One of my recent pleasures has been traveling during summer vacation with my daughter and grandchild. This year, we chose Kinosaki Marine World. The Accommodation was naturally Kinparo. For two days, we had unlimited entry and re-entry. That was very helpful. We enjoyed the attractions too—like the dolphin trainer experience—and had fun like kids again. Of course, my 6-year-old grandchild was thrilled as well. The meals and the Onsen were great. However, there is room for improvement in the children’s menu. Kids have sharp taste buds. Extra French fries would have been better. It’s similar everywhere, but meals for children are often disappointing. Other than that, everything was comfortable. All three generations had a wonderful time together.

I stayed at Amanemu, which I’d been curious about for some time, as my Accommodation for an Ise pilgrimage. The hospitality began right from the Shuttle Service at Kashikojima Station, and it immediately made me excited. The Facility was just as wonderful as I had imagined. For dinner, we enjoyed a set course in the dining room—delicious dishes that made the most of local ingredients, including spiny lobster and Matsusaka beef—and we ended up lingering so long we lost track of time. On the second day, we went to the thermal springs and the pool I’d been looking forward to. Both offered different atmospheres and views—it truly felt like heaven! Maybe it was just luck, but both were almost completely private. The pool butler was also very pleasant, and after we got out of the pool, they took us by cart straight to the thermal springs. On the way back, however, one female staff member drove a bit roughly and it made me nervous—so that’s my only small deduction. Even so, it was an outstanding Hotel in terms of both facilities and hospitality. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

The Hotel itself is only three years old and boasts modern architecture that provides an ideal stay. The staff offered warm hospitality and thoughtful service that made me feel truly welcome—thank you so much! P.S.: Right next to Torii Saki Club is Nakano Island Bridge—a perfect

For the past few years, I’ve been staying at the Phoenix Park Hotel whenever I visit Nago. Before that, I used other Accommodations as well. This Hotel is quiet, and 21st Century Forest Park (the beach) is just across the road—an excellent location, with a Starbucks also set to open on the beachside in mid-April 2026. The number of parking spaces in front of the Hotel is limited, but there is plenty of parking on adjacent lots (three locations within a 30-second to 2-minute walk), so it’s not an issue. There’s also a Seven-Eleven within a short walk (under 5 minutes). Emerald, a pasta & pizza place right near the Hotel, is delicious, serves generous portions, and offers reasonable prices. I plan to stay here again next time.

I made a Reservation right as Golden Week began. All the staff were kind, and it truly felt like a Japanese Hotel. A very pleasant Hotel!!

We were able to relax in a retro yet well-kept Room. The main meal, especially the tuna, was truly outstanding, and everything—from the delicious dishes and local sake to the freshly cooked rice—was wonderful, allowing us to enjoy a lovely time. It was incredibly soothing. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Everything was outstanding—the surroundings, the Room, the meals, and the service. How do you create such a comfortable place? Relaxing while gazing at the water was wonderful, and the activities were fun as well. The staff also seemed to truly enjoy their work, and their passion and sincerity came through. I felt refreshed both physically and mentally. I’d love to visit again!

Following our stay in January, we returned for another Multiple Night Stay. It was so comfortable that we changed our plans and came back to Ishigaki Island again this February, and had an amazing time. My companion went fun diving and encountered manta rays every day, and was thrilled to get closer than ever before. We look forward to staying with you again this year—and also on our already confirmed Reservation for next year!

We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much. If I could suggest improvements: I would be happy if there were a water dispenser. The inside of the microwave was broken. The kitchen stove heat was weak. Other than that, both the kids and adults were very satisfied. The pool was just the right size and we enjoyed it, and the sauna and cold plunge were easy to use. The view was great, and we had a really good time! We would like to visit again!

We stayed with 7 people across three generations. Both the living room and the terrace were spacious, and we were able to spend a very comfortable time. The grandchildren enjoyed playing games on the large TV, while the adults watched movies at night—everyone was able to enjoy their time in their own way. On the terrace, we relaxed with a beer while feeling the evening breeze; it was truly a luxurious moment. There was BBQ equipment as well, but this time we wanted to take it easy, so we bought what we liked at a supermarket about 10 minutes away by car and enjoyed sharing dinner together. The bathroom was also spacious, so we could soak and relax both body and mind. It’s about a 2–3 minute walk to the beach. In the morning, we went to watch the sunrise and spent soothing time listening to the sound of the waves—another wonderful memory. My daughter’s family loved it too, and saying “Let’s stay here again next year,” our stay for next year is already Done. In fact, I’m also planning to stay again next week with friends. We were also deeply touched by your thoughtful gift of sweets with handwritten messages for our grandchildren. It was a wonderful cottage that I can recommend for both family trips and trips with friends. Thank you again—we hope to return soon.

The staff were extremely kind, friendly, and always greeted us with warm smiles that truly healed our hearts. We are also grateful to the staff at the shop on the second floor for their helpful advice. It was a wonderful trip that our entire family enjoyed immensely—everyone ag

Having stayed across various accommodations previously alongside friends frequently before now—the exceptional hospitality shown here stood out most memorably above all others personally speaking so far yet again today alike likewise indeed truly honestly genuinely sincerely alto

We were extremely satisfied and had a wonderful summer vacation. The Room was spacious with a great view—perfect. We also used the lounge, and both the drinks and food were excellent, making it a very comfortable space. We would definitely like to stay again.

From afternoon tea to evening cocktails, we were amazed by the high quality. The comfortable atmosphere and the warm service from all staff made us want to return as soon as we left. We were also able to use the large public bath without it being crowded, which was wonderfully re

We visited this Hotel to celebrate a special anniversary. During the day, we enjoyed chatting in our Room, and with the Executive Floor benefits we spent an elegant time in the 1st-floor lounge while enjoying high-quality plated food and drinks. That evening, we had a celebratory dinner course at Ryuhou, the Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor. The atmosphere was luxurious and refined, and the staff’s hospitality was outstanding. We were able to fully enjoy an elegant and delicious Chinese course meal. They even added a congratulatory message to our dessert plate, and being able to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime anniversary at this Hotel—and at Ryuhou—made us truly happy! Our Junior Suite offered a panoramic view of Sakai City from a high floor. Separated from the bedroom area, there was a spacious sofa and table arranged comfortably. It was quiet, and since the in-room minibar was complimentary, it was perfect for relaxing and chatting while enjoying canned beer and snacks. The bathroom area is also luxurious, with a separate shower booth and toilet, plus a jet bath function. From our east-facing Room, we could also faintly see the UNESCO World Heritage site of Emperor Nintoku’s Tomb amid the cityscape of Sakai. As a local sightseeing recommendation: Daisen Park is about 10 minutes by car from the Hotel. Within its grounds there is an attraction where you can ride in a hot-air balloon; from about 100 meters up you can take in the majestic view of Emperor Nintoku’s Tomb. I highly recommend taking a short trip for this balloon experience! The views from above—Sakai City, Osaka Bay, the Ikoma mountain range, and keyhole-shaped kofun burial mounds—are breathtaking. This Hotel has been my favorite for many years. I’ve stayed here for anniversaries like this one or simply to spend relaxing holidays. During COVID-19 restrictions when it was difficult to travel outside Osaka Prefecture, I refreshed myself by changing my mood in Rooms with beautiful views. One year when a typhoon was approaching, I also stayed here for safety reasons and spent the night with peace of mind. No matter what is happening around us, all of your staff have always provided consistent hospitality and welcomed me with calm smiles—I am truly grateful every time. With so many wonderful staff members here, I’m convinced once again that this will continue to be a beloved Hotel for years to come! I will definitely visit again!

All the staff at the shuttle service, front desk, and restaurant were friendly, making for a very comfortable stay. The view from the room's window overlooked Kashikojima Island on the opposite shore. Although it was cloudy during our visit, the scenery was mystical and beautiful

We decided to take a family trip after seeing a YouTuber’s video. When you open the Room door, straight ahead is a fixed center window with an unobstructed ocean view. It’s a refreshing scene where the blue sea and blue sky feel as if they blend into one. For three of us, the staff prepared two beds plus a futon in the tatami corner. We rested very comfortably. The Onsen information explained that the source water is lukewarm, and that alternating between the mist sauna and the regular-temperature Onsen is effective, so we tried it. Dinner was a course meal. Because we made an all-inclusive Reservation, it applied during meals as well—we enjoyed wine and beer, of course, and even the apple juice was delicious. The presentation was beautiful, and we had freshly baked bread with olive oil. Breakfast was titled “Mom’s Breakfast,” and in the kitchen all of the women were working energetically. Having freshly cooked rice served straight from the pot was especially delicious. There was also a morning yoga class, which we joined. Even though it was mostly gentle poses, I sweated an incredible amount during the lesson. And after loosening up comfortably, it was time for another dip in the lukewarm source Onsen! The lounge offered sake tasting and a coffee machine as well, and for late-night snacks we had curry. There’s actually no TV in the Room, but we didn’t miss it at all. An aroma set with a wood-themed design was provided in our Room too, which also felt very relaxing. The Facility throughout the building was spotless. You can choose from samue loungewear, pajamas, or T-shirts for indoor wear—many guests paired pajama bottoms with a T-shirt as their outfit around the property. I kept thinking “I want to go again!” but since it takes five hours by car from our home, we won’t be able to visit for a while. Still, this is an Accommodation I’d love to return to. I hope this helps others.

The location, Facility, Room, Onsen, and breakfast were all of higher quality than expected. I changed my plan to go out early and explore the city until catching the midday bus, and instead enjoyed my stay so much that I relaxed by the poolside and unwound in my Room right up until check-out time. It would be even better if the front desk could consistently respond from the guest’s perspective.

We visited the Goto Islands for the first time to cheer on our family member competing in the Baramon King, and stayed as a family in a maisonette with a wide terrace. We compared Accommodation options from the time we made our Reservation a few months in advance and chose Kararito—and it was absolutely the right choice. We had some changes along the way, including adjusting the number of guests, and they handled everything kindly. They also arranged one meat-free meal for one of us, and thanks to the thoughtful staff, we had a very comfortable stay. We tried SUP for the first time as an activity. With their careful instruction, even someone who isn’t great at marine sports could enjoy it. Above all, dinner was outstanding! We had it 3 of our 4 nights. Each dish overturned what we expected from “Mexican,” delivering delicate flavors beyond imagination. The sauces and herbs paired with fresh local ingredients were exquisite—wine flowed easily and conversation came alive during a wonderful dinner time. The staff’s explanations of each dish were also clear and excellent. If I had one request, I would have loved to see about three breakfast options. The semi-open-air large bath was very relaxing, and our maisonette Room was bright, clean, and comfortable—making this a truly pleasant trip. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

All the staff were very kind and attentive, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. The views from the Room and throughout the Hotel were wonderful, and we enjoyed a lovely time along with delicious meals. This is a Hotel we would definitely like to stay at again when visiting Toba.
