It was a wonderful space. I’ve also uploaded photos, so I hope you’ll take a look. I was amazed at how beautifully this place has been designed—what could otherwise feel a bit small is made to feel so special. My wife, our 3-year-old child, and I stayed here and were very satisfied! The room was very clean, and our child was thrilled, saying, “The top bunk is my spot!” The sink area and bath were comfortable with everything we needed, and the TENTIAL sandals were also very comfortable to wear. I think this place will change people’s image of a “garage house hotel.” One thing I hope will improve going forward is the food. Dinner looked great—the plating and tableware were beautiful and enjoyable visually. On the other hand, the overall flavor felt like it could use one more step up. In particular, while the venison main dish was prepared in a very approachable way, those who love game meat might find it a little lacking. I was also personally disappointed that there wasn’t a glass red wine option to pair with the venison main. That said, since it was such an easy-to-eat dish, perhaps the by-the-glass selection was chosen intentionally to match that style. And breakfast— this is something I really hope you improve. The rice had dried out and become hard, which honestly made me sad. Personally, I feel breakfast can greatly change the overall impression of a Hotel stay. Because this Facility is so wonderful otherwise, I strongly felt you should put more effort into breakfast. Also, while the female staff member in charge of dinner came across as highly professional, at breakfast it felt like operations still weren’t running smoothly. In the end, after-meal drinks took quite a while to arrive and we had to wait. The families on both sides of us seemed to be in the same situation as well, so I hope this will be improved going forward. I’ve written various things about the meals but—above all—this place itself is truly lovely. I think it’s definitely worth staying at this Hotel. There was also a small issue during our stay this time; however, your response was very smooth and pleasant. Including how you handled an irregular situation like that, my personal evaluation is very high. As an aside: when my child and I woke up early for a walk in the morning—we actually found a stag beetle! My child was overjoyed as well; including that experience too, it became a wonderful memory.

We had a spacious and comfortable stay as a couple. The baths were on a rotation system, allowing us to enjoy both types. The hot and lukewarm water options were thoughtful. It was disappointing that the evening bonfire we saw on the elevator poster was only available on Fridays and Saturdays. Unlike large hotels where you often face long buffet lines or wait for shower spaces in the bath area, this mid-sized Hotel felt just right. Being close to Shirahige Falls made for a lovely evening stroll. The shuttle service to Blue Pond seemed seasonal, but it would be great if there was an option for one-way transportation at least. The best time to visit Blue Pond is reportedly around midday when parking lots are extremely crowded; having one-way transport would save guests from walking back for over an hour after their visit.

Everyone was thrilled by the building and the Facility the moment we arrived. After a while, we looked around at what was in the Room, and once we had settled in, we headed to the open-air bath. The open-air bath building also had a sauna and a water server—absolutely fantastic. If I had to say one thing, it would have been even better if there were chairs where you could sit down for a moment after bathing. We didn’t realize until late afternoon the next day that amenities such as towels must be replenished by the day before, which was hard to understand. It’s also inconvenient that everyone’s address and phone number are required for check-in.

First of all, the bath was great. Indeed, it feels a bit old, but the starry sky viewed from the spacious open-air bath was the best. The temperature is a bit low, but since the bathtub is shallow, I was able to enjoy the Onsen slowly. Dinner and breakfast were also delicious.

Everything was wonderful. What impressed me the most was the staff. They were always smiling and did their best to help, which made my stay very comfortable. The meals were delicious, but the rice at breakfast was too firm for me to eat... I think it’s just a matter of preference, but I ended up leaving some (sorry). If I have another opportunity, I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

On this occasion, we stayed here to celebrate our grandchild’s 20th birthday. The moment we opened the Room door, the two of us were amazed—it was a surprising maisonette-style Room. And then another surprise: we were astonished and truly moved by the towel art. It was a truly wonderful Room. Everything was wonderful, and the staff’s service was excellent as well. We are planning to stay again next year with our daughter and our grandchild’s family. Thank you very much.

It seemed that it was not a busy season, so our Room was upgraded. The Room had both a Japanese-style area and a bed, and there was also a kotatsu, so we were able to relax comfortably. The Onsen was excellent, with thick, mineral-rich water that made our skin smooth and warmed our bodies. It is close to the hells, and it's a Property we would like to stay at again.

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.

Specializing in No Meals Included, it might be a great option for an affordable stay at Misasa Onsen.

Set in a quiet location surrounded by a tranquil forest, it feels very relaxing. The Room has a retro vibe. The refrigerator and toilets are shared, but they are well organized and easy to use. As for Room security, the door locks with an old-style push-button knob. Please keep valuables with you. The sheets for the futon are changed daily. Everything is very clean and fluffy. The lighting feels a bit dim, so it would help if it could be brighter. The bath water is clear brown, with a relatively high pH. Leaning against the main pillar of the pyramid-shaped building (inside the bath), you might feel some kind of energy?? It’s refreshing. Both morning and evening, the bath is not crowded. I hope the 95-year-old owner is doing well. If the timing works out next year, I’d like to stay again. A hands-off Accommodation that’s just right for me.

The hot spring water quality is excellent—neither too hot nor too lukewarm. It’s a wonderful bath. While the amenities and Room facilities are somewhat basic, they were sufficient for our needs. I chose this place because of the “24-hour stay” wording, but in reality check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. I would really like to see this improved.

We enjoyed the stylish interior, elaborate dishes and tableware with a focus on broth, and the wonderful milky white Onsen. The only downside was that the phone was difficult to connect, and even when it did, it was automatically transferred to another Ryokan, so it was hard to get the information needed, and we had to hang up and wait for a callback. The website mentioned that there was a Shuttle Service to the nearest bus stop, but we were not provided with it and had to walk for 30 minutes. I understand that not having a TV in the Room might be a particular choice, but I still would like to have a TV. During the extreme Onsen tour, we were able to experience a wild and natural Onsen that is difficult to visit individually.
