For a Room of this grade with an open-air bath and two meals included at this price, I personally have no complaints. If I had to mention one drawback, I could hear conversations from the neighboring Room quite clearly.

The view is beautiful. The room is very spacious. At night, it gets completely dark, and if there are no clouds, the stars are stunning. The hotel's service is excellent. Although I didn’t use it, there is a pool available. The surroundings consist of fields, forests, and cows. It reminded me of an old but charming hotel in Ubud, Bali. For dining or shopping, you can reach the town by car in about 10 minutes. Both the airport and the town are nearby. The hotel offers a morning restaurant and drink vending machines; there might have been cup noodles available too (though I didn’t try them). The facility is somewhat old but functional. Hot showers work well, and the air conditioning was effective. While geckos may occasionally appear (as they do in Bali), I didn’t encounter any during my stay—they’re harmless anyway! There were a few small ants in the bathtub at one point but washing them away with water solved that issue. I made a last-minute reservation during peak season at what I thought was a reasonable price. If you’re concerned about some of these minor drawbacks mentioned above, this place might not be for you; however, if they don’t bother you much, your satisfaction will likely be high. I would love to stay here again!

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"!

Spend time in the panoramic bath while gazing at the stars, then wake up refreshed with a morning soak as you look out toward Mt. Aso glowing in the sunrise before heading to breakfast. I was impressed by the gentle, delicious Nankan-age in the miso soup, asked where to buy it, and purchased some to take home. The tofu was also handmade by the Hotel, and I felt satisfied and energized from the morning.

A quiet port town accommodation located at the southern tip of Shimoshima, Amakusa. This time, I stayed with no meals included, but the location is known for its fresh seafood. There is also a famous sunset spot nearby where you might be lucky enough to see the sun setting over the horizon. The building shows its age, but features like the tiled bath give it a nostalgic charm. The staff were very kind and made my stay comfortable and pleasant.

It was my first time visiting Oki Island and trying glamping, and everything exceeded my expectations—it was truly an amazing experience. Enjoying a BBQ while watching the beautiful sunset was unforgettable, with melt-in-your-mouth Oki beef that had a rich flavor, large oysters raised in Oki, and exceptionally delicious onions from the region. In the morning, I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and waves crashing, cherishing the peaceful moment of sipping coffee while watching the sunrise. Although it was my first glamping experience, everything—from inside the tent to water facilities, showers, and toilets—was very clean and convenient. Even as someone who isn’t fond of camping, I found it incredibly comfortable. The staff were always smiling warmly when greeting us but maintained just the right amount of distance for a pleasant stay. Thanks to them, we enjoyed two very relaxing nights here. I would love to visit again!

The sunset and sunrise were absolutely wonderful. The Onsen was also very nice. Even after we got close to the Accommodation, we couldn’t find it and had to look around. Since the Accommodation wasn’t listed on our car’s navigation system, we asked a local and were able to find it.

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.

It was better than I expected! Great value for the price. My dog was happy too. If I had to mention anything, the bedroom scent was a bit too strong—maybe the previous guests used a lot of fragrance. Also, it was hard to find the toothbrushes. And it would have been helpful to have clearer instructions for using the BBQ (there were some, but they seemed to assume charcoal use). That said, overall it was clean and well-equipped. Even during Golden Week, the price felt fair, and it’s an Accommodation I can’t help but want to stay at again.

The ocean is right in front of you, and you can even see Enoshima from the Room—an amazing location! It was so wonderful that on the day between our two nights, we spent most of the time in the Room just watching the sea. As others have mentioned, the breakfast bread was generous and very delicious. All of the staff who assisted us at reception were foreigners, but everyone was very pleasant and kind. After checkout, I realized I had left something behind and called them; they handled it kindly, and when I went to pick it up—even though it was my mistake—they spoke earnestly in polite Japanese and said, “We’re sorry you had to come all this way,” which really moved me. I definitely want to stay here again!

We stayed for two nights while helping our child move. Thank you for accommodating our last-minute requests so flexibly. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity. The meals were delicious.

We stayed here last year, and our child kept saying they wanted to come back, so we decided to stay again this year. The location and the cuteness of the room are great, but above all, the staff always leave a very good impression with their thorough training. There are many activities that children enjoy such as roasting marshmallows over a campfire, fireworks, swings, and playing in the sand at the beach. It's an ideal place for families. The sea in February was also beautiful and we took many great photos. We had our meal at a sushi stall after a short walk; not only was it delicious but we also got to see the sunset perfectly which became an amazing experience for our child. I think it's a wonderful property that can be enjoyed all year round even if it's not high season. It feels like we've added another important place for our family memories. On the day of our stay this time, there was a male staff member who kindly supported us with various things; my child said they want to meet him again! Thank you very much for everything. We would love to visit again!

The room I stayed in felt outdated overall, and the three-piece unit bathroom was particularly small and inconvenient. However, everything else was clean and well-maintained. The view from the accommodation lived up to its reputation as a "scenic inn," offering stunning sunsets. A sandy beach is just a short walk away, making it ideal for swimming in summer. Guests can enjoy a private open-air bath once for free. There are two options: a cypress bath and a larger-than-usual tub bath; I recommend the tub bath for its size. Although the public bath lacked scenic views, I had it all to myself during my visit, allowing me to relax fully with plenty of space. The meals were exceptional both morning and evening—highly recommended for sashimi or seafood lovers! The spiny lobster sashimi was sweet and incredibly delicious. The next morning's spiny lobster miso soup had rich flavors from the broth and was equally delightful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making this an accommodation I'd love to visit again!

Almost everything we needed was provided, and we were able to stay very comfortably. The pool was a pleasant temperature even for this season, and the sauna was spacious and excellent! We also loved that we could enjoy an outdoor BBQ even on rainy days. A convenience store is within a 15-minute walk, so it was easy to pick up extra supplies. Although the villa is surrounded by nature, there were fewer insects than expected, which made it very comfortable. Overall, we were truly satisfied and would love to stay here again! However, one thing that bothered us was a damp laundry-like smell in the bedroom. It was quite strong from the moment we entered and felt a bit noticeable. If that could be improved, it would be even more comfortable. Other than that, the Facilities were well equipped and we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much!

Although the weather was not great, we still enjoyed our stay and even had fun with the little inconveniences. A wonderful Room and meals. Next time, I’d love to watch the stars.

Because we arrived late, we should have used the second parking lot, but it was dark and we couldn’t find it. Thanks to the staff’s kindness, we were allowed to use the paid parking lot, and we truly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Stayed here for the last night of a 3-night trip to Shiretoko. The new wing's Japanese-style room was clean and well-maintained. Meals were more relaxing compared to other hotels, and dishes like simmered fish were incredibly delicious. Buffets can feel hectic! The Onsen bath, though showing some age, provided a calm and enjoyable experience. The staff were cheerful and left a great impression. I would stay here again if I visit this area!

It was a very clean Hotel, conveniently located just over a 10-minute walk from the station, with a variety of restaurants nearby. The bath was a large public bath; the men’s side had an open-air bath, but it seems the women’s side did not, which was a bit disappointing. The happy hour from late afternoon into the evening was also great—unlimited alcoholic drinks and four snack options were included.
