The moment we stepped inside, the ocean view beyond the lawn garden burst into sight through the large living room windows. We had the breathtaking sea view from the hilltop all to ourselves. We enjoyed a BBQ while watching the sunset, and after dark we had drinks on the spacious terrace under a sky full of stars. We could hear the sound of the waves all night long. The next morning, as soon as we entered the living room again, we were moved by that ocean view once more—truly one of a kind. Our dog was in great spirits too, running around happily both in the garden and in our Room. The location was also very convenient—we couldn’t believe such an amazing place existed. It was an unforgettable stay. We did have some rainy weather, but it was great that we could still enjoy a BBQ even in the rain. The Accommodation’s Facilities and amenities were perfect; even arriving empty-handed, we lacked nothing at all. Everything was spotless, and we were able to relax comfortably. At checkout, the staff kindly saw us off with warm hospitality. If we have time, we’d love to return again soon.

This spacious maisonette-style accommodation is comfortable even for four adults. Mornings are especially memorable—enjoying coffee on the terrace while listening to the sound of the waves. The beach is within walking distance, and taking the picnic set provided in the cabin made our time by the sea even better. It was a relaxing stay that let us forget the hustle and bustle of city life.

I traveled to Nagasaki for a Golden Week getaway. Away from everyday life, I was able to fully enjoy a quiet, restorative retreat. The hospitality was truly exceptional—there was nothing to fault. The food was also outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the ingredients from Hirado, and every dish was delicious. It was my first time trying a morning sauna, and I could relax while watching the ever-changing sea view. At checkout, they even prepared drinks for our car ride home. It was my first time experiencing that kind of thoughtfulness, and I was genuinely moved. This Accommodation exceeded my expectations in every way, and I’d love to stay again.

Ever since I discovered Shukabura on an accommodation booking site a few years ago, I had been dreaming of staying here someday. The owner couple are friendly and down-to-earth. With just the right sense of distance, they respected my privacy while offering thoughtful care that anticipated every need. Not only the beautiful hill scenery, but also their warmth is a major reason this place makes you want to “come back home” again. Every piece of villa decor was so lovely I wanted to photograph it, and finding the charming little items placed throughout felt like a treasure hunt. The compact interior had everything I needed, and as someone whose hair tends to explode in the morning, I was genuinely impressed that there were even two types of hair irons provided. The cosmetics and bath/hair care amenities also smelled wonderful—I ended up lingering in the bath longer than planned. The local ingredients prepared for breakfast were all surprisingly delicious, especially the vegetables. I couldn’t stop tasting them just to check doneness—and even bought extra vegetables at a local farmers’ market. As someone who enjoys cooking (not necessarily claiming I’m good at it), I loved making my own meals while admiring the stunning view from the living room, making time spent in the Room truly special. This trip was a solo journey for self-care made possible by warm support from those around me. During my stay there were many rainy or cloudy days and strong winds, so it might not be considered “good weather” in general. Even so, there were sights I could only experience because of these conditions: a rainbow after the rain; layered clouds drifting by; a sky changing moment by moment; wheat rippling in the wind; and white buckwheat flowers swaying gently. This stay reminded me once again that Biei’s charm isn’t limited to sunny days. This was my seventh visit to Biei. The colors of the hills, shades of the sky, shapes of clouds, and growing trees all look different each time—no matter how many times I come back over time, there is always something new that moves me. Next time, I’d love to visit Biei in midwinter—still unknown to me—and watch snowy scenery from Shukabura. Thank you very much for such a truly fulfilling stay for both body and mind.

We stayed here with six friends during the Obon holidays. The interior was spacious and very clean—easily the best entire-home Accommodation we’ve stayed in so far. In the evening, we bought seafood at a nearby supermarket and had a barbecue in the garden. Everything was fully equipped, and we were able to enjoy our meal comfortably without any hassle. After that, we used the sauna and outdoor cold-water bath in the garden and had an amazing night. The only downside was that when we got hungry late at night, most restaurants were already closed early, and there isn’t a convenience store nearby. The amenities were as well stocked as a Hotel, so we had no trouble during our stay. We’d definitely like to stay again next time!!

The Room was very clean and comfortable. The view was also great. We were able to relax without worrying, even when the kids were being noisy. It was a hot day, so we really appreciated that the air conditioning had already been set when we checked in. We used a nearby Onsen at night, and took a bath here in the morning. A morning bath while looking out at the sea was wonderful.

Conveniently located within easy reach of Ryogoku Station on both the Oedo Line and the Sobu-Chuo Line, with many nearby restaurants and shops for dining and shopping. When entering, there was a system I hadn’t experienced at other hotels, such as face registration, so I was a little unsure at first. However, it wasn’t difficult, and I was able to complete the process smoothly. There was also a way to make inquiries on the spot, so it didn’t seem like there would be any trouble. Upon entering the Room, I was immediately impressed by how spacious it was and by the abundance of greenery. The Facility is well equipped with various modern and convenient features, and the main sauna allows self-service löyly, so you can adjust the temperature to your liking. We bought various foods to bring in, made snacks in the kitchen as well, enjoyed them with the complimentary Prosecco provided as a perk, took turns using each bathtub whenever we liked, and fully enjoyed the sauna—overall offering a high degree of freedom and making our stay extremely satisfying. During this stay, we consulted about adding one more guest than originally planned. The staff explained everything very carefully regarding the system and kindly handled all procedures for adding an additional guest. We truly appreciated their thoughtful support. We were all saying that we would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful stay experience.

All Rooms were kept very clean, and it was a pleasure to stay here! The pool was spacious enough, and with a jacuzzi and sauna, it was perfect not only for having fun but also for relaxing. The kitchen utensils were well stocked, which was very helpful! I’d love to stay again if I have the chance.

The location is surrounded by nothing, but that also means it’s wonderfully quiet, and you can spend a blissful time surrounded by antique furniture. It’s a very distinctive Hotel with an outstanding atmosphere. Since the rooms are fully visible from the Lake Garden promenade, you may hesitate to approach the windows carelessly in light clothing after 9:00 a.m. Dinner is served at an affiliated restaurant in Kyu-Karuizawa, which also features a wonderful classical interior and truly delicious food.

We stayed for a 4-day, 3-night Multiple Night Stay. It was our first time using self-check-in, so we were a bit worried, but the detailed instructions sent via email made the process smooth and problem-free. The Room exceeded our expectations, and our family was thrilled. We were concerned about running out of towels during the Multiple Night Stay, but there were plenty stocked, along with amenities like a hairdryer and lots of dishes, making our stay very comfortable. The pool, which could be lit up at night, was a favorite for the kids, and they used it whenever they had time during our stay. The Room had a space where we could move directly from the pool to the bathroom even while wet, and the washing machine and dryer made it convenient to clean up after swimming or going to the beach. We had an absolutely wonderful time and would love to stay again.

We stayed with 7 people from 3 families plus a baby. The room arrangement and the pool were truly wonderful. We often use luxury hotels in Okinawa, but this time we were able to spend time with our family without any pretension and fully enjoyed the extraordinary experience of pool and barbecue. I was worried because there were reviews mentioning a musty smell or issues with amenities, but there was nothing like that at all, and it was a clean and comfortable space. Also, the nearby sea was very clear, and we could observe many small fish while snorkeling, which all the sea-loving family members enjoyed. The smart check-in was smooth without any problems. We would love to use it again. Thank you very much.

I stayed in Building B, Jihākayā. I love it so much that I’d like to stay long-term. When I finally got to stay at Sachibaru a year and a half ago, it was also in Building B, and I liked it so much that I kept thinking, “I want to go again,” but the timing never worked out and a year and a half passed. Last time, Hamabe no Chaya was being renovated, but this time I was able to have breakfast there! You could spend the whole day there. Of course, Yama no Chaya is wonderful too. I’ll do my best to find another chance to stay again.

The staff's service when handling the keys was excellent, and I was completely satisfied with this accommodation. The location, just 5 seconds to the beach and with BBQ facilities, was also perfect. I have stayed at various villas, but this one allowed me to spend an amazing day. Thank you so much! I would love to stay here again in the summer. It’s a beautiful spot with stunning sunrises! Honestly, I want to lower my rating so it doesn’t get fully booked... but I was extremely satisfied! Thank you very much!! I will definitely visit again :)

The Room was very clean. There were surprisingly many amenities provided. It is also very close to Sokodo Bay, which made it very convenient to go to the beach with children. Just outside the Accommodation, there are areas without streetlights, and the starry sky looked beautiful. There is a washer-dryer, so we made full use of it. The sauna also had towels and drinks prepared, and the cold plunge bath felt great. On the other hand, for four guests staying three nights, there were only four cups’ worth each of tea and coffee, with no refills. We finished them in one day. Since this is not a cheap Accommodation, I would at least like tea-type drinks to be available at the sauna drink corner as well. Also, we were told that trash collection is basically not provided. With a kitchen, if you cook you will inevitably have food waste. Leaving it there for all three nights didn’t feel good, so we handed it directly to a staff member who was cleaning partway through. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but including the issue with tea, we couldn’t fully relax into a luxurious feeling, which was a bit disappointing.

Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was rainy, but we were able to relax so comfortably in the Room that we hardly noticed. The living area with an irori hearth was filled with natural light from the large windows, creating an open and inviting space. We enjoyed meals and watched movies on Amazon Prime, spending peaceful time together at our own pace. The Takigawa beef dishes were also delicious and very satisfying. Although it rained, we could still stroll around the grounds and enjoy matcha at the teahouse as well as a tea ceremony experience, which our older family members especially appreciated. The upstairs bedroom also had large windows with a great view, allowing us to spend a quiet and luxurious time. The bath was designed so the window could be opened fully, and it was memorable to soak comfortably while listening to the sound of rain. On our way home, we stopped by a nearby sightseeing spot, Shiraito Falls, which offered a spectacular view as well. This time we unfortunately couldn’t see Mt. Fuji, but next time we would love to visit on a clear day and enjoy a stay while taking in the view of Mt. Fuji.

The breathtaking ocean view was incredible, and we enjoyed a luxurious time that felt like having the sea of Atami all to ourselves. The modern, calming space was also exceptional. It was a special Accommodation we would love to visit again with our cherished family.

My return from the airport was late, so I stayed at a Hotel about 30 minutes before reaching home. I expected a beautiful, clean Hotel based on the photos, but it was even nicer in person, and the Room was spacious. The breakfast was so delicious that I was truly impressed. The view was great too, and I was happy to find such a hidden-gem Hotel so close by. Breakfast wasn’t a buffet; it was an amazing meal made by the owner—an egg served on top of incredibly delicious bread. I’ll definitely come again!

Regardless of whether you’re vegan or not, everything served was incredibly delicious, and I felt soothed from the very first bite. It’s the kind of flavor that makes you understand what “deeply nourishing” really means. The natural lavender herbal bath in the Room was wonderfully calming—just as comforting as an Onsen. The peaceful atmosphere was lovely; I wished I could have stayed longer. Thanks to the owners’ warm personalities, their natural, unpretentious hospitality felt like the very best kind of service.

I’ve stayed at several Accommodations that welcome dogs, but this was the first place where I never once felt restricted “because we have a dog.” Surrounded by nature, it’s a truly soothing space for both people and dogs. I was amazed by the huge 1,200-tsubo lawn garden and even a pool where people can swim too. I was genuinely happy to be able to relax and let my dog roam freely. And I was surprised to be able to enjoy an Onsen in Chiba. What’s more, our Room had a luxurious open-air bath carved from a massive stone! Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time without worrying about others was the best. Another great point for us was having a two-bedroom layout—an absolute must for our family. I never imagined traveling with our dog could be this comfortable, free, and luxurious… It truly was an amazing time. A wonderful Accommodation where both dogs and people can forget everyday life and fully unwind—we’d love to visit again.

The location from the Room, the spaciousness of the bath, and the staff's hospitality were all excellent and very satisfying. I would love to use your services again in the coming years. Thank you very much.
