We stayed here to celebrate our dog’s birthday. 2 adults and 2 dogs. The Room was very nice, and we were able to enjoy the Onsen comfortably. However, dinner was shabu-shabu with high-quality international beef and it was delicious, but there was only one plate of sashimi. Even though the Room and Onsen were wonderful, we felt a bit disappointed with the meals. I think one plate of meat is fine, but it would be better if condiments and sashimi were prepared individually for each person. Breakfast was supposed to be delivered in a box, but there were no details about the explanation or where it would be placed, so we ended up searching all over the Room and the food got cold. Also, we felt the seasoning was a little strong. It was nice to relax with minimal staff interaction, but we also felt there was too much self-service for what you pay. At least for meals, it would be better if they could deliver them and set them up for us. We’re not sure about staying again next time. We were very satisfied with the Room and Onsen. We think this Accommodation is great for larger groups of friends who want to have fun together.

I was able to sleep well in a quiet environment. Thank you for accommodating my early morning departure. I will stay again.

Thank you. As a repeat guest, I always stay here. This time, a new Western-style room was added, and I was curious to see how it would be. I was impressed by the attention to detail in the design of the bed, sofa, walls, and artwork. The accommodation has always offered great drinks, Onsen experiences, and heartfelt hospitality. Seeing everyone at the accommodation working hard gave me energy as well. There are still areas in this region that will take time to recover fully. To support Noto Peninsula together with everyone else, I look forward to enjoying delicious meals, Onsen experiences, and heartfelt service again in the future.

First, about the room: we chose this accommodation because it was affordable and we were intrigued by the attic room. For two women, the space was sufficient, and despite its age, it was clean with a nice view from the window, which made us very satisfied. Although there is no toilet in the room and I thought it might be inconvenient at night, it was located just downstairs so I didn’t mind. However, during busy periods with many guests, this might cause some stress. As for the food, as mentioned in other reviews, it was absolutely delicious! The salad was crisp and fresh, and each dish felt carefully prepared. The manager’s response? Calm and courteous—it made our stay incredibly comfortable. The scenery of Takayama Village, the shops we stopped by on our way there, the accommodation itself, the food—everything left a deep impression on us. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

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.

The breathtaking fresh greenery seen through the picture window was wonderful, and I was also able to fully indulge in the luxurious quality of the Onsen itself. I look forward to staying again.

We stayed as two couples, my husband and I, along with my sister and her husband. The accommodation provided shuttle service to the nearest station, and the staff's hospitality was excellent. The meals were outstanding; the rice from Uonuma was so delicious that both the porridge at dinner and breakfast the next day left us thinking we had never tasted such amazing rice before. If I had to mention one minor disappointment, it would be that the beef steak served at dinner was cold. However, all other dishes—appetizers, wild boar dish, sashimi—were absolutely delightful. As a parting gift, they gave us souvenirs which included a photo taken during our meal from the previous day—a wonderful keepsake of our stay. Thank you very much!

It was a very good facility. Everyone was kind, and it became a good memory of Kanazawa. Thank you very much.

In early March, our family of three stayed at KODACHI while there was still snow. The open setting featured an irori dining area, a wood-fired sauna, a large outdoor hot bath and cold plunge, a bedroom trailer, a sanitary room, and a deck with a fire pit. We checked in at 3:00 pm and headed straight to the outdoor bath in the provided swimsuits—our 5-year-old daughter was thrilled. Dinner was served around the irori: seafood hot pot and salmon-and-lily-bulb takikomi rice cooked over firewood. Our child even asked for seconds of the rice, and we were all very satisfied. They also set up a projector during dinner so our daughter stayed entertained while we could enjoy our meal at ease. After she fell asleep, we prepared the wood-fired sauna and lit the deck fire ourselves (staff can also assist). Relaxing in the sauna while looking up at the starry sky among the trees was truly an incredible healing experience. On evening walks around the spacious grounds we enjoyed stargazing, and in the morning we went birdwatching with binoculars, searching for long-tailed tits together. After breakfast we took snowshoes to see the river, and before we knew it it was time for checkout at 11:00 am. Next time we’d love to return in summer for two nights. Thank you to all the kind staff for such a special experience.

The food is delicious every time, and the Room is very clean. It was a very lovely pension that seemed to overflow with the kind personality of the owner couple.

The onsen was out of order, so we used nearby onsens with a pass. The accommodation staff were kind, and the meals were enjoyable and delicious. The breakfast rice was shiny and very tasty. I would love to try the onsen once it is fixed.

This was our first trip to Hakuba with my daughter, and we were very satisfied with this accommodation. With only four rooms, each uniquely designed, we chose the "Condo" room this time. The room featured beautiful interior design, offering a luxurious and private experience. My daughter was delighted as well. For us, the enjoyment of a trip heavily depends on the accommodation's room and meals, and Kunugi exceeded all expectations with its hospitality and cleanliness. One of the highlights was the bath facilities—three options including indoor baths and an outdoor Asian-style bath that required a reservation. The outdoor bath had a tropical resort vibe where we could relax while enjoying views of the garden. It was so pleasant that I ended up using it twice—once in the evening and again in the morning. Dinner consisted of a full-course menu featuring fish and meat dishes that were casual yet delicious. The French toast served at breakfast was also excellent, which made my daughter very happy once again. Having stayed at many hotels or ryokans before, I believe accommodations like Kunugi—with its originality and exceptional hospitality—are rare to find. While winter is likely their peak season due to increased demand, visiting during off-season periods like now through autumn offers more reasonable rates. Summer in Hakuba feels like experiencing Japan’s traditional landscapes—a truly unique region worth visiting. We will definitely return for another stay! The owner was incredibly kind—a wonderful host—and even provided shuttle service for us. Thank you so much for making this summer trip such an unforgettable experience!

All the staff were cheerful and energetic, and their service was excellent. The Room and the bath were spacious and comfortable. The view from the Room was outstanding. Every dish at dinner was delicious. I would definitely like to stay again when I visit Aso. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a family of four. The bath was very relaxing, and both breakfast and dinner were delicious. All the staff were friendly, and we had a very pleasant stay.

Both the front desk staff and the head therapist were wonderful. The Shuttle Service staff from Nasu-Shiobara Station was very kind. Thanks to them, we had a fantastic stay. It was like a dream to be able to enjoy such delicious, authentic Peking duck in Nasu Highlands. We will definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

The more you travel, the more your 기준 for choosing an Accommodation shifts from “luxury” to “essential comfort.” Tucked away in a mountain gorge at 1,000 meters above sea level in Kokonoe, Oita, Tabinoyado Yamatsubaki feels like the final paradise discerning travelers eventually find. Its greatest value lies in its intentionally limited number of rooms. Far removed from the bustle of a large Ryokan, it offers complete privacy—paired with perfectly judged hospitality that is attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment you arrive, you can feel everyday life quietly fade away. The open-air bath is simply unforgettable. In crisp, unobstructed air, soaking in superb free-flowing Onsen while watching the starry sky shift moment by moment becomes more than a bath—it’s an indulgent sense of oneness with nature. For an Accommodation with such a private atmosphere, the generous space throughout is exceptional and especially appealing to wellness-minded travelers. As I was visiting after business and didn’t want to inconvenience the owner couple, I booked a stay with breakfast only—but each dish at breakfast told its own story. Every bite was spot-on and far beyond expectations. I regretted not ordering dinner so much that I could only think afterward: “Why didn’t I?” I also learned that at nearby Komatsu Jigoku—reopened for sightseeing after restoration completed in summer 2025—you can make Onsen eggs yourself. They kindly sold me eggs upon request and graciously accommodated my last-minute favor. I visited in early summer, but reaching Kokonoe’s mountains when they are covered in snow will likely require some preparation. Even so, that challenge only adds to the thrill of heading into a hidden retreat. Nature, renowned hot springs, and outstanding cuisine—Yamatsubaki brings them together in near-perfect balance. It isn’t just somewhere to stay; it’s a destination in itself—a truly one-of-a-kind Accommodation worth traveling for.

We stayed as a family of three. The surroundings were wonderful, and we were very satisfied with the Onsen and the meals. Our child has a big appetite, so we weren’t sure at first, but it was more than enough. Unexpectedly, we saw five wild deer on the way to the Hotel.

What’s fascinating about Nana’s philosophy is how deliberately it reduces “information density.” Even with just a one-night stay, I could clearly feel the Accommodation’s concept: 1) No excessive signage or posters inside 2) No filling the space with background music 3) Avoiding harsh lighting 4) Minimizing digital noise as much as possible Through the space, sound, light, and service, it conveyed the idea that “silence isn’t emptiness—it’s a state where only what’s necessary remains.” The staff were outstanding from the moment I pulled into the parking area until they saw me off the next morning. I believe this reflects an intentional design by the owners (a couple): creating a place to Clear people’s senses. 5) The main focus is not “people,” but “place” and “nature” → Prioritizing “what you feel” over “who made it.” 6) A commitment to completing the Accommodation as a “work” → Only three rooms; no adding more Facility features. No indiscriminate advertising. → A mindset of “only those who understand need to come,” aligned with traditional house restoration values. You could say this is for travelers whose purpose is to feel restored and re-centered: 7) Your body resets in the Onsen 8) Your senses reset through fire and food 9) Your mind resets through satoyama landscapes and an old folk house → Redefining travel from consumption to renewal. As tools for restoration, it offers free-flowing natural hot spring water, silence, an aesthetic space, and an Accommodation with high experiential value. → Not just “staying overnight,” but a trip where something changes. Nana’s philosophy feels almost perfectly aligned—its ideas and their realization overlap naturally. Among all the places I’ve stayed in Japan over the past few years, this was the best. In other words, choosing Nana—even for just one night—as a journey to re-center my senses and experience it as a complete work turned out exactly right. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
