Enjoy the great nature of Nasu with a sauna & Onsen. The Facility was highly satisfying. We look forward to visiting again next year.

Hirayu Onsen has milky-white, iron-rich waters. After a day of hiking, it warmed us up wonderfully. The open-air bath was especially nice. The meals focused on local specialties, and we were able to enjoy a full range of Gifu delicacies such as Hida beef shabu-shabu, hoba miso, and salmon sashimi. It was supposed to be the standard meal plan, but for us—a couple in our mid-50s—it was more than luxurious enough and very satisfying. As for hospitality, the woman at the front desk, the woman who served our meals, and the man were all friendly and warm. It’s also convenient—about a 5-minute walk to the Hirayu Bus Terminal for buses to Kamikochi. We had a wonderful trip.

We booked this Accommodation because there was a residents’ discount, so we decided to stay somewhere nicer than usual. When we stayed before, it wasn’t all-inclusive, so we were really looking forward to it this time. The dango grilling was available until 4:00 p.m. We arrived just in time at 4:00 p.m., but we were glad we still got to do it. The amazake was delicious as well. The Onsen was empty, so it felt like a private bath and was wonderful. After the bath, I went to the alcohol corner for a drink, but the room was hot. When I opened the entrance door for ventilation, it was closed again. I also couldn’t find the air conditioner switch. There was a TV installed, but no remote control, so I couldn’t turn it on. Unfortunately, I went back to our Room right away. It said free Wi-Fi was available; it worked in the lobby but not in our Room, which was disappointing. We were very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. At breakfast there were many different side dishes for rice, and I ended up running out of rice. There were a few disappointing points, but all of the staff were kind and very pleasant. The Onsen and meals were great as well, so it turned into a wonderful wedding anniversary trip.

We stayed as a family. Our children really enjoyed the kid-friendly quests and fireworks. We were also able to relax in the large public bath. I do wish there had been a bit more consideration regarding the morning open-air bath tub, but the meals were just right, we could fully enjoy the wine including welcome wine, and we would like to stay again.

It felt like stepping into the world of Anne of Green Gables (though I believe Anne is from Canada...), and it was a wonderful space. The Room also had an antique feel, and my daughter was absolutely delighted. The open-air bath requires a Reservation. Unfortunately, because it’s so popular, we couldn’t use it this time, which was disappointing. Next time I’ll make a Reservation earlier (haha). Since the weather wasn’t great, I’d love to visit again during rose season.

Tucked away in a tranquil mountain setting that’s hard to believe is only about a 15-minute drive from central Odate, the view from the open-air bath was wonderfully calming. The building itself feels older, but the guest room was very clean and seemed to have been renovated.

Everything was even better than I expected. Above all, the open-air bath in the Room was outstanding. If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again.

The Onsen was incredibly relaxing. It felt like soaking in a facial toner, and my skin became silky smooth!

The renovated traditional building offers a modern Japanese-style Ryokan with friendly and helpful staff. The Onsen is available as a private bath, and you can use it anytime if it's vacant. There are three baths, each supposedly at different temperatures, but they all seemed to be the same temperature and quite hot. The much-talked-about breakfast was also delicious.

I visited during a solo motorcycle trip. Since it was near a ski resort, it seemed off-season, so there were few guests, and I was able to relax and fully enjoy the Onsen. Although I chose a no-meal Plan, I received complimentary coffee and freshly baked croissants in the morning. The croissants were freshly baked and delicious. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

I had never stayed in Matsushima before and chose this Accommodation to relax and unwind. The entrance scenery featuring a beautiful combination of the moon and pine trees was wonderful, and all the staff were polite and kind. The private bath was also lovely, with great attention paid to details such as the view. The food was, of course, carefully crafted and delicious, but I was also impressed that the staff uniforms used locally woven textiles, and that the uniforms changed between morning and afternoon to match the atmosphere. It was a refined Accommodation that beautifully incorporated both its ambiance and local specialties. The Onsen left my skin feeling incredibly smooth—you can truly feel the quality of it. I was able to spend a truly high-quality day here. The sake pairing at dinner was outstanding. As someone who loves sake, it was an option I really appreciated. This is an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again.

We stayed in the Pine Building to spend some relaxing time as a family. The manager was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so we were able to enjoy a comfortable stay. We had planned a barbecue in the very spacious garden, but unfortunately it rained. We were told that rain-cover Facilities will be added soon, and this time they provided us with a parasol, which allowed us to enjoy it. The open-air bath exclusively for the Pine Building was spacious enough, and since it is fed directly from the hot spring source and runs slightly hot, we were able to adjust the temperature using the provided yumomi paddle and even try yumomi ourselves. We also enjoyed an evening stroll of about 10 minutes on foot to Yubatake and experienced Kusatsu at night. The surroundings were very quiet at night, allowing us to relax. As this is a relatively new Accommodation, everything felt very pleasant. We would love to stay again.

Thank you very much. Although we booked just before Golden Week, we were able to stay in a Room with a lake view. The interior had been renovated, and the tatami, washbasin, toilet, and shower room were all clean. It was especially nice to be able to see Mt. Fuji from the bath. We also enjoyed the delicious meals. Breakfast was a Western-style set. Since many Accommodations serve Japanese-style breakfasts, it felt refreshingly different. As some guests strongly prefer rice in the morning, it would be helpful if you could let guests know at check-in that “tomorrow’s breakfast is Western-style,” ideally with a sample photo. Many of the staff were from overseas, but their service showed they had received training in Japanese-style hospitality.

We chose a Room with a private Onsen and stayed there. It was our first time, and the futons were already laid out in the Room, with consideration given to minimizing unnecessary staff entry. As it is mineral spring water, it is heated, but the clear, colorless water was easy to soak in and warmed us up nicely even at a lukewarm temperature. The meals were excellent—sashimi and grilled fish that you wouldn’t expect for a place near the mountains. Insects may occasionally wander into the open-air bath in the Room, which some guests might find bothersome, but we were fine with it. If it were closer, we would love to visit this Accommodation again.

At first, the building’s age made me wonder if it might be a letdown, but everything was very clean, the food was delicious, and the service was courteous. I was very satisfied. I’d like to stay again when I’m in the area.

The Onsen was great, and the meals were excellent as well. However, the Room walls seemed thin, and we could constantly hear an elderly couple in the next room from evening until after midnight and again from early morning.

The Room was spacious, bright, and clean, and we were very satisfied. We stayed as a group of six across two generations including children, and the 2LDK layout was perfect. Since two of us are smokers, we were also able to relax and smoke in the Room, which made everything even better. We would like to stay again. We checked various sites, but in the end IKYU offered the best price and felt the most reliable.

This Accommodation is attached to a roadside station. There are Rooms in the main building, and there are also trailer houses behind it; one of the four units allows guests with dogs. It seems you can enjoy BBQ except during the winter season. The reception staff’s kindness and smiles were especially memorable. There were no dog amenities in the Room. Since it is a dog-friendly Accommodation, I didn’t expect too much, but it was kept very clean—by far the cleanest dog-friendly place I’ve stayed at so far. The Room even had an open-air bath and underfloor heating, so we were very comfortable. We could also use the on-site bathing Facility for free. The bath with Hokutolite warmed me through to the core, and it was well cleaned too. There were quite a few day-use visitors as well, which shows how popular it is. We didn’t eat here this time, but dinner seems to be available at the dining hall from 5:00 PM. I’d like to try it next time. Done! Thank you very much.

I chose the lower-priced meal option, and this is my rating. The bath and the Room are on the small side, but there was plenty of hot water and it was good. There is no sauna, but I can’t use one anyway due to my constitution, so it wasn’t an issue.

Perhaps because it was before the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy the Onsen almost as if it were private, which made for a very relaxing stay. Although the water was clear and colorless, black mineral deposits formed in it, and it warmed us up wonderfully. The Room was well cleaned, the meals were delicious, and we were very satisfied overall. It was a bit disappointing that there is a step between the lobby and the elevator to the guest rooms. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again when visiting Fukushima.
