I was worried about getting there, but the Onsen with the open-air bath was excellent. Both dinner and breakfast were wonderful and impressive. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

Originally, my husband and I planned to go by ourselves, but our children decided they wanted to come too and made separate reservations on their own, so it ended up being a family trip. We truly appreciate how wonderful the hot springs, the meals, and all the staff were. Even though we had booked separately, we were told at check-in that you arranged for us to be seated together at dinner, which we are very grateful for. We were satisfied with everything and would love to visit again if we have the chance.

Nozawa Onsen has few accommodations that allow pets. Among them, we had an excellent stay in a spacious log house room, enjoying a relaxing onsen experience. They provided a parking pass for visiting the public baths in town and even allowed us to use the onsen after the trail race the next day. The attentive service was truly appreciated. We look forward to staying here again when we participate in the race next year.

I visited with a friend for our once-a-year, slightly indulgent girls’ trip. The Accommodation seems to be located right in front of a local bus stop, but part of the national highway on the bus route was closed due to a landslide and buses were taking a detour, meaning extra travel time from both Takayama and Matsumoto. So my friend drove from Nagoya instead. We took a short break at the Hirugano Kogen Service Area to enjoy the magnificent scenery, and arrived comfortably in just under three hours with no traffic. There were spots with some snow remaining along the sides of the road, but there was no snow on the road itself. Even so, it gets cold in the mornings and evenings, so winter tires are recommended for peace of mind in case of icy conditions. The building is kept impeccably clean and is wrapped in a pleasant quietness and the lovely aroma of charcoal from the irori hearth—while our Room had no odor at all. We were welcomed into a spacious Room with delicious homemade pound cake as part of their hospitality, and as we chatted comfortably, time flew by. The cuisine was truly outstanding—bringing out the full flavor of each ingredient while presenting combinations and plating unlike anything I’d experienced before, far exceeding its reputation and my expectations. As richer foods have started to leave me feeling heavy or unwell the next day over recent years, I especially appreciated how refined every dish was; it felt like food I could happily enjoy even in my 80s without any heaviness. The chef’s and staff’s genuine desire for guests to enjoy themselves came through clearly. Perhaps because of the high altitude, alcohol seemed to hit more quickly—and since I also wanted to bathe—I unfortunately didn’t get around to trying the local craft beer or sake provided in our Room. Still, stepping outside after the sauna into crisp mountain air with grand peaks right before us felt incredible. The private hot Onsen bath attached to our Room—hotter than expected—with jazz at night and birdsong in the morning was pure luxury: an unbelievably relaxing stay beyond what I could imagine. I’d love to return to experience another season’s cuisine as well—I’ve become a true fan. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

This was a thoroughly satisfying stay in every way. Right after arriving, we were captivated by the beautiful song of Japanese bush warblers. After entering our Room, we enjoyed the large public bath and open-air bath until dinner; the Onsen water was wonderfully clear, odorless, and tasteless with an excellent quality. Dinner featured a wide variety of dishes using many local ingredients—especially the apple gratin, which was surprisingly delicious. After sleeping soundly, we enjoyed morning bathing at four different spots to fully savor the Onsen, and breakfast also offered many options—so tasty that we ate a bit too much. Conversation with the proprietress was delightful, making it a truly enjoyable trip. This Accommodation is highly recommended for those who want to take their time enjoying the baths and meals.

I’m originally from Tokachi and now live in Kanagawa Prefecture. Every time I return home, I visit hot springs, and with this stay at Meto Onsen I’ve finally completed my tour of all the hot spring inns in the Tokachi area. I had long wanted to visit Meto Onsen, but due to recent bear sightings I saved it for last. We were blessed with great weather and were able to fully enjoy this secluded hot spring and the delicious meals—I’m truly glad we made it and am very satisfied. Thank you very much for your kind hospitality.

When visiting Hida Takayama, be sure to stay at Sumiya Hagakure! Enjoy a relaxing and private time with our whole-house rental. The old streets of Takayama are within walking distance, making the location perfect. The breakfast rice balls were also delicious. This is an accommodation you'll definitely want to revisit!

Thank you very much for your kindness. The road to the Accommodation was narrow and a bit scary, but otherwise we were completely satisfied. The bath was excellent.

I found an accommodation at Yubara Onsen that matched my preferences with a private open-air bath in the room, so I made a reservation. Although it was pouring rain on the day, the service started with staff bringing an umbrella to us at the parking lot, and their farewell was excellent until the very end. We stayed in "Ruri," and having a large private bath in the room that we could use anytime was amazing. My wife enjoyed soaking in the natural hot spring more frequently than I did. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying, and we didn’t even touch any of the snacks we bought from a convenience store just in case—we were completely full from our meals. The sake was delicious, and we also enjoyed using the baths at neighboring Tsuruya Inn. If I had to point out any negatives, perhaps there was a slight smell from the toilet? Or maybe some mold on the curtain of the open-air bath? The sound of ventilation fans? However, these minor issues didn’t bother us as there were far more positives during our stay. If you’re visiting Yubara Onsen, this is definitely a place you should experience at least once! It’s not just worth 5 stars but deserves 10 stars!

We chose this Accommodation for our final day. The meals were served in our Room, and above all, the Onsen was outstanding. Every dish was delicious, especially the sukiyaki and the surf clam sashimi. Breakfast was also generous, and the peach we had for dessert was sweet and very tasty. I was surprised by the proprietress’s greeting as it was my first time experiencing that, but thank you for taking the time to come and greet us. We would love to visit again. We will use the bottled natural hot spring water we received at check-out as a substitute for toner.

I stayed here because I wanted to relax in Kurokawa Onsen. The Accommodation had a calm atmosphere and was very comfortable, so I was able to spend a peaceful time even on my own. The Onsen temperature was just right, and it truly soothed my travel fatigue. The Asuka hot pot I had for dinner was especially memorable. The gently flavored soup, like white miso, was absolutely delicious, and I enjoyed it all the way to the end without getting tired of it. Every dish made with local ingredients was also wonderful, and both my heart and stomach were completely satisfied. All of the staff were warm and welcoming, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. Thanks to them, I felt refreshed both physically and mentally, making it a memorable solo trip. I would love to come back in a different season. Thank you very much.

Thanks to the Grand Opening special rate, we were able to stay at a very affordable price. The location is also just off the national highway. In an environment that lets you escape everyday life, we were able to truly refresh ourselves. It was a very nice Hotel with a strong sense of cleanliness.

Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious, and we were very satisfied!! The baths are divided into a large public bath and a natural hot spring bath; both were very relaxing, and the kids loved them. We’d love to visit again if we have the chance!

The Accommodation was very clean and well maintained. It felt newer than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Dinner was stylish and delicious, with plenty of great dishes—I’m glad I chose the plan with dinner included. The open-air bath was an Onsen, and it warmed me up comfortably. This is an Accommodation I can recommend, and I’d love to stay again.

Dinner was very satisfying, featuring unique and delicious creative dishes and other tasty items made with local ingredients such as Oita beef. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view from the open-air bath that felt very relaxing.

I stayed with two parakeets. Since the Accommodation is located a little away from the tourist spots, it was quiet and relaxing. Everything we needed was provided, and we didn’t feel inconvenienced at all. Dinner was shabu-shabu, with plenty of vegetables and even udon to finish, which was more than satisfying. With an open-air bath included, we could bathe whenever we liked, and unlike staying at a Hotel, we didn’t feel rushed by schedules and were able to spend a leisurely time together with the birds. Next time, I’d like to book a Multiple Night Stay.

We stayed for two nights in a twin Room. On the first day, we made a Reservation for the private open-air bath and sauna, and it was wonderful. Kusatsu is known for having many very hot baths, but this one was at just the right temperature and felt great! Even without a Reservation, we were able to use the indoor bath privately whenever it was available. The Room was divided into a Japanese-style room with a TV and low table, and a Western-style room with beds. The washbasin featured beautiful pottery, which was lovely. The owner was friendly and kind—at check-in they marked plenty of restaurant recommendations on a map for us, and when we returned they asked if we had been cold while sightseeing. There was also a flashlight in the Room, which really helped for an evening walk. We would definitely like to stay here again when we visit Kusatsu!

The hospitality of the staff is exceptional. The meals are fresh, plentiful, and prepared with great care—absolutely outstanding. The amount of crab was so generous that I couldn't finish it, which I felt truly sorry about. Breakfast offered both Japanese and Western options to enjoy. The service was top-notch as well. The sauna and fitness machines are well-equipped, making it a thoroughly excellent Facility.

Stayed here after a golf day to visit Toshogu Shrine the next day. The building itself is old, but it has all the essentials. Dinner was abundant with a variety of dishes, so much that I couldn't finish it all. Everything was incredibly delicious. The best part is its proximity to Toshogu Shrine, which is the biggest highlight. Additionally, the staff and what seemed to be the hostess were very friendly, making for an enjoyable stay. If I have another chance to visit, I would love to stay here again. Thank you!

The staff and accommodation were exceptional, filled with thoughtful care and attention. Originally a private villa, it has been converted into a full rental-style accommodation. We chose a meal-inclusive plan, and while the portions were more than we could usually finish, the food was so delicious that we tried our best to eat it all... though we did leave a little (apologies!). On the checkout day, it was cold with snow on the ground. The staff and owner kindly brought tire chains for safety, which amazed us with their kindness. Fortunately, our rental car had winter tires, so we didn’t need them. Overall, this was an outstanding accommodation featuring incredible hospitality, state-of-the-art appliances, and an onsen!
