I stayed here with my parents. Every dish at dinner was delicious, and my father and I really enjoyed our drinks. We were also moved by the beautiful sunset over Lake Togo that evening. We would love to visit again.

I’ve stayed here several times already. I usually book the Club Floor to relax with drinks in the lounge, and also to work out in the pool next door at Ren and soak in the Onsen. On day one, after check-in I headed straight to the lounge. The familiar staff welcomed me warmly, saying things like, “Today we have Taketsuru,” and “Your usual Blanton’s is right here”—which made me very happy. When it’s hot, beer is a must to start. Three draft beers plus a can of tomato juice makes the perfect Red Eye at just the right moment. I went out for an early meal (after 4 p.m., everywhere is quiet), then came back for whisky time in the lounge again. I enjoyed Taketsuru and Blanton’s on the rocks, with beer as a chaser. Iichiko from a flask mixed with orange juice was also delicious. For my next visit, I requested a good amazake—I’ve recently gotten hooked on drinking amazake mixed with sake. The next morning, I felt refreshed after an early soak in the Onsen—so relaxing. When the lounge opened at 10:00, I had one last beer and headed home satisfied. Thank you again for another wonderful stay.

I stayed at a Hotel with my parents, who grew up in Kobe, where we could enjoy a great view of Kobe’s night scenery and also use the club lounge, and it became a wonderful memory. The club lounge staff were excellent as well, and my parents were very pleased. Thank you. I would like to stay again.

The sunset view from the bath was absolutely stunning. Displaying more photos of the sunset within the accommodation might be appreciated by guests. Even during this season, I stayed in a room on the pine side but could still enjoy a great view of the sunset. The open-air bath wa

The beach is right in front of the hotel and easy to access, and the food was unbelievably delicious—absolutely amazing! Many buffet restaurants start running low as closing time approaches, but here it felt like everything was replenished right up until the end. There was sushi, meat dishes, noodles, desserts, and curry—and every single one of them was incredibly good! The open-air bath also had a great view—everything about this stay was wonderful.

This was my second stay after visiting for the first time last year. Some of this may repeat what I said before, but… It’s a wonderful Hotel. I’ve stayed at all the Shigira Resort properties, and this one is just as good as Shigira’s three flagship Hotels. The room rates are reasonable, the interior is spotless, and the design is stylish and luxurious! The background music—featuring Begin and others—creates an amazing Okinawan atmosphere. The hospitality toward guests is outstanding. All staff were pleasant, and the housekeeping team also greeted us warmly, which made us smile too. The staff at the shop on the first floor were also friendly; they had a great selection of items and stayed open late at night, which was very helpful. It was busy at night as well. We plan to stay at Mirage in summer. And next year, we definitely want to visit Please Bay Marina again. My wife also said that from a woman’s perspective it feels luxurious and beautiful, and she was very satisfied. The breakfast buffet is delicious too.

We were able to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature. We are truly grateful and very satisfied with both the Onsen and the meals.

It was my first trip to Wakasa, and I made the booking after watching the weather closely. Part of the first-floor area was under construction, but it was kept clean and left a good impression. The Room was very spacious and comfortable. The view from the window was the sea. Given its age, some signs of wear are understandable. Overall, it felt like a quiet and pleasant Hotel. The meals were plentiful, and I thought they tasted great. Next time, I’d like to stay again when traveling to Mikata Five Lakes with my siblings and their spouses.

The Room is spacious and comfortable.

It was pleasant to take walks at this Hotel by the sea, and many of the staff were kind, so we had a very comfortable stay. Above all, the food was excellent. The seafood from the Genkai Sea and the sushi were all delicious.　However, the bath in our Room was fully visible from the beach and the road, which made it difficult to use. I feel blinds would have been more practical than curtains for both the window and the partition between the Room and the bath.

This was my second stay. Breakfast was a buffet of bread and salad, plus a choice of one main dish from three options, and it was delicious. Since the Accommodation is a renovated warehouse, the Room is a little on the dark side, but very clean. I would like to stay here again when I visit Onomichi. Thank you very much.

It’s truly set amid a rural landscape, and the sunset view from the coin laundry side was beautiful. The large public bath was just the right size and temperature, and even during Golden Week, we were surprised that three of us could stay in such a spacious room at this price.

I wanted to go glamping, so I searched around and made a Reservation here. The Facility and the food were, of course, excellent, but Mr. Hirao’s hospitality was outstanding—everything left me with only great impressions. Highly recommended for glamping beginners who have only ever stayed at a Hotel.

We stayed here to visit Toy Kingdom. We chose this Hotel because it was close—about a 6-minute drive from Toy Kingdom. The exterior looks a bit aged, but the inside was well cleaned and comfortable. We stayed in a Japanese-style Room on the ocean side. However, since it was on the second floor, trees blocked the view and we couldn’t really enjoy the scenery. The amenities were fine overall, but it was disappointing that there were no skincare items like lotion provided in the Room. Also, perhaps because it was summer, the bath water temperature was extremely hot. Our 7-year-old daughter kept going back and forth between the cold bath and the hot bath (lol), and our 5-year-old son didn’t seem able to get in. At the buffet, they grilled meat at a live kitchen station, and it was tender and very delicious. There was also a great variety of ice cream. It felt like most guests were families, so we thought this Hotel would be very comfortable for those traveling with children.

When I made my Reservation and shared my Room preferences, you kindly arranged a high-floor Room with an ocean view, just as requested. Thank you very much. Also, when my schedule changed due to the typhoon, the front desk staff responded flexibly—thank you sincerely. I will definitely stay at Smile Hotel again next time. Thank you very much.

Perhaps because it was before Golden Week and we visited during a season without fireworks, it was quiet and very comfortable. The in-Room bath with free-flowing hot spring water and the large public bath were both excellent, and the breakfast had plenty of variety—this has become an Accommodation I’d love to visit again. For my morning bath, I enjoyed a beer while leisurely looking out over Lake Toya; it was a truly luxurious time. As for service, perhaps because there are many international guests, we were suddenly spoken to in English, and there were quite a few moments where I felt the staff could use a bit more training—so I’m giving it a 4.

The salt-making experience from seawater was also great for our kids' learning experience, while enjoying barbecue dinners during sunset added another highlight of our stay. As for rooms—they were stylishly designed with comfortable tatami mats that made me wish I could stay lon

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.

I made a Reservation here because I was staying with my child and wanted a Room with an Onsen bath. Since you fill the open-air bath yourself, you can soak whenever you like, and at night the stars were beautiful—enjoying the Onsen under the night sky was amazing. The staff were very kind: they gave us sightseeing tips, and although the main building is just a short walk away, they also came to pick us up for dinner and breakfast. Dinner was more than we could finish, while breakfast was just the right amount. The building itself is old, but it was kept very clean, and we were treated with great care—overall we were very satisfied. A staff member will guide you, but if you are staying in an annex building you will drive close to it, so I recommend going to check-in without carrying your luggage.

The fresh fish sashimi was outstanding. The meat dishes were also delicious, and we were very satisfied. The service was courteous and attentive. I think this Accommodation would be comfortable with no issues for guests up to their 60s. As Tokiwaya is a traditional Ryokan, I felt there are many challenges in terms of accessibility. I stayed with my 95-year-old mother, so I made a Reservation for a Room with a private bath, but there were many steps inside the Room and the bathtub was deep (my mother was able to step over it), which unfortunately made it difficult to use.
