Thank you for your hospitality. The view was wonderful, and we made lovely memories. However, I had requested a birthday cake with the message plate saying "Happy Birthday Mam," but it was written as "Man" instead. This changed the meaning, and I couldn't take any photos, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, the staff were very polite and attentive, and I am satisfied overall. Thank you very much.

We stayed for one night as a couple. The building's design was very stylish, and the bath was absolutely amazing! Although we couldn't use the pool during this season, it seems like a must-try in summer. The Room had a projector, but we couldn't figure out how to use it this time. There was some dust in small areas, so it would be great if cleaning could be more thorough. Also, clearer instructions on how to use the Facility would be helpful. Still, we had an extraordinary and special experience that we don't usually get to enjoy. We look forward to staying again in a different season!

We had a very comfortable stay! Thank you to the friendly staff for kindly showing us around the Facility. It was a villa we’d love to stay at again!

This was our first time staying here. We were able to enjoy a relaxing time with the whole family! Not only the pool but also the private beach was amazing! We experienced an extraordinary stay in a wonderful villa. I wish we had stayed one more night!

We visited this Accommodation on the last day of Silver Week, hoping to relax and reconnect with nature. We’ve stayed at glamping-style Hotels before, but since this Facility is run by an outdoor gear company, it felt even more like real camping. The Shuttle Service from Nagano Station made access very convenient for us as we were traveling by train. By chance, we were the only couple staying there, so it felt almost like having the place to ourselves. The dinner was incredibly creative, unique, and delicious. The paired drinks were thoughtfully matched all the way through dessert—truly a wonderful meal. Not only the dishes but also the bread and desserts were outstanding; they tasted as if a specialist had made them. Although the chef is young, he is clearly very talented. The nut bread at breakfast was especially memorable. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, so we couldn’t see the stars or sunrise. Still, we fully enjoyed burning plenty of firewood at the campfire bar and spending a lovely evening chatting over drinks while listening to live music. Although the open season is short—from early summer to early autumn—we would love to return during the autumn foliage season. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

The Hotel’s service was attentive down to the smallest details and truly wonderful. In the lounge, they asked about my child’s juice preference and kindly made a special peach juice for us, which really impressed me. The building is stylish, and there were also Yayoi Kusama prints that I was glad to see up close. I’d love to stay again.

Our three-generation family of six stayed for two nights. The property was still new and spotless, with an ocean view and plenty of space—great for the kids to spread out, and relaxing for the adults as well. We had a very comfortable stay. It wasn’t too far from the airport, and there were lovely cafes nearby as well as American Village, which made it very convenient.

With an unbeatable location where you can feel the ocean up close, we had a truly wonderful stay in a Room that reflects the owner’s attention to detail. Everything we needed was provided—tableware, cookware, seasonings, coffee beans and brewing equipment, even a SodaStream and a water purifier—so our stay was extremely comfortable. The selection of dishes was also beautiful and made our meals look even better. Above all, we were soothed by the warmth and kindness of the owner couple. We have stayed in many places before, but this became the most special one of all. Thank you very much for taking such great care of us.

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.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by this special Hotel that felt like being abroad. Every detail was beautifully designed, and we were able to relax. We spent a peaceful time together as a couple. The living room was spacious and even had karaoke. This time it was just the two of us, but it’s a Hotel we’d love to use with a larger group such as friends or our daughter’s family. We would definitely like to stay again.

It was a wonderful building and a clean Room. We could feel the thoughtful attention in everything, including the kitchenware and bathroom amenities. The view was amazing, and the sunset was beautiful. We were slightly bothered at times by people fishing passing in front of the house, but otherwise it was perfect. We would like to stay again.

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.

Ever since I discovered Shukabura on an accommodation booking site a few years ago, I had been dreaming of staying here someday. The owner couple are friendly and down-to-earth. With just the right sense of distance, they respected my privacy while offering thoughtful care that anticipated every need. Not only the beautiful hill scenery, but also their warmth is a major reason this place makes you want to “come back home” again. Every piece of villa decor was so lovely I wanted to photograph it, and finding the charming little items placed throughout felt like a treasure hunt. The compact interior had everything I needed, and as someone whose hair tends to explode in the morning, I was genuinely impressed that there were even two types of hair irons provided. The cosmetics and bath/hair care amenities also smelled wonderful—I ended up lingering in the bath longer than planned. The local ingredients prepared for breakfast were all surprisingly delicious, especially the vegetables. I couldn’t stop tasting them just to check doneness—and even bought extra vegetables at a local farmers’ market. As someone who enjoys cooking (not necessarily claiming I’m good at it), I loved making my own meals while admiring the stunning view from the living room, making time spent in the Room truly special. This trip was a solo journey for self-care made possible by warm support from those around me. During my stay there were many rainy or cloudy days and strong winds, so it might not be considered “good weather” in general. Even so, there were sights I could only experience because of these conditions: a rainbow after the rain; layered clouds drifting by; a sky changing moment by moment; wheat rippling in the wind; and white buckwheat flowers swaying gently. This stay reminded me once again that Biei’s charm isn’t limited to sunny days. This was my seventh visit to Biei. The colors of the hills, shades of the sky, shapes of clouds, and growing trees all look different each time—no matter how many times I come back over time, there is always something new that moves me. Next time, I’d love to visit Biei in midwinter—still unknown to me—and watch snowy scenery from Shukabura. Thank you very much for such a truly fulfilling stay for both body and mind.

This was our third stay at Roof Yureya. No matter how many times we visit, the warm hospitality never changes, and it truly puts us at ease. The staff’s sense of distance is just right, and it feels so comforting—like coming home. Above all, the greatest charm is being able to spend plenty of “family time” that you could never experience at a Hotel. Instead of splitting up into separate Rooms, we can gather around the irori hearth, relax on the veranda, take a bath whenever we like, and enjoy the sauna or fireworks whenever we want. It’s a truly luxurious space where conversation naturally flows. We also appreciated being able to leave meals to the staff, which helped us forget the busyness of everyday life and spend unhurried time together as a family once again. We’d love to visit again in another season. Thank you as always for such a wonderful stay.

My children really enjoyed it. We wanted to choose the outdoor BBQ Plan, but it was too cold so we decided not to. We’d like to stay again during summer vacation. Also, we forgot our child’s backpack and asked you to send it cash on delivery, but you sent it prepaid. It’s rare to find service like this, so we were very satisfied.

We stayed with two families (six people). The Facility was clean and well equipped, and we had a comfortable stay. We would love to stay again!

The dog run is incredibly spacious—and beautifully maintained! It felt like a waste with just one miniature dachshund. The BBQ facilities are amazing too. It was a very windy day, but we had no worries at all. The food was great and delicious. The Room was just right, and it was very convenient that the bathroom, washbasin area, and toilet were separate. It’s close to Lake Biwa, and it felt like a private beach—looked like you could even swim there. We’ll definitely be back! We’re also looking forward to the camp site and RV site opening soon. Thank you very much.

Although I’ve visited Okinawa many times, this was my first stay here.\nWe chose the Pool Executive Suite (2 Bedrooms), and it was incredibly spacious and open—best of all, we could use the pool anytime!\nThe kids were thrilled, and the adults joined in too; we ended up swimming and playing over and over.\nHaving a washer-dryer in the Room was a huge help—we’d wash and dry our wet clothes right away, then head back to the pool again the next day.\nIt was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t see the ocean because of all the trees in front of the pool, but at night it was fun spotting bats flying around, cats wandering by, and looking for other unusual creatures.\nSince no one could see us, we were able to truly relax without thinking about anything.\n\nThe beach just a short walk away was full of nature, with gentle waves—it was truly beautiful.\nWe snorkeled as a family, and we really appreciated being able to borrow beach chairs and parasols.\nWe went to watch the sunset, and after being told we might be able to see fireworks, we went out for that too. We visited the beach several times—the sound of the waves and peaceful atmosphere felt cleansing. It became our best Okinawa trip ever.\n\nAs for meals: breakfast—the Japanese set meal was absolutely delicious. We chose Japanese breakfast all three mornings of our 3-night stay.\nFor dinner, we tried à la carte at the restaurant once; everything was excellent and we were very satisfied!\n\nIf I had to mention one small point:\nThe Room Facility is perfect overall, but despite having a kitchen and cooking tools, the refrigerator is extremely small—like one you’d find in a Business Hotel...\nWe couldn’t chill wine in it, so we asked to store it in the Hotel cellar. Considering how well-equipped the Room is otherwise, I wish there were a slightly larger refrigerator.\n\nThis is a pleasantly intimate Hotel overall, so I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet stay.\nAll staff members were attentive and wonderful.\nIt turned into our best Okinawa trip ever—we’d love to return someday!

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!
