I have been longing for the autumn leaves of Lake Chuzenji (Chūzenji) for 10 years. Moreover, that time is my birthday! But it's so hard to get a reservation. This time, when I happened to check, it was available!? Surely there was a last-minute cancellation. I hurriedly made a reservation. All the staff at the property were smiling and cheerful, with excellent hospitality. The futon was so fluffy, I couldn't help but dive in! The bath was amazing, and the food was excellent. I was surprised at how delicious the Nikko pork was. I thought Tokyo X was supreme, but this was great too! As soon as I got home, I made a soy milk hot pot with Tokyo X. It was so delicious! The recommended sake was also very tasty, and even my wife, who doesn't usually drink sake, gulped it down. Breakfast refills were free, and I ended up having three bowls. I woke up early to take a bath, photographed the full bloom of autumn leaves while basking in the morning sun, and took another bath until just before checkout... I think I went in about five times in total? The water was truly wonderful, and I could stay in it forever. It seems to have become very popular after being featured on TV. I was really happy to be able to stay. Thank you very much.

I stayed using the Backpacker Plan. The Room had a refrigerator and an electric kettle, making it very comfortable! The toilet was shared, but it was thoroughly cleaned and very tidy. During the Obon holiday period, when Accommodation rates were high everywhere, it was great to stay at such an affordable price. I would love to stay again if I have the opportunity!

I absolutely adored the owner—I was completely smitten. They prepared everything for us, from the BBQ setup to a Goemon-style bath and even a mochi-pounding experience, and we had an amazing time! With board games inside and unique Rooms, this Accommodation offers more than you can enjoy in just one day. We’ll be back.

This time, I stayed with a friend. Due to the earthquake, there were fewer tourists, so the Onsen town felt a bit quiet, but the Accommodation had a warm, homey atmosphere and the staff were kind, making it very comfortable to stay. The meal was my first irori kaiseki dinner; it was delicious and very filling. However, during our Onsen-hopping, several places were closed, which was the only disappointment.

Located in a quiet and scenic area slightly away from the Onsen town, the building is old but well-maintained and clean. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious and satisfying. The bath is very warming, and I could feel positive effects on my body. Although bathing is available only until 8 AM, I had no complaints. The 10-tatami Room comes with a toilet, allowing for a relaxing stay with check-in at 1 PM. I would love to visit again.

We stayed here after visiting Togakushi Shrine. With only 12 Rooms, we were able to use the bath with hardly anyone else around. The open-air bath was pleasantly warm, so we could soak slowly and relax—it felt wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The rice in particular was outstanding—soft, slightly sticky, and naturally sweet—and we enjoyed it until we were completely full.

It was a quiet, standalone Accommodation. All the staff were pleasant, and the food was very delicious. I also liked that they used Okura China coffee cups (perhaps because there is an Okura outlet in Karuizawa). The Room consisted of two rooms—a bedroom and a Japanese-style room—unified in beige tones, giving a neat and clean impression. There were two open-air baths, which seemed like they may have originally been private open-air baths for guest rooms. They were hinoki-wood baths with plenty of hot water. However, it seemed I was the first to use them that day, so the water was extremely hot and I couldn’t soak for long. The large public bath was also free-flowing from the source and had a more comfortable temperature than the open-air baths. Dinner was Western-style. Everything was delicious, including the seaweed salad, assorted terrines, grilled char (meunière), and roast beef. Breakfast was Japanese-style. Overall it’s a good Hotel, but perhaps due to the location there were many stink bugs. There were about 10 dead ones on the window frame in my Room, and I felt they probably weren’t from that day. Also, I noticed some staining on the washbasin. If these two points are improved, I think it would be an even better Hotel. Overall, it’s a Hotel I would like to visit again.

We stayed as four adults while returning home with my mother, who uses a wheelchair. We made a Reservation for a kaiseki course in a special Room with an Onsen. From check-in to check-out, the staff were outstanding. Not only did we have no complaints, we were able to relax in complete comfort. The Onsen had both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and following the sommelier’s recommended way of bathing left our skin silky smooth. At dinner, we enjoyed sake as well as beer. When we couldn’t decide what to choose, a staff member knowledgeable about sake came over and carefully explained each label, helping us find recommendations that matched our preferences. The Room was spacious and spotless. The amenities were excellent, and our whole family was very satisfied. My mother had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage two years ago, so I was worried about how much she would be able to enjoy the stay due to aftereffects. However, she said the food was delicious and ate happily. The in-room Onsen—fed by the same water as the large public bath—was also wonderful for her with family support, and she was very pleased. She bathed twice: at night and in the morning. It certainly wasn’t cheap, but it was an experience that exceeded its price in satisfaction.

We stayed at your Accommodation again for my daughter’s birthday trip. Due to record-breaking heavy snowfall, transportation was almost paralyzed, and we arrived after a long drive. Although I called in advance, I was a little worried we might be causing trouble upon arrival, but the front desk staff were consistently courteous and welcomed us warmly, and we were able to check in smoothly. The Room was clean and warm again, and we were able to stay comfortably just as before. Thinking about housekeeping, we avoided eating in the Room this time, but after returning home I slightly regretted it, thinking we should have enjoyed a meal in that atmosphere. I wanted my wife to relax during the trip as well, but she always works hard enough as it is… (and I can’t cook at all—haha). We look forward to staying again next time.

The wood-burning stove was a real winter highlight. With the seasonal snowfall, we were able to enjoy a truly magical atmosphere. The BBQ gazebo was very cold, but it was spacious and had sunken seating like a kotatsu, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable, and it was nice to have a side table next to it. I gave the bath 4 stars because it felt a bit small—though that’s probably because I’m big; I think it would be fine for women and children. Also, on the last morning (maybe due to freezing), there was no hot water. Since I take a quick shower in the morning as well as at night, that part was a little disappointing. As for the Facility rating of 4 stars, I think it can’t really be helped: the firewood for the stove was quite thin, so we had to add logs frequently or it seemed like it might go out. Also, one of the gazebo cushions was thin (my hips started to hurt), while another one was large and thick—I wish they were both the same size. That said, everything else—the view, atmosphere, wood-burning stove, BBQ gazebo, and bedroom-was excellent. I’d love to visit again. Thank you!

It looked just like the photos, but seeing it in person, the Room exceeded my expectations, and the IKEA-furnished interior was wonderful!! I also loved that the indoor bath was hotter while the open-air bath was cooler—the open-air bath felt so relaxing, as if it blended into nature. It was such a comfortable stay from start to finish that one night felt like a waste!! Next time I come to Kumamoto, I’d love to stay in this Room for two nights or more!! Thank you very much for such a lovely Accommodation!!

We stayed here because each Room has a free-flowing Onsen bath. Our Room was a Standard Twin, but it was spacious enough for the two of us to relax comfortably. The bathtub was also large enough for two, so we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen. Dinner was an additional charge, but we enjoyed very delicious Hida beef. Some staff spoke only basic Japanese, but there were no issues with the service and it felt refreshingly different. We would like to stay again.

Thank you for letting me use part of the garage space as a parking area after I informed you I would be arriving by motorcycle. The next morning, I departed in light rain, but I appreciated being able to prepare at a relaxed pace. The large public bath was well stocked with amenities, and the open-air-style bath was very comfortable. For dinner, I chose the slightly more luxurious option with steak, and it was so good that I ended up finishing everything before I knew it, even while enjoying drinks. When I requested alcohol to enjoy in my Room, you thoughtfully provided it at just the right chilled temperature. Although there seemed to be several group guests as well, it was quiet and relaxing throughout my stay. This Accommodation truly showed considerate attention to detail in many ways.

We stayed two days after the memorable grand opening. The Facility, amenities, and meals were all of excellent quality, and we were very satisfied. As it was right after opening, there were a few moments when the staff seemed slightly inexperienced, but we received heartfelt hospitality that more than made up for it, and it became a wonderful memory for our whole family.

The cheerful greetings from the Accommodation staff made for a wonderfully pleasant welcome. The biggest highlight was the two types of free-flowing open-air Onsen baths! By alternating between the deep low-temperature and high-temperature baths, even I—who tends to overheat easily—was able to soak for a long time and fully enjoy the Onsen. I highly recommend trying it. It would be even better if there were welcome drinks or coffee available. Just as the Accommodation name suggests, there was a lucky bell on the chopstick sleeve—a thoughtful touch that made me happy.

There were so many places I wanted to explore, and since this Accommodation near Lake Towada looked like it had delicious meals, I made a Reservation.^^ Every staff member was warm and welcoming, and I had a very comfortable stay. The food was outstanding—just as the Reviews said! I regret eating ramen at a weird time... The portions are very generous, so I recommend arriving really hungry (;_;) I was also lucky to be able to use the bath privately—it was spacious and relaxing. If I have the chance to visit Aomori again, I’d love to stay here again. Thank you very much!

This is a secluded riverside Accommodation deep in the mountains, with the soothing sound of the river. Dinner was delicious. It was my first time trying basashi (horse sashimi), and it was tender and very tasty. Every dish was carefully prepared, and my spouse and I kept saying, “This is so good,” as we ate. The bath was wonderful—I went in three times. In the early morning, we visited Hagoromo Falls near the Accommodation. The waterfall twists into multiple layers like draped feather robes, and it’s truly impressive. You’ll climb uphill for about 10 minutes at first, but after that it becomes flat. I highly recommend going.

The Italian cuisine is outstanding. The views are flawless. The staff’s hospitality is excellent. The only area for improvement is the lighting from the restaurant to the room at night.

We were blessed with great weather, and the view from our Room and the starry night sky were truly wonderful. The Onsen was also a sulfur-rich milky hot spring that we love, incredibly relaxing, and made for a very luxurious stay. Every dish was a carefully crafted creative kaiseki meal prepared for us, and it was delicious. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.
