We stayed in a special room. The service during the meal was excellent. We had the pufferfish course, and we would have been happier if it had been a bit more luxurious. Given the reasonable price, we were satisfied overall. Thank you very much.

This is a Hotel where you can truly experience Aso! The five peaks of Aso seen from the 7th-floor panoramic bath were amazing. Being able to enjoy the Onsen while looking at the beautiful mountains was the best. As mentioned in other Reviews, the initial explanation at the front desk felt brief, but they provided the minimum necessary information, so it wasn’t a problem. Our Room faced the town side, but it had a nice view of the outer rim mountains.

Before visiting Himakajima, I researched accommodations and found that the reviews were not very favorable, so my expectations were low. However, the staff at the accommodation were all incredibly hospitable, providing exceptional service throughout my stay. While it was not an onsen, the large public bath was spacious and relaxing, offering a similar experience with views of Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay. The sunset from the room was extraordinary—a scene reminiscent of a novel's opening line describing "a magnificent twilight," visible across the peninsula. The only disappointment was hearing that octopus catches have been poor recently. I look forward to visiting again when I have another opportunity.

Opening the front door reveals an ocean view, and the Room has been beautifully renovated—clean, spacious, and wonderful. However, there was a lot of dog hair from a previous guest on the floor and sofa. The stick vacuum was out of charge, so we used the provided lint roller to clean. There was no liquid left for the vape-type insect repellent. Also, since there is no night light on the second floor, a stand light had been provided as an alternative, but it was broken. The floors did not feel thoroughly cleaned, which was a bit disappointing. The BBQ grill didn’t seem to get hot enough—at first I thought it might be broken, though now I think it may have been due to how it’s operated. That said, the area is a quiet residential neighborhood with a supermarket nearby. The view from the windows is amazing—you can see the sea—and at night the stars are beautiful. Most cooking utensils and seasonings are provided. There’s no TV service, but Wi-Fi is available and you can project Netflix and other content onto the wall for a home-theater experience. The interior has been renovated; upstairs is set up as bedrooms; and both the toilet and bath are very clean. The air conditioning works well. The best part by far is the continuously flowing open-air bath: both the indoor bath and open-air bath are natural Onsen. The round open-air bath is about 160 cm in diameter and can fit three people comfortably. It helped us forget everyday life and truly relax. We also appreciated receiving a paella meal kit as a seasonal perk—thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. We booked again because we trust that making a Reservation through IKYU won’t disappoint. Overall, it was very good—a wonderful time—and our dog enjoyed it too.

The view is beautiful. The room is very spacious. At night, it gets completely dark, and if there are no clouds, the stars are stunning. The hotel's service is excellent. Although I didn’t use it, there is a pool available. The surroundings consist of fields, forests, and cows. It reminded me of an old but charming hotel in Ubud, Bali. For dining or shopping, you can reach the town by car in about 10 minutes. Both the airport and the town are nearby. The hotel offers a morning restaurant and drink vending machines; there might have been cup noodles available too (though I didn’t try them). The facility is somewhat old but functional. Hot showers work well, and the air conditioning was effective. While geckos may occasionally appear (as they do in Bali), I didn’t encounter any during my stay—they’re harmless anyway! There were a few small ants in the bathtub at one point but washing them away with water solved that issue. I made a last-minute reservation during peak season at what I thought was a reasonable price. If you’re concerned about some of these minor drawbacks mentioned above, this place might not be for you; however, if they don’t bother you much, your satisfaction will likely be high. I would love to stay here again!

I finally got to stay at Lily's House! As imagined, it was a great accommodation. The building is old, but the interior has been beautifully renovated, and the Goemon bath had a wonderful atmosphere. I was very satisfied. The staff were also flexible and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Three family members in our 70s stayed in a Japanese-Western style Room. It’s a Showa-era building, but the Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We could also see a beautiful sunrise from the Room. The location was great, and we took an early-morning walk to Amanohashidate. For dinner, we chose the chef’s omakase Amanohashidate kaiseki course served in our Room, but it was far too much for us in our 70s and we felt sorry for leaving some of it. In hindsight, we should have asked about the menu before choosing the course. The bath had one tub and I recall there were seven or eight faucets and showers. It’s on the small side. It seemed that the men’s bath on the day we stayed was even smaller. The front desk staff answered our questions in a friendly manner. Overall, I think it offers very good value for money.

It was a wonderful villa with a lovely atmosphere and great views. Two issues: the dryer switched to cool air drying a few minutes after starting, so it was unusable. Also, please make it so that people inside the toilet cannot be seen through the door (especially when the light is on). That was very uncomfortable.

The service was excellent, and we were very satisfied. During the Shuttle Service from the station, we enjoyed chatting and were told about a great sunset spot. The drinks served with dinner were also delicious, and we had a wonderful evening meal. The coffee was great as well. If we have the chance, we would love to visit again.

The Room was very clean and comfortable. The view was also great. We were able to relax without worrying, even when the kids were being noisy. It was a hot day, so we really appreciated that the air conditioning had already been set when we checked in. We used a nearby Onsen at night, and took a bath here in the morning. A morning bath while looking out at the sea was wonderful.

Stayed for 2 nights with a family of 6. A clean, spacious, and affordable Room with nothing to complain about. Two toilets, washrooms, and bathrooms are great! (One bathtub) There are also 2 bedrooms, and in addition, a Japanese-style room (can lay out 3 futons). The layout is good and the table is lovely. Within walking distance to American Village. Convenient store next door. It was a very nice place. Very satisfied.

It was my first time staying in the Onna Village area. Since I was traveling with children, I looked for a place where we could relax and be close to the sea. The staff were warm and welcoming, and having the sea nearby made it a perfect location! The gas-powered washer-dryer was also incredibly convenient! This time, we opted out of breakfast, but it looked delicious, so I might include it next time... The kids were very satisfied! They were already talking about wanting to stay here again next year, so I definitely want to come back too.

For this price, the quality is excellent—great value for money. The room was spacious enough and had a terrace, which was very relaxing. With the window open, you can hear the sound of the waves—it’s soothing. When turning in from the main road, the lane is narrow, so drivers should be careful. The Hotel is tucked away further in. It’s a small, quiet Hotel that I highly recommend. It may look like there’s nothing around, but if you walk a bit you’ll find great izakayas and yakiniku restaurants nearby, so we were very satisfied. I’d love to stay at this Hotel again.

I took a short one-night trip nearby with my grandchild to enjoy the pool and the Onsen. Both were very pleasant and relaxing. The pool changing room had a musty smell, and I think it would be even better if it were renovated to be cleaner and more resort-like. If the poolside area were also updated with more of a resort atmosphere, it would improve even further, and I would likely visit more often. The dinner buffet was well thought out, and the appetizer-style dishes were delicious. I would also be happy to see tempura and sushi offered. The breakfast buffet had fewer options than expected, so I’d like to see a bit more variety and creativity. Overall, I was satisfied.

This Hotel is highly recommended for anyone considering a stay around Lake Yamanaka near Mt. Fuji. What I appreciated most was the free Shuttle Service from the Fujisan-Yamanakako bus stop to the Hotel. It is available between 15:00 and 17:00, and being taken directly to the Hotel after getting off the bus made me feel very comfortable even on my first visit. If you plan to use it, be sure to make a Reservation in advance online or by phone. The location is also excellent, and Rooms on the Mt. Fuji side offer a stunning view of Mt. Fuji right from the window—truly a highlight. Being able to relax in your Room while enjoying that view feels special. All of the staff were very kind, and it was impressive how attentive and pleasant everyone was, regardless of nationality. The overall atmosphere was warm, and I felt at ease throughout my stay. Before staying, I had seen in a Review that “the shower room is a bit small,” which made me slightly concerned, but in reality it was a unit-bath style setup and personally felt like an appropriate size. It was easier to use than I expected, with no inconvenience at all. I also added meals on-site, and the eel course was excellent—I was very satisfied. There were plenty of dishes included, which was especially enjoyable for an eel lover like me. With great views, location, service, and dining all well balanced, this is a Hotel I would happily choose again.

We truly enjoyed time passing slowly and peacefully. Last time we had breakfast only, but this time we also had dinner; we were surprised by how much there was, but everything was delicious. Thank you very much. I don’t know when it will be next time, but when our family can all

It’s a new Hotel, so of course it was spotless, and I really enjoyed the buffet meals both for breakfast and dinner! The bed was spacious and the springs were excellent! If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again!

We stayed for 4 nights. The Room was very spacious, with an unobstructed view—absolutely wonderful. Because there was a low table instead of a dining table, eating was a bit inconvenient, but it also made the Room feel even more open and airy. We planned to cook for ourselves, but it seems some Rooms have a small saucepan and others do not. We might have been able to borrow one if we asked, but we managed without it this time. (It would have been even better if plastic wrap had been provided.) One downside is that since it’s by the sea, the humidity is high, and because it faces west, laundry doesn’t dry easily. In that case, using the in-room clothes dryer in the bathroom worked well and dried everything nicely. Although our contact with Hotel staff was minimal, whenever we spoke to them they were attentive and considerate, which made our stay very comfortable. We would love to stay again for a Multiple Night Stay. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

We were worried about the outdoor pool in the extreme heat, but the sea breeze kept it cool and our grandchildren enjoyed it. Snow crab was served at dinner, which surprised everyone since it was summer. They also grilled steak for us, and it was delicious. The watermelon was sweet, and there were also chocolate fondue and ice cream. The breakfast buffet was wonderful too, especially while enjoying the ocean view. We would love to stay again.
