We stayed here as a couple in our early 50s. The Accommodation was spotless down to every corner, and we had a very comfortable stay. [Room & Bath] The Room with an open-air bath had truly breathtaking views, and we enjoyed the bath three times—after arrival, before bed, and again the next morning. The water temperature was a little on the lukewarm side, so it sometimes felt slightly chilly if we stayed in for a long time, but it was still very relaxing. We also appreciated the spacious wash area with a large mirror, which made getting ready in the morning very easy. [Dining] For dinner, we had the “HAKKO Yaki-Shabu Course.” The main yaki-shabu was exquisite—the meat practically melted in our mouths! The shiitake mushrooms and fried potatoes were also delicious, with carefully crafted flavors you wouldn’t normally get at home. We were fully satisfied all the way through to the ochazuke to finish and dessert. For breakfast, we enjoyed the “Onigiri Bento” while taking in the wonderful view. The portion size was slightly modest, but it was just right for us as a couple. The piping hot roasted green tea was rich and very tasty. We were also delighted by thoughtful touches such as complimentary mineral water—this is a wonderful Accommodation where we would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

Located just across the road from Shirahama Beach at Lake Tazawa, we enjoyed great views from the Room and lobby and were able to relax and take in the scenery. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The tableware was also beautifully presented, making it a pleasure for the eyes as well. The Onsen was not too hot, so we could soak at a leisurely pace and feel refreshed.

Outstanding hospitality—this is a wonderful Hotel! When my elderly father choked on a piece of steak at the restaurant, the staff rushed over immediately and supported me as I helped him, and thankfully he was fine. To the staff member who ran to us in that critical moment, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude once again. And the food is incredibly delicious! Each dish is rich in flavor and makes the most of the ingredients. Even my father, who had choked, finished all of his remaining meat, and our whole family enjoyed the desserts as well—everyone agreed they were delicious. I often hesitate to travel with my elderly parents who require nursing care certification, but we were able to stay together in one Room for four people, and this Hotel made me want to bring my parents again. We will visit again when we have the chance. Thank you very much.

The friendly staff who chatted with us left a strong impression. There were plenty of chairs in the lobby, so we had no trouble even at checkout. The dishes were served at just the right times, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The Room was also a comfortable size. It was an ideal walking distance to Yubatake, and it wasn’t overly crowded, so we were able to relax and enjoy our stay.

It felt like an extraordinary Hotel experience, as if we were traveling abroad. Both the Japanese staff and the fun international staff provided wonderfully pleasant service, making our stay even more enjoyable. At dinner, they introduced the menu, and our middle- and high-school-aged children were able to enjoy the meal while chatting. At breakfast, we could also see beautiful Mt. Yotei. The fresh sashimi and Hokkaido vegetables in particular were truly delicious. The Room was spacious, with an island kitchen that felt like something overseas. There was a separate bath and shower Room, two toilets, and TVs in each Room. The private bath was a big hit with our teenage daughter as well. As a mother, I was especially grateful for the washing machine in the Room—it really helped to be able to wash clothes that got wet during river rafting in Niseko! Just a short walk away is Tokyu Grand Hirafu’s activity Facility, where our whole family enjoyed pickleball from the morning. There are also photo spots, so we could make good use of even the small amount of time before check-in or after check-out without wasting it—and capture great memories too! It was such a wonderful Hotel that made us think, “We want to come back!”

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.

I recently stayed at Hotel Foresta Chokai. Above all, the staff were incredibly kind, and I had a very comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, they took great care of me, and it’s the kind of wonderful hotel that makes you think, “I want to stay here again.” The room was comfortable, and the setting—surrounded by nature with views that let you truly feel Mt. Chokai—was fantastic. The famous Hottai Falls is also nearby and easy to reach by car, so it’s a great place to enjoy sightseeing along with your stay. And most of all, the hot springs were amazing! The open-air bath was especially relaxing, and I was happy to hear that guests can use the private family bath free of charge as well. I enjoyed the hot springs at night, and by chance it was quiet during the first-bath hours in the morning too, so I went again. Being able to enjoy them both at night and in the morning made me feel like I got an extra-special experience. This is a warm and welcoming hotel where you can relax in beautiful natural surroundings, enjoy excellent hot springs, and be treated kindly by everyone on staff. I really loved my stay this time and would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

We stayed as a couple. To be honest, we chose this Accommodation because of the low price, but the Room was spacious, the bedding was clean, and we were able to relax comfortably. There were guests in the next Room, and there were times when construction was going on outside, but it didn’t bother us at all—perhaps because the soundproofing is solid. The toilet in the Room does not have a bidet seat, but it seems the shared toilets on the floor are equipped with one. The bath in a separate building had pleasantly silky water, and the washing area was spacious and comfortable. The open-air bath is very close to trees and has quite an atmospheric feel, so we recommend using it in the morning. Also, please be careful as the walkway can be slippery on rainy days. Next time, we would like to use the private bath as well.

We spent Silver Week as a couple with our dog. Since it was a private cottage rental, we could relax without worrying about others, and our dog had a great time running around in the dog run. The pet amenities were well provided, and we were able to fully enjoy the Nasu Highlands. Although the typhoon limited where we could go, it was still a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again if we have another opportunity.

I stayed with my husband and 4-year-old son as a family of three in August. The exterior feels a bit old, but the room and the hotel were clean, and the food, service, and onsen were excellent. We had a very comfortable stay with our son. This is definitely a hotel we want to stay at again!

As we expected to arrive later than planned, we called in advance to discuss dinner arrangements. Despite the short notice, they kindly arranged an outdoor barbecue for us, which was a huge help. The barbecue was excellent—especially the thick-cut meat and sausages. There is also a dog run, and the Onsen Facility you drive to is spacious and very clean. The dining hall is also reached by car. The meals were Western-style like at a Hotel and were delicious. The grounds are wide, lush with greenery, and open, so we could relax at ease. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

The open-air bath at 6:00 a.m. was amazing. The clear weather was wonderful too. Being wrapped in morning mist—like bathing in the clouds—was also incredible. We’ll definitely be back.

The open-air bath, large public bath, and sauna were all wonderful… Even though the meals were buffet-style, we could eat without it feeling crowded, and of course the taste was excellent… The all-you-can-drink option was also excellent in both variety and quality… The twin beds were spacious, and the Room size was more than satisfactory… Above all, the waterfall-view lounge… It had a different charm during the day and at night, and I lost track of time just gazing out with a cup of coffee in hand! I wonder if the scenery is completely different during the autumn foliage season? Someday in autumn… it became an Accommodation I’d love to visit again!

We were completely satisfied with everything—the Room, the meals, and the Onsen! We truly appreciated all the accommodations made for my nephew’s allergies. The kids also found lots of stag beetles and made wonderful summer vacation memories. It looks like this will become an annual tradition.

This was my fifth stay, and I visited for three consecutive months. I love the beautiful presentation, delicious food, and the open-air bath. The Room is spacious and wonderful as well. The owner is very kind, making this an Accommodation I definitely want to return to.

We stayed as a group. The banquet hall and meals were delicious, and the Onsen was relaxing—overall a comfortable Accommodation. Surrounded by greenery in a quiet setting, we would like to stay here again when visiting Nikko.

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.

I traveled by train, and the walk from the station was not far, so I was able to get there without any trouble. The staff were kind after I arrived at the Hotel, and they even spoke to me at the shoe storage area, which was very helpful. They clearly explained everything about staying in the Accommodation and about meals as well, which made it easy to understand. The meals exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

For dinner, we chose the Chinese made-to-order buffet, and every dish was delicious.

I stayed here with two friends from out of town. I’ve stayed at various Hotels in Akiu Onsen, but Hana no Yu’s buffet was outstanding! You can make your own drinks, and there was a wide variety of delicious dishes from appetizers to desserts. The Room was very clean and I was very satisfied. There are three Onsen baths, so we were able to fully enjoy them. I’d love to visit again.
