I stayed one night at Sanga in Kurokawa Onsen, in the “Natsutsubaki” Room. Above all, the hospitality was outstanding, and the thoughtful attention—never intrusive—made my entire stay very comfortable. The meals were delicious and thoroughly satisfying. Although it rained during my stay, the damp weather only enhanced the Accommodation’s serene atmosphere, to the point that I felt I had actually come on a good day. The Room was kept very clean; given the natural setting, insects do appear from time to time, but I appreciated that insect repellent was properly provided. It’s an Accommodation I would love to stay at again.

We visited as three generations of our family. The children enjoyed the latter half of summer vacation with marshmallows by the campfire, badminton and fireworks in the garden, and the pool. It was also great for parents to have tasty water and coffee available self-service in the lobby. The buffet at this Accommodation was thoughtfully varied, so the children never got bored and were very satisfied. The tempura and roast beef at dinner, as well as fried bread and banana milk at breakfast, were all delicious. The staff were also very pleasant. This is an Accommodation we would like to visit again.

It was my first visit in 13-14 years. This time, it coincided with the first snowfall, but luckily the weather was clear and sunny, making for two perfect days of snowy scenery. The air was crisp, offering breathtaking views and a wonderful experience in the snow-viewing bath

I always stay for one night to refresh after traversing the Tateyama mountain range. As always, everything is flawless. It’s one of my favorite Hotels. I’ll stay again during the autumn foliage season. Thank you as always for your courteous service.

On a whim during the Obon holidays, I made a Reservation for one night starting August 15, booking on August 13. I have a shellfish allergy, and since it was such short notice I thought it might be difficult, but they replied right away, “No problem.” The Hotel does feel a bit old, but it is well kept and clean, so my stay was very comfortable. The meals were generous and delicious. Above all, what makes this Hotel special is how kind everyone is. They don’t say unnecessary things, but if you ask something they think it through as if it were their own matter and respond sincerely. It left me feeling warm inside. It really shows that you don’t need a luxury Hotel to have a great stay. I highly recommend staying here at least once.\nI do not recommend climbing the 365 steps of the Ikaho Onsen stone staircase in midsummer—I was drenched in sweat and completely out of breath.

Our family of three stayed here. The guest room with an open-air bath had an amazing view of the trees through the window. The meals were delicious, and we loved the post-bath ice pops, late-night inari sushi, morning coffee service, board games, and the excellent loan services such as a rotating hair dryer and a NanoCare hair dryer. It was relaxing and quiet, and we were able to unwind from everyday fatigue. The Onsen water was also wonderful. Highly recommended Accommodation.

I stayed in a newly renovated Room, and it was wonderful. The in-room perks were excellent. In particular, the all-you-can-eat gelato was an incredibly generous service—perfect after the Onsen—and I enjoyed trying many different flavors. Everything was delicious. The pre-dinner aperitif can be chosen from the menu, and the lounge coffee machine is truly high-quality, so I used it many times. Both the quality and quantity of the meals were very satisfying, and what impressed me most was the staff. There were many young team members, but everyone’s hospitality was outstanding. Some staff members spent a long time chatting with elderly guests because they were approached for conversation, yet they responded without showing any displeasure at all—I was genuinely impressed. You can also enjoy two different types of Onsen water, and I think this Accommodation offers excellent value for money. I will definitely return again. Thank you very much for taking such great care of me.

I was able to stay for one night after being on the waitlist. As others have written, both the Onsen and the meals were wonderful. The Room was spacious and thoughtfully prepared, and the bed was large and very comfortable, so I was able to relax and unwind at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like a Multiple Night Stay.

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.

From the moment I was picked up, the staff made a great impression, and as soon as I stepped into the Hotel, I was soothed by a wonderful aroma scent. I was shown to a private Room to check in. The Room had a simple design and was very comfortable to stay in. I also enjoyed choosing my favorite scent with the aroma diffuser in the Room. This time I joined the 1-night, 2-day fasting course. Since it wasn’t a water-only fast, I had carrot juice, homemade umeboshi (pickled plum), bancha tea, and more for dinner and again the next morning. After checkout, they treated me to rice porridge, miso soup, handmade umeboshi, hana ingen beans (runner beans), and bancha tea—everything was very satisfying. Personally, the hana ingen beans slowly simmered over two days with beet sugar were so delicious that I couldn’t help asking if they were available for purchase. After check-in, I also received a brown-rice onigiri with umeboshi, which I enjoyed on my long-distance bus ride home. There is no TV in the Room, but Wi‑Fi is available so you can use your smartphone. However, since it was such a good opportunity, I tried not to use my phone during my stay as much as possible. Time flew by as I read health magazines in the lounge with herbal tea in hand; opened the window in my guest room to read my own book while listening to birdsong; and reviewed personal finances that had been put off due to everyday busyness. From the Onsen bath area in the morning, you can see Mt. Asama—the view was truly wonderful. If there’s one thing to mention: since exercise is part of my routine personally, having showers in every Room would have made it even more comfortable by allowing me to rinse off quickly after working out. Other than that minor point, everything exceeded expectations—the staff were lovely throughout—and it was a stay I would definitely like to repeat.

The Hotel was not far from Obihiro Station, yet it was quiet and surrounded by trees. Thank you for accommodating my companion’s food allergies even though we informed you at the last minute during dinner. Thanks to you, we were able to enjoy every dish without leaving anything behind, all rich with flavorful dashi. In addition to the unique texture of the Moor Onsen, there was also an open-air bath, and I ended up soaking for a long time. The delicious meals in a calm atmosphere and the pleasant Onsen soothed our bodies after a long journey.

Lately, even the most luxurious Accommodations have felt a bit lacking, so I’m truly grateful to have found such a perfect, deeply soothing Accommodation. I don’t have the words to fully describe how wonderful it was, but I received exceptional hospitality, felt completely relaxed, and was detoxed both physically and mentally. Without a doubt, this is a top-class Accommodation. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Last year, I stayed here with my parents, who use wheelchairs, and we were truly well taken care of. I wanted to bring them to the Onsen they love while they were recuperating, and we chose this place because the Room had a bath and it was barrier-free. The Room was very relaxing, and the food was exceptional—my parents kept saying how delicious it was as they ate with such joy. Late at night, my father and I also enjoyed the ramen snack service and ice cream together. After that, my father passed away, so this year we stayed again in his memory. At dinner, you kindly prepared a set meal for him with rice and miso soup among other items. I was deeply moved by this unexpected gesture and couldn’t hold back my tears. We displayed his photo, shared memories of him, and enjoyed the meal. The Facility is wonderful, but above all else, thank you for your heartfelt hospitality. I would love to stay again!

Only 10 Rooms on a spacious property. The grove garden right in front of you is a private view (guests cannot enter), giving you the true feel of a vacation home. We were completely satisfied with everything—the Room, the semi-open-air bath in the Room, the open-air bath at the large public bath, and dinner featuring an array of premium ingredients considered luxurious in Japanese cuisine, as well as breakfast with just the right portion size. If we had to make one small request, it would be that the bath towels were a bit thicker.

Because we decided on our trip to Lake Toya at the last minute, I didn’t think we would be able to make a Reservation at a good Hotel. Since May is one of the peak seasons for travel in Japan, I wasn’t expecting much. But after staying there, the Hotel quality exceeded my expectations. I especially loved the dinner buffet. There was an incredible variety of dishes, and many were far better than I anticipated. I ate too much and ended up walking outside for hours afterward to feel better (laugh). Breakfast was more standard compared with dinner, but still very satisfying. As for the Onsen, “Hoshi no Yu” was truly outstanding—I highly recommend trying it at least once. Waking up early to use it was a bit tough, but it was absolutely worth it. The feeling of seeing Mt. Yotei from the Onsen in the morning is hard to put into words. It was truly spectacular.

The food, Room, and large public bath were all perfect! This was my first stay in two years, and the food was just as delicious as before! Please let me stay again next time!

We drove from Chiba. As an older couple, we chose this Onsen Accommodation so we could leave at a relaxed pace and truly unwind. It was a wonderful place that exceeded our expectations. The detached Room, the bath, and the meals were all outstanding. The meal included an impressive number of dishes, but each portion was thoughtfully sized, so even we were able to finish everything. The next day, we enjoyed the gentle Onsen three times and headed home unhurriedly. This is now on our list of places we definitely want to visit again.

I had a hard time choosing a Ryokan. I had already made a Reservation at an affiliated Hotel, but for some reason I ended up booking overlapping dates and didn’t realize it was a double booking. I only noticed after Furukama kindly called me. Thank you so much. The location was also very easy to find with the navigation system, and even though it was my first time there, I arrived without getting lost at all. We were welcomed with warm smiles and cheerful greetings from everyone, and the explanations were easy to understand. The baths were spacious and wonderful. There were many kinds of shampoo to choose from. We made a Reservation for a private Onsen, and it was so relaxing. Bathing while chatting as much as we wanted was also really fun. And the hair dryer was that high-end model—my hair loved it. After taking our time in the bath, we could relax before dinner. Everything we tried was delicious. Breakfast was buffet-style with lots of local specialties, and you could see the thoughtful touches throughout. It wasn’t a bed but futons, and they were incredibly comfortable—the pillow was excellent too. It was a trip filled with great food, great sleep, and total satisfaction. When we left, everyone saw us off together, and they took a commemorative Hanagasa photo for us in front of the entrance. The building wasn’t particularly new, but it felt clean and bright. Also, there seemed to be many younger staff members. Having so many young people probably means it’s an easy place to work—and it felt good being there. Thanks to Furukama, my first trip to Yamagata was truly enjoyable. It became a place where I definitely want to stay again. And that toilet… quite unique. It gave us something to talk about.

My spouse and I stayed in a Suite Room for two nights. The Room was very spacious and spotlessly clean throughout, so we were able to relax in complete comfort. We also really enjoyed the private open-air bath in the guest room at our leisure—it was the perfect way to unwind after traveling. The food was especially outstanding. Each dinner course was prepared with great care, and we were highly satisfied not only with the flavors but also with the presentation and service. Breakfast was equally plentiful, and we enjoyed every meal over both nights. All of the staff were courteous and attentive, which made our stay truly pleasant. My wife and I both agreed that choosing this Hotel was the right decision, and it became a wonderful memory of our trip to Hida Takayama. One small point: even for guests, outdoor parking costs 1,000 yen per day. Considering the Accommodation Fee, we would have appreciated complimentary parking or a guest discount. That said, overall it was an extremely satisfying stay. If we have another chance to visit Takayama, we would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. Room, amenities… The Room was wonderful. We were impressed by the futon and the sofa as well—I wish I could have them at home… The amenities were sufficient, but I’d be even happier if they were a bit more upscale. Hospitality, service… Everyone provided very pleasant service. They were also very considerate toward my husband, which made it a memorable celebration. Onsen, baths… It was a great Onsen; I soaked four times. The view from the open-air bath on the upper floor was truly soothing. This time, since the bath in our Room was not an Onsen bath, we didn’t use it. When it rains, I might hesitate a little to use the open-air bath at the large public bath (maybe it’s just me?). Meals… Everything was delicious. The portions were just right. Overall, we were very satisfied. Staying at Takinoya allowed us to spend a wonderful time celebrating his 60th birthday. Next time, I’d like to choose a type of Room with an Onsen bath… But if so, I’d want to stay two nights (lol). I’d love to visit again in a different season. Highly recommended as an adults-only Onsen Accommodation! Thank you very much for everything this time.
