This was my first visit to Zamami Island.\n\nI believe the island’s charm lies in its stunning Kerama Blue sea and the simple, unspoiled feel of a village that has not been overly developed as a resort. While many Accommodations here are older, guesthouse-style places, this Hotel was stylish and very clean.\n\nI had seen some Reviews saying the Room was small, but it had calm, blue-toned interiors that felt relaxing, and we could also see the harbor from the window. Despite the listed square meters, there was a comfortable layout with a spacious bathroom as well, so it did not feel cramped at all.\n\nThey also provided Shuttle Service to the port (thank you so much—we had a lot of luggage), and all staff were very kind. I also appreciated being able to take a hot shower even after checkout, which allowed us to fully enjoy the beach until departure.\n\nDue to ferry cancellations we could only stay one night, but I think it would be perfect for a Multiple Night Stay to relax and take things slow.\n\nThank you very much.

We enjoyed crab as a family. The Onsen was small and didn’t feel like a special getaway; it felt like a bath at home, and only two people could use it at a time, which was stressful. The service was good.

Even on rainy days, the indoor facilities are spacious and well-equipped, so the kids had plenty to enjoy. The thoughtful attention to detail, including the amenities, was excellent.

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.

Ayu no Kaze is located in a residential area up a fairly steep hill from downtown Ito. Since the nearest drink vending machine and 7-Eleven are further down the hill, it’s best to buy anything you may need before check-in. We stayed in the Room called “Kochi,” which had a water dispenser. From the Room, you can enjoy panoramic views of Suruga Bay, Hatsushima Island, and Ito Station. Check-in, check-out, and all meals were handled in the Room, and it also came with a private open-air view bath with free-flowing hot spring water—making it a perfect stay-in Accommodation. The bath was slightly compact, but the tub was made of hinoki cypress, and the water was mild and wonderfully warming. Above all, being able to bathe anytime we liked was truly appreciated. Of course, we could also enjoy the scenery from the bath. Amenities covered everything we needed. Each guest is provided one bath towel initially, but extra towels can be brought upon request. We would have liked paper towels at the sink area and chairs in the Room. Meals included not only Izu-style seafood but also delicious beef; they were a satisfying Japanese-Western blend in both taste and portion size. Dessert and coffee were served after both dinner and breakfast as well. All staff members were pleasant, easy to talk to, and friendly. Both pick-up and send-off service were flawless. Even though it was raining, it made sense that they were fully booked.

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.

I hesitated a bit because it seemed more geared toward younger guests, but my old friend and I took a two-person trip just to relax somewhere with an ocean view. All the staff were kind and provided attentive service. This time we stayed in a cottage, and the ocean views were amazing both from the wooden deck and from the Room. We had BBQ for dinner on the wooden deck, and they kindly guided us then as well, so we had a great time. For breakfast, we were impressed by their commitment to using vegetables and eggs from 753. Next time, we’ll stay here with our family. Thank you very much.

We stayed with our dog! The weather was stormy on the first day, but thanks to the thoughtful care of the staff, we were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful evening. By midnight, the rain and wind had stopped and we could even see a starry sky. Thank you for such a peaceful, unhurried stay! The sheep Mee-chan and Grandma were adorable too. Collecting eggs was fun, and thank you for the egg souvenirs as well! We could dine in a relaxed atmosphere, and the sukiyaki was delicious. I felt it was slightly lacking without rice, but I was very satisfied overall. The scenery gets 100 points! Thank you very much for taking such great care of us!

My first trip to Fukui, and my first time driving on snowy roads. I headed there feeling anxious because a heavy snow warning was in effect, but I’m truly glad I went. We stayed for one night and two days to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. The snowy scenery was so beautiful—I could have watched it forever—and we had such a wonderful time. At night, we snuggled up with an electric blanket and slept warmly. In the morning, we played in the snow together, and the jacuzzi was so amazing that we used it twice! We didn’t use the meal service; instead, we shopped near the station, brought everything back, and cooked for ourselves. There were plenty of seasonings available too, so we really enjoyed cooking together. No Meals Included is highly recommended. It was such a wonderful Accommodation that I almost didn’t want anyone else to know about it. The staff member Mima was very kind—by morning they had cleared the snow off our car and even shoveled snow for us—so we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. We’d love to visit again. Thank you very much!!

We stayed for five nights during Silver Week. We enjoyed a peaceful and fulfilling time. It was also fun cooking ingredients we bought at a local supermarket. The sunset view from the window was beautiful and deeply moving.

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.

My check-in was late due to the ferry schedule, but they kindly accommodated me. In the living room, guests were happily chatting with the hosts! On the day I left, they saw me off even in the heat and took a commemorative photo with me! I had a very comfortable stay and would love to come again! Thank you very much!

I was looking for a Ryokan about an hour’s drive from Hakata where I could enjoy a sauna and great food, and that’s how I found this place. It seems this long-established Ryokan has been renovated into a Ryokan with saunas in every room. The Japanese-modern style was wonderful. There are few shared spaces, so it’s perfect for a relaxing stay-in retreat. The staff were very kind. It has the unique charm of a Ryokan—different from the service style of foreign-owned Hotels. The meals reflected the local flavors of Kyushu and Oita while also trying new ideas, and everything was delicious. Dinner was excellent, of course, but having hitsumabushi for breakfast was a first for me and felt refreshingly new. One of the condiments was yuzu kosho with grated daikon—another great new way to enjoy it. And of course, it was domestic eel! The sauna let us adjust the temperature, connect via Bluetooth, and the relaxation space was very comfortable. Since this is a Ryokan suited to an immersive stay-in retreat, I would have appreciated slightly later check-in and check-out times. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this Ryokan. Thank you!

This was our first stay as three families. The service 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.

This was my second stay, the first in seven years. The Hotel’s atmosphere—sunrises and sunsets from the rooftop and a jungle-like vibe—hasn’t changed, and it made me feel very nostalgic. There were notes explaining various creatures, along with booklet-like materials, and the Room was comfortable. We chose a plan with breakfast included; it’s a simple breakfast buffet, but it felt like eating Okinawan home-style cooking and was truly delicious. Even our children, who usually hardly eat breakfast, said it was tasty and ate a lot. I’m not sure when we’ll be able to visit again, but this is a Hotel I sincerely hope will be here for many years to come.

Kappo Ryokan Nihonkai Dinner: Boat Platter Enjoyed a luxurious meal with crab, sashimi, and clam rice, leaving us completely satisfied. The Room offered a great view of the sea.

Every year, I take a solo trip on my birthday, and this year I visited the Oki Islands for the first time. I made a last-minute Reservation while watching the weather forecast, but I was able to enjoy the Rosoku Island cruise in perfect weather. The Hotel may feel a bit dated, but it was spotless and well maintained, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious no matter what I tried. The large rock oysters paired perfectly with sake, making it an incredibly luxurious trip.

The building and Room have a retro Showa-era feel, but the Room was well cleaned and felt very tidy. I made a Reservation expecting good meals, and there were many dishes—every one was delicious. It exceeded my expectations. The children’s meal also had many kid-friendly options, and my child was happy. The staff were very helpful, and I’d like to stay here again when I’m in the area.

I stayed for three nights in late March. The property is family-run, and it had a very warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Room was spacious and well maintained. As mentioned in other Reviews, the breakfast was incredibly delicious!! The menu changed every morning, which made it exciting. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best weather during our stay, but we were able to see the stars early in the morning on our last day. There’s a hammock on the rooftop, so I also recommend it for anyone who wants to relax and stargaze. Next time, I’d love to watch the sunset too. It’s a little away from downtown, but even after drinking in the nightlife area, we were able to get back by taxi for around 2,000 yen. When I visit Ishigaki Island again, I will make a Reservation at Three Heart again. Thank you very much.

This was my first visit. About a 20-minute taxi ride from Kibune, after passing through a peaceful satoyama countryside, you’ll find this culinary Ryokan by the Sanzen-in temple gate. Upon arrival, the staff welcomed us with attentive service and treated us to shiso juice. The Room faced the garden and was a calming Japanese-style space. They said they bring Onsen water from Sanzen-in, and I was able to relax and unwind in the open-air bath. The lounge area was well stocked with drinks and ice cream, which was great. Dinner starts at 6:00 PM, but since we had a late lunch, they kindly let us delay it by 30 minutes, which really helped. The dishes were beautifully presented, and everything was delicious. The appetizer featuring an Aoi Matsuri festival float decoration included Chinese lantern plant (hozuki), which made me feel the season. The pike conger (hamo) and sweetfish (ayu) were also beautifully plated and very tasty. Everyone at the Ryokan was truly kind, and their courteous service made me very happy. The Shuttle Service by bus was also extremely helpful. I’d love to visit again. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.
