I stayed for 3 nights during a short business trip. The location near Makiminato was convenient, and the Room was clean. Although it requires a bit of walking, there are various Facilities within walking distance, making it suitable for vacation stays as well.

The Onsen Facility had few families or small children, so it was nice to use it in a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The water quality was good, and the Room was clean, making for a comfortable stay. However, we used the buffet for meals, and although we had high expectations due to the location next to the market, it felt a bit underwhelming and disappointing. For breakfast, it may be better to eat at Toyosu Market.

They promptly picked us up when we called from the port. The Room was upgraded for free as there was availability, and it was spacious and comfortable. It was also clean and well-maintained. The view from the bath was open and beautiful. For dinner, we enjoyed fresh sashimi, grilled small sea bream with salt, octopus shabu-shabu, boiled whole octopus, stewed large clams, tempura of a large conger eel, and octopus rice—all served freshly prepared in order. Everything was delicious. Breakfast had a wide variety of dishes that were all tasty; we ate everything and were completely full. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality!

It feels like a training center, but the bedding is new and the cleaning was well done. I would like to use it again.

It was a delightful space that made our time at the accommodation enjoyable during our multiple night stay on a long-awaited trip to Hakodate. The facility was excellent, and I definitely want to stay here again. As for my impressions, the windows were quite large, so having something like roll curtains would have been nice. Also, while there were three parking spaces nearby, I slightly wished there was one more space in front of the entrance.

A wonderful private rental Accommodation on Maejima Island, about a 5-minute ferry ride from Ushimado Port. The Room and Facility were spotless, and the bath offered spectacular views of the calm Seto Inland Sea and a beautiful sky. The meal was also excellent—super-fresh sashimi, plenty of small side dishes, and delicious grilled kama—with generous portions that left us completely full. Beautiful sunflowers were in full bloom on the island as well. It was a relaxing trip to Okayama. We’d love to visit again in spring or autumn. Thank you!

This Accommodation is an entire private house, so it may feel a bit oversized for two people for one night. However, since we had previously stayed in cramped business hotels, the sense of space here was on a completely different level, and it really helped us recover from the day’s fatigue. There are many Rooms, including some hideout-like spots, and there are also two toilets, so I think it’s ideal for groups staying multiple nights—especially for those who want to cook for themselves. That said, perhaps because it was during a holiday period, the bathroom cleaning didn’t seem to be done in time, and the drain was dirty. It was a bit disappointing given how great everything else was. Overall it was excellent, and if we have another chance next time, we would definitely like to stay again.

Facing Miyuki Street, the surrounding area was easy to walk around. It was convenient to have a convenience store (Lawson) and the Shirahama Bus Center nearby. The unit bath includes a toilet with a bidet function. Wi‑Fi was available, but the signal showed only one bar. The door lock is secure, but it felt unusual to carry a standard key when going out. The Room was on the second floor, and there are only stairs, so please be careful if you have heavy luggage.

Although the weather felt like the rainy season had returned, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the observation room (Gekko). Because the building is located on a hill, we had a clear view of the Shimanto River and the surrounding mountains. The Onsen water was excellent, with a slightly silky texture. For dinner we chose Sawachi cuisine featuring local dishes, and this time it was served as individual small plates rather than one large platter. Overall, I think it was a truly wonderful Accommodation. However, please drive carefully—the Accommodation is reached only after an extremely winding mountain road (narrow roads). Also, although it looks like it’s only about 5 minutes to town (convenience stores, etc.) on the map, as mentioned above it’s up in the mountains, so at night it’s pitch-dark and very dangerous! If you want to bring alcohol or cigarettes (the smoking area is outside the building), I recommend buying them before check-in. One more thing: they lend you samue loungewear, and it was made from incredibly comfortable fabric—perfect to wear. (If they sold it, I definitely would have bought it! It really was that comfortable.) I’ve stayed at several places near the Shimanto River before, and I can genuinely recommend this one. Lastly, thank you very much to all of the staff.

It felt homey and very comfortable. The Hotel staff were kind, and the Onsen was very relaxing. I also appreciated being able to use the laundry freely. I would like to stay again.

A very calm Accommodation where you can relax to the chorus of frogs. It has both a day-use Facility and overnight Accommodation on the same property. The Onsen is a mildly alkaline simple hot spring, gentle on the skin even with multiple baths—ideal for guests who want to soak several times during their stay. Dinner surprised me with its sheer volume—in a good way. Dish after dish keeps coming, so I recommend skipping lunch before you take it on (lol). You can fully enjoy Kumamoto specialties such as kuruma prawns, sea bream, and kibinago (silver-stripe round herring). The Facility itself is not a luxury Hotel, but that’s exactly what makes it appealing: a relaxed place loved by locals where you can truly unwind. If you’re tired of excessive service, this laid-back atmosphere will feel genuinely restful. Personally, I think in rural areas this kind of unpretentious comfort suits the setting better than luxury or over-the-top service. Given the amount of food, the pricing feels fair. There might also be demand for a slightly smaller meal at a lower price point; however, there are Airbnb options at similar prices even without meals, so I consider it reasonable overall. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

This was my first stay, and the service was excellent. The hospitality was truly impressive. It’s a Hotel I’d like to stay at again. I stayed in a suite Room this time, but I felt the amenities were a bit lacking. It would be helpful if items like lotion were provided in the Room. The shower was slightly difficult to use, and the shape of the bathtub forces you into a reclining position, so you need to be cautious (laughs). However, the Room itself was lovely. The view was beautiful, and both the bed and pillows were comfortable. Room service was great as well. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! I even thought about coming back just for breakfast alone!

The Room was clean, but I was disappointed that a distinctive odor often associated with foreign guests remained. I understand that people from many countries stay here, but as a Japanese guest, the smell was noticeable. Since sensitivity to odors varies by person, some may not mind it, but I would like you to check for any lingering smells after each cleaning.\nOther than that, there were no issues, and I would like to stay again.

Found this accommodation on the way to Kanazawa. It was a plan featuring blackthroat seaperch, abalone, and crab. The facility is old, but the quality of the bath was truly excellent. The high salt content made it very warming, and I stayed cozy for a long time. The room was a bit disappointing. Since it was named "Miharashi," I had been looking forward to enjoying the view from the window, but unfortunately, the view wasn't great. However, dining in a private room offered a somewhat decent view. The food came in an overwhelming quantity! Everything was delicious and left me completely full. However, there wasn’t any menu or explanation about the dishes provided, which was slightly disappointing. Breakfast included an entire Pacific saury fish—quite surprising! Despite eating so much at dinner that I thought I couldn’t eat anymore, I ended up finishing everything because even the rice tasted amazing. I’m really glad we chose this accommodation for our stay!

This is the Accommodation I always stay at for diving. After finishing a dive, you can return to your Room still in your swimsuit, which is very convenient. The service is more than adequate for an Accommodation attached to a dive shop. The Rooms are well cleaned and equipped with a bidet toilet seat, so it’s one of the island Accommodations where you can stay with peace of mind. However, prices have been rising year by year, and I’d be happy if the in-room Wi‑Fi signal strength and the quality of the breakfast buffet improved a bit.

Perhaps because we visited on a weekday, the baths were almost private, and we could relax and take our time. The meals were excellent in both portion size and taste, and they were served in a private room. Since we had children with us, we really appreciated that. The Hotel staff were all very kind, and we would love to stay here again when we visit Shiga.
