Dinner was delicious as well—an unusual style of half-buffet with robatayaki grilling—and the large public bath with an open-air bath was very relaxing. The staff were courteous and attentive, which we really appreciated. The Facility is a bit old, but we chose this Accommodation in Tateshina as the place to commemorate reuniting with my wife for the first time in 50 years, and we were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a group of four, with two Twin Rooms. The rooms were clean, charming, and very comfortable. We were especially surprised by the excellent value for the meals. Both the meat and sashimi were incredibly delicious. We would definitely love to stay here again!

The Room was spacious, allowing us to relax and enjoy time with our grandchild. During the buffet, the staff interacted with us cheerfully and seemed to be enjoying themselves as they waved. The service from the lobby staff, café staff, and dining staff was exceptionally pleasant. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.

I traveled by train, and the walk from the station was not far, so I was able to get there without any trouble. The staff were kind after I arrived at the Hotel, and they even spoke to me at the shoe storage area, which was very helpful. They clearly explained everything about staying in the Accommodation and about meals as well, which made it easy to understand. The meals exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

The Accommodation buildings are scattered across a spacious property, offering a relaxing escape from the bustle of the city. But the greatest highlight here is the wonderful dinner. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, with many unique and unusual dishes. The chef’s dedication really shows in the food, and I was very satisfied. The Onsen is also excellent, with free-flowing natural hot spring water. I didn’t know there was such a great place in Kokonoe.

A repeat stay. I visit regularly, so I have nothing to complain about.

Perhaps because it was a weekday right after Golden Week, it wasn’t crowded, and we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast—everything was delicious. The Onsen was wonderful, and the staff were polite and kind. If we have the chance, we would love to visit again.

The open-air bath had a window, and I bathed with the screen in place. The Room had a great view, so I could relax and enjoy the scenery while soaking. The Room was compact, and the washbasin was right next to the bed; at first I found it a bit surprising, but it was actually convenient for drying my hair and getting ready. The Room felt slightly humid. I was disappointed that the toilet paper holder and the bath shelf were coming loose. Also, other LiVEMAX properties offered coffee service, but this one did not, and the coffee served with meals tasted weak. The meals were excellent—the simmered splendid alfonsino (kinmedai) was especially delicious, and the Japanese set breakfast was also very good. All of the staff were very pleasant, so I had a comfortable stay. I would definitely like to visit again.

Both the Accommodation and the meals exceeded our expectations—this is a place we truly want to stay at again! The Room was very clean and comfortable, and the Onsen in the Room was amazing. The river was right in front of us, and spending time listening to the gentle stream was incredibly soothing. Everything at the BBQ dinner was delicious, but the burger in particular was outstanding—it made us think, “Now we understand why it’s so highly recommended!” The sweetfish, shellfish, and vegetables were all excellent as well, and we were completely full and satisfied. Breakfast was also great—the freshly baked bread and sausages were especially tasty, and it made us feel happy from the morning. It’s a wonderful Accommodation where you can relax and refresh surrounded by nature. We’d love to come back again in a different season!

The Accommodation was very clean and well maintained, and it was very comfortable. I’ve used the bath many times in the past, so it was exactly as expected. I’ll be visiting again in September, so thank you in advance.

You generally won’t have any contact with the Hotel staff, so there’s no need to worry about being considerate. It’s unmanned from check-in to check-out. If you’re not comfortable operating machines, it may be a bit difficult.\nThe Facility is fairly old, so it’s recommended for those who just need a place to sleep. It’s nice that the washing machine can be used for free, which is convenient for a Multiple Night Stay. The dryer isn’t very powerful, so it takes time.\nThis time I couldn’t book a non-smoking single Room and ended up with a smoking Room. I expected some cigarette smell, but it was quite strong.

I’ve stayed here many times, and I’m always very satisfied. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. However, this time there was one thing: the open-air bath was too hot, so I couldn’t relax and enjoy it. I’ll be back again.

They kindly told us the best spots to watch the fireworks, nearby convenience stores, and the Facility amenities.

Bringing our two preschool grandchildren with us, choosing the detached Accommodation was the right decision. It was even the same Room my husband and I had stayed in before! It seemed to be their first time experiencing an open-air bath attached to the Room, and they were thrilled. Since it’s a standalone house, we could relax and enjoy ourselves without worrying about disturbing others even if they got a little noisy. Meals were served in a private dining room, and not only was the food excellent, but above all the service was outstanding. All of the staff were from overseas, but they welcomed us with wonderful smiles, making our meal truly pleasant.

I stayed here to visit Kiyotsu Gorge. It was my first trip to Niigata. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there weren’t many guests, so I could relax and take my time. At the Premium Lounge, drinks such as beer were all-you-can-drink, and the Onsen’s open-air bath was wonderful. Dinner was a course meal, and breakfast was a buffet— both were very filling! It’s right in front of the ski slopes, so it’s a perfect location for skiing in winter. The station is within walking distance, but they kindly drove me back to the station on my way out. They took great care of everything, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

If you’d like the rice and miso soup served earlier at dinner, it’s best to ask. (I’m not sure about the Ryokan’s unspoken rules, but if you don’t say anything, they seem to ask near the end—just before dessert—and will bring them if needed.) Breakfast had a bit more pickles and pre-made dishes than expected, so I would have appreciated a few more freshly cooked warm items.

Although the building feels a bit dated, the Hotel is kept very clean, and since it’s not ski season, it’s a great location for a quiet and relaxing stay. It was also nice to be able to see the city night view from the Room. The meals (not buffet-style) were served promptly by the staff at just the right timing, and there was more than I could finish. They also took photos for us, and the service was excellent. There are a few minor inconveniences (I won’t go into details), but personally I think it’s a good place. If you’re looking for every possible amenity in a Hotel, you can always choose to stay somewhere more expensive.

I really wanted to stay at a three-star buffet Accommodation, so I chose this one. The food was delicious—above all, the sashimi was excellent. I ate way too much sushi as well. I also fully enjoyed the seafood grill, especially the abalone and other items that are hard to come by in everyday life. The Hotel Facility is old, though. But since I came for the meals, it wasn’t an issue. I mistakenly thought it was a premium Accommodation, so it was disappointing that there were no soft drinks. At dinner, I added an all-you-can-drink option for about 2,500 yen, so I was very satisfied. It was supposed to be Airweave bedding, but I didn’t find it particularly comfortable to sleep on.

We were able to stay at a great price, and the meals were incredibly delicious and very generous—we really had to work hard to finish them. There was Hida beef served both teppanyaki-style and as sukiyaki, and the vegetables were fresh and very tasty. We also reserved the bath for private use, and we were moved by the breathtaking star-filled sky. There was no air conditioning, but it wasn’t a problem. The Room was old, but we knew it came with that condition, so it was fine. Our whole family was so satisfied that we all said we’d like to stay again. With souvenirs included as well, I think it’s a truly wonderful Ryokan.

Close to the ropeway station, with an Onsen. After hiking, you can head straight back to the Hotel and take a bath! It was awesome. The breakfast curry & lassi were unexpectedly delicious. We had a great time and would love to come again.
