I traveled with my son, and we were completely satisfied with the hospitality. If you have time, there seem to be various activities you can enjoy after check-in. (We checked in after 5:00 p.m., so we didn’t use them.) The restaurant food was excellent. It’s a buffet, but it covers most of Yamagata’s local specialties. The main dish—wood-fired Zao beef—really lets you taste the meat’s natural flavor, and it pairs perfectly with red wine. All-you-can-drink wine from Takeda Winery and Woody Farm was included, which was amazing. Even beer (Asahi and Heartland) was all-you-can-drink—what a surprise. Next time, I’d like to stay with my whole family. Thank you very much!

I visited Odaitou for the first time in 10 years, and it was very nostalgic and fun. The Accommodation was very quiet, so I could relax. The Onsen water quality was excellent. However, I was a bit concerned about the design of the washing area in the bath, as some of the water used to rinse off seemed to flow into the bathtub. The food was very delicious; in particular, I was impressed that the deep-fried menme (kinki) was served freshly fried. I understand there are limits on the catch, but since Hokkaido striped shrimp are so delicious, I wished I could have eaten a little more (lol). In any case, thank you very much for taking such good care of me.

I recently stayed with the No Meals Included plan. As it was a weekday after the Golden Week holidays, it wasn’t crowded, and I was able to relax and enjoy a long soak in the bath. The building feels a bit old, but the Room and large public bath were well cleaned and very pleasant. Thank you very much.

The baths are simply excellent. The Rooms and building are somewhat old overall, but the baths are truly wonderful. The meals aren’t flashy, but they taste good and come in satisfying portions, so we were pleased overall. We were able to set off fireworks in the parking area a short distance away, and the kids seemed to really enjoy it.

We stayed on the Couple Plan, and we truly appreciated several services that were not listed in the Plan details, which were extremely helpful for sightseeing in Kusatsu. Services not mentioned in the Plan details: - Shuttle Service to Yubatake after dinner - Free yukata rental - Drop-off to the terminal at check-out - Complimentary coffee, chocolates, and massage chairs in the lounge - Free ice cream in the freezer In addition, both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with great attention to detail throughout—from presentation and side dishes to cooking methods. If we visit Kusatsu again, we would definitely like to stay here again.

I stayed here on a weekday getaway, and in a word: it was amazing! I definitely want to stay again. First of all, I was impressed by the Room—it’s two-story (I’d never stayed in one before, so it felt really special). It was great that the dining area and the place to relax were clearly separated. The entrance is set up so you don’t run into other guests, you can park where you can see your car, and you can even see Mt. Fuji. The meals—from dinner all the way to a late-night snack—were carefully prepared, and I kept thinking, “How full are they trying to make me?” while happily finishing everything (lol). There were other things that impressed me too, but I’ll leave them out. I just wished checkout could be 11:00 so I could relax a little longer. Thank you very much!

It felt like an Accommodation focused on visiting nearby public baths, and the staff were very kind, which left a great impression. The canned beer and highballs available for purchase at the front desk were also reasonably priced. That said, a few things stood out: - I assume the Onsen is naturally low-temperature, but the open-air bath felt lukewarm. Since it was midsummer, I apologize if that temperature was intentional. - The Room with a private open-air bath was spacious and wonderful, but there was no wash bucket or chair for the bath, no sugar or milk/creamer for coffee, and no glass beer tumbler. It was a bit inconvenient. - The Wi-Fi only worked near the Room entrance. What impressed me most this time was the live performance by volunteers after dinner. From a large song list, they played our requested songs on saxophone, piano, and percussion—it was truly excellent and very moving.

Everything was excellent, including the surrounding environment. The staff and the proprietress were all impeccable in their hospitality. Thank you very much. We will visit again in November to see the autumn leaves.

It was a truly wonderful Ryokan with a nostalgic, traditional atmosphere while still feeling very clean. I especially recommend the private open-air bath in the guest room—it was incredibly relaxing. We had both breakfast and dinner, and they were excellent in both taste and portion size. Also, even though it was last-minute, I asked on the day for a surprise plate for my wife, and they kindly arranged it for us. I don’t usually return to the same place when traveling, but this is somewhere I’d like to visit again next year. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed being able to drink the Onsen water, the nearby Jigoku Onsen, and the many private family baths.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful assistance from the time we requested a change from no meals to meals included with our Reservation. It truly felt like an old castle in the forest, and the Room had a wonderful atmosphere. Above all, the baths—especially the open-air bath—had silky-smooth water, and I wanted to soak in it every day. The restaurant staff were also very attentive, and as expected of Niigata, the food was absolutely delicious.

It feels a bit old, but that’s part of the charm. The Onsen was amazing! I could drink as much beer as I wanted, enjoy plenty of snacks, and relax in a calm atmosphere. It truly felt like we were visiting right in the middle of nature, which was fantastic. This time we planned a 6-day trip, and I’m glad we started on day one at this Accommodation!!

The front desk staff are very kind. There are two bath temperatures, which is great because you won’t overheat. Having a microwave was helpful for heating up convenience store meals. At night, the noise from the neighboring Room can be a bit bothersome. It’s a great service to be able to use the bath after skiing and then head home.

The bath: It would have been better if it was cloudier, but I’m still satisfied. The scale was not working properly, but I apologize for not informing the front desk. Meals: They were delicious. Room: It was small, but I appreciated the handmade cheesecake. The Shuttle Service was also helpful. Thank you!

Sorry for the late Review, but the hostess asked me to leave one, so here it is (lol). From the entrance, the calm atmosphere was wonderful! We didn’t go into the sea this time, but the beach right in front was crowded. There’s a great photo spot right next door, so we took lots of pictures with the sunset! It’s also beautifully lit up at night. Since there are only a few Rooms, we had a very comfortable stay. The large public bath and open-air bath are available anytime, and late at night we could use them almost privately—the sea breeze felt amazing. We also used the in-room bath morning and night, and it was very relaxing. Meals are served in semi-private dining spaces, so we could eat at our own pace. The portions were satisfying even for a man, and everything was delicious! It had a homey feel, and all of the staff provided great service. Thank you as well for giving my girlfriend a small gift when we were leaving! We’d love to come back in winter for crab!

First stay. Everything was average, neither good nor bad. I used the onsen late at night and early in the morning, and it was empty, so I had it all to myself. The water temperature was perfect, and I was very satisfied. It was disappointing that there was no shop and the selection of souvenirs was limited.

After about a 1.5-hour drive from the interchange, passing through Shiobara Onsen, you arrive at a quiet mountain Accommodation. The Room with an open-air bath features a 65-inch BRAVIA TV, Hida furniture, a Simmons bed, Dyson and T-fal appliances, and other top-class furnishings; the hospitality is excellent as well—coffee and Dolce are provided, and the refrigerator is stocked with All-Free and Aizu specialties. (Plenty of bath towels; high-quality yukata and samue are also available.) The Onsen in the open-air bath is free-flowing; although the water is clear and colorless, it left my skin feeling wonderfully smooth. However, what was slightly disappointing was the very ordinary dinner. Despite being an Onsen in a mountain setting that takes time to reach, there were few mountain ingredients or local specialties, and it was hard to tell what this Accommodation’s signature dish was (I assume Fukushima beef is the main). For this season especially, having something distinctive—such as mushroom dishes like shishitake or even one item featuring Nango tomatoes—would have made a more memorable impression. With its good spring quality and environment, I think this Accommodation is recommended for those who want to relax and take it easy.

I stayed during the late-snow season. I had visited once a long time ago, and this time I stayed for one night to relax and spend some quiet time in Ohara. Perhaps because of the season, I had the Onsen all to myself both morning and evening. The meals were Japanese-style, just how I like them: chicken hot pot for dinner, and simmered fish for breakfast with plenty of rice accompaniments. The chicken hot pot was delicious, and comparing different miso flavors made the rice go down even easier. The table layout was calm and comfortable, set so you can look out at the garden without feeling other guests’ eyes on you. Thanks to the kind advice from the young proprietress, I visited a temple she recommended the next day. There is quite a bit of self-service in the Room, but it didn’t bother me. The Accommodation also felt like great value, and I’d love to return every year around this time.

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.

Although there is only one type of spring source—our favorite sulfur Onsen—we enjoyed how the water color differed between the indoor bath and the open-air bath. The open-air bath also offered beautiful fresh green maple leaves, and we would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season. The meals were a satisfying amount for enjoying drinks, with seasonal items as well. The asparagus tempura in particular was outstanding. The building is old, but the Room had been renovated and was clean. From the Room, we enjoyed the garden flowers and fresh greenery.
