It was a truly relaxing stay from the bottom of my heart. I stayed here to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The attentive care and calm atmosphere that only a small-scale Accommodation can offer were incredibly comforting. Located along the river, time flowed quietly and gracefully, and I was able to soak in the Onsen at a leisurely pace. The Hida beef course dinner was carefully prepared dish by dish, allowing me to fully savor the deliciousness of Hida beef. It was a highly satisfying dinner that left both my stomach and heart full. To all the staff who took care of me, thank you for your warm hospitality. This is a hideaway-like Accommodation perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a high-quality Onsen and meals in a शांत setting.

It’s hard to find places where you can freely bring your pet, so this is highly recommended!! This is a very pet-friendly Hotel. The dog run is well maintained and very clean.

All staff were courteous and greeted us with warm smiles. In the spacious lobby, kimono obi sashes were laid over the sofas, creating an elegant Hokuriku atmosphere. The open-air bath was wonderful, with naturally flowing Onsen water, and I could soak while feeling grateful for nature’s gifts. However, horseflies (Orolro) may come at times, so I used the insect spray provided. Extra caution is needed during the hot season from late July onward. On the way to the open-air bath, I was surprised to see Onsen water bubbling up from the wall and flowing down. The large public bath’s hinoki cypress tub was pleasantly lukewarm—so comfortable that I could have stayed in it forever. Being able to enjoy an Onsen that has flowed continuously for 400 years while taking in unchanged natural scenery truly felt like a luxurious moment.

Following my visit to Chuson-ji in April, I had another chance to go and stayed here again. In April, we were happy to stay at a reasonable price in a 1st-floor Room in the annex, so this time we booked two Rooms with dinner and breakfast included. This time, both Rooms were on the 4th floor with a great view, which was wonderful. Thank you again, and we look forward to staying with you next time.

The open-air bath had a window, and I bathed with the screen in place. The Room had a great view, so I could relax and enjoy the scenery while soaking. The Room was compact, and the washbasin was right next to the bed; at first I found it a bit surprising, but it was actually convenient for drying my hair and getting ready. The Room felt slightly humid. I was disappointed that the toilet paper holder and the bath shelf were coming loose. Also, other LiVEMAX properties offered coffee service, but this one did not, and the coffee served with meals tasted weak. The meals were excellent—the simmered splendid alfonsino (kinmedai) was especially delicious, and the Japanese set breakfast was also very good. All of the staff were very pleasant, so I had a comfortable stay. I would definitely like to visit again.

The large public bath was clean and very nice.\nWe enjoyed the well-equipped recreational area on the first floor, including table tennis.\nWe were satisfied with the service.

You can reach Nasu leisure spots such as Kinomata Gorge and Senbonmatsu Ranch in 20–60 minutes. The meals were delicious, and since it’s all-inclusive, we really appreciated being able to enjoy as many drinks and snacks as we wanted. Rooms on the 3rd floor feature free-flowing hot spring water directly from the source. It also leaves your skin feeling wonderfully smooth. The dinner menu had changed since our previous stay, and it actually felt like both the seasoning and ingredients had improved compared to last time. The portions were generous, and we were very satisfied. They also run a night bar (?), and we were told children are welcome, so our kids stopped by for a special summer vacation late night—and they looked so happy, as if they’d joined the adults’ club. Since it’s rare to find an Accommodation where six people can stay with an in-room bath supplied with free-flowing hot spring water directly from the source, we would love to stay again. We had a fun and comfortable time. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay at this Hotel. The staff’s attentiveness and thoughtful care were outstanding. The facilities were very clean, and I had a relaxing and enjoyable time. I would gladly stay here again.

This was my third stay here, and it’s always one of the Accommodations I consider when visiting Takayama. Some parts of the building do show their age, and compared with newer Kyoritsu Resort properties like “Nono,” it does feel a bit dated. The beds in the guest rooms are a mattress placed on Ryukyu tatami, so they’re low to the floor and feel more like sleeping on thick futons. I’ve seen this style at other Accommodations as well, but personally I prefer a standard bed. The large public bath on the top floor has great views and an open, airy feel. However, the outdoor bath area is somewhat small, so it can be hard to use comfortably when it’s crowded. On the other hand, the three private baths are a major highlight unique to this Accommodation. In particular, “Azumanishiki,” located furthest inside, is outstanding in both size and view—easily one of the most satisfying private baths I’ve used. It seems some of the hinoki wood has recently been replaced, and I also enjoyed its pleasant aroma. It does get busy due to its popularity, but it’s still well worth using. Their signature late-night soba is still available as expected from Kyoritsu properties, and breakfast is Dormy Inn quality. There are plenty of menu items featuring local ingredients as well—I look forward every time to dishes like tomato gyudon and hoba miso. Given Takayama’s popularity, there are many international guests staying here. Also, with only two elevators for the number of rooms, wait times can feel long depending on the time of day. While there isn’t much new in terms of Facility updates, that also makes the Accommodation Fee very reasonable. With such a strong draw in its private baths, it’s easy to see why this place remains so popular. Once again, all staff were kind and pleasant in their service, making my stay very comfortable. Despite some aging Facilities here and there, it more than makes up for them with its charm—and I’d gladly stay again next time I visit Takayama.

This was my second stay in a Japanese-style Room. The walls between rooms seemed thin, but it was very quiet and comfortable, perhaps because there were no guests in the neighboring Room. I would like to stay here again.

Thank you very much for your kind hospitality. Although you kindly drove us to Araya-Shinmachi Station on our departure, the Hanawa Line was suspended due to the early-morning earthquake, and we didn’t know what to do. You even came back to pick us up at the station and took us to the highway bus stop—it was truly a great help. We are deeply grateful to all of your staff. We were disappointed that Gin-no-Yu was closed, but we were able to fully enjoy the rare hot spring water and were very satisfied. Thank you again for everything.

It was wonderful to experience the atmosphere of a Swiss Hotel. We were glad we could reserve the bath for private family use, and we were able to use it without any waiting time.

We stayed here during the summer holidays. True to its reputation as a hidden hot spring in Tohoku, the location was quite challenging to reach, but it was a wonderful Accommodation. The interior was kept very clean, and arrangements of lisianthus and asters placed here and there were soothing. One minor point—perhaps due to the deep mountain setting and humidity—the indoor toilet had a slight musty smell at times, but otherwise it was a very comfortable Ryokan.

We stayed as a family. The Accommodation had a calm atmosphere, and the sense of privacy—being able to relax without worrying about other guests—was very comfortable. Both the Room and the common areas were clean, so we could unwind with our child with peace of mind. What we especially loved was that the open-air bath in the Room was an Onsen. Without having to go to a large public bath, we could enjoy Yamashiro Onsen at any time we liked. The Room layout was also very family-friendly: even with our luggage spread out it didn’t feel cramped, and it helped that the sleeping area and relaxing area were nicely separated. Breakfast was just the right amount, and each dish was carefully prepared and delicious. It made for a pleasant start to the day. This is an Accommodation I would highly recommend for families who want to enjoy an Onsen without feeling self-conscious. We’d love to stay again as a family.

It was a clean Hotel. It’s about a 15-minute walk from Sapporo Station, so either taking a taxi or walking is fine. The large public bath was spacious, and the sauna was also large. Breakfast was delicious.

Considering the price, it felt like good value for money.

The staff’s warm hospitality made us feel truly cared for, and we were able to forget about everyday life and relax in the Onsen. We also enjoyed the course dinner. We’d love to visit again.

Surrounded by Aso’s great natural scenery, the views were amazing! We were upgraded, so our Room was a Japanese-Western style room with a wonderful view. The food was also excellent—Akaushi roast beef and steak, sashimi, and more—with an all-you-can-drink plan, so we were very satisfied! It was only one night, but we really enjoyed the stargazing walk at night, fireworks, the pool, the massage room, and manga—everything was great. The open-air bath was a bit too bright in the daytime because of the sun, so I’d like some measures for that. I wanted to soak in the open-air bath under the night sky, but I drank too much and fell asleep. The next morning we could even see a sea of clouds—it became a truly wonderful memory!

Since it is right in front of Echigo-Yuzawa Station, getting around was easy with almost no travel needed. I was able to use the foot bath and enjoy cake at the cafe as well. I chose a plan with breakfast only, without dinner. Breakfast felt a little less satisfying than before. Overall, I was satisfied. I booked a Room with an open-air bath and was able to use it many times.

Both the Room and the bath were clean, and the staff provided pleasant service, making our stay very satisfying. Thank you very much.
