It was my birthday, and I was happy to receive a gift of flowers. The view from the Room was also very beautiful, and I was able to spend a wonderful anniversary. Thank you very much.

The sauna’s automatic löyly was excellent. The 8.6°C cold bath was amazing. The water pressure in the “out-of-body” jacuzzi was truly impressive. It was a top-class large public bath.

Since we stayed here for golf, unfortunately there were no meals. It is a traditional old-style building, but it was more than adequate; it also has an Onsen and EV charging facilities, so we did not feel inconvenienced at all. At this price, it was about one-third of what you would pay in Atami or Hakone, and we were very satisfied.

Shikotsuko Onsen was very quiet, with no convenience stores or restaurants nearby, so we were able to relax peacefully. The front desk, lobby lounge, and restaurant areas felt calm, spacious, and comfortable—perhaps also because the Hotel was not fully booked that day. I have often stayed at small guesthouses and pensions recently, so it was great to experience proper Hotel-style service again, even though this was an annex of a major Hotel. Meals at a Ryokan are often more than I can finish, but here the portions were just right. The pasta in particular was excellent. I was also very satisfied with the services such as drink service at dinner, 24-hour coffee service, gelato after dinner (especially the liqueur-topped gelato, which is available for an additional fee), replenishment of towels and water after dinner, and more. It was also nice that we could use the main building’s private open-air bath at a very reasonable price. The complimentary ramune soda was delicious as well. Two points concerned me: first, the Hotel’s Reservation page stated that they would contact guests by phone or email a few days before arrival for confirmation, but we did not receive any contact. Since it also said that staying might not be possible if there is no response, I called the day before; they simply replied that my Reservation existed without any apology for the lack of notice. Second, while the large in-room jacuzzi filled quickly despite its size and was enjoyable once inside, it was difficult to get out because it is deep and high-sided. This could be dangerous for older guests; having steps or at least a non-slip step stool would make bathing much safer.

I traveled to the coastal area of Iwate and stayed here. A typhoon was approaching, so I was worried I might not be able to see the ocean right in front of me, but the weather held up on the day of my stay and I was able to enjoy the view. The meals featured mainly seafood, and the abalone in particular was incredibly delicious. I also appreciated the complimentary ice pop after bathing. It’s not a brand-new building, but my Room was clean, and all of the staff were warm and welcoming. Next time, I’d love to stay again on a sunny day. Thank you very much.

First of all, the staff’s polite and attentive service is wonderful. They even provided a brand-new sponge, and although there was no vacuum cleaner, they lent me a Quickle Wiper. In any case, it’s a very kind Hotel. It was excellent. Thank you very much.

The Room is Western-style, clean, and the beds are spacious, so five of us could sleep comfortably. The bath and meals are at Kotohiki Kairo next door. The bath was large and relaxing, and we enjoyed a delicious meal while watching the sunset over the sea.

I visited with three friends. The Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The food was also delicious, making it a wonderful memory. It was my first time visiting Wakasa, and I would love to come again.

This was an excellent Onsen where you can truly appreciate what “free-flowing from the source” means, and we were very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. The somen noodles in sea bream broth were delicious. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with an open-air bath, and it was soothing to see crabs in the garden and by the open-air bath. Time passed slowly, making this a relaxing Accommodation where we could unwind.

We decided to visit an all-inclusive Hotel as a family, and the pool was another big draw, so we stayed here for one night. Our Room was on the top floor facing the ocean, and the view from the window was amazing. First, we went down to the rocky shore right below the Hotel to admire the beautiful sea, then had some fun in the pool before heading to the large public bath. After that, we enjoyed a beer in the lounge and went to dinner. The food was delicious, and we ended up drinking quite a bit. Breakfast on day two was also excellent. Even after checkout, we went back into the pool once more and took a shower before heading home. We fully enjoyed the all-inclusive plan and had a wonderful weekend. Thank you very much.

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 always stay here on the last day of my trip to Okinawa. This time as well, I stayed in the Club Lounge. After checking in at the lounge, I enjoyed a truly luxurious and relaxing time while having an Orion beer. I had a great time at the pool with my children, and with easy access to Kokusai-dori, we also enjoyed shopping and dining. I look forward to staying again next time.

We stayed as a family with our 2-year-old son, and just as the title says, we truly had an incredibly satisfying 4-day, 3-night stay. The breakfast and dinner meals were lavish every time, with an amazing variety of dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious! Since it was the season for it, they prepared a daily lottery draw for children, and we could also enjoy fireworks in the Facility garden. We were especially grateful that they lent us a fireworks set and even collected the leftover fireworks afterward. Both the outdoor pool and the Onsen had areas designed for children, which we really appreciated. All of the staff were warm and friendly, chatting with us in a casual way—our son looked very happy too. This was an Accommodation we would definitely love to return to. Thank you so much!

The Shuttle Service driver was very kind and welcomed us with a smile, and also saw us off when we left, which felt very pleasant. We were able to relax and enjoy the entire Accommodation, the Onsen, and the meals, and we were satisfied overall. However, one of the highlights is probably the lounge, but the beer in the lounge server had run out, and even after we informed staff it wasn’t replenished promptly, which was disappointing. Other guests seemed disappointed as well. Since many guests use it during busy check-in times—and I think many people come specifically for the lounge—I would like to see some improvements from the Accommodation side, such as having one staff member stationed there during that time slot only, or if staffing is difficult, providing canned beer just for those hours.

I made a Reservation to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday. Since the Room was not a suite, it felt moderately spacious and not especially luxurious, but the view was great, and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. The welcome chocolates were also delicious, and she was very happy. Thank you as well for accommodating our request to add a birthday plate at dinner.

This was my first time in Toi, and I thoroughly enjoyed the quality and temperature of the Onsen. The staff's attentiveness was excellent, making for a very pleasant stay. The Ryokan's facility felt a bit old but had its own charm, which I found quite nice in its way. The Onsen was well-maintained and clean, leaving a good impression. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was very quiet at night, allowing me to have a restful sleep.

This was our second stay, following last year. Spacious and comfortable—our 7- and 5-year-old kids were thrilled and kept saying, “This place is the best!” Last year breakfast was Japanese-style, but this time it was Western-style, which seemed easier for the kids to enjoy.

The Facility is wonderful and the location is outstanding! There are no other Accommodations nearby, so it’s a very quiet environment. The beach is just a short walk away, and I was able to relax and enjoy three peaceful days. I would definitely stay again next time! That’s all.

The hospitality of all staff, starting with the front desk team, was outstanding. I have stayed at many Hotels, and this was the highest level of hospitality I have ever experienced.

Dinner featured a luxurious platter of Ise lobster, golden eye snapper (kinmedai), and turban shell (sazae) – all absolutely delicious. The tuna sashimi was exceptional! The kinmedai rice dish was also delightful and very filling. Breakfast served in-room was equally satisfying.
