I was able to relax and rest well. The breakfast was delicious, and it even included sashimi.

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.

A condominium with a kitchen, a 10-minute walk from the station and 3 minutes to the beach. It was very convenient since we didn’t have a car. Self check-in is unmanned, but when there was an issue with the screen, staff responded immediately by phone, which made us feel at ease. It was wonderful to cook and dine while enjoying the ocean view from the window. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and other essentials. The Room is spacious and clean, with a living area and dining area, so you can relax comfortably.

We stayed with our dog. Despite the unfortunate weather, we were able to create wonderful memories. The Wi-Fi signal was a bit unstable in the bathroom and at the back of the loft, which was slightly concerning.

The room had a nice atmosphere in a quiet location. It was raining on the day, so it was convenient that the room was located just above the parking area. The washing machine comes with detergent, and there is also a gas dryer. Dishes, dishwashing detergent, and amenities are provided. Please note that pajamas are not included, so you will need to bring your own.

This was my third stay, and as always, the cleanliness and stylish interior made for a very comfortable experience. We stayed for two nights, but on the last day, my entire family didn’t want to leave... It became another wonderful memory this year. The staff's excellent service was greatly appreciated. We look forward to staying again next time! P.S. Regarding the bathroom issue I mentioned in a previous review: when taking a shower, water tends to spill onto the bathroom floor due to gaps in the glass door. Perhaps using adhesive strips or rubber seals available at home improvement stores could help prevent leaks? Additionally, the handheld showerhead cannot be fixed properly as it tilts downward on its own. On our second day, we also couldn’t fill up the bathtub; it seemed like an error where it mistakenly detected that it was already full—pressing "auto" would result in music playing after about a minute and then stopping without filling up the tub. I would appreciate if these issues could be addressed. Thank you for your consideration!

This was my first stay here. The Room was far more beautiful and spacious in person than it looked in the photos and videos online. It felt luxurious, completely different from home, and allowed us to enjoy a truly special, out-of-the-ordinary time. Being able to do laundry was a huge help. There were also plenty of items provided for hanging lots of clothes properly. The Accommodation itself was wonderful, but the road partway there was narrow and bumpy, and cars can’t pass each other, which felt a bit inconvenient. I was happy that coffee beans and loose-leaf tea were provided, and that there were even two types of bath salts. As for drinks, I believe there was beer included, but since none of us could drink it, we took it home as a souvenir. If guests don’t drink beer, it feels wasteful—so it might be nice if guests could choose drinks for each person from a menu at check-in at the front desk so everyone can enjoy them. Still, I’m truly glad we chose this place. Thank you very much!

We stayed with seven people across three generations: my wife’s parents and our children. It’s a truly wonderful seaside villa where you could imagine living, and the appliances and Facility were all stylish, high-end choices. The large TV in the living room was especially impressive. Our 7- and 4-year-old kids had a blast playing in the terrace pool. Our parents were also able to relax under the same roof with their grandchildren, and they seemed very satisfied. This was our first time staying at this kind of villa, but we would definitely like to use a similar property again for trips with parents and children.

The location and building were perfect! At night, we enjoyed the rooftop terrace jacuzzi while gazing at the star-filled sky—it was an unforgettable evening! We even saw shooting stars. We look forward to staying here again next year.

The owner is a woman, and many of the staff are women as well, so female guests can feel at ease. The breakfast and dinner prices at arrival were different from what they were at the time of Reservation, so it seems the rates had been raised without notice. The futon bedding is quite simple, so opinions may vary. Google Reviews can be a bit harsh, but the Accommodation staff were kind, everything was kept very clean, and it felt like staying at a cozy countryside guesthouse—overall comfortable enough. There were guests from many countries, but everyone was quiet and well-mannered. You can’t see the sea from the Accommodation, but Aharen Beach is only a 2–3 minute walk away.

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.

It was my first time visiting the Ariake Sea in Saga Prefecture, and I was treated to a stunning open-air bath and excellent cuisine. I felt truly sorry for not being able to finish all the delicious food. Thank you to all the Ryokan staff for their warm hospitality. Although the Hotel is old, it has charm, and I found it perfect. I would love to stay here again next time.

Returning here after 4.5 years due to a job transfer, I can say I was very satisfied overall. First of all, there are plenty of private reservable baths, so I was able to relax without any waiting time. Meals are served in a private dining room, so even as a solo traveler I could eat at my own pace and feel completely at ease. One thing I thought would have been nice is an electric kettle for hot water, but considering the great value—luxurious meals and free private baths—I was more than satisfied. I look forward to staying again. Thank you very much.

The tent is equipped with a bed, refrigerator, and air conditioner, making it easy and enjoyable to go glamping. The kids especially loved it! The breakfast was incredibly delicious—highly recommended! The portions were large, and I wished I could take some home. There are shower rooms available, one for men and one for women, but you might have to wait at times. It's understandable though.

I was delighted to feel that this library was truly created by someone who loves the sea and books. It’s a wonderful traditional house, well maintained, clean, and very comfortable to stay in. I thought it would be even more convenient if there were a washbasin in the Room so I wouldn’t have to leave it as often. Still, my satisfaction exceeded that by far! It’s a long way, but I’d love to visit again!

We stayed on 9/21 as a couple with our dog. The space was just right for us without any waste! The mini dog run in front of the Room had grass clippings left as they were, so we had to start by clearing them outside the fence ourselves... The large dog run was completely unmaintained and overgrown with grass, which was disappointing since we were looking forward to using it. We scheduled dinner at 7:00 PM, but it was already dark, and the light at the entrance alone wasn’t enough. It would have been nice if there were outdoor lights near the table. However, the food was delicious, and we enjoyed a relaxing time. Most importantly, not having to prepare or clean up ourselves was the best part! The breakfast sandwiches were also very tasty. We were looking forward to watching the sunset but couldn’t see it from our Room, which was unfortunate. I forgot to ask if there are ocean-view Rooms available for guests with dogs in general. Despite some points mentioned above, we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much!

A 2-minute walk to Haraoka Pier (Okamoto Pier). From the Room you can also see the pier and Mt. Fuji, with the sea right in front—an unbeatable location. The building is old, but the Room has been nicely renovated; you lay out the futon and use it with fresh new sheets. There is no bathtub, only a shower, but there are also nearby day-use Onsen facilities, a roadside station, and convenience stores. If you don’t need luxury, it offers excellent value for money. Strawberry picking at the roadside station was fun too. It also has air conditioning, a TV, and Wi‑Fi. I’d like to come back and try SUP in the warmer season as well. The closest vending machine to the pier is also at this Accommodation—I enjoyed a warm coffee at dawn.

Barbecue facilities were available, and it was amazing. We had a wonderful New Year's experience.

We were captivated by the Sunset Sun Road, which we could enjoy from our Room, the large Onsen bath, the dining area, and the terrace. Both dinner and breakfast were thoughtfully prepared and delicious.
