The food quality was exceptionally high, and it made for a truly satisfying stay. Compared with other hotels in Atami Onsen or buffet dining in Kinugawa Onsen, the overall number of dishes is more modest, but signature items like steak and crab are well covered, so you never get tired of it. The welcome service from 3:00 PM (alcohol, oden, onsen manju buns, etc.) was also delicious. Breakfast stood out as well—the nikujaga (meat-and-potato stew) and the fresh toppings for the DIY seafood rice bowl were excellent, and I couldn’t help going back for seconds. All of the staff were international, but they were friendly and spoke Japanese very well; if anything, it added a refreshing touch that helped me forget everyday life. The building itself feels a bit dated, but the rooms and hallways are kept very clean. In particular, I’d give five stars for the individually controlled air conditioning (each room has been upgraded with a new unit and outdoor condenser), which made my stay comfortable without having to deal with seasonal centralized switching. The only disappointment (2–3 stars) was that the main public bath was under renovation, so we had to use private baths or facilities at a sister hotel—and there was no sauna. However, this was more than made up for by the excellent ingredients and the stunning ocean-view scenery. A great hotel for fully enjoying a solo trip.

My first time in Kusatsu Onsen. Since my skin is sensitive, I did some research and found that the Jizo-no-Yu source is relatively gentle, so I chose this Accommodation because it draws water from that source. It’s a historic Accommodation, and the building has a charming atmosphere. For dinner, we chose the Joshu beef Plan and it was delicious. Breakfast had most side dishes set out in advance; only the rice and miso soup were served hot. It might feel a bit light for big eaters, but I thought it was just the right amount since we planned to snack while walking around after checkout. Best of all was the private bath you can use exclusively. Maybe our timing was lucky, but it was always available whenever we went. Even though Jizo-no-Yu felt hot at first, once we stirred the water before getting in, we quickly got used to it. It didn’t sting at all, and my skin became smooth right away—something I’d never experienced before. Of course, it warmed me through to the core as well. We could relax and fully enjoy Jizo-no-Yu without worrying about anyone else, and it was so comfortable that we ended up not using the gender-segregated baths at all. I’d love to stay here again when I visit Kusatsu.

It was our first time visiting the Chita Peninsula, and we stayed here as a couple. We loved that we could see the ocean from our Room, the Onsen, and the dining area! The seafood-filled meals were also excellent. We arrived early before check-in time, but thank you for accommodating us. The view, Onsen, and food were all extremely satisfying!!!

If possible, I’d rather not let too many people know about this incredibly great-value Accommodation. The food is delicious, and the staff are wonderful. This was my first stay in summer, and the pool was neither overcrowded nor too quiet—everything felt perfectly comfortable, so I could truly relax and enjoy it.

The Accommodation itself is compact, but the detached annex is impressive and offers plenty of space. The meals were distinctive yet delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared.

My dog requires nursing care, and we were able to relax with peace of mind in a spacious tatami Room. The staff were also kind. There are many great restaurants nearby, and we enjoyed takeout indoors as well! It was the season for fireworks, and we could see them clearly from the Room window—such a wonderful memory. We would love to stay again.

I traveled with my partner. The Hotel felt a bit old, but all the staff we passed greeted us warmly and cheerfully, which was very pleasant. They promptly assisted with the reservation call for river rafting and handled it efficiently. The meals in the morning and evening had a wide variety of dishes, were visually colorful, and used local ingredients, which I appreciated. The chicken in the hot pot was delicious, as was the rice. I would love to visit again if I have the chance. Next time, I’d like to try river rafting too!

My spouse and I go on an Onsen trip every month. This time, since it was summer vacation, we traveled with three generations of our family. The Onsen water was the best we’ve ever experienced. Minami-Izu is a bit far, but we’d love to soak in that water again.

Conveniently located near the airport, I always stay here for early morning flights. The beds are spacious and very comfortable. Thanks to the flowing Onsen, I had a great night's sleep. I didn’t have time for breakfast this time, but I’d like to wake up earlier someday and try it.

Located a little beyond Yamanaka Onsen’s Yuge Kaido, this Accommodation sits across from Kayano Osugi, a nationally designated Natural Monument. Camellias were depicted throughout the Accommodation—do camellias bloom here in winter? Bright red camellias against white snow would be beautiful. To reach the Accommodation’s signature Yunobata, you go down a stone staircase, where fresh greenery, a clear stream, and birdsong soothe you and let you fully enjoy nature. From the Room, we also enjoyed the sunrise peeking over the mountains. The meals were wonderful in both presentation and taste; cold dishes were served cold and hot dishes hot, showing thoughtful attention to detail. Surrounded by nature and delicious food, we were able to relax and spend unhurried time. Thank you very much.

I usually stay with my family, but this time I tried a solo trip for the first time. I chose this Hotel because the women-only dormitory felt safe, and the value was amazing: unlimited alcohol and soft drinks, a triple gelato, a delicious pasta dinner, plus access to the lounge and baths at the neighboring Suizantei… it was perfect (the sauna at Exclamation Hotel was great too). The next day, I switched breakfast to lunch and enjoyed it at Shokudo Ichi, then finished with an Onsen soak in Koganeyu! What’s more, staying here comes with a Reservation slot for “Morino Hyakunichi Gori,” so I could enjoy it without waiting. This was also my first time hitting the jackpot in the lucky locker lottery—I even received a commemorative Kyujitsuyu mug cup and was truly moved. The Hotel staff were all very kind, so I felt comfortable throughout my stay. A solo trip at Exclamation Hotel might become addictive—I’ll be back!

Although we arrived much later than our scheduled check-in time, the staff kindly assisted us without any sign of displeasure. We are truly grateful. The three of us stayed, and the price per person was very affordable. Despite the low cost, it was a comfortable and wonderful Accommodation. We would definitely like to stay again next time. Thank you very much!

We stayed here for a family trip on 9/1. We have a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old, and the staff were very kind to our children. The hospitality was wonderful, and we had an amazing time. Above all, being able to use the pool during the day made our kids so happy. The night pool has a more adult atmosphere, but our children also enjoyed experiencing something they don’t usually get to do. For the late-night ramen, a staff member told us it would be ready quickly and encouraged us to eat before we left. It was lightly seasoned and delicious. If I had to mention one thing, the changing room is quite far from the open-air bath, so it would be nice if there were showers or a changing area closer by. While you can’t deny that this Facility is old, it is very well cleaned, so there was no problem. For amenities, I thought it would be great if we could borrow children’s toothbrushes and shampoo. It was an excellent Hotel that made us want to come back again. Tateyama Resort Hotel—thank you so much!

The food and the staff’s service were excellent. The show was fun, too. I’d love to visit again! The Onsen was very relaxing as well. Thank you very much.

Koshika Onsen is wonderfully relaxing with its free-flowing natural hot spring water, and the aroma at the front desk is also lovely. This was my second stay, and I’m truly very satisfied! I was told the aroma is from Tomisako Shoten, so I even placed a personal order. The Room has its own Onsen, so I could enjoy it at night and in the morning and feel refreshed. The Facility is also kept very clean!

It was a wonderful Hotel. The Room was very spacious, and the view was exceptionally beautiful. I took photos many times while enjoying the view in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. The Onsen was also incredibly relaxing and excellent. I would love to stay again.

My spouse and I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days with a No Meals Included plan. The building itself felt a bit dated in places, but the interior and our Room were well cleaned, so it felt fresh and comfortable throughout our stay. We chose a “discounted” Room that was priced lower than usual. We were told this was because it is on the first floor facing a toll road, but in reality we barely noticed any traffic noise and were able to relax in peace. In that sense, it exceeded our expectations in a good way. Another major highlight was having a Japanese-style tatami room. Being able to stretch out on the tatami, relax, or lie down was very comfortable, and it was impressive how we could unwind like at home even though it’s a Hotel. There was also a convenience store nearby, which made quick shopping easy. The beach is within walking distance as well, so the location is great for enjoying an easy seaside stroll. Overall, it was an excellent value-for-money stay and we were very satisfied.

We stayed here to celebrate my best friend’s birthday. The Room was spacious, and it was great to be able to use two baths—one for day-use guests and one for overnight guests. The meals were delicious, and we were very happy to receive a birthday gift at the time dessert was served at dinner. We also enjoyed having a birthday party in the Room. Since we checked out at 7:15 a.m. to go to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, we would like to stay longer next time. Thank you very much.

You can use the neighboring Onsen as many times as you like from check-in to check-out. The baths were open from 6:30 a.m., so I could also enjoy a morning bath!! The Room is small, but since it’s No Meals Included, it was more than enough! Even though it was inexpensive, towels and loungewear were included, which I really appreciated!

I always look forward to visiting, soothed by the Onsen waters of Bessho and the nature of Shioda-daira. This time as well, I enjoyed a relaxing stay with wonderful meals, baths, and the warm atmosphere of Nanjo Ryokan. Every dish reflected the best of the local area and was truly delicious. The building feels like time has stood still since the Showa era, which is very calming. I imagine it must be challenging to maintain such a historic Accommodation, but I think replacing the tatami mats in the Room would make it even more comfortable. I hope this Accommodation continues for many years to come. I will visit again!
