We were satisfied and found the house comfortable, but the Plan description did not provide enough information. The BBQ Plan only says to bring your own ingredients, but no tableware or other items are provided. We do some camping, so we brought what we needed, but we wondered if some guests might arrive with only ingredients as instructed.

It’s about a 20-minute drive to Takachiho Gorge, but we chose Kijiya because it’s an onsen Accommodation. We had reserved the first boat ride at Takachiho Gorge the next morning, so we stayed with dinner only. Dinner was delicious, with salt-grilled yamame trout, sashimi, tempura, and more. As expected, the onsen was wonderful. We checked out early in the morning, but it’s a great Accommodation where you can truly relax.

The staff were very friendly, and the check-in instructions were easy to understand. Even at this time of year, we were able to use the jacuzzi while the sun was out. The bathroom was clean, and we enjoyed a beautiful view in the morning, making for a very pleasant stay.

Our three-generation family trip was a wonderful stay at Oebi, and we were able to fully enjoy Himakajima. After check-out, we could store our luggage and use the bath for an additional fee, which let us make the most of the day until our afternoon ferry—swimming at the beach, taking the Gururi Bus around the island, and interacting with dolphins. Both dinner and breakfast featured fresh seafood, and we were very satisfied. We made great family memories and would love to visit again. Thank you very much. One request: it would be helpful to have a spin dryer in the changing room for swimsuits after swimming. Also, a clothesline rope in the bath area would be appreciated.

The scenery was wonderful, and the calm atmosphere made for a very comfortable stay. It was great to be able to see the horizon of the Genkai Sea from the Room. However, when I woke up in the middle of the night and looked outside through the window, I could see stars—and I thought how much more beautiful it would have been if the window had been clean. Breakfast was delicious. Thank you very much.

Surprisingly spacious and beautifully designed! The 2nd-floor terrace offers a sea view, and the kitchen is fully equipped—I wish I could have stayed for three nights to relax! The toilet and bathroom are clean! I completely forgot there were no amenities, so I went to a nearby supermarket to buy some. But honestly, it didn’t matter because everything else was so perfect that it made up for it. Since the area is residential, you can’t really be loud outside at night. Once inside the Room, though, it feels like another world—no problem at all. There are no curtains on the large windows, so the morning sunlight can be bright; having a partition would make it even better. The 2nd floor was spacious; while the 1st floor was simple and cute, we didn’t use it much. There’s also some equipment for light workouts—it’s fun! One night just isn’t enough! Check-in happens at a different location where staff explain everything—the design there is also great. The people are kind, and there’s a lovely wooden scent in the air. From start to finish, this was an absolutely amazing Room for me!

I was worried because the Reviews I checked in advance were low, but I’m very satisfied. The Room was spacious, and the view toward Zenkoji Temple and the night scenery were amazing. The amenities were well stocked, and both the open-air bath and indoor bath were great. Since it was that time of year when the Room heating wasn’t on, it was cold, so I contacted the front desk and they brought me a fan heater. There were some stains and dirt on the carpet, and the amenities didn’t feel particularly luxurious, but at this price it’s more than enough. It seems like meal ratings are very low, but since my stay was No Meals Included, I can’t comment. If you go down about 10 minutes there’s a convenience store, and beyond that there’s an AEON mall, popular supermarkets, chain restaurants, and ramen shops—so even with No Meals Included there’s no problem. I’ll stay here again next year!!

The ocean was right in front of us, and we could hear the sound of the waves even inside the Room—it was very relaxing. The staff were also very pleasant and wonderful. We would love to stay here many more times in the future. Thank you very much.

The front desk staff were helpful, and the Room was clean and nice.\nWhat was disappointing was that the open-air bath was unavailable, and it would have been better if the Room air conditioner temperature could be adjusted more precisely.

The building is old but kept clean, so there were no issues. The bath includes an open-air bath where you can relax while enjoying the night sky and ocean in a private setting. Dinner was very hearty, featuring Chita beef, Ise lobster, sashimi, sushi, and octopus rice—truly satisfying. The buffet-style breakfast was also delicious. The staff at the accommodation were extremely kind. The fluffy and warm futon was excellent as well. The return shuttle service felt like a thrilling roller coaster ride! I had a wonderful time and fully enjoyed my stay. I would love to come back again. Thank you very much!

It was a very homey accommodation! Some of the amenities felt a bit dated (the desk lamp in the closet was not functional), but the breakfast was delicious, the garden had a wonderful tropical vibe, and I was able to relax! Thank you.

It was very kind and nice.

A very calm Accommodation where you can relax to the chorus of frogs. It has both a day-use Facility and overnight Accommodation on the same property. The Onsen is a mildly alkaline simple hot spring, gentle on the skin even with multiple baths—ideal for guests who want to soak several times during their stay. Dinner surprised me with its sheer volume—in a good way. Dish after dish keeps coming, so I recommend skipping lunch before you take it on (lol). You can fully enjoy Kumamoto specialties such as kuruma prawns, sea bream, and kibinago (silver-stripe round herring). The Facility itself is not a luxury Hotel, but that’s exactly what makes it appealing: a relaxed place loved by locals where you can truly unwind. If you’re tired of excessive service, this laid-back atmosphere will feel genuinely restful. Personally, I think in rural areas this kind of unpretentious comfort suits the setting better than luxury or over-the-top service. Given the amount of food, the pricing feels fair. There might also be demand for a slightly smaller meal at a lower price point; however, there are Airbnb options at similar prices even without meals, so I consider it reasonable overall. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

I stayed here for triathlon training. As it’s a private guesthouse, it’s not a resort, but Maehama Beach is nearby and I was able to do plenty of cycling practice. The breakfast and dinner were delicious and gave me the energy I needed. I’d like to stay again when I come back to train. Also, the sunset from the nearby park was amazing.

Very convenient for skiers. Lift discount vouchers are available in the off-season in March. Unfortunately, I didn’t know about them on the first day and couldn’t use one. Many Hotels around here are like this, but it’s great that you can still take a bath after check-out once you’re done skiing. The open-air bath has excellent water quality, but it was a bit disappointing that after check-out only the indoor bath is available. The meals were more than enough, and I didn’t have room for the all-you-can-eat imoni soup and dessert. I wanted to have the imoni soup the next morning even if it was just reheated, but it seems it’s only served at night. I thought it would be nice if the foreign staff smiled a bit more, but since I train Hotel employees as a Japanese-language teacher, I tend to be overly critical. They are probably doing their best.

So this is what people mean by “Shakotan Blue.” I was moved by the mesmerizing waves that draw you in. A vast natural setting surrounded by the sound of the sea. We stocked up on ingredients in Iwanai and enjoyed cooking. Bringing our own seasonings was a good idea. We forgot cooking oil, so we cooked without it. There are four large mugs, along with glasses and plates for four people.

It was our first stay, and with a typhoon approaching we were a little anxious, but thanks to the wonderful service and kindness of everyone at the Palace Hotel on the 3rd floor, we felt very reassured and had a comfortable stay. Our child was also very happy, saying that among all the Hotels we have stayed at so far, this one had the kindest staff. Thank you very much.

I had been feeling worn out, so I made a same-day Reservation because I wanted to soak in the Onsen. Since it was a weekday, I was able to relax and enjoy the Onsen at a leisurely pace. Even though it was reasonably priced, dinner felt luxurious—there was simmered golden eye snapper, which really impressed me. Everything was delicious, and I felt refreshed. The staff were also kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

This property, located in the highly popular area of Hayama, features a unique layout designed to maximize space. The second floor houses the bedrooms, while the third floor includes the living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area, bathroom, and balcony. The fourth floor offers a rooftop space with an elevator for convenience. However, please note that the parking space on the ground floor is quite narrow and directly faces a residential road, which may make parking challenging during certain times of day. If your vehicle exceeds the designated size limit for this parking spot, there is a coin-operated parking lot available diagonally across from the property. Inside, every corner of this facility is impeccably clean and well-organized. From the third-floor living room, you can enjoy stunning views of both the ocean and Mount Fuji (photos available). The facility provides excellent comfort and functionality for guests. Additionally, there is a bus stop with frequent service conveniently located right in front of the property—perfect for accessing dining options near Zushi Station or other nearby areas.

The room was clean, and the service was pleasant, making my stay very enjoyable. Although it was a short walk from American Village, it was just right for a stroll. Along the way, there were traditional steak restaurants and Okinawa soba shops, so finding meals wasn't an issue. There were also plenty of dining options along Route 58, making it hard to choose what to eat. The Chatan Town Museum was new and clean with easy-to-understand exhibits about the town's history. The beach at Sunabe Baba Park was also beautiful. With so many attractive spots around the hotel, I look forward to visiting again!
