Smooth handling of a same-day online reservation. The facility near Lake Biwa was clean and well-maintained, allowing for a pleasant stay. After a long journey by land from Kyushu, I was able to relax and feel rejuvenated at the accommodation. Thank you very much.

We stayed here during summer vacation with three generations of our family. They arranged our Rooms next to each other and emailed us the meal times in advance, so we felt at ease even before our stay. When we arrived, the staff were very courteous. The view from the window was amazing!!! I thought the meal might be too much, but it was delicious and we enjoyed everything all the way to dessert. The pineapple pudding dessert was especially tasty. When we told them we were going to Inuyama Castle the next day, they printed a map of the area for us and also helped set up table tennis—thank you so much. The Facility is a little old, but our satisfaction more than made up for it!! We would definitely like to stay again.

Thank you so much for your hospitality! The receptionist's warm and cheerful demeanor made our entire family feel at ease. The area has a youthful vibe with nearby convenience stores, restaurants, and souvenir shops, yet it was quiet at night, making our stay completely stress-free. Being so close to the beach was incredibly convenient—we could easily return even after a late-night visit. There’s also a foot-washing station nearby, which made things super handy after spending time by the sea. It was so comfortable that I’d love to live here! Enoshima is within walking distance as well, making it an excellent choice for long-term stays.

The terrace was spacious, and the late check-out time allowed us to enjoy a relaxing morning sipping coffee while gazing at the sea. The room was clean and perfectly sized for two people. However, we felt a bit hesitant about using the jacuzzi on the terrace, so we decided not to use it this time. As mentioned in other reviews, parking was quite challenging, especially since we had an MT car, which made it a bit more difficult. Other than that, everything was wonderful. It made us want to stay longer next time! We also appreciated the coffee, tea, snacks, and popcorn provided—they were such a nice touch. Thank you for giving us such a lovely experience!

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.

This was our second visit to this glamping site. Being able to enjoy glamping with no preparation and light luggage is a huge plus for those without camping experience, and the Facility felt clean overall, making it comfortable and reassuring for everyone from children to adults. Each Room dome has its own concept; the color schemes were beautiful and the amenities were well equipped. There were a mini fridge, electric kettle, instant coffee/tea/green tea, air conditioning/heating, plug-in insect repellent, a Bluetooth speaker, outlets with USB ports, blankets, a hanging rack, an external toilet & shower room (strong water pressure, adjustable temperature settings, and a washlet toilet), as well as a BBQ space. We chose the Plan with dinner and breakfast included. Everything was extremely delicious—and there was more than enough food. At night (depending on the weather) there was also a campfire option, which really added to the camping atmosphere. For future improvements, I’d love to see more activity options such as bamboo dragonfly toys or cup-making using bamboo; an athletic play area; seasonal events like fireworks or water-gun games; snowball fights or roasted sweet potatoes; or hands-on experiences like working in nearby rice fields or vegetable gardens. There is also a simple lookout platform in the bamboo grove that I don’t think was there last year. If the weather and timing are right, you can apparently see the ocean, townscape, and sunset from there. Outdoor voices tend to carry slightly into the domes, so I felt guests may need to be mindful of each other at night. The free-drink area was relatively close by and convenient to use. The beach is nearby as well—an ideal place if you simply want to relax. They also offered free rentals such as badminton sets and board/card games. We would love to come again.

Waking up when your body feels ready—pure bliss in the morning. Beyond the window, a deep blue sea and a white lighthouse in the distance. The lively chatter of people collecting shells on the beach and the sound of waves feel as if they could drift in from anywhere. Time here is endlessly quiet... Then comes the night pool, where adult time begins. A half moon casts a faint path of light across the sea. Floating on your back and gazing up at the sky—when the half moon slips behind the clouds, an overwhelming canopy of stars spreads out above. Every time I visit Hoshinoya, I’m reminded that each Facility has a completely different atmosphere—and that’s part of its greatest appeal. Here in Okinawa, there is nature and a perfectly crafted space designed to gently help cleanse both body and mind. And beyond that, hospitality that surpasses expectations awaited us.

Even when we arrived early 10 years ago on a family trip, they kindly let us use the pool. This time we stayed as a couple, and just like 10 years ago, all the staff were warm and welcoming, making our stay very comfortable. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much to the Taiwanese attendant who took such good care of us.

It feels a bit old, but that’s part of the charm. The Onsen was amazing! I could drink as much beer as I wanted, enjoy plenty of snacks, and relax in a calm atmosphere. It truly felt like we were visiting right in the middle of nature, which was fantastic. This time we planned a 6-day trip, and I’m glad we started on day one at this Accommodation!!

This was my third visit to Itoshima, the first in two years. Last time, after heavy rain the day before, it suddenly turned into a midsummer day, and the breathtaking sunset—changing moment by moment against the vast ocean—was truly moving. I enjoyed delicious food and the relaxed pace that only an all-inclusive stay can offer. This time had a different atmosphere and some changes. Arriving in a downpour with luggage, I climbed the stone steps to check in. What surprised me right away was “10:00 checkout”! I never expected it to be an hour earlier—maybe a pitfall of being a repeat guest? I was told it was changed because lunch service starts at 11:00 with reservations… but 10:00 still feels far too early. Since we spend about four hours round trip for an overnight stay, we want to relax as much as possible. If possible, I hope you will consider setting check-in to 16:00 and returning checkout to 11:00—I would be glad if this request from repeat guests reaches you. This time we dined while watching the post-rain evening scenery, and the food was just as delicious as ever—I was very satisfied. The soup course in particular had wonderful Japanese dashi flavor and was deeply comforting, and the tempura made from fresh squid (prepared after sashimi) was especially appreciated; as someone who loves cooking at home, having a professional fry dishes is a real treat. It was also disappointing not to see any of the staff members from previous visits. The photo shows “Itoshima Bay—an evening view after the rain.”

Having had a great impression last time, I decided to return after several years, and my positive feelings have only grown. First, the accommodation is impeccably maintained and cleaned in every corner, making for a very pleasant stay. This level of care is not easy to achieve. The meals are heartfelt and allow you to fully enjoy the bounty of the sea. Additionally, while the panoramic bath with an ocean view is not an onsen, it can be enjoyed in the morning as well and was spotlessly clean. The guest rooms and bedding are simple as it is a guesthouse, but yukata robes and bath towels are provided. It may not suit those seeking luxury ryokan services; however, for travelers looking for an enjoyable trip at a reasonable price, I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation.

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.

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay to participate in the Yuza Chokai One-Day Walk. On the day of the event, thank you for providing breakfast (set menu) and Shuttle Service to the venue early in the morning. The meals were delicious. After check-out, I appreciated the Shuttle Service to Fukura Station. I was able to use the neighboring day-use Onsen (Apon Nishihama). I took a nice nap on a chair by the open-air bath—it felt wonderful.

This was my first stay. The front desk staff were very courteous. There were complimentary drinks on the first floor, and the ice-cold draft beer was excellent. The Room was spacious and had a massage chair, so I could relax, but I couldn’t adjust the air conditioning—when I tried to operate it, it turned off. I filled the in-room Onsen right away and enjoyed a very pleasant bath, but my parent, who has difficulty walking, said the step was high and felt scary. Since everything is flat around it, I thought a handrail would make it safer. I understand this may be difficult as it is not barrier-free. I was looking forward to dinner. Everything was delicious, including salt-grilled ayu and chicken hot pot, and even the white rice was excellent. The children’s lunch plate was also generous in portion size, and my child happily bit into a big fried shrimp. However, there was one thing that concerned me. My child’s dessert (a mousse-like item topped with fruit) that came with the lunch plate was taken away partway through for some reason. Since I happened to be on the phone at that moment, I wondered why. After that, as if nothing had happened, the removed dessert was served to an adult instead, and jelly was placed for my child. I assumed it had been a mistake, but I believe an explanation should have been given. Taking something once served to one person and then serving it to someone else seems inappropriate etiquette-wise. At the very least, some explanation when bringing out the jelly for my child would have been appreciated. Overall it is a wonderful Accommodation; only the dinner service response bothered me. Thank you very much.

I’m satisfied and would be happy to stay again if I have the opportunity.

In addition to the splendid golden eye snapper, the sashimi and other dishes were also delicious and we really enjoyed them. The pudding was great too, but my personal favorite was the quiche. The owner, the hostess, and all the staff were kind and attentive. The Nekomatagi Championship was also fun. We were able to use the bath whenever we wanted for the most part. The guestbook mentioned facial lotion, but it wasn’t available in the bath area, so it would be even better if it were provided. With handmade town guides and other thoughtful touches, we felt a lot of warmth. It was a busy weekend trip, but a truly relaxing stay.

The Room was spotless. The view was beautiful. Everything about the location was perfect. On the day of our stay, we made a last-minute request to move from Building A-1 to Building A-2, and they kindly accepted and had it ready in about 20 minutes. During that time, they even served us tea at the café. All of the staff were truly wonderful! If I have a chance to visit Yamaguchi again, I’d love to stay here again, and it’s an Accommodation I can confidently recommend to others. By the way, the view of Tsunoshima Bridge and the sunset from the balcony at dusk was absolutely stunning!!! Building A-2 has a kitchen/dining area, so it was a great space for cooking and eating together (4 chairs). Also, although it wasn’t shown in the photos, there was a bedroom on the first floor! There’s also a small shower room. With two beds on the first floor and two on the second floor, there’s more than enough space for four people—you can stay comfortably and relax. When deciding on our booking, it was hard to understand the overall layout of the Room, and I felt like I couldn’t gather all the information from photos alone. So when we entered on arrival, we kept being surprised—“There’s space like this too?!” “Wow, it’s this spacious?!” It might be helpful if there were Instagram posts or similar that show an overall layout in advance. The nearby beaches were very beautiful as well, and if we travel again in summer, I’d love to come back here. Please let us stay again—thank you very much!

We stayed here to reunite with my son’s family from Osaka for the first time in a while. The weather turned out great, and we enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze, a stunning sunset, and plenty of nature—our kids were absolutely delighted. Collecting seashells on the beach, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, and fireworks made it a truly satisfying day. The staff member was very friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated how kindly he treated the children. The BBQ meat and breakfast were both delicious. Thank you for such a wonderful time—we’d love to visit again if we have the chance.

Very warm welcome from hotel staff, fantastic view from the balcony, comfortable stay and definitely will come back

We stayed here for our first family trip. Tendo was a wonderful place, and thanks to the Room and baths at Sakaeya Hotel, we had a very enjoyable trip. Thank you very much.
