Conveniently located near Susukino Station with excellent access, and right next to Tanukikoji Shopping Street, which features restaurants, drugstores, and many convenience stores. During my 2-night stay, I enjoyed the Onsen with an open-air bath that helped relax my tired feet and body after walking around. I also requested an in-room massage, and they were very flexible with the schedule and menu options—it was truly rejuvenating. I would love to stay here again!

I stayed in the Moon Room on a solo trip. Due to various circumstances, I made a Reservation after 5:00 PM on the day of arrival, and with the same-day discount it was a great deal. Since my expected arrival time was set for 10:00 PM, the Accommodation contacted me, and their warm and kind response raised my expectations. I arrived just before the welcome drink service ended. Soaking in the iconic footbath, I enjoyed sparkling wine poured generously. The Room was more than spacious enough for one person, and although I initially thought the Onsen on the terrace might be small from the photos, it was also plenty for one. It’s a circulated bath from Kiga Onsen, but for someone like me who prefers hotter water, it was just right—and it warmed me up so much that I started sweating. The door from the Room to the terrace is accordion-style, so after daybreak I left it fully open all morning—it felt wonderful. The open-air bath at the large public bath uses free-flowing spring water from Owakudani. As someone who likes Kusatsu and Manza, I felt the sulfur scent was mild, but I still really enjoyed the milky-white water. However, it was unpleasant to have long hairs and fallen leaves cling to my body. In addition to the powder corner in the large public bath area, there is also a separate powder room with a ReFa hair dryer, a Panasonic hair iron, and a Panasonic facial steamer. Since I had been considering buying them anyway, it was great to be able to try them out. (For reference, the hair dryers in the large public bath were Dyson.) There were many negative Reviews online so I felt nervous until actually staying here, but it turned out to be a very satisfying stay. I’m also interested in one of their higher-category detached Rooms (annex), so I’d love to visit again.

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.

I made an Accommodation Reservation to visit the permanent exhibitions of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale. I chose this place because I thought it would surely be fully booked around the time of next year’s event, and I wanted to stay here before then. On the way there, I used the Shuttle Service bus. Since it’s quite a distance from the station to the Accommodation, using it was definitely the right choice. After arriving, I was able to relax with a welcome drink and sweets while enjoying the view outside, and spent a very peaceful time. The bath is small, but soaking while watching the sky darken and looking out over the forest was wonderful. Dinner featured shabu-shabu as the main dish. The rice was delicious in a way that really reminded me this is Niigata, and there was also a great selection of sake and wine. I enjoyed my meal while taking in the slowly fading scenery. It seemed like all of the other guests staying there looked happy as well. The items provided in my Room were minimal—nothing unnecessary—and I actually appreciated that. (I forgot to bring makeup remover, but they had Sekkisei amenities, which really helped! I use it regularly too, so that made me even happier.) One request: I would have liked a small step stool near the washer & dryer area. Since I’m not very tall, I couldn’t reach far enough into the dryer. Breakfast looked and tasted exactly like what you’d call “a Japanese breakfast,” and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

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!

Everyone on the staff, including the front desk team and the attendants, was kind and welcoming. My husband especially remembers being spoken to in the lobby. There were so many things we liked. The Onsen had excellent non-slip measures in place, so we could enjoy the baths safely. For karaoke, our name was posted, so we didn’t have to worry about other guests peeking in. It was also convenient that all the Facilities we wanted to use were grouped together on the second floor, making it easy to get around. There’s too much to list here, but we would love to visit again.

I always stay at Itoen Hotel when I travel. The Room was spacious, a blend of Japanese and Western style, and very clean. Since the Hotel isn’t very large, it was easy to get around with short walks to the dining area and the large public bath. The all-you-can-drink buffet at this price was very satisfying—there were two types of sake and three types of shochu, which was perfect for alcohol lovers. The large public bath was spacious and relaxing. As always, it was an Accommodation with excellent value that never disappoints. Thank you very much.

As last year, I stayed at Sekisuitei with a friend. My friend, who lives outside Hokkaido, stayed here last year and it seems to have become a favorite Hotel. They especially liked that the dinner buffet includes Jingisukan, and that while the Onsen isn’t particularly large, it has an open-air bath and several different baths. (Each one is set to a different temperature.) At the Hotel, we enjoyed soaking in the Onsen many times. From our Room, we could hear the sound of a nearby river (or maybe a small stream), which was very relaxing. We used the Shuttle Service bus, and thanks to the driver’s polite service and careful driving, we felt safe throughout. If possible, I would like the Sapporo departure time to be 1:00 PM. With a 2:00 PM departure, arrival at the Hotel is around 4:00 PM, and by the time you get into your Room and settle in, it’s already about 5:00 PM. It’s disappointing not being able to do any sightseeing around Noboribetsu town.

This time, as a repeat guest, I brought my son along to match his visit home. At the same price, we chose the early-booking perk and upgraded to a sashimi upgrade Plan. That choice was absolutely right—the sweet shrimp and whelk were simply delicious!! The other dishes were also perfectly seasoned, and the portions weren’t too large, so we could finish everything. Each dish was carefully prepared, and we were very satisfied. Breakfast was great too—the hearth-cooked rice timed to our meal was delicious. My husband prefers firmer rice, so it seemed a bit soft for him. I’d love to visit again just for the food.

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.

In conclusion, the value for the price was outstanding. The Room was clean and spacious, and we also appreciated the table and chairs on the balcony. We were amazed by the Onsen water quality. We never expected such a strong sulfur scent from an Onsen in this area! The private open-air bath in the Room had a ceramic tub, and it was wonderful to soak comfortably with our legs stretched out. It was so good that we used it many times! We felt the upper slat of the privacy screen could be removed without any issue. It would make a big difference in how open it feels. The food also surprised us. Since we chose a standard Plan, we honestly didn’t expect that much, but there were many local ingredients and thoughtful touches—and above all, everything was seasoned beautifully and tasted excellent. We felt the head chef must be truly exceptional. We’re very interested in the chef’s choice course! All of the staff were kind as well. It was so great that we went ahead and made another Reservation for one month later.

I had always wanted to visit Himi, but I struggled to find the perfect accommodation that matched my ideal. After extensive research, I discovered this wonderful accommodation. This small luxury retreat accommodates only two groups per day, but on the day of our stay, we were fortunate to have it all to ourselves. It felt like having a private villa—a truly luxurious experience. The meals exceeded all expectations. The creative dishes featuring Toyama's seafood were absolutely exquisite. What elevated this culinary experience even further was the sake pairing selected by the proprietress, who is a certified sake sommelier. Each pairing perfectly complemented each dish and brought out the full flavors of Toyama's seafood. Conversations with all the staff were also incredibly enjoyable. This is an accommodation that makes you want to return again and again. Wishing you continued success in your endeavors! Thank you very much!

Although the Facility feels a bit old, the Room was clean and comfortable. This time, we mainly used it for the baths. We would like to stay again.

Just as the title says! It was great to be able to watch the Lake Toya fireworks right in front of us! Our kids also enjoyed the bingo game! This Hotel was the best part of our trip to Hokkaido! We’d definitely love to stay again!

Our three-generation family had a wonderful time together. The kids really enjoyed the pool, fireworks, and the arcade. The newly renovated Onsen was also beautiful and brought back nostalgic memories from my own childhood.

I was satisfied with everything—the facilities, the Room, and the bath. The food tasted average, but there was a wide variety of dishes, and I was able to enjoy my meal at a relaxed pace.

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.

My spouse and I stayed here with our parents, booking two separate buildings. After reading Reviews saying things like “the meals aren’t great for the price,” we honestly didn’t expect much—but there were no issues at all. The portions were more than enough (and you can order extra if needed), everything was delicious, and we had nothing to complain about. Of course, the bath was amazing. Unfortunately, we happened to be there during a typhoon and couldn’t see the stars at night, so we will definitely return—next time, I’d love to soak in the bath while looking up at a sky full of stars. One point: there was a mismatch between the breakfast time we thought we had communicated and the time the Accommodation had on record (it was later), which affected our morning departure time and plans afterward. To avoid any misunderstandings about who said what, it would be helpful if you could leave a written note confirming the requested times for dinner and breakfast.

I’ve stayed here many times, and I’m always very satisfied. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. However, this time there was one thing: the open-air bath was too hot, so I couldn’t relax and enjoy it. I’ll be back again.

The Facility and amenities are a bit dated, but the Room was thoroughly cleaned. The staff at the shop and during meals were very helpful. The large public bath was also spacious and clean. For this price with two meals included, it’s a great value.
