Last week, I stayed at this Ryokan with a friend and had a wonderful night. The Onsen is excellent, and our Room was equipped with Onsen water and a wooden bathtub, which made for a very relaxing experience. I also truly appreciated how quickly the staff called me when I left something behind, allowing me to retrieve it safely. Please note that the bus service in front of the Ryokan stops running at 3:00 PM.

This was my fifth stay, and I visited for three consecutive months. I love the beautiful presentation, delicious food, and the open-air bath. The Room is spacious and wonderful as well. The owner is very kind, making this an Accommodation I definitely want to return to.

My child had a great time solving the “Little People” puzzle last month, so we stayed again to try the ninja puzzle. Since it was during the Obon holiday period, it was very lively and crowded. The large public bath in particular was full of excited children. All of the food was delicious, and the welcome sake in the lounge was also excellent. However, it was disappointing that there was a leftover seaweed packet from a previous breakfast on the floor in our Room, and a used paper cup left inside the shoe cabinet for outdoor shoes. It felt like the cleaning wasn’t thorough, and there were even cobwebs around the lighting. In the end, we were able to complete the ninja puzzle successfully, and my child went home satisfied. It was also nice to be able to enjoy things like an evening taiko drum performance and feeding koi fish.

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.

My flight arrived at Memanbetsu Airport at 18:30. I wanted to order dinner as well, but it seemed I would need to finish eating by 20:00, so I decided not to. Since nearby restaurants close early, I ended up having a convenience store bento for dinner. The Haseko Mart bento was really delicious. Highly recommended.

I stayed here again for the first time in 15 years. When staying in Kuju, this Accommodation is definitely the right choice. I was satisfied with everything—the views, the open-air bath, the service, and the meals. One small thing: the faucet at the Room sink was a bit too short and slightly inconvenient to use (haha). I made wonderful memories.

I went with modest expectations because the dinner buffet offered all-you-can-eat crab, but it exceeded them. There were surprisingly large crab legs, pork and beef shabu-shabu, and teppanyaki. It also included all-you-can-drink beer and local sake, which delighted my wife, who loves both crab and drinks.\nThe Onsen was excellent. The Room was old, but the tatami mats had been replaced, so we stayed comfortably.\nI would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

All the staff were kind, and the property was clean. The Hotel did feel a bit dated. Breakfast and dinner were both very delicious—much better than I expected for the price. The Niigata rice was especially good. The complimentary snacks and drinks in the lounge were also nice. Roasting marshmallows over the irori at night was fun. The large public bath and open-air bath, fed by a private hot spring source, were excellent as well. However, it seemed a little different from Tsukioka Onsen’s typical emerald-green water with a thin oily film on the surface. Maybe there is a lot of added water? I’m not sure. Even so, considering the value for money, meals, various services, and how kind the staff were, I think it’s a good Hotel. Thank you for taking care of us. The town area of Tsukioka Onsen is beautifully maintained and very pleasant. It’s an Onsen I would definitely like to visit again.

It’s a small Hotel, but it was very nice. The day before, after a long drive, my husband’s back pain got worse, and they prepared a wheelchair for him—it was a huge help. Thank you very much. The Onsen was very relaxing, and the breakfast was delicious. My husband also said he definitely wants to come again.

This was my third stay. Every year, I travel from Shiga Prefecture to Tottori to visit family graves, and I stay here. I’m always satisfied with the amount of dinner—it’s very filling. Breakfast was also great. Thank you very much. I’d like to stay again. The only disappointing thing this time was that my room wasn’t on the train-view side like the last two times, so I couldn’t watch the trains from the window. That’s about it—the only negative point.

It was a last-minute trip. We chose your Hotel for its views of the Alps. The special rate after Silver Week was also a deciding factor. The Room and bath met our expectations, and the buffet meals exceeded our expectations for both dinner and breakfast.

What we liked - Many of the dining areas are semi-private, which gave our family a nice sense of privacy. - The meal selection wasn’t huge, but it was more than satisfying, and everything we tried was delicious. We appreciated the focus on quality over flashy presentation. - Although all the staff were foreign nationals, everyone was smiling, sincere, and hardworking. It made us want to cheer them on. - Each floor had a completely different hallway interior design and furnishings, which was fun to see. - There was some flexibility at check-in and during meals, so we didn’t have to rush or wait in long lines. We really appreciated being able to move around calmly. A few minor disappointments - The air conditioning in the lobby, hallways, and elevator wasn’t very effective, so it felt hot. The lobby is large with an open atrium so that’s understandable, but the elevator was especially warm. - There were cobwebs on the ceiling near the window in our Room. We stayed as three generations of our family (parents and child), and everyone was very satisfied—we had a wonderful time together. Thank you very much.

At the end of the year, I stayed with my elderly parents. Since my mother needed a walker, I was a bit worried due to the lack of barrier-free information in the facility, but prioritized having a private bath and an onsen in the room due to the influenza outbreak. As a result, although the property was not barrier-free, the staff provided such considerate care that it was a very pleasant stay. The parking lot is several tens of meters away, but they offered valet parking for my mother and assisted us in areas with steps. The quality of the onsen was excellent, and our family felt warm and cozy. Although the building is old, it has been renovated and was thoroughly cleaned.

I stayed in a smoking Room, and it smelled like being in a smoking lounge. The odor was a bit too strong. I’ve switched to e-cigarettes, so the smell of cigarettes is usually fine for me, but this was overwhelmingly strong. Even using the air purifier didn’t help. Everything else was very good, which makes it disappointing.

It was within walking distance of Yubatake, and the meals offered a wide variety and were delicious. The Room was so spacious it almost felt like too much, but I was able to relax very comfortably. The open-air bath in the Room wasn’t very private despite being “open-air,” as it could be seen from outside, so I ended up having to lower the blinds, which reduced the sense of openness. Still, it was much better than an indoor bath. There was also a large public Onsen bath, so I could fully enjoy the Onsen there as well.

We arrived by car. The steep slope and distance from the parking lot to the accommodation made it quite challenging, especially with suitcases. The accommodation itself was clean and well-maintained, including the room, toilet, and bathroom, which made for a pleasant stay. The lamps placed throughout created a unique atmosphere that was very charming. However, I did wonder how other guests spent their time in the dimly lit rooms aside from enjoying the onsen. It was refreshing to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and relax in a remote mountain area where even smartphones couldn't be used, surrounded by the sound of a flowing river and autumn leaves. I would love to visit again once the open-air bath is restored.

We stayed here during the summer holidays. True to its reputation as a hidden hot spring in Tohoku, the location was quite challenging to reach, but it was a wonderful Accommodation. The interior was kept very clean, and arrangements of lisianthus and asters placed here and there were soothing. One minor point—perhaps due to the deep mountain setting and humidity—the indoor toilet had a slight musty smell at times, but otherwise it was a very comfortable Ryokan.

We stayed as a couple. To be honest, we chose this Accommodation because of the low price, but the Room was spacious, the bedding was clean, and we were able to relax comfortably. There were guests in the next Room, and there were times when construction was going on outside, but it didn’t bother us at all—perhaps because the soundproofing is solid. The toilet in the Room does not have a bidet seat, but it seems the shared toilets on the floor are equipped with one. The bath in a separate building had pleasantly silky water, and the washing area was spacious and comfortable. The open-air bath is very close to trees and has quite an atmospheric feel, so we recommend using it in the morning. Also, please be careful as the walkway can be slippery on rainy days. Next time, we would like to use the private bath as well.

My spouse and I stayed for two nights. It was our first trip to the Nikko area, and we were really looking forward to it. Although One More Time Heart is on a plateau, it’s located partway up the mountain, and getting there was easy with no trouble along the way. The Room was a private two-story cottage, and both the indoor bath and open-air bath were wonderful—we used them many times. The meals were a luxurious course dinner and very delicious. The rice-grain bread and beef in particular were outstanding. It’s far from our home, but we would definitely like to stay again.
