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.

This was my first visit to Asamushi Onsen. Yanagi-no-Yu, with its rich history, had wonderfully hot water that I truly enjoyed. The building may be old, but it was impeccably clean, making for a comfortable stay. The friendly service made me feel at ease, almost like visiting relatives in Aomori. The grilled shellfish for breakfast was delicious, and I appreciated the attentive care to ensure it didn’t burn. Thank you very much!

We stayed at this Ryokan for my parents’ therapeutic hot-spring retreat. It’s a Ryokan that’s difficult to reach without a car, but it had a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were especially kind, and we truly enjoyed our stay. My elderly parents were delighted with the nostalgic Japanese-style room. There are many stairs inside the Accommodation, and my father, whose legs have started to weaken, had a bit of difficulty walking around the building. We had breakfast, and it was delicious Japanese food that left us completely full.

Both the Room and the front desk were very clean. Since I could use Upopo-no-Yu by myself, it was very comfortable! Compared to Dormy Inn in Otaru, the breakfast selection is smaller, but everything was delicious and I was satisfied. At night, you can also have the late-night soba, and it’s also appealing that you can get a cup of instant noodles for those who couldn’t eat it.

I’ve traveled to Akan several times, but this was my first stay at this Accommodation. It has the feel of a long-established property, and the staff were calm, courteous, and kind. I was satisfied with both breakfast and dinner. The Onsen was very pleasant as well, but the sauna was too hot—right when I stepped in, I burned the soles of my feet. I had been looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing.

The welcome coffee helped me unwind. The open-air bath was spacious, the Onsen water felt gentle, and the late-night rotation was a nice touch—overall, it was excellent. For dinner, the half-buffet Sukiyaki beef was delicious. I wish the free private bath had a bit more water flow, and I’d like it to be by Reservation. The karaoke room had a great view of Lake Akaya and a wonderful location. I’d also like to see more Hotel signboards along the road.

The open-air bath was truly wonderful, and the water temperature was very comfortable, so I could soak for a long time. It was a No Meals Included Plan, but I was able to spend a quiet and relaxing time. It’s an Accommodation where I could really unwind, and I’d like to stay again. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your hospitality at the end of the year. The view from the open-air bath was absolutely stunning. As for the meals, I enjoyed delicious fish grilled over an irori hearth, which made dining a fun and unique experience. To the staff from overseas, I understand that Japanese can be challenging, but please keep up the great work! Your smiles are wonderful in a foreign land!

Thank you for taking care of me on this touring trip! I really appreciated being allowed to park my motorcycle under the eaves by the entrance. The staff included many young women from overseas, and everyone served us politely with constant smiles, so I was able to fully enjoy a satisfying Onsen Accommodation—thank you very much. Next time, I’d like to visit with my wife and daughters as a family, and I look forward to seeing you then. If I may make one request: I had a beer in the floor area next to the front desk, but I was disappointed that the glass was at room temperature (it was a hot day, so it felt lukewarm). I would be grateful if you could consider this. Thank you again for such an enjoyable stay at your Onsen Accommodation. This middle-aged rider will definitely be back!

Free drinks at the lounge corner, the manga corner, sauna, stone spa, and buffet were all enjoyable. The showerhead in the bath was positioned high and angled, making it difficult to wash my hair without holding it, but I was satisfied with the water pressure and mist. I would like to stay at other hotels in the same group as well.

1. Room: Spotlessly clean, down to the smallest details From the moment you step inside, a calm Japanese ambiance surrounds you. The room was beautifully maintained and thoroughly cleaned, with a refreshing sense of cleanliness in every corner, making it truly comfortable. The views of nature and the hot spring town from the window were soothing as well—I was able to relax right after arriving. 2. Dining: Exceptional cuisine showcasing seasonal flavors Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely satisfying! Each meal featured plenty of fresh local ingredients and seasonal specialties, and you can tell every dish is prepared with great care. Beautifully presented and full of flavor, it was delicious enough to leave both my stomach and my heart completely satisfied. 3. Hot Springs: You’ll feel it immediately—silky-smooth skin after bathing When it comes to Yumeryutan, the hot springs are a must. The water is soft and gentle on the skin, and as soon as I stepped out of the bath I could feel how smooth and supple my skin had become. Soaking in the open-air bath while listening to the river’s gentle flow was pure bliss—so relaxing you’ll want to stay in longer.

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!

As we expected to arrive later than planned, we called in advance to discuss dinner arrangements. Despite the short notice, they kindly arranged an outdoor barbecue for us, which was a huge help. The barbecue was excellent—especially the thick-cut meat and sausages. There is also a dog run, and the Onsen Facility you drive to is spacious and very clean. The dining hall is also reached by car. The meals were Western-style like at a Hotel and were delicious. The grounds are wide, lush with greenery, and open, so we could relax at ease. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I stayed here for a friend’s birthday. The food was delicious, and the place was spacious and wonderful! Above all, the Onsen had a great variety, was clean, and helped me feel refreshed! However, it was a bit disappointing to find some hair in the Room and one of the lights wasn’t working. Other than that, I had a really great stay! Thank you very much! Next time I come back, I’d like to stay in a larger Room!

I have stayed at TAOYA several times over the past few years. This was my first time at Kawaji Onsen, and although it was only for one night, I had a wonderful stay—the atmosphere was quiet and the meals were delicious. Some of the staff were from overseas, but everyone was very kind and provided pleasant service. It has become one of the Accommodations I would definitely like to visit again, and I will recommend it to friends. (Just one thing: there is a large stone on the bottom of the open-air bath, and at night it’s hard to see where it is, so I felt it could be a bit dangerous. For that reason, I deducted one star.)

We were able to stay with our dog and had a wonderful time. The meals were delicious, and the golf course greens viewed from the Hotel were dazzling.

The baths and the meals were wonderful. I used the baths four times, and my skin felt so smooth. The portion sizes were just right, and both the Hida beef and the fish were tender and delicious. I would definitely love to stay again. When I visit Hirayu next time, I look forward to seeing you again.

We spent Silver Week as a couple with our dog. Since it was a private cottage rental, we could relax without worrying about others, and our dog had a great time running around in the dog run. The pet amenities were well provided, and we were able to fully enjoy the Nasu Highlands. Although the typhoon limited where we could go, it was still a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again if we have another opportunity.

When I entered the Hotel, the staff welcomed me with a cheerful “Welcome, hello,” and it made for a refreshing start. The room was clean and well maintained, so I had a very comfortable stay. The restaurant staff were energetic and efficient, and I enjoyed the food as well. The only issue was that part of the bathroom floor was slippery, which felt a bit unsafe. At check-out, the staff saw me off with big smiles. Thank you very much for your hospitality. I would love to stay again.

I stayed here with two friends from out of town. I’ve stayed at various Hotels in Akiu Onsen, but Hana no Yu’s buffet was outstanding! You can make your own drinks, and there was a wide variety of delicious dishes from appetizers to desserts. The Room was very clean and I was very satisfied. There are three Onsen baths, so we were able to fully enjoy them. I’d love to visit again.
