The meals were absolutely delicious. Everything we ate felt carefully prepared, and it was truly wonderful. Breakfast was also excellent across the board and exceeded our expectations. The bath was great as well. We would definitely love to visit again!

The Onsen was excellent, and every dish was delicious. The white shrimp rice cooked in a pot was especially outstanding and truly memorable. The building felt a bit dated, but the staff’s kind and attentive service more than made up for it, making our stay very comfortable.

Just as the Accommodation’s name suggests, my mind felt cleansed. The open-air bath was breathtaking with nature right in front of me, along with birdsong and the sound of the wind—it was wonderful.

Upon arrival, we were guided by a cart to our Room while still in the car, and the check-in process and explanations were handled smoothly and efficiently. We took a walk before dinner, and when we entered the main building, it was a wonderful place with great atmosphere, where we enjoyed a very delicious dinner. I felt it was great to be able to spend such a relaxing time with my wife.

Everything—from the service and the Hotel’s interior design to the teppanyaki and even the smallest details in the guest room—was perfect. It was a truly moving and wonderful stay.

This Accommodation never disappoints, no matter how many times we stay. The open-air baths include two types—a barrel bath and a rock bath—and can also be reserved for private family use. The meals are excellent, especially the beef tongue stew. The amenities also seem to get upgraded every time we visit. This time, because of the rain, we couldn’t have breakfast outside, but the outdoor breakfast is wonderful as well. It was also great that we were able to book a little cheaper through Yahoo Travel. We’d love to stay again.

There were lots of adorable cats, and they played with us using toys! When we left the Room door slightly open, they came in, which was incredibly soothing. We also had a child with us, and they happily played with the toys, so we’re really glad we came. Even our daughter, who usually spends her time playing games, didn’t play even once—it turned into a fulfilling day and we were very satisfied! She said she wants to come again, so we’ll check our schedule and plan to visit again.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve stayed here. Every time, all the meals are delicious. I usually stay for two nights, and I’m always very satisfied to be able to relax in the Room’s Onsen and enjoy plenty of reading at my leisure. I’ve recommended it to relatives and friends, and they were delighted. I’ll be back again.

Four of us stayed here on a girls’ trip. We booked a guaranteed Mt. Fuji view Room and were thrilled to see such a beautiful Mt. Fuji! The Room had a nostalgic Showa-era feel, but it came with basic amenities and tea, and since we only stayed one night and didn’t spend much time in the Room, it was more than sufficient. The meals (with breakfast and dinner included) were delicious, and there was so much food we couldn’t finish it all even though we wanted to try more. In the morning, we could hear Japanese bush warblers singing, which felt wonderfully refreshing, and seeing majestic Mt. Fuji made it an unforgettable memory! If we have the chance, we’d love to visit again.

The old-fashioned Momoyama-style bath was truly impressive. From the changing room, the detailed ceiling and flooring created a wonderful sense of character, and when I opened the door to the indoor bath, I couldn’t help but sigh at the atmosphere of a bygone era. The open-air bath also had an excellent ambiance. I rated service 4 because I would have appreciated clearer maps and signage inside the property.

The 200g lava-grilled Fukushima beef was generous and very satisfying. The sake tasting was also delicious. Breakfast featured fresh salad vegetables—just what you’d expect from the JA Group—and I was impressed. I was also happy to try every type of egg dish. Because my mother has trouble with her legs, we wanted a Japanese-Western Room with beds, as beds are easier for her when getting in and out of bed. Unfortunately, there were no vacancies at the time of Reservation, so we booked a 10-tatami Japanese-style Room. However, perhaps due to cancellations caused by the typhoon, we were offered a 20-tatami Room instead. It was spacious and very comfortable. They also prepared a mattress with bed-like height for my mother, which was a great help. Although the weather wasn’t ideal and we couldn’t enjoy much sightseeing nearby, we were able to relax at the Hotel and were very satisfied overall. We would love to stay again if we have another opportunity.

I was drawn in by the Hotel photos on Yahoo! Travel. The Room was very spacious, with an open and clean feel, and I was able to relax comfortably. The open-air bath was a good size, the sauna was clean, and I personally found the cold plunge temperature very pleasant. The meals were also delicious. I would love to stay again.

I stayed for two nights. The ocean view from the panoramic bath on the third floor was amazing. The Onsen was also great.

I accompanied my relatives on this trip because their family home is in Akita. They said there was nothing there, but we drove through Hachimantai and, along the way, enjoyed a day-use bath at Goshogake Onsen. After visiting the family grave in Noshiro (the main purpose of the trip), we stayed at this Accommodation. Things ended up being a bit hectic, but we would like to stay again.

I chose Zao Onsen this time because I wanted to soak in Wald Berg’s open-air bath again after a long time. When I arrived at the Hotel, I felt the hospitality and service were better than before. At the front desk, they seemed to remember that I had stayed here previously. When I was shown to my Room, I appreciated that the air conditioning had already been set to a comfortable temperature. And then, the Onsen—Zao Onsen really is wonderful. Among all the baths in Zao Onsen, Wald Berg’s forest open-air bath is spacious and truly outstanding. Dinner was more than satisfying as well, and I was happy that even a solo guest receives a beer. I ended up enjoying the open-air bath four times—it was excellent. The only disappointment was that the riverside open-air bath was closed due to bear activity, so I couldn’t use it. In the past, my mother-in-law, my wife, and I came together and enjoyed our stay; this year my mother-in-law passed away, so it was just the two of us. As it is Obon season, we enjoyed Zao Onsen while remembering her fondly.

I visited with my daughter, and from start to finish we were able to relax and enjoy a comfortable, unhurried stay. The Room was clean and simple yet well equipped with everything we needed, and the private open-air bath in the Room—available as many times as we liked at any hour—was truly soothing. The meals were excellent, especially the rice, and we enjoyed hearty dinners and breakfasts. We were also allowed to bring our own alcohol, so we brought a local wine; glasses were kindly provided, and it seemed other guests also brought their own drinks and enjoyed them in their own way. The proprietress’s hospitality was thoughtful without being overbearing—she checked in at just the right moments with a gentle word—and the pleasant atmosphere throughout made this a wonderful Accommodation that I’d love to visit again next time with my husband.

We stayed for one night during the Obon holidays with my daughter’s family. My son-in-law was visiting Kusatsu Onsen for the first time, and he really enjoyed the delicious meals and the yumomi experience at the Ryokan. All of the staff were kind, and even our 9-month-old grandchild was able to enjoy it, making it a wonderful trip. We would like to stay at Sakurai Ryokan again.

I stayed for one night in early September. It’s close to Jigokudani, and the Onsen was simply wonderful. There are many types of Onsen baths, and I really enjoyed them. We had the dinner and breakfast buffet, and I honestly wondered if it was really okay to have all-you-can-eat crab like this. The Japanese- and Western-style buffet was impressive, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

Although it was a last-minute trip, we had a very comfortable stay at this Hotel. The dinner buffet was excellent—Aizu local specialties and everything else were all delicious. My husband said it was the best buffet of any Hotel we have stayed at while traveling. The bath was also spacious and clean. We had a wonderful stay.

The male front desk staff member was wonderful, and it made me very happy. When I asked a question, he responded with far more flexibility than I expected, which truly impressed me. Thank you very much. He also listened to my conversation with my parents and kindly informed us of the bus schedule without us even having to ask—his thoughtful attention was very pleasant. Thank you for taking care of us during our stay. Dinner was served at a fast pace, so it felt a bit rushed. Since we had the earliest time slot and other guests were coming in afterward, I understand it couldn’t be helped.
