Nationwide × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly-rated Hotel·Ryokan - 56Page Number

We stayed here again this year, following our visit last year. Last year it was very cold even during the day, perhaps because of the rain, but this year we were blessed with great weather and it was almost hot when we arrived. As the sun set and it was time for dinner, it became wonderfully cool, and the meal was absolutely excellent! After dinner, we stepped outside and looked up at the sky—there were so many stars it felt like they might fall from above, and we even saw a shooting star. It was the best night sky! This is a quiet pension where time seems to slow down and you can truly relax. Thank you very much.

My sister and her husband from the U.S. visited Japan, and we used this accommodation for a one-night trip with our parents. The maisonette had 3 rooms with baths, each spacious, and the first floor featured a kitchen-equipped dining area and a living room with a fireplace, providing ample space even for 7 people. The center lounge offered alcohol-free drinks from morning to evening, which was perfect for those who enjoy non-alcoholic beverages (laughs). The young staff provided excellent service, while the experienced staff offered solid support when needed. We booked quite early at a very reasonable price; although there was an additional fee for early check-in, we opted for it. Please note that lounge access is available only after check-in. One night felt too short—I’d love to stay 2 or 3 nights next time!

It was a wonderful Accommodation. The Room was spacious, and the open-air bath in the Room was large and continuously flowing, so I enjoyed it many times. There are two private indoor baths and one private open-air bath, so the bathing facilities are excellent. Dinner was served in the Room, everything was delicious, and I finished it all. Breakfast was served in a private dining room with partitions, and it was convenient to order refills of rice, miso soup, and tea via tablet. Breakfast was also very delicious. Having chawanmushi at breakfast made me very happy. I also appreciated that coffee after the meal could be brought to my Room. It stayed cool even in summer, and I was able to relax and fully enjoy both the Onsen and the meals at a leisurely pace. I would definitely like to visit again, and I look forward to staying with you then. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I was able to relax and spend time at a leisurely pace surrounded by nature. We could park the car right next to the building, which made loading and unloading luggage very convenient, and we even saw deer along the way. For dinner, I wanted to eat at CAFE Erina, so I chose the hamburger steak. It was delicious and very filling. The next morning, after heading into town to see the morning mist, I enjoyed the private open-air bath, then had breakfast in the Room while taking in the view—it was truly amazing. I’d love to stay again. I stayed in that Room.

I chose this Accommodation based only on the cost and Reviews, but the Onsen and meals were excellent.

This time, I stayed with a friend. Due to the earthquake, there were fewer tourists, so the Onsen town felt a bit quiet, but the Accommodation had a warm, homey atmosphere and the staff were kind, making it very comfortable to stay. The meal was my first irori kaiseki dinner; it was delicious and very filling. However, during our Onsen-hopping, several places were closed, which was the only disappointment.

This is a secluded riverside Accommodation deep in the mountains, with the soothing sound of the river. Dinner was delicious. It was my first time trying basashi (horse sashimi), and it was tender and very tasty. Every dish was carefully prepared, and my spouse and I kept saying, “This is so good,” as we ate. The bath was wonderful—I went in three times. In the early morning, we visited Hagoromo Falls near the Accommodation. The waterfall twists into multiple layers like draped feather robes, and it’s truly impressive. You’ll climb uphill for about 10 minutes at first, but after that it becomes flat. I highly recommend going.

We were blessed with great weather, and the view from our Room and the starry night sky were truly wonderful. The Onsen was also a sulfur-rich milky hot spring that we love, incredibly relaxing, and made for a very luxurious stay. Every dish was a carefully crafted creative kaiseki meal prepared for us, and it was delicious. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.

More and more Accommodations that welcome dogs have been appearing in recent years, and I stay at various private rental homes around Japan a few times a year. Among them, JADE GROUP’s Accommodation is outstanding in every way (this was my third stay including other JADE properties). The stylish exterior, interior design, and furnishings; the more-than-generous space and openness; and the spacious bathroom were all clean and made for a very comfortable bath time. I loved the overall simple yet luxurious atmosphere. The kitchen appliances were fully equipped, and having a Dyson vacuum cleaner plus a washer-dryer permanently installed was extremely helpful for someone like me who is a bit particular about cleanliness. With such excellent Facilities, I did wish there were at least basic amenities provided as well. From the large living-room windows, you can enjoy views of mountains and rural scenery. In this quiet setting with complete privacy from others, we were able to relax at our own pace—and it still didn’t feel like enough time—so if possible, I recommend a Multiple Night Stay.

We stayed for two nights on a family trip. The property is close to the highway interchange, which was very helpful as we were traveling with elderly parents and could keep travel time short. The meals were excellent, just as we had heard—everything was delicious, and the portions were more than we could finish, exceeding our expectations. The staff provided courteous service, and it was a wonderful, relaxing trip. Thank you very much.

The price is reasonable, and the food (BBQ) and the drinks in the refrigerator were excellent! Having a bath and sauna in the same building is very convenient. However, due to low water pressure in the shower, I rate the Facility 4 stars.

This is a truly wonderful Accommodation. It is decorated with many artistic handmade pieces that blend seamlessly with the furnishings, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The four indoor baths are set up so you can tell whether each one is “Available” or “In Use,” and they were never all occupied, so we could bathe freely. Two baths are sized for 1–2 people, and the other two are a bit larger with great views. The water feels fantastic. There is also an outdoor bath that you lock from the outside before entering. This open-air bath is simply excellent. You can spend unhurried time surrounded by nature, with plenty of mineral deposits in the water as well. The short walk to get there is lovely too, and various wildflowers welcome you along the way. The owner was very kind, and the hand-dripped coffee was delicious. It’s an Accommodation that makes you want to come back (and feels like coming home).

Although there was an issue upon arrival, the Facility staff responded promptly and were very helpful. I would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much.

This is my third visit. The meals are delicious, and since there is a bath in the Room, you can enjoy it 24 hours a day. The resident dog, Luna, is also very calm and adorable! It’s a Ryokan I truly love—quiet, relaxing, and an extraordinary space where you can unwind. There’s also a dog run where they can run around freely, so the dogs are thrilled! Next time, we’re talking about coming back for a Multiple Night Stay with my husband.

We chose the Meat Satisfaction Plan, but it was such a feast that we couldn’t finish it—what a shame! Still, everything was delicious. The Onsen was wonderful too; the open-air bath uses natural hot spring water and felt like an infinity bath overlooking the pond. We were also happy to be able to enjoy coffee in the lounge. The Room had a lovely atmosphere, and it was fun watching the koi in the pond from the window. We’ll come again if we have the chance!

Dogs can take a relaxing stroll in the spacious garden. It was reassuring to be able to keep an eye on them, and we also enjoyed the setup where they could feel like they were having a bath. On top of that, dogs stay for free—truly appreciated. The bedding was very comfortable, and the kitchen with a view of the TV was spotless; everything was so clean that we’d love to come again. I almost don’t want it to become too popular after posting this, but it’s an Accommodation I highly recommend. We had no trouble shopping nearby either.

The view from the Room was great, and the large public bath was also excellent. Because it was a quiet location, I was able to relax and spend time in the property. Dinner and breakfast were delicious.

We stayed for two nights. We arrived on the day a typhoon hit, and after struggling to chop firewood it burned out in no time. Feeling discouraged, we headed for the open-air bath, but a sudden downpour intensified and something fell from the chestnut tree overhead, brushing my shoulder—so I hurried out of the tub. Then I stepped barefoot on a spiky chestnut burr and made my way back to the cabin with rain- and tears-blurred vision. Still, thanks to the clean, wonderfully fluffy bed, I was able to relax. The next morning, freshly ground and brewed coffee—made while my left forearm flexors trembled from all that wood-chopping—was exceptional. On our final morning after the typhoon had passed, we woke up early and had breakfast outside. No need to despair over a soaking-wet fire pit: a cassette gas stove is provided. The salt and pepper provided were so delicious that we put them on everything. Even an ordinary fried egg bought at a supermarket in Tokyo tasted as if it had been reborn as a “Nasu Highlands sunny-side egg” with just those seasonings. Reading this back, it sounds like only slightly questionable memories remain—but this is a wonderful Facility that I can highly recommend even for outdoor beginners like me. If it’s this fun even during a typhoon, I’m sure it would be amazing in good weather, so I’d love to return if I get the chance. *If you’re visiting: please watch out for the chestnut tree above the Onsen and your footing.*

We stayed as a group of three families (6 adults and 4 children). The accommodation was clean both inside and out, allowing us to have a wonderful time. The thoughtful touches such as insect repellent, mosquito coils, and pet sheets were much appreciated. We also made several inquiries by phone before and during our stay (e.g., about towel replacements), and the staff responded promptly and courteously, which was very helpful. If possible, we would love to stay again next year. If I may suggest some improvements: - A minor point, but while there was a rice cooker and measuring cup for rice, there was no rice paddle. It would be great if one could be provided (or at least noted in advance if unavailable). Additionally, having cooking utensils like long chopsticks for stir-frying would be even better. - The refrigerator took some time to cool down; it would help if it could be turned on before check-in if possible (the air conditioning was already on and very comfortable). - A guide or instructions for using the kitchen appliances would be helpful (especially for overseas-made IH stoves, microwaves, dishwashers). - Including a floor plan of the building might make it easier to visualize the space. Even with these points in mind, we had an extremely satisfying stay. Thank you very much!

We stayed with two families and found the space and layout to be more than sufficient. The single-story design is reassuring for families with small children. We were especially satisfied with the well-equipped amenities, including a washing machine and coffee maker. There were enough towels in the room for everyone, and we appreciated having unlimited access to the Onsen. [To the Facility] Since we visited after playing in the snow nearby, it would be even more convenient if there were hanger racks to dry our wearables and shoe trays to dry shoes indoors. Additionally, there were only large deep plates available; having some smaller ones would be nice. It would also be helpful if you could include a floor plan of the room and a list of amenities on your website so that guests can better prepare their stay.
