We stayed for one night with two families because we had plans nearby. The Room was very clean, and despite being a dog-friendly Accommodation, there was absolutely no dog smell. It made us feel that both the guests and the cleaning are of a high standard. With so few places where you can stay freely with a dog, this Accommodation was truly appreciated.

We stayed here for a girls’ trip with five friends. It’s a whole-house rental, and the entire place is new and spotless! The interior and furniture are so stylish and cute that we were excited the moment we walked in. The owner was also kind and attentive, which made us feel at ease. You can see the ocean from the terrace, and the surrounding hills and fields create a truly relaxing atmosphere. Since it’s set slightly back from the main road, it was nice and quiet as well. When we visit Awaji Island again, we’d love to stay here again! Thank you very much for everything.

I’ve been a guest since the former Kasumi Terrace days, and I’m happy to see it back. This time, instead of my usual takeout dinner, I used the kitchen to cook (though I only grilled some meat…). After cycling, I was able to relax and recover by soaking in the bathtub. Great value for money—excellent stay. I’ll be back!

From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by this special Hotel that felt like being abroad. Every detail was beautifully designed, and we were able to relax. We spent a peaceful time together as a couple. The living room was spacious and even had karaoke. This time it was just the two of us, but it’s a Hotel we’d love to use with a larger group such as friends or our daughter’s family. We would definitely like to stay again.

I stayed again over the weekend. Just like last time, everything was well provided, and the Facility was very clean. Clear instructions were prepared for how to use the appliances, and helpful labels were placed throughout, which made things easy. I would love to stay again!

Ever since I discovered Shukabura on an accommodation booking site a few years ago, I had been dreaming of staying here someday. The owner couple are friendly and down-to-earth. With just the right sense of distance, they respected my privacy while offering thoughtful care that anticipated every need. Not only the beautiful hill scenery, but also their warmth is a major reason this place makes you want to “come back home” again. Every piece of villa decor was so lovely I wanted to photograph it, and finding the charming little items placed throughout felt like a treasure hunt. The compact interior had everything I needed, and as someone whose hair tends to explode in the morning, I was genuinely impressed that there were even two types of hair irons provided. The cosmetics and bath/hair care amenities also smelled wonderful—I ended up lingering in the bath longer than planned. The local ingredients prepared for breakfast were all surprisingly delicious, especially the vegetables. I couldn’t stop tasting them just to check doneness—and even bought extra vegetables at a local farmers’ market. As someone who enjoys cooking (not necessarily claiming I’m good at it), I loved making my own meals while admiring the stunning view from the living room, making time spent in the Room truly special. This trip was a solo journey for self-care made possible by warm support from those around me. During my stay there were many rainy or cloudy days and strong winds, so it might not be considered “good weather” in general. Even so, there were sights I could only experience because of these conditions: a rainbow after the rain; layered clouds drifting by; a sky changing moment by moment; wheat rippling in the wind; and white buckwheat flowers swaying gently. This stay reminded me once again that Biei’s charm isn’t limited to sunny days. This was my seventh visit to Biei. The colors of the hills, shades of the sky, shapes of clouds, and growing trees all look different each time—no matter how many times I come back over time, there is always something new that moves me. Next time, I’d love to visit Biei in midwinter—still unknown to me—and watch snowy scenery from Shukabura. Thank you very much for such a truly fulfilling stay for both body and mind.

We stayed for one night as a large group to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The moment we entered, we were greeted by an incredible ocean view and perfect weather—an absolutely stunning location! The accommodation featured a spacious living room, two bedrooms, a Japanese-style room, sauna, gym & karaoke room, pool, and rooftop. The furniture and decor were stylishly chosen, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The gym facilities were excellent, the karaoke room was spacious, and the pool was clean and so much fun! From the water dispenser to adorable tableware and amenities—everything was perfectly prepared! Even men's swimwear in the bathroom—it was such a thoughtful touch! Before our stay, they kindly provided information about nearby supermarkets and recommended shops. At checkout time, the staff personally came to greet us—they were truly wonderful. It turned out to be an amazing trip with absolutely no complaints at all. Thank you so much! Next time we hope to enjoy a multiple night stay!

This was our second stay with a friend’s family. Once again, we were completely satisfied. From the welcome drinks, you were also very considerate of the children. You even prepared the rice cooker we had talked about last year, so we were able to enjoy rice with whitebait in the morning. We look forward to staying again next summer for our third visit.

My children really enjoyed it. We wanted to choose the outdoor BBQ Plan, but it was too cold so we decided not to. We’d like to stay again during summer vacation. Also, we forgot our child’s backpack and asked you to send it cash on delivery, but you sent it prepaid. It’s rare to find service like this, so we were very satisfied.

From the moment we arrived, this was a special entire-home rental Hotel that felt less like “staying overnight” and more like truly inhabiting the space. The view of Oku-Kawaguchiko through the large windows changed throughout the day: in the evening, a quiet lake surface with shadows of trees; at night, forest air with almost no sound; and in the morning, soft light streaming onto a misty lake. It was the kind of place where you just want to keep watching the scenery. The interior felt luxurious yet calming, with thoughtful details in everything from lighting and furniture to sound. It naturally made us want to slow down—cooking with a beer in hand, enjoying fresh air on the terrace after the sauna—and even while spending time together, there was an unhurried sense of space. What stood out most was the morning kayaking experience. Paddling out onto a quiet Lake Kawaguchi before many people were around felt incredible. The water was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forest. It felt less like sightseeing and more like we were floating alone in nature—easily my most memorable moment of this stay. The Facility side was also very comfortable: with well-stocked kitchenware and amenities, we could enjoy high-quality time without much preparation. This isn’t just an Accommodation for sleeping—it’s a place where the experience itself changes depending on the season and how you spend your time. Next time I’d love to do a Multiple Night Stay and soak up this atmosphere even more slowly.

I stayed with my brother's family. The Room had two bedrooms and one tatami room, and one of the tatami rooms and bedrooms was a connecting room separated by a door, so we could watch over the children sleeping alone with peace of mind. Additionally, there was a jacuzzi on the terrace, and although we used it on the coldest day in December, the children were having a great time with maximum excitement (laughs). The living room on the second floor was spacious, and even with eight people, it didn't feel cramped, allowing us to have an enjoyable time. Also, it was convenient to have bathrooms and toilets on both the first and second floors. Personally, the most helpful feature was having a washing machine and dryer. The gas dryer, in particular, was very convenient as it allowed us to quickly take care of the children's clothes without taking much time. Basic appliances were provided, but since there were no pajamas, it might be a good idea to bring your own (as indicated on the site). The surroundings were quite empty, and although it was along the road, we were able to spend our time relatively quietly, allowing the adults to relax while the children had a great time playing on the terrace and in the spacious living room. My brother's family also expressed their gratitude, so I was glad we stayed. Since it can accommodate a large group, I would like to use it again if the opportunity arises.

The Room is comfortable with a pleasant view, and you can enjoy the nearby Heart Rock all to yourself on an early morning walk. The homemade vegetable-rich breakfast prepared by the warm and kind owner was also very delicious.

We stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have stayed at many Accommodations throughout the whole country, and this was truly our number one—an Accommodation we sincerely want to return to. What impressed us most was the privacy that comes with renting an entire villa and the peaceful setting where we could relax without worrying about anyone around us. We spent a leisurely time by the pool, enjoying a luxurious moment where time seemed to slow down. In the evening, we invited friends who live on Ishigaki Island and enjoyed a barbecue. With perfect weather, watching the scenery shift from Ishigaki’s beautiful sunset to a sky full of stars is an unforgettable memory. It felt less like a Hotel stay and more like spending time in our own private luxury villa—an exceptional experience. The Room was spotless down to every detail, and the Facility, amenities, and even the selection of drinks in the refrigerator were excellent. It was high-quality yet comfortable, with thoughtful touches everywhere. At night, everything was wonderfully quiet, and we were able to fully relax both body and mind. Thanks to Gokkaiseitei, our anniversary became a truly special memory. For anyone who wants to spend an extraordinary time on Ishigaki Island or celebrate an important occasion with someone special, this is an Accommodation we can confidently recommend. Next time, we would love to book a Multiple Night Stay so we can savor this luxury even more slowly. Thank you very much.

We stayed here over the July holiday weekend. We brought our own food, and there was a smokeless roaster in the Room, so we enjoyed grilling yakiniku! Since there are lots of insects in summer, we thought an outdoor barbecue would be impossible, so this was perfect for our family. Our child loved the pool, my husband enjoyed the sauna, and it’s No. 1 among all the Facility we’ve stayed at. The beach is also very close by, and when we came back after playing in the sea, they had water ready for washing our feet without us even asking—such thoughtful service! We definitely want to come again!

This was our first stay as three families. The hospitality was excellent, and the meals were luxurious and delicious!! It was also close to the West Pier, so we went for walks there many times. We would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days to celebrate his birthday. I’ve visited Awaji Island many times, but I’d never had the chance to catch a sunset on the west coast and always missed it. On the first day, it was unfortunately cloudy with light rain, so I had almost given up again—but the wind pushed away the thick clouds, and we were miraculously able to enjoy a beautifully glowing sunset. It was truly stunning. The weather was comfortable with occasional sunshine and light cloud cover, so driving around felt great as well. Wanting to try Awaji beef, we bought fresh meat at nearby Hamanishi Shoten and enjoyed a delicious meal. We took it easy, worked up a serious sweat in the barrel sauna, explored the surrounding area, and fully enjoyed Awaji Island. The Facility is clean, and the kitchen is stocked with olive oil, salt, and other essentials—supplies are more than sufficient. Upstairs there are two bedrooms; with high ceilings and an open atrium design, it feels wonderfully spacious. I also recommend relaxing on the deck chair while watching the ocean early in the morning. It was a wonderful trip. Thank you very much.

We stayed at Kamogawa 919, a traditional house sauna Accommodation, as a group with friends. First of all, the atmosphere was stylish and welcoming. While preserving the charm of an old traditional home, it was also very clean and comfortable. The sauna we had been looking forward to was an authentic wood-fired sauna—something you rarely get to experience in central Tokyo. The gentle, enveloping heat unique to firewood felt wonderful, and being able to enjoy löyly ourselves was another highlight. After working up a good sweat, we relaxed outdoors while watching the beautiful sunset from the veranda. Listening to birdsong and feeling the natural breeze as we unwound was pure bliss—it instantly melted away everyday fatigue. In the evening, we cooked together using fresh local ingredients we had bought nearby and enjoyed a laid-back time with drinks in hand. Spending time chatting with like-minded friends was truly special—a luxurious experience you can’t easily find in the city. Surrounded by nature, we were able to fully enjoy the sauna, meals, and time with friends. It was an outstanding Accommodation that refreshed both body and mind. We’d love to stay again.

We stay here every year during the Obon holidays. The atmosphere is calm, and everything is thoroughly cleaned, so it feels like coming back home (to my parents’ house). It’s truly relaxing. Thank you again for this year as well. We were able to do everything we had planned, right on schedule. There are popular roadside stations and beaches nearby, so the area gets crowded at this time of year, but Mihama House and its surroundings are very quiet and soothing. We could really unwind from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to staying again next year.

We stayed here as three generations of our family. The Room was spacious, the view was wonderful, and we enjoyed a truly luxurious time. The balcony was especially pleasant—during the day we all enjoyed the pool, and at night we stargazed together. We had a truly luxurious stay. We would love to stay again.

We were warmly welcomed even though we informed them of our late arrival. The room was spacious, bright, and had a clean atmosphere. Futons are self-service, so you set them up yourself. The TV is slightly small but sufficient for basic needs. The bath is not very large, but considering the number of rooms, it feels almost like a private Onsen experience—perfect for Onsen lovers! Amenities are well-prepared, making the stay very comfortable. However, one minor issue was the lingering smell on the haori likely worn by someone who smoked; if that were resolved, it would be perfect! I would definitely stay here again when visiting Sakata!
