Tokai Hot Spring Area × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan - 14Page Number

The building is old, but it’s very comfortable, and the portion sizes were good. I’d like to stay here again.

I’ve stayed here many times, and the food is truly delicious. It’s authentic Chinese cuisine. Really delicious. It’s so good that I stay here mainly for the meals. The rooms are clean as well, and it’s a very nice place to stay. If I had to mention one thing, the Chinese made-to-order buffet requires a minimum order for two people, so it’s better to go with three or more. That way, you can try a wider variety of dishes. I wouldn’t recommend going with someone who eats very little. It really is delicious.

We stayed in a cottage. The Room was spacious and quiet, so we were able to relax and take our time. The cottage, spa, and dining venue were in separate buildings, but the on-site Shuttle Service made getting around easy and convenient. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and we had a wonderful stay. The men’s bath offered an open-air bath with expansive views, perfect for cooling down.

The number of dishes felt limited, both at dinner and breakfast.

Stayed in a Twin Room alone two weeks after the opening. Most guests are foreigners, and the city of Takayama is also filled with international visitors! The staff seemed inexperienced but within an acceptable range. Everything being brand new made the stay very pleasant. The TV is a smart TV comparable to those in a Business Hotel—excellent! The beddings were extremely comfortable for sleeping. The mixed open-air bath requires swimwear, so be sure to bring your own. While the Hotel was great, dining in Takayama city felt tourist-priced; location needs consideration. Famous Hida beef restaurants were fully packed. A hotel I would love to revisit!

Staying here has become our annual summer tradition. Ever since our kids were 3–4 years old, “summer” has meant the lakeside pool, and we spend two full days playing nonstop. The pool gradually gets deeper, so when they were little we could play together in the shallow area, and now we can sit in the shallows and keep an eye on them as they swim. The slide is also a favorite with our kids. The guest rooms are built like apartments, so in midsummer it feels like “Outside?!” right after getting off the elevator—but for us that’s part of what makes it feel uniquely lakeside, so it doesn’t bother us at all. If anything, it makes us think, “Ah, we’re back at Lakeside again this year.” You do have to go outside to get to meals and the baths since they’re a bit farther away, but even that is something our family enjoys. We’re always satisfied with the food, and the baths feel absolutely wonderful. We come every year because there’s nothing to complain about. Every single Hotel staff member is pleasant—after nearly 10 years of staying here, I truly think they’re outstanding. Our kids are older now but still say they want to come again next year!! We’d love to keep staying here for many years to come.

Dinner offered a wide variety of dishes and was delicious overall, so the meals were excellent. The room was spacious and satisfying; however, there was a slight lingering smell of dog urine, which may be unavoidable. The dog run was not crowded, which was great.

This was a business trip. I was greeted and seen off with a smile every day, which always made it pleasant to start work. Thank you.

I was able to relax in a Room with a different atmosphere than usual. It was my first Multiple Night Stay, and this Hotel provides daily cleaning, so I stayed very comfortably. At other Hotels, cleaning during a Multiple Night Stay wasn’t done unless I requested it, so this felt refreshing. However, since I couldn’t leave my belongings out, I needed to put everything back into my bag each time (though it’s just putting them away).

This was my second stay, and both times I stayed alone. The hotel kindly upgraded my room to an Executive Double. I was extremely tired on the day of my stay and fell asleep without using the large public bath. I slept very soundly—perhaps thanks to the high-quality bed. I checked in around 19:00, but the men’s hours for the public bath started at 21:45, so it didn’t fit my schedule. I’d like to use it next time. Breakfast was excellent. Rather than feeling like food from a luxury hotel chef, it felt like heartfelt, delicious home-style cooking by someone truly skilled—I went back for seconds many times. There was also a discount available, and I was satisfied with both the price and the service. One small issue: Wi-Fi was available, but I couldn’t connect. I’ll check it next time. I would definitely like to stay again.

While searching for an Accommodation near Shirakawa-go, we found a Room where each family member could relax and sleep in their own bed, so we booked immediately. Since the entire building is covered with tatami mats, it was very comfortable to stay there. All of the staff provided heartfelt hospitality, the property was impeccably clean throughout, and both the meals and the Onsen were wonderful. We stayed during Obon, and our child was delighted by services such as shaved ice and ring toss. After dinner, when we started to feel a bit hungry again, they offered “yonaki soba” with two types of half-size ramen: soy sauce and Toyama Black. It was delicious. We also accidentally left something behind and contacted them after checkout; they handled it very politely, which we truly appreciated. We would definitely like to stay here again when visiting Shirakawa-go in winter snow as well.

We were able to stay at a great price, and the meals were incredibly delicious and very generous—we really had to work hard to finish them. There was Hida beef served both teppanyaki-style and as sukiyaki, and the vegetables were fresh and very tasty. We also reserved the bath for private use, and we were moved by the breathtaking star-filled sky. There was no air conditioning, but it wasn’t a problem. The Room was old, but we knew it came with that condition, so it was fine. Our whole family was so satisfied that we all said we’d like to stay again. With souvenirs included as well, I think it’s a truly wonderful Ryokan.

I used Yahoo! Car Navigation to get here, but when I searched by the Hotel name, it did not lead me to the Hotel. I drove around the area and entered the Hotel name multiple times, but still couldn’t find it, and I couldn’t search by phone number. In the end, I finally arrived after entering the address. Because it took time to locate the Hotel, unfortunately I did not make it in time for Jinya’s admission hours.

We stayed on the one-night, two-meal plan with a Room assigned by the property, including grilled eel (kabayaki). The price was reasonable and the meals were delicious. However, it was disappointing that the website says parking is 800 yen, but when we asked at the front desk we were told we could use the municipal parking lot behind the property for 420 yen. It would be appreciated if this could be noted on the website. It was great to have a clear view of Bentenjima’s red torii gate right in front of us from our Room. We would like to stay again if we have another opportunity.

The Room was spacious, the food was delicious, and the hospitality of the staff was excellent, making for a very satisfying stay. The only downside was that the shower water pressure in the bathroom was low, which made it a bit challenging to wash up. I would love to stay here again if I have another opportunity.

Overall, I am satisfied. I had a comfortable stay. It would be helpful to have handrails at the entrance and exit of the large public bath.

The Facility is located toward the back of the Sumatakyo Onsen area. There are several nearby shops where you can buy souvenirs or grab a light meal, and it’s relatively close to Yume no Tsuribashi Suspension Bridge, so the location is fairly convenient. The Facility is a bit old, but clean. The Room was spacious; although it’s a Japanese-style room, it had twin beds and was very comfortable. Meals focused on local mountain specialties such as grilled river fish and wild boar hot pot, with more than enough volume to finish. Both the indoor bath and open-air bath were spacious, with free-flowing natural hot spring water. The silky-smooth Onsen water was excellent. There seemed to be a small number of staff members, but service felt efficient and to the point without being wasteful. There are two drawbacks: 1) The Wi-Fi signal is weak. We were told that “it should work in this Room” near the front desk, but it still cut out at times. In Rooms farther away, it may barely work at all. 2) Amenities in the bathing area: according to my wife, the women’s bath had items like lotion and cotton swabs, but the men’s bath did not. I’d like them to be consistent. Also, there is no switching between men’s and women’s baths during the stay.

We stay at Ooedo Onsen every year for our family trip. This time, we stayed here to visit Ise Jingu Shrine and VISON. Just as we saw on YouTube, the Onsen was clean, and the buffet meals were truly delicious both dinner and breakfast—we were very satisfied. We usually buy canned beer or chu-hi in advance to drink in the Room and put them in the in-room refrigerator, but this time we didn’t touch a single one and took them home. That’s because after check-in, drinks were all-you-can-drink in the lounge until midnight (24:00), which was more than enough for us. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed in a smoking Room, and it smelled like being in a smoking lounge. The odor was a bit too strong. I’ve switched to e-cigarettes, so the smell of cigarettes is usually fine for me, but this was overwhelmingly strong. Even using the air purifier didn’t help. Everything else was very good, which makes it disappointing.

I stayed solo, and for a Ryokan with Onsen, it felt like there were quite a few solo guests. There are two large public baths, including a rooftop open-air bath, and they were spacious and comfortable. The buffet-style meals offered a wide variety of dishes, with frequent refills, so I was very satisfied. Overall satisfaction was high, but the building layout is complex with many stairs due to changes in elevation, which may not suit elderly guests.
