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

I stayed in a Room with an open-air bath, and the Room was simply outstanding. The spaciousness, cleanliness, design, and the in-room Onsen were all excellent. Since we didn’t order meals this time, we had limited interaction with the staff, but we didn’t experience any inconvenience. I’d love to visit again.

Since it was self check-in, I didn’t have high expectations, but it was a Facility where I could relax comfortably, including the Room, Onsen, and relaxation room. The Onsen quality was excellent; although it was set up so you could visit other Onsens as well, there was no need. There are no meals provided, but just before heading up the mountain there is “Gutto Yamagata,” which offers a great selection of Yamagata food and everything from meals to alcohol. I would like to stay here again when I visit Yamagata.

It was the height of summer, but we were able to relax and enjoy a hygge stay. The in-room Onsen allowed us to bathe without any worries, and it was wonderful to unwind on the wooden deck early in the morning. The meal was delicious—not only the kaiseki course, but also the sea bream rice. Check-out at the entrance was a first for us, and we really appreciated it. We’d love to visit again during crab season.

The sashimi at the buffet was fresh and delicious. I wanted to eat more sweet shrimp, but I was too full. In the morning, the dried fish and sea bream ochazuke were delicious, and I was very satisfied. Since all Rooms have an ocean view, the view from the Room was great, but the windows were cloudy (maybe they get dirty easily from the sea breeze), so I couldn’t see the scenery clearly. Still, all of the Hotel staff were very kind.

We stayed here the day after visiting Ikaho Onsen. When we arrived, a staff member was sprinkling water at the entrance, so we asked where to park. As we headed over, a cat unexpectedly guided us to the parking area—such a heartwarming welcome from the start. The Accommodation, the pleasantly warm Onsen, and the meals were all excellent. Another Accommodation we’d love to return to has been added to our list. Thank you very much.

It was a hotel where you could truly feel the unique atmosphere of Karuizawa. Surrounded by trees—including some with autumn leaves—it felt like walking along the tree-lined streets of Karuizawa’s villa area. Just looking at the scenery was relaxing, and it also had a luxurious feel. At night, everything was beautifully illuminated, and we walked to the spa building while enjoying the view. The dinner was thoughtfully crafted and could be enjoyed in a calm setting. The breakfast was also delicious across the board. It’s a hotel that made me want to stay at Indigo again when I visit Karuizawa. Thank you very much.

The service was excellent, and all the staff were courteous and attentive, making our stay very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying, with great portions and quality. The Onsen was especially enjoyable—the open-air bath felt wonderful, the water quality was great, and we were able to relax and fully enjoy it. As for the Facility, some areas felt a bit dated, but everything was kept clean, and overall we had a comfortable stay. With such high satisfaction in service, meals, and the Onsen, this was an Accommodation we would gladly stay at again if given the opportunity.

About five years ago, I stayed at your Hotel on a tour arranged by a travel agency and was deeply impressed, so I returned for personal reasons. This time, on an independent trip by private car, I was once again amazed by the magnificent building that suddenly appears along the cliffside.\nDespite the rainy season, we had a clear view over the Tsugaru Strait, and to our delight the hydrangeas were in full bloom.\nThe Onsen was also excellent. The cuisine truly reflected local Tsugaru flavors; everything was delicious, and in particular the specially ordered large abalone grilled on a ceramic plate was outstanding.\nThank you very much for your hospitality.

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.

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.

The hot spring water was wonderfully silky. The bath area was clean and spacious, and from the open-air bath we could see a sky full of stars—I could have stayed in forever. We only had breakfast, but it was delicious and very filling. I think this is a lovely Accommodation where you can relax and feel at ease.

The Room had a continuously flowing cloudy Onsen, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful Room Service and Shuttle Service. It was excellent value for a Saturday stay for one guest. The only disappointment was that amenities such as facial lotion were individually packaged and provided for just one use—I would have appreciated at least two uses. The meals were the right amount for me, but they may feel a bit light for younger guests or men. Next time, I’d like to enjoy a drink at the bar.

Thank you very much to everyone who assisted us! We were able to enjoy a relaxing three-day stay!

Thank you very much for upgrading our Room. It was a wonderful Room, and my wife was very pleased. We also enjoyed the meals. We would love to stay again.

I stayed at another Accommodation in the same group not long ago, but this was my first return to Tamakiya in 10 years. Last time, discovering Abe Shuzo through the sake pairing was a real highlight, so I did it again this time. Since it was a special occasion, I decided to pay the extra fee and choose the optional premium sake course. It more than lived up to expectations—I truly enjoyed a wide range of excellent sakes, including some with a playful twist. The sommelier’s stories were fascinating, and I wished I could have listened even longer. I was traveling solo, but the staff were consistently courteous and attentive, no different from how they treated larger groups, which I really appreciated. The food was also outstanding: a course featuring plenty of local Niigata ingredients, with every dish delicious from appetizers to dessert. Next time, I’d love to stay in midwinter when there’s deep snow.

The Room comes with a semi-open-air bath, and I could soak as many times as I wanted at any time, so it was amazing! With only five Rooms in total, there were few people even at the open-air bath, and I was able to relax. The Onsen water is clear, but it has a strong sulfur scent, and it left my skin feeling silky smooth. I’d love to visit again if I get the chance!

I love hotel stays and have stayed at many Hotels across Japan, but this Hotel was exceptional. In particular, the views of Mt. Yotei from the Room and the large public bath, as well as the sea of clouds I saw from the rooftop early in the morning, were breathtaking. It seemed there were only a few guests during my stay, so I was able to use both the fitness gym and the large public bath almost privately. The gym had Pilates machines and state-of-the-art equipment, which made working out even better. The shampoo and conditioner in the large public bath had a lovely scent and were very relaxing. I was also happy that the hair dryer was a Dyson product. Breakfast was served as a set course with a choice of Japanese or Western options. The portions were generous and everything was delicious. During my stay I caused some trouble by accident, but every staff member responded with great kindness—thank you very much. Personally, I loved the Room’s color scheme and interior design; it really lifted my mood. If I visit Niseko again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

The open-air bath at 6:00 a.m. was amazing. The clear weather was wonderful too. Being wrapped in morning mist—like bathing in the clouds—was also incredible. We’ll definitely be back.

We stayed here to celebrate my father’s 82nd birthday. I had informed the hotel in advance, and when we entered the room, they had prepared a wonderful birthday surprise: a bottle of wine, towel swans, and a heartfelt birthday card. My father was truly touched. The room was spacious with a great view, the amenities were excellent, and everything was impeccably clean down to the smallest details. We had a very comfortable stay. The draft Sapporo Classic beer in the lounge was absolutely delicious, and it was lovely to sit back anytime, enjoy drinks, and chat. The three of us were able to spend an irreplaceable time together. We were extremely satisfied. I would love to bring him again.
