especially helpful on a busy morning when we really needed it.

If you love Onsen, this place is truly heaven—there are 18 private baths. This was my third stay, and I still haven’t managed to try them all. The detached cottage “Aoi” has its own open-air bath, which is absolutely wonderful. I always end up completely satisfied just using the bath in the Room. The spring quality is a simple Onsen (slightly alkaline, hypotonic, high-temperature) with a pH of 8.3. It feels gentle on the skin and is easy to enjoy in a different way from more distinctive springs like sulfur Onsen. It’s comfortable for longer soaks, and being able to enjoy it many times during your stay is part of the appeal. Many of the open-air baths have a rustic, DIY-like feel. Numerous private baths are scattered across the vast grounds, and I can only imagine how much work it must be to maintain and manage so many. Because this Accommodation is surrounded by nature, things like insects and fallen leaves are somewhat unavoidable. In July there were quite a few insects, and when I visited last September I also had trouble with biting gnats. Even so, this Accommodation has more than enough charm to make up for it. The source spring has an abundant flow rate, and the source temperature is very high at 76.1°C. To bring it down to a comfortable temperature, adding water may sometimes be necessary. As an Onsen lover, I’d ideally like to enjoy pure free-flowing water without dilution—but with such a high-temperature source spring, I understand that temperature control can be challenging. Many of the staff are from overseas, but everyone speaks Japanese well and I’ve never felt inconvenienced. They are always polite and attentive. And despite being such a secluded hot-spring retreat, it’s great that the meals are genuinely delicious as well. This time we ordered sukiyaki as an extra dish; it was excellent and very satisfying. In winter this area apparently gets extremely heavy snowfall. Next time I’d love to visit in winter and enjoy an outdoor bath while admiring snowy scenery.

During my stay in Atami, I visited “Village Atami,” a Hotel scheduled to open in August 2026. It was great that four of us could sleep in four separate beds without using an extra bed. The calm, modern interior typical of the Sumitomo Realty & Development group was very comfortable. The vanity has two sinks, there is a spacious walk-in closet, and a mini-kitchen, so it is also recommended for longer stays. I chose plans with meals included for both nights, but since both breakfast and dinner are buffet-style, the food is tasty yet the menu is exactly the same each day, so it may be better to avoid doing this. As this is Atami, I was hoping for more Japanese-style sashimi as well, but there was only something like salmon carpaccio; on the second day, I think choosing a nearby restaurant such as a sushi place would be a good option. This time I stayed on the 8th floor and enjoyed a great view all the way to Hatsushima and watching the boats come and go. Thank you for a pleasant stay—the staff’s thoughtful hospitality was wonderful.

The Room was very clean, the amenities were well provided, and the Hotel staff were kind. Even without meals included, bread was available in the morning. We felt thoughtful attention in every aspect. I rated only the bathroom a 3 because the shower required adjusting both the hot and cold taps, which was slightly inconvenient. It was very comfortable, and I would like to stay again.

After checking out, I took the Shinkansen departing Toyama Station at 7:43. Since the breakfast buffet starts at 6:30, I thought I would only have about an hour to eat, but it was fine. The salmon ochazuke was delicious. When I asked to store my luggage before check-in, I was able to use a locker near the entrance—free of charge and with a PIN code that you set yourself. There is a laundry line above the bathtub, which was convenient. Note that the air conditioning is centrally controlled throughout the Hotel. They also have a library selection of books, but since I received a morning newspaper, I ended up focusing on that instead.

I stayed here last year as well. This time, I was looking forward to it because the dining had changed to a buffet. It’s an à la carte buffet where you order each dish one by one, and I was surprised at how thoughtfully crafted each menu item was. Of course, the flavors were exactly to my taste. They also offer wines and sake that pair well with each dish. What I love about this place is that it isn’t very large, so they can provide this kind of attentive service—I was really impressed. And of course, dining while watching the sunset is a truly luxurious experience. I’d love to stay again. Honestly, I always admire the chefs—every property in this group serves food that perfectly suits my tastes.

We slept comfortably even as a couple! Breakfast was healthy, and the unique menu felt fresh and different from anywhere else. If I could make one request, I’d love to have options like natto or eggs. There were also various complimentary drinks available during our stay, which was perfect for a coffee lover like me. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay, and I was very satisfied—not only with the fireworks, but also with the Onsen and the meals (both breakfast and dinner were served in semi-private dining rooms, and dinner was a kaiseki course).

We had a wonderful stay. The open-air bath was a very calming space, and we were able to relax while listening to the sound of water and insects. The shampoo was also comfortable and didn’t leave our hair feeling squeaky. The Ryokan itself was spacious and felt like a maze, making it fun to walk around as if exploring. The barley tea and apple rooibos tea after the bath were also a thoughtful touch. I hadn’t been reading much for quite some time, but using the “Kotoba no Atelier” inspired me to make time for reading again in my daily life after this stay. I also wrote a Tokitegami letter and had a lovely time. Breakfast was buffet-style and everything was delicious—especially the fruit punch. Before breakfast, I ground coffee beans for drip coffee, which was also excellent and made for a very fulfilling experience.

We stayed during the Obon holiday. The Room was spacious, the meals were delicious, and my elderly mother was very satisfied. All of the international staff were kind and played with our children.

I stayed here on the day of a live concert in Miyagi. The bath was great, the breakfast was delicious, and there were various pillows to choose from, so I really enjoyed the Hotel. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it in time for the free drinks, so I couldn’t try them. At breakfast, there were many people who had probably come for the concert as well, and I was able to enjoy that lingering afterglow.

I stayed for one night as an Accommodation stop during a drive because it caught my interest. Although this Ryokan has many international staff members, everyone was very kind and attentive, and I felt they were well trained. The food was delicious, and I was able to relax without worrying much about other guests. Thank you very much, Kazenomori.

Stayed for work in August 2026 for four nights. The Room was a bit small, but it felt more spacious than the one in Hamamatsucho—I even wished I had stayed here the whole time instead of moving to Hamamatsucho. I was very satisfied with both the complimentary drinks and alcohol service. With restaurants and a supermarket nearby, and located in a residential area, it was very convenient. I would consider staying again on my next business trip.

With the grand opening, both the Hotel and our Room were very clean, and we had a comfortable stay. Breakfast was delicious—especially the chilled onion and chicken shabu-shabu. It would have been even better with yogurt. All of the staff were very kind and prepared connecting Rooms next to each other, which we truly appreciated for our family trip. I highly recommend this Hotel for families. Thank you very much.
