The Room, baths, and meals were all wonderful. Both the in-room bath and the private Kashinoki-no-Yu Onsen were excellent. When I mentioned that the handle on the bath basket had come off, they responded immediately. As for the food, when I told them I have gout and can’t eat pork, they adjusted part of the meal. Every dish was delicious, and you could really tell how carefully everything was prepared. The soba was also great. All of the staff we spoke with in various situations were very pleasant, and it truly became a memorable trip. The view from the Room was amazing as well. There was a light mist over the mountains, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It rained at night, but that actually made it even more relaxing with the sound of rain—I didn’t feel disappointed at all even though it rained. The American who traveled with me was impressed by everything and happily said they will definitely come again! I rarely write a Review no matter how much I travel, but Tsuruya was truly outstanding. If you’re considering a trip to Gunma, this is an Accommodation I would highly recommend—so I decided to write this Review. Next time, I’d love to enjoy the winter scenery along with the Onsen and meals. We will definitely visit again! Thank you very much.

Used by a family of three. Great hospitality. The food was delicious! There were things for kids to play with in the dining room, which was a huge help! The view was great, and the baths were great too. The sauna temperature was just a little underwhelming, but since there are lots of kids, I guess that’s to be expected. The round trip by boat also felt special—made for wonderful memories.

I stayed here twice a few years ago, and I was truly happy to be able to return after a long time. All of the staff were genuinely pleasant, and I had a very relaxing stay. In particular, thank you to Mr./Ms. H (I’m using an initial as I’m not sure if it’s okay to share the name) who assisted with my check-in. One thing only: I used FORNI for both dinner and breakfast. At dinner, my meat was upgraded, but I wasn’t asked about my preferred doneness. At breakfast, we were told it would be a choice of main dish plus a semi-buffet, but later we were informed that choosing the Japanese set would not include the semi-buffet, which was a bit disappointing. Even so, this is truly a wonderful Hotel. I look forward to visiting again.

We checked in after enjoying a full day of walking around the hot spring town, visiting Jigokudani, Oyunuma, and the footbaths in beautiful weather. The location of Dai-ichi Takimotokan is amazing—simply the best. Everything was great—the comfort inside the hotel, the fun souvenir shop, and the excellent breakfast and dinner buffets—but above all, the hot springs were truly spectacular! There are so many baths where you can enjoy five different types of spring water, spread across an enormous space about twice the size of a gymnasium. The ceilings are high, and one entire glass wall faces Jigokudani—so it feels like soaking in an onsen right in the valley you just explored, with nature all around you. It’s a one-of-a-kind hot spring experience unlike any other hotel; personally, I think it’s among the best in Japan. I hope everyone gets to enjoy both the view from the baths during bright daytime hours and these wonderful five types of spring water. We’ll be back next year!

It all started with the courteous explanation from the front desk staff, followed by a luxurious dinner, a breakfast with a wide variety of dishes, and a spacious large public bath along with well-equipped hot stone spa facilities. Choosing “i+Land Nagasaki” was absolutely the right decision. We stayed here as a couple to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary, and it became a wonderful memory. We’ll be sure to recommend it to our children as well.

During our trip to explore Kumano, we stayed at Aoki Shima no Yado Kumano Bettei Nakanoshima. What impressed us first was how smoothly everything was handled from the moment we arrived. At the parking area by the port waiting lounge, we simply gave our name and a staff member guided our car for us, and we were able to complete check-in right there in the lounge. The sea viewed from the port was exactly as the inn’s name suggests—truly an “azure sea.” We were moved by its beauty as soon as we arrived. As explained in advance, it takes about five minutes to reach the property by private boat from the port. Even this short boat ride felt like a special touch that made it wonderfully out of the ordinary. Throughout our stay, what stood out most was the high level of hospitality from all staff members. Everyone seemed well trained, and their service was both polite and naturally warm. With the Kumano Kodo registered as a World Heritage site, it seems visitors come from all over the world, and it was impressive to see how confidently and appropriately they assisted international guests as well. What I had been looking forward to most on this trip was the open-air bath. Just as rumored, it’s an incredibly open and relaxing rotenburo with sweeping ocean views right in front of you. From 3:00 p.m., we took our time enjoying the hot springs while listening to the sound of waves—an indulgent experience indeed. Since the men’s and women’s baths alternate daily, we also enjoyed the other open-air bath starting at 6:00 a.m. The hot spring in crisp morning air felt especially refreshing. The meals were also excellent—many delicious dishes making great use of local ingredients—allowing us to fully enjoy flavors unique to Kumano. The staff member assigned to our table provided attentive service throughout, so we could relax and enjoy every moment of dinner. It takes about five hours by car from our home, so it isn’t easy for us to visit often—but even so, this is a wonderful place where we would love to stay again. This trip combined sightseeing at Seiganto-ji Temple, shrines in Kumano, Nachi Falls, and our stay on Nakanoshima into one truly memorable journey. We are grateful for the beautiful sea views, outstanding open-air baths, delicious cuisine—and above all—for everyone’s heartfelt hospitality. If you’re considering a trip to the Kumano area, I highly recommend this property.

I stayed here because I wanted to visit a well-known nearby izakaya, and I was impressed by the stylish, locally inspired interior and tasteful displays—it was a pleasure to look at. Breakfast was homemade, warm, and delicious. Thank you very much.

The bath, the meals, and the hospitality were all perfect. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

I came to relax and rest. From the moment I arrived, all of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room, hallways, and front desk area were kept clean, though the building had a sense of history. Dinner was delicious, with a wide selection of alcoholic drinks, so I was very satisfied. However, the massage chair felt quite worn out and was a bit disappointing. The in-room bath was wonderful—I used it many times and felt refreshed. This is a hot spring inn I would definitely like to visit again.

In a word, we truly had a wonderful time. The private hot spring in the room, the ocean view from it, the hospitality of all the staff, and the delicious meals. It was an experience that led us to find a place we genuinely want to return to for the first time.

The food, hot springs, and hospitality were all wonderful. The only downside was that we don’t tolerate alcohol well, so it was a shame we couldn’t fully enjoy the all-inclusive plan. All the staff made our stay very comfortable—thank you very much.

The staff were wonderful, and the facilities, meals, and service were all excellent. It was a little disappointing that we could only use one of the private open-air baths. This is an inn we would love to stay at again! Thank you for a wonderful time!

We stayed here on a trip with a family we know, and it was wonderful as always. We’ve stayed several times, so both my wife and I can relax with peace of mind—this is our favorite hot spring Accommodation. The family staying with us was also very satisfied, making it the perfect vacation. Since one of our group had difficulty walking, we truly appreciate you accommodating our various requests. We’d love to stay again. Thank you always.

The location right in front of Lake Suwa was excellent, and the room was clean. The meals, featuring mainly local specialties, were very delicious. We also really enjoyed the bus tour visiting the four major Suwa shrines—the guide’s explanations were thorough and easy to follow. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

I wanted to get away from my everyday routine and focus on work, so I stayed here for a 2-night, 3-day workcation (1 dinner and 2 breakfasts). Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. For someone like me who enjoys meals with rice, there were so many dishes that I couldn’t finish everything in one bowl. It felt thoughtfully planned for guests who want to enjoy the main and side dishes as well. I could really sense the care behind the meals—consideration for both those who drink alcohol and those who don’t—and it left a warm impression. The Sendai beef at dinner was restaurant-quality (sorry if that sounds rude). The local nanbanzuke-style mehikari was also great, but the black sesame tofu at breakfast was especially delicious. The desserts were also very elaborate—I was impressed. The hot spring isn’t large, but it’s clean and well maintained, more than enough to enjoy free-flowing natural hot spring water. I also appreciated having a high-quality hair dryer available. Being able to use the hot spring even late at night must be a big burden for the staff, but as a guest it was wonderful not having to worry about time. The room was clean, spacious, and very satisfying. The TV was large and positioned perfectly for easy viewing—I could feel how much thought had gone into guest comfort. The staff’s hospitality was polite and high quality; it made me want to be an equally considerate guest in return. This is definitely a hotel I’d love to visit again.

This was my second stay. It is close to the station, and both the Room (and the entire property) were very clean, making for a comfortable stay. The castle was illuminated, and I could see it from the Room the whole time. I will definitely stay again.

We stayed here on a trip as a couple in our sixties. We take overnight trips about twice every three months, and this was the best value for money we’ve found. The diesel trains on the Sanin Line stood out against the calm early-autumn countryside—it felt like looking at a painting.\nThe room was spacious and well kept, and the meals were simply outstanding. Next time, we’re thinking of coming back in summer and combining it with a beach visit!

Everything—the cuisine, the Room, the Onsen, the garden, and the music—was wonderful, but above all, the hospitality of the president, the proprietress, and all staff was exceptional. We truly felt their attentive care in every detail. This time we stayed for two nights, spending one night each in the Western and Paragon Rooms. The open-air bath while enjoying the view from our Room and the sound of the vintage audio system were both superb, making it a stay that truly let us forget everyday life. We’re not sure when it will be, but we would love to try staying in the remaining two Rooms as well.

I have stayed here every summer for nearly 10 years, and it is truly a wonderful Hotel. Each time I visit, my satisfaction increases. Everywhere in the Hotel is beautiful and spotless, the hospitality is exceptional, and every dish is a delightful surprise. I would like to stay here in other seasons as well.

It was a relief to see the people who had taken care of me before. Set on a quiet hill with great views, the staff were all cheerful and courteous, the Room was clean, the Onsen was relaxing, and the full-course meal was delicious—more than enough to be fully satisfied. Unfortunately it was raining when I left, but at checkout they lent me an umbrella and told me to take it home, which really helped. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again.
