We stayed as two couples, my husband and I, along with my sister and her husband. The accommodation provided shuttle service to the nearest station, and the staff's hospitality was excellent. The meals were outstanding; the rice from Uonuma was so delicious that both the porridge at dinner and breakfast the next day left us thinking we had never tasted such amazing rice before. If I had to mention one minor disappointment, it would be that the beef steak served at dinner was cold. However, all other dishes—appetizers, wild boar dish, sashimi—were absolutely delightful. As a parting gift, they gave us souvenirs which included a photo taken during our meal from the previous day—a wonderful keepsake of our stay. Thank you very much!

It was a very good facility. Everyone was kind, and it became a good memory of Kanazawa. Thank you very much.

In early March, our family of three stayed at KODACHI while there was still snow. The open setting featured an irori dining area, a wood-fired sauna, a large outdoor hot bath and cold plunge, a bedroom trailer, a sanitary room, and a deck with a fire pit. We checked in at 3:00 pm and headed straight to the outdoor bath in the provided swimsuits—our 5-year-old daughter was thrilled. Dinner was served around the irori: seafood hot pot and salmon-and-lily-bulb takikomi rice cooked over firewood. Our child even asked for seconds of the rice, and we were all very satisfied. They also set up a projector during dinner so our daughter stayed entertained while we could enjoy our meal at ease. After she fell asleep, we prepared the wood-fired sauna and lit the deck fire ourselves (staff can also assist). Relaxing in the sauna while looking up at the starry sky among the trees was truly an incredible healing experience. On evening walks around the spacious grounds we enjoyed stargazing, and in the morning we went birdwatching with binoculars, searching for long-tailed tits together. After breakfast we took snowshoes to see the river, and before we knew it it was time for checkout at 11:00 am. Next time we’d love to return in summer for two nights. Thank you to all the kind staff for such a special experience.

The food is delicious every time, and the Room is very clean. It was a very lovely pension that seemed to overflow with the kind personality of the owner couple.

The onsen was out of order, so we used nearby onsens with a pass. The accommodation staff were kind, and the meals were enjoyable and delicious. The breakfast rice was shiny and very tasty. I would love to try the onsen once it is fixed.

This was our first trip to Hakuba with my daughter, and we were very satisfied with this accommodation. With only four rooms, each uniquely designed, we chose the "Condo" room this time. The room featured beautiful interior design, offering a luxurious and private experience. My daughter was delighted as well. For us, the enjoyment of a trip heavily depends on the accommodation's room and meals, and Kunugi exceeded all expectations with its hospitality and cleanliness. One of the highlights was the bath facilities—three options including indoor baths and an outdoor Asian-style bath that required a reservation. The outdoor bath had a tropical resort vibe where we could relax while enjoying views of the garden. It was so pleasant that I ended up using it twice—once in the evening and again in the morning. Dinner consisted of a full-course menu featuring fish and meat dishes that were casual yet delicious. The French toast served at breakfast was also excellent, which made my daughter very happy once again. Having stayed at many hotels or ryokans before, I believe accommodations like Kunugi—with its originality and exceptional hospitality—are rare to find. While winter is likely their peak season due to increased demand, visiting during off-season periods like now through autumn offers more reasonable rates. Summer in Hakuba feels like experiencing Japan’s traditional landscapes—a truly unique region worth visiting. We will definitely return for another stay! The owner was incredibly kind—a wonderful host—and even provided shuttle service for us. Thank you so much for making this summer trip such an unforgettable experience!

All the staff were cheerful and energetic, and their service was excellent. The Room and the bath were spacious and comfortable. The view from the Room was outstanding. Every dish at dinner was delicious. I would definitely like to stay again when I visit Aso. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a family of four. The bath was very relaxing, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. All the staff were friendly, and we had a very pleasant stay.

Both the front desk staff and the head therapist were wonderful. The Shuttle Service staff from Nasu-Shiobara Station was very kind. Thanks to them, we had a fantastic stay. It was like a dream to be able to enjoy such delicious, authentic Peking duck in Nasu Highlands. We will definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

The more you travel, the more your 기준 for choosing an Accommodation shifts from “luxury” to “essential comfort.” Tucked away in a mountain gorge at 1,000 meters above sea level in Kokonoe, Oita, Tabinoyado Yamatsubaki feels like the final paradise discerning travelers eventually find. Its greatest value lies in its intentionally limited number of rooms. Far removed from the bustle of a large Ryokan, it offers complete privacy—paired with perfectly judged hospitality that is attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment you arrive, you can feel everyday life quietly fade away. The open-air bath is simply unforgettable. In crisp, unobstructed air, soaking in superb free-flowing Onsen while watching the starry sky shift moment by moment becomes more than a bath—it’s an indulgent sense of oneness with nature. For an Accommodation with such a private atmosphere, the generous space throughout is exceptional and especially appealing to wellness-minded travelers. As I was visiting after business and didn’t want to inconvenience the owner couple, I booked a stay with breakfast only—but each dish at breakfast told its own story. Every bite was spot-on and far beyond expectations. I regretted not ordering dinner so much that I could only think afterward: “Why didn’t I?” I also learned that at nearby Komatsu Jigoku—reopened for sightseeing after restoration completed in summer 2025—you can make Onsen eggs yourself. They kindly sold me eggs upon request and graciously accommodated my last-minute favor. I visited in early summer, but reaching Kokonoe’s mountains when they are covered in snow will likely require some preparation. Even so, that challenge only adds to the thrill of heading into a hidden retreat. Nature, renowned hot springs, and outstanding cuisine—Yamatsubaki brings them together in near-perfect balance. It isn’t just somewhere to stay; it’s a destination in itself—a truly one-of-a-kind Accommodation worth traveling for.

We stayed as a family of three. The surroundings were wonderful, and we were very satisfied with the Onsen and the meals. Our child has a big appetite, so we weren’t sure at first, but it was more than enough. Unexpectedly, we saw five wild deer on the way to the Hotel.

This Accommodation was even more wonderful than I had imagined from the website. The furniture choices and layout were excellent. There were plenty of amenities, towels, and tableware provided, so we were able to stay very comfortably. The free-flowing natural hot spring bath was also incredibly relaxing. Since the tub is large and holds a lot of water, adjusting the temperature was a bit difficult—that would be my only minor drawback. During our stay there was a minor issue with the building, but I believe it was handled appropriately in the end. When I visit Hakodate again, I would love to stay here again.

I have traveled to many places, but this was an indescribably wonderful space where I had a truly great time. Despite the unfortunate rain, I was able to enjoy the outdoors without getting wet. Bringing my dog, enjoying the open-air bath, and experiencing outdoor activities—all my wishes came true!

The views from the balcony were stunning, with both mountains and the sea in sight, and we could relax and enjoy them without noticing the time. Some parts of the road leading there were narrow, but it was a place where you can truly feel close to nature—beautiful scenery stretching out ahead and even the occasional deer along the way. The cottage itself was very clean and comfortable. Although mobile reception was a bit weak, Wi-Fi is provided, so it wasn’t an issue. Above all, the owner’s hospitality was exceptional, allowing us to spend a relaxing stay with complete peace of mind. It’s a place where you can truly unwind, and we would love to visit again.

This is a historic, long-established Onsen Ryokan, but the baths and Rooms have been renovated, so we were able to relax comfortably. The meals were also delicious, enjoyed while appreciating both mountain and seafood specialties. I would definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.

We stayed here the night before our hike. We thought it might be a bit of a splurge, but the Shuttle Service, luxurious meals, open-air bath, and fluffy bedding made for a wonderful night’s sleep. We were able to set off comfortably and were very satisfied. However, since there were six of us, it was inconvenient to make the Reservation in three separate bookings.

This was my second stay. Just like last time, the meals were incredibly delicious and truly impressed me. Even classic dishes like shabu-shabu had thoughtful touches that felt unique to this Accommodation, which was a pleasant surprise and made dining a real joy. The Room was also comfortable and clean, and I was able to relax completely. The Onsen was wonderful, and I enjoyed the bath in the Room as well as the other private baths many times. The attentive yet unobtrusive service was also very pleasant. Thank you very much. I would love to stay again.

The building may be old, but it was kept clean. The open-air bath had a wild and natural feel, offering an extraordinary experience that was very enjoyable. The Room was spacious as well. Above all, we appreciated the thoughtful efforts to make our stay pleasant. It was also nice that rice and miso soup were self-serve with unlimited refills. We would love to visit again!

I have been longing for the autumn leaves of Lake Chuzenji (Chūzenji) for 10 years. Moreover, that time is my birthday! But it's so hard to get a reservation. This time, when I happened to check, it was available!? Surely there was a last-minute cancellation. I hurriedly made a reservation. All the staff at the property were smiling and cheerful, with excellent hospitality. The futon was so fluffy, I couldn't help but dive in! The bath was amazing, and the food was excellent. I was surprised at how delicious the Nikko pork was. I thought Tokyo X was supreme, but this was great too! As soon as I got home, I made a soy milk hot pot with Tokyo X. It was so delicious! The recommended sake was also very tasty, and even my wife, who doesn't usually drink sake, gulped it down. Breakfast refills were free, and I ended up having three bowls. I woke up early to take a bath, photographed the full bloom of autumn leaves while basking in the morning sun, and took another bath until just before checkout... I think I went in about five times in total? The water was truly wonderful, and I could stay in it forever. It seems to have become very popular after being featured on TV. I was really happy to be able to stay. Thank you very much.

We stayed here because each Room has a free-flowing Onsen bath. Our Room was a Standard Twin, but it was spacious enough for the two of us to relax comfortably. The bathtub was also large enough for two, so we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen. Dinner was an additional charge, but we enjoyed very delicious Hida beef. Some staff spoke only basic Japanese, but there were no issues with the service and it felt refreshingly different. We would like to stay again.
