Nationwide × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 113Page Number

We recently stayed as a couple during our child's trip. The place was just as beautiful as the pictures. The amenities were organic, and the welcome drinks were unlimited during the designated time, which was great. The TV screen displayed the breakfast and public bath congestion status, making it easy to plan our visit. The public bath had a gender-swapping schedule, and I had it all to myself when I went, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, since we had to bring towels from the Room, it would have been even better if towels and combs were provided in the public bath area. If we have another chance to visit, we would love to stay again. Thank you!

We enjoyed the stylish interior, elaborate dishes and tableware with a focus on broth, and the wonderful milky white Onsen. The only downside was that the phone was difficult to connect, and even when it did, it was automatically transferred to another Ryokan, so it was hard to get the information needed, and we had to hang up and wait for a callback. The website mentioned that there was a Shuttle Service to the nearest bus stop, but we were not provided with it and had to walk for 30 minutes. I understand that not having a TV in the Room might be a particular choice, but I still would like to have a TV. During the extreme Onsen tour, we were able to experience a wild and natural Onsen that is difficult to visit individually.

While planning a trip to Wakayama, I was drawn to a cute log house Stays and decided to book it. The log house, the surrounding greenery, the location with a view of the sea, and the many knick-knacks from around the log house to the interior, everything is fun and exciting to look at. Above all, the owner's bright personality and cute smile are the best. At night, the most memorable moment was chatting with the owner at a dimly lit bar-style counter with jazz playing, while enjoying a handmade plum juice welcome drink. In the morning, breakfast on the terrace with a view of the sea. With tourist spots like Senjojiki, Onsen, and Shirarahama nearby, it turned out to be a wonderful trip to Wakayama. Thank you very much!

We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay! The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed having a BBQ for breakfast. Thank you so much!

The room was very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the Onsen was excellent. I had a luxurious time. I would love to stay again.

I just stayed here in March, but I came back again! It’s such a relaxing Accommodation, and I’d love to return for another restful getaway. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Excellent value for money! The meals were especially good.

I stayed here for a week on a business trip from Osaka. A clean, spacious Room with a great atmosphere and a delicious breakfast! The staff were friendly and welcoming while keeping just the right amount of distance. They replaced amenities such as bath towels, bath mats, and toothbrushes, but… my towel didn’t come back! (lol) If possible, I’d appreciate it if towel replacement could be included as well (lol). It was a very fulfilling business trip. Thank you very much! If I have another chance to visit the area for work, I’d definitely like to stay again!!

The service, food, and the view from the Room were all excellent, but it was disappointing that there was no hot water, including in the Room shower and amenities. I think you should consider changing the type of toothpaste.

A great location—just a 15-minute walk to the dome! The four of us stayed in a Deluxe Twin. The beds were spacious, so even two people could sleep comfortably. The bathroom was also large, and it was great that there was a separate washing area! We also loved having the toilet in a separate room. Another big plus: from 3:00 PM, you can enjoy drinks in the lounge! We used it before heading to the game, after returning to the Hotel afterward, and again at breakfast. We’ll definitely stay here again.

It feels a bit old-fashioned, but the Room is simple, the air conditioning worked well, the shower water pressure was good, and it was great that we could use the lounge for free.

We stayed with our Shiba Inu. The bath is spacious and very relaxing. There are places nearby for walks, and there are also pet-friendly restaurants, so everyone was happy. The reception staff and other employees provide excellent service. We will definitely visit again soon.

It was excellent value for the price. The Onsen water was silky and wonderfully relaxing, and the staff at reception and during meal service were very kind, making our stay truly comfortable.

It was a family trip where relatives who usually live far away gathered for the first time in several years (including seniors and a toddler). All staff were kind and attentive. The meals were delicious and more than enough (we had a late lunch, so we were too full and sorry we left quite a bit). The view from the bath was lovely, right by the river, with a great atmosphere. We stayed in the Room with six people, and it was spacious enough for our toddler to run around; the view from the window was amazing (river side). We were very satisfied.

The room was neither too spacious nor too small, just the right size for two adults. The room was also clean (though I noticed a long hair on the robe, which concerned me slightly). The bath was an open-air one, and while there were houses a bit further away that made me wonder if they could see in, there were adjustable automatic shutters. When fully lowered, they completely blocked the view from outside and kept out the cold air. Despite snow remaining from the previous day, we could enjoy a warm soak without feeling chilly. The temperature of the bath was just right for relaxing. Concerns: We chose a plan with in-room dining for our meals. However, after grilling meat during dinner, its smell lingered throughout the room until bedtime. While it might have been our oversight as well, future guests opting for this plan might want to keep their bedroom doors closed during meals to avoid this issue. It would be considerate if staff could mention this when serving meals or perhaps provide additional amenities like room sprays alongside air purifiers to enhance comfort further. That said, the meat was tender and delicious; other dishes were also very tasty with portions that felt just right. With free beer dispensers, ice cream machines, drinks in the fridge available at no extra cost, and even foot baths provided—this is overall a wonderful accommodation! Next time I’d love to visit again with my mother. Thank you for your hospitality!

We stayed with our 1 year and 10-month-old child. We chose this accommodation because it is a "Welcome Baby" certified accommodation, and it truly lived up to its name! The kids' room was filled with various toys, which made our child very happy. Diapers and wipes were also provided, so we could travel light. The meals were absolutely delicious, and we were very satisfied! The breakfast for children was also luxurious and wonderful. Additionally, the all-inclusive service allowed us to enjoy drinks, alcohol, and snacks at any time we liked, which was a great perk. Our child kept asking for refills of Calpis (laughs). As for the Onsen, the private Onsen was available 24 hours a day. We could check availability on our smartphone and use it whenever we wanted! It was great to have relaxing bath time as a family. Since we stayed on a weekday, there weren’t many people around, so we could relax without worrying even with a small child in tow. The staff members were very kind as well—it turned out to be such a wonderful family trip! Thank you so much!

After arriving at the Accommodation, we borrowed an electric scooter and took a stroll along the seaside. Back in the Room, we worked up a sweat in the wood-burning stove sauna and felt refreshed, then enjoyed ice cream in the lounge while playing Pac-Man (lol). For dinner, we savored dishes featuring superb live squid and Saga beef with Tiger Beer, then went to sleep in a spacious bed while gazing out at the sea. Breakfast was also excellent—the rice was sweet and delicious, paired with local specialties like mirin-dried fish and squid shumai that you can only find here. After that, we took a cruise ship around Kabeshima Island. In the calm summer Genkai Sea, on the far side of Kabeshima we saw columnar joints like natural stone walls, listened to stories about islands near and far, and felt the wind as the boat sped along. We truly enjoyed an exceptionally special time. There are still so many great points I can’t even write them all—this all-inclusive Plan is simply amazing. On our way back they drove us to Karatsu-Nishi Station, making it easy to get to Hakata as well; it’s surprisingly accessible even without a car. This is an Accommodation I’ll keep remembering fondly long after returning home.

The last time I visited Matsurube was right after the 2008 Iwate–Miyagi Nairiku Earthquake, which triggered a massive landslide and caused the collapse of the Matsurube Ohashi Bridge. This time, it was my first return in 20 years. While traces of the past remain, it has been reborn as a small yet elegant Accommodation. It takes only about 10–20 seconds on foot from the Room to the large public bath. With just seven guest rooms in total, once day-use bathers leave in the evening, the large public bath feels almost like a private bath reserved just for you—an incredibly luxurious setup. Passing through a lovely drink bar, we head to the restaurant. It is described as “French cuisine,” but even after looking over the menu, I couldn’t quite imagine what each dish would be like. When I think of French food, classics such as foie gras, truffles, and rich butter sauces come to mind—delicious, but sometimes heavy. So what kind of French cuisine would this be? I had high expectations. But what was served far exceeded them. Each plate features two or more main ingredients—and both are ingredients that evoke a sense of place, with different flavor profiles and textures. The moment they overlap on your palate, an exquisite marriage is born. Even more interesting is that one of those two leading ingredients is always a vegetable. Vegetables are not mere supporting players here; they stand proudly as true protagonists, creating an impression reminiscent of kaiseki cuisine as well. I found myself thinking: “Japanese-French” is indeed a perfect name for it. For wine, I chose a Côtes du Rhône white made with Grenache Blanc; its dry richness and fruitiness paired beautifully with the food. I’ve had my share of French cuisine both in Japan and abroad, but I may never have been moved quite like this before. It never felt heavy; instead, subtle hidden accents throughout created deep lingering finishes. It was truly outstanding. I’m told that when the seasons change, the menu will be completely renewed as well. That means I’ll have to come back again—one more thing to look forward to. One final request: As people who want to start with “a beer for now” as soon as we arrive at an Accommodation, we’d be even happier if getting access to beer were just a little easier. Please consider it.
