The service was attentive, and the breakfast buffet was delicious and very satisfying. The bed was also very comfortable. The hotel uses ultra-soft water, which was excellent. The post-bath amenities were also a nice touch.

With work every day, I rarely get the chance to travel from Kansai to Tohoku. However, this is a famous long-established Accommodation that I had always wanted to visit someday, and this time I finally made it happen. As expected, it was wonderful. The vast, beautifully maintained garden, delicious meals, and the well-trained staff who welcomed us so pleasantly made it truly relaxing. Thanks to tips from the staff, we also visited Higashine City and Tendo City the next day and enjoyed lots of great local food. I also accidentally left my electric toothbrush behind, and I really appreciate how quickly you handled it. This is another Accommodation I would definitely love to return to.

They provided clear, courteous explanations via LINE even before our stay, which made everything easy to understand. During the stay, they also sent updates via LINE, so we had nothing to worry about. When we entered the Room, it was clean and smelled wonderful. The tableware and cooking utensils were well stocked, so we had no inconvenience. There were only a few amenities, but since preferences vary, it didn’t bother us. There is no TV, but we watched movies on the projector—it felt luxurious on a big screen. We stayed mainly for the sauna, and it was piping hot—very satisfying. It would have been even better with a cold plunge bath and relaxation chairs. You can see the Mogami River from the Room and the bath—it’s very soothing. It was an excellent sauna trip overall.

I stayed at Dormy Inn Aomori on a solo trip. I often use a Business Hotel when traveling alone, but this Hotel was far too wonderful to be called just a Business Hotel. First, the breakfast: a buffet with many local dishes—I ended up eating more than I should in the morning. Next, the baths: the water was very pleasant, and there is also an open-air bath and a sauna. I was disappointed to see a foreign parent and child soaking and throwing towels in the tub, but aside from that I could relax at ease. It was also fun to enjoy the complimentary ice cream while looking at the night view after bathing, and the late-night soba service was great as well. With smaller noodles and a light broth, even an elderly woman like me could enjoy it. It’s about a 7-minute walk from Aomori Station. The route is straight so it’s easy not to get lost, and it was convenient that there is an airport bus stop right in front of the Hotel. The male front desk staff were also very kind. Overall I was extremely satisfied except for a faint smell of cigarette smoke in my Room. I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

We were very satisfied with the excellent service, cuisine, and Facilities.

This is my favorite Accommodation. It had been far too long since my last visit, but it’s still just as wonderful. The food was exceptional as well. I’ll come back again in a different season. The sake tasting set, matsutake mushroom hot pot soup, imoni (taro stew), udon, and hassun platter were all outstanding.

This was my first stay here with my son’s family of five. The Room felt very spacious, with high ceilings and plenty of room, so my grandchildren were thrilled and ran around happily. The small space on the second floor also had a wonderful view of Mt. Asama right in front of us, and it was truly relaxing to enjoy a drink while playing my favorite Western music. My grandchildren can be quite sensitive, so we choose our overnight stays very carefully, but this time they liked it so much that they asked me, “When are we coming again?” I’d love to return again soon. The staff were kind and efficient in preparing everything for us, and their attentive service made our stay very comfortable. It was truly a wonderful night. Thank you very much.

We stayed at Chalet Ivy Jozankei for our honeymoon. When we arrived, we were a little surprised by the steep downhill slope, but a staff member quickly came over and helped carry our luggage, which was a huge help. The mango tea served at check-in was delicious, and we felt warmly welcomed. All of the staff were kind and attentive, and together with the calm atmosphere throughout the Hotel, it made for a truly relaxing stay both physically and mentally. The lounge had a wonderful view, and since it was relatively quiet, we were able to enjoy window seats many times. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent and very satisfying. We used the bath in our Room about four or five times, and the public bath was often quiet as well, so we could take our time enjoying a relaxing soak on our own. Even after check-out, they drove us to the bus stop, and we were impressed by their thoughtful service down to every detail. Thanks to the heartfelt hospitality of the staff and the comfortable Facility environment, it was an exceptionally fulfilling stay. We would love to stay again.

I stayed here again for the first time in five years. The food and service felt much improved, which was a pleasant surprise. For example, the rice at breakfast was excellent—among the best I’ve had in Yamagata. I also enjoyed chatting with the staff and had a great time. I’d like to visit again soon.

I came here to relax. I love camping too, but I really wanted to unwind, and I’d been wanting to visit because it seemed like I could enjoy both—so we stayed in Snow Peak’s JYUBAKO. It was so wonderful that I want to make it a must-do once a year. My husband was very satisfied as well, and we definitely want to come back. Dinner was great, of course, and breakfast was also delicious—we were full and completely satisfied. Thank you for a wonderful time.

This was my first stay at Dai-ichi Takimotokan in four years. Compared with my previous visit, the quality of the dinner buffet felt improved. I was especially happy that salmon roe was now all-you-can-eat (it used to be served pre-portioned on small plates). Everything else was delicious as well, and for consecutive-night stays there is also a service where you can choose one additional option from four menus, which I appreciated. As expected, the large public hot spring bath is truly impressive. In my experience, there are only a handful of bathhouses in Japan as large as Dai-ichi Takimotokan’s. You can enjoy five different types of hot spring water and multiple baths, and even when it’s busy it doesn’t feel crowded. I want to keep staying at Dai-ichi Takimotokan for its hot springs and outstanding grand bath. I also learned that the “Daikane-bo Karakuri Clock” seems to have stopped operating in 2023, which felt a little sad since I remembered it from before.

This was our second stay. Our whole family loved it last time, so we made a Reservation again without hesitation. The dining here is outstanding—although it’s a buffet, everything looked so good that we wanted to try it all, and every dish was delicious. The Room and the baths were also great, and the nighttime fireworks were beautiful and truly impressive. We’d love to stay again!

The food was delicious and wonderfully unique! Clear soup with junsai and clams (in addition to a hearty miso soup!), plus plenty of seasonal fruit (Shine Muscat grapes, red and green-fleshed melon), Matsumoto watermelon, and more. Everything felt more thoughtfully prepared than what I’ve had elsewhere, and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Their natural and thoughtful service was truly wonderful. They even upgraded our room, and its excellence brought so much joy to our child. The bath was amazing as well; enjoying an open-air bath while admiring the snowy scenery was incredibly relaxing. The meals were also very

I visited Izushi to pay my respects at a family grave, and stayed at Nishimuraya Shogetsutei in Kinosaki Onsen for the first time in a while. The room was spacious. At Kinosaki Onsen Station, there is a place at the tourist information center where they can store your luggage and deliver it directly to the hotel, so I was able to travel light—going to Toyooka and then on to Izushi. The hotel’s baths were also large, and I could relax. I also enjoyed visiting the public bathhouses; although it’s a bit far from the station, I appreciated that there is a shuttle bus. Dinner was delicious. Breakfast was a buffet, but this time I kept it light. There was a good variety of options. Next time, I’d like to come for crab. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Our family of three stayed here. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and attentive service, so we felt completely at ease. The Room was a spacious Junior Suite with excellent amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable—our best Hotel stay ever. For dinner, we enjoyed a Japanese course meal. Early the next morning, we were also able to see a sea of clouds, making it an unforgettable experience. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much!

It’s convenient to reach by rental car from Shonai Airport, and the ocean is right in front of you, so the views are wonderful. I’ve stayed several times in a Room with a semi-open-air bath and have been very satisfied. The spacious Room also has a washing machine, which is very convenient. The meals feature many premium ingredients, and overall satisfaction is extremely high.

I was impressed by the hospitality, the in-house services, the meals, and the breathtaking scenery that looked like a painting wherever I looked. I’m truly glad I chose this Hotel for my first stay in Hakuba. Next time, I’d love to visit this Hotel again during the autumn foliage season.

I came here with a friend to relax and unwind in the natural hot spring water. This time we chose a more budget-friendly stay, so we skipped dinner. The Facility has a traditional Japanese design with great atmosphere, and it was truly calming. The hallways are covered with tatami mats, so it felt nice to walk around barefoot. The bath was incredibly relaxing—excellent. I was also able to fully unwind in the lobby. The onsen eggs were delicious, and breakfast was great as well. The Room had beds, so I could relax comfortably. One thing I didn’t expect was how few places there are to eat around the Accommodation. Many restaurants were closed on their regular days off, so finding somewhere for dinner took some effort. Also, when I misplaced something, their courteous support really helped. Every staff member greeted us with a smile and spoke politely—perfect service overall. Highly recommended.

It was really great!
