Aoki Ryokan is a charming blend of Western and Japanese styles, with its blue roof and distinctive design—an Accommodation that gave me a great feeling even before I stepped inside. Fresh flowers were casually arranged throughout, the floors were spotless, and everything was impeccably clean. Perhaps because it is an old Ryokan, the atmosphere felt wonderfully balanced and calm. I usually suffer from insomnia when staying away from home, but here I felt completely at ease and slept very deeply—something that surprised even me. I also enjoyed listening to the proprietress’s stories (including one about Kunio Inatani, a pioneer of skiing in Japan) and savoring meals filled with mountain vegetables. It was truly relaxing both physically and mentally. As this is a historic Ryokan, old tools once used are also displayed; I was especially struck by the large saw used to cut ice from Lake Onuma, which made me imagine how demanding that work must have been at the time. To everyone at Aoki Ryokan, thank you for such a pleasant stay. Tokyo – Mariko

Thanks to the kind owner, we had a wonderful stay. It’s easy to see why so many guests return. For this price, it was amazing that dinner included sashimi, simmered fish, and a platter of fried dishes. The coffee at breakfast was also delicious. The building is old, but it was very well cleaned, so it didn’t bother us. The hot water was excellent as well. We’d love to stay here again next time.

Despite staying during the busiest season, the accommodation provided very flexible and prompt services such as early check-in and same-day BBQ equipment rental. Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy an amazing BBQ while admiring the beautiful scenery. The pool was clean with hardly any insects floating, making it pleasant to swim even in the morning. Additionally, the refrigerator was stocked with beer, juice, and tea—such thoughtful hospitality! Shopping was convenient as there were supermarkets, convenience stores, and a Daiso near Sesoko Island Bridge. Although I had seen reviews mentioning "many insects" and was a bit worried beforehand, there were almost none in reality. Measures like insect repellents and sprays were well-prepared, providing a sense of security. At night, we could see an incredible view of stars! The only minor inconvenience was having to use stone stairs when carrying luggage from the parking lot—it was slightly challenging. However, even considering that small issue, our stay was absolutely satisfying. This place has made it onto my list of "places I want to visit again"!

Everything was excellent overall. The location is right in front of the ocean, and you can walk to the beach. We enjoyed a luxurious stay with our dog. The BBQ ingredients were also very delicious. It would be nice to have lights by the pool and a microwave. We would like to visit again.

The Airbnb review rating was excellent, so I decided to stay for the first time. The result was absolutely amazing! I experienced breathtaking views and an extraordinary atmosphere. The scenery of Awaji Island was truly stunning, especially the sunset from the terrace and the refreshing mornings, which became unforgettable memories. Enjoying such spectacular views in a private space felt like pure luxury beyond everyday life! The well-equipped facilities allowed me to fully relax. With a pool and sauna available, my whole family enjoyed an entire day together! Sweating it out in the sauna, diving into the pool, and feeling refreshed afterward was exceptional—it completely washed away all our daily fatigue. While visiting other accommodations on Awaji Island, I found that such wonderful facilities in a rental villa are quite rare.

Opening the front door reveals an ocean view, and the Room has been beautifully renovated—clean, spacious, and wonderful. However, there was a lot of dog hair from a previous guest on the floor and sofa. The stick vacuum was out of charge, so we used the provided lint roller to clean. There was no liquid left for the vape-type insect repellent. Also, since there is no night light on the second floor, a stand light had been provided as an alternative, but it was broken. The floors did not feel thoroughly cleaned, which was a bit disappointing. The BBQ grill didn’t seem to get hot enough—at first I thought it might be broken, though now I think it may have been due to how it’s operated. That said, the area is a quiet residential neighborhood with a supermarket nearby. The view from the windows is amazing—you can see the sea—and at night the stars are beautiful. Most cooking utensils and seasonings are provided. There’s no TV service, but Wi-Fi is available and you can project Netflix and other content onto the wall for a home-theater experience. The interior has been renovated; upstairs is set up as bedrooms; and both the toilet and bath are very clean. The air conditioning works well. The best part by far is the continuously flowing open-air bath: both the indoor bath and open-air bath are natural Onsen. The round open-air bath is about 160 cm in diameter and can fit three people comfortably. It helped us forget everyday life and truly relax. We also appreciated receiving a paella meal kit as a seasonal perk—thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. We booked again because we trust that making a Reservation through IKYU won’t disappoint. Overall, it was very good—a wonderful time—and our dog enjoyed it too.

It would have been perfect if there had been an elevator.

The washing machine was not securely fixed, which caused the spin cycle to take longer, and the bathroom dryer timer could only be set for one hour. Other than that, everything was excellent. I appreciated the prompt response to my request for additional cooking utensils. It would be great if the provided pot were slightly larger. I would love to stay here again!

Check-in was easy, and we were able to relax with the family. The bath is a bit shallow, but it is sufficient. We would like to use it again.

I stayed for four nights as a base for my first trip to Okinawa. Additionally, I rented a set of pots, pans, and dishes (for a fee). The Nepalese staff at the front desk were always kind and helpful. I mostly left in the morning and returned at night, but they changed the towels daily and took out the trash, so it was comfortable. This time, I focused on sightseeing in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa, and Onna Village was in a perfect location, allowing me to visit various places. Thank you very much for your hospitality. I will definitely use your services again when I come to Okinawa.

I was worried because the Reviews I checked in advance were low, but I’m very satisfied. The Room was spacious, and the view toward Zenkoji Temple and the night scenery were amazing. The amenities were well stocked, and both the open-air bath and indoor bath were great. Since it was that time of year when the Room heating wasn’t on, it was cold, so I contacted the front desk and they brought me a fan heater. There were some stains and dirt on the carpet, and the amenities didn’t feel particularly luxurious, but at this price it’s more than enough. It seems like meal ratings are very low, but since my stay was No Meals Included, I can’t comment. If you go down about 10 minutes there’s a convenience store, and beyond that there’s an AEON mall, popular supermarkets, chain restaurants, and ramen shops—so even with No Meals Included there’s no problem. I’ll stay here again next year!!

The handmade breakfast was delicious. I would love to stay again.

We stayed here as our accommodation for a two-day trip to Tateyama. We enjoyed plenty of fresh seafood from Tateyama while using the terrace barbecue grill, all with a stunning view of the ocean right in front of us. The interior was very clean, and it was fully equipped with tableware and amenities, even featuring a luxurious sauna. There were four of us staying, but since it's a three-story building with ample space, it could easily accommodate larger groups as well.

I stayed here for triathlon training. As it’s a private guesthouse, it’s not a resort, but Maehama Beach is nearby and I was able to do plenty of cycling practice. The breakfast and dinner were delicious and gave me the energy I needed. I’d like to stay again when I come back to train. Also, the sunset from the nearby park was amazing.

If I had to mention a downside, the exterior and interior felt a bit worn, which made the atmosphere seem a little intimidating. However, the bath was clean and the Onsen water flows continuously, so it was amazing! The meals were delicious with no complaints, and since it was a buffet we really enjoyed it! One more thing… it was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t connect external devices to the TV. It can’t be helped given the Facility setup, but the game console we brought ended up being useless. We also wanted to mirror our smartphone screen on the TV, but that wasn’t possible either. We played cards and table tennis with my siblings instead, but it was still a little disappointing.

My son and I stayed for three nights for his entrance exam. During this period, there were relatively few guests, and the staff was very considerate, making our stay comfortable. The car-sharing system was also very helpful for us. The bath was nice, and the meals were plentiful and delicious, which was very satisfying! Above all, the staff is kind and warm, making it a recommended Stays. We would definitely like to use it again!

The Room was very clean. However, the heating was not very effective, and it took time for the Room to warm up. The basement bedroom had no heating at all.

It’s about a 20-minute drive to Takachiho Gorge, but we chose Kijiya because it’s an onsen Accommodation. We had reserved the first boat ride at Takachiho Gorge the next morning, so we stayed with dinner only. Dinner was delicious, with salt-grilled yamame trout, sashimi, tempura, and more. As expected, the onsen was wonderful. We checked out early in the morning, but it’s a great Accommodation where you can truly relax.

I was really looking forward to my stay. Unfortunately, it rained, so we couldn’t fully enjoy the ocean view, but the powerful rough waves were impressive in their own way and we still had a great time. The sauna also heated up to around 90°C in about two hours, so we could use it multiple times—really great! There were plenty of plates, pots, and other kitchenware in a good variety, which was very convenient. Just one thing: the bathroom on the second floor had a very strong cat smell. I couldn’t tell where it was coming from, but it filled the whole space—some guests may find it unpleasant. We stayed at Manly Accommodation. Overall it was excellent, so I hope only the odor can be improved.

We stayed as a family of four, and the Room was so spacious that the kids were thrilled. With the living area and bedroom separated, it felt like staying in a single-story house.
