From arrival to departure, the staff were consistently courteous and attentive, making our stay truly comfortable. The service was impeccable. The Room retains the charm of a traditional Japanese house while offering a calm, spacious layout for relaxing. In addition to the deck,

The meals featured plenty of fresh fish and spiny lobster, and everything was delicious—I left completely full. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view over Tachibana Bay. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

I was satisfied with everything. The dishes made with olive oil were delicious, and the room with a view of the calm sea was wonderful. Shodoshima is famous for its stone, and it is used generously throughout the island. It doesn’t feel cold; instead, it feels warm and comforting. The staff greeted us with smiles, and it was an inn that made us think, even before checkout, “We want to come back.”

Though it is a small inn, everything was perfectly arranged with nothing lacking—truly wonderful. The hot spring was always at the ideal temperature no matter when we entered; thank you to the bath attendant. Thank you as well for kindly accommodating our requests. The meals were excellent, and the attendant was experienced, making us feel comfortable leaving everything in their hands. We would love to return. Thank you very much.

it was a blissful one-night stay. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying in both portion size and taste. The Tango Koshihikari rice was delicious!! Everyone on the Accommodation staff was genuinely friendly, and I was able to spend my time feeling very relaxed. I even got mist

A ryokan next to Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya, where you can relax in gentle hot springs and spend time wrapped in tranquility. From the room we stayed in this time, through the window we could see the roofs of buildings within Akimiya’s grounds and the surrounding grove. The season’s coldest autumn weather this year made the feeling of cleansing both body and mind even stronger. We didn’t have time to walk around on this trip, but it takes less than a minute to reach Akimiya’s parking lot. Its charm, different from modern accommodation facilities, reminded us of the pride of being Japanese. Thank you very much.

We stayed here on a three-generation family trip. They kindly lent a wheelchair to my mother, who has difficulty walking, and the staff member in charge took wonderful care of us. Our whole family became a fan of them. (Thank you very much.) The hospitality was outstanding, and the baths were very clean. We were able to relax at our own pace. Every dish was delicious, and because meals were served in our room or in private dining rooms, we hardly ran into other guests inside the property. It was quiet and very comfortable. The Scandinavian chairs, reading materials, and small decorative items placed throughout the building were lovely as well—the sense of style was truly exceptional. It’s an inn that makes you want to come back. We would love to visit again in a different season.

The meals, both dinner and breakfast, were absolutely delicious. Although I regret not being able to see the sunset due to a late check-in, the morning view of the sea from the Room was as beautiful as a painting. The staff were kind and attentive. It was a wonderful trip. Thank

We truly felt your wonderful service and hospitality throughout our stay. The location, the meals, the baths, and all of the staff were genuinely excellent. You even prepared kaiseki cuisine for our 9-year-old son and accommodated a change to our breakfast time. Both the dinner kaiseki and breakfast were absolutely delicious, and it was clear how much care and effort went into them.

The deliciousness of the previous meal was unforgettable, and I finally had my second stay. Once again, the meals were absolutely delicious, and I became a fan all over again. Not only was the taste amazing, but the presentation also reflected the seasons beautifully. Being a h

I never expected to find such an exceptionally refined Ryokan in the quiet seaside town of Esashi. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of quality in the air, and the staff’s attentive, warm hospitality gently eases away any travel fatigue. The cuisine fully showcases the blessings of Esashi’s sea and land, with care and artistry evident in every dish. The seafood freshness, in particular, is outstanding—I truly felt the authentic flavor you can only experience by eating it here in Hokkaido. Overall, Ryotei Gunrai is an Accommodation so complete that the stay itself feels like a work of art. I’ve visited many Accommodations across Hokkaido, but personally I consider this my No. 1 Ryokan in Hokkaido. This was my second stay, and it confirmed it. The tranquility, cuisine, and service are all harmonized at a remarkably high level—an extraordinary place that makes you certain you’ll want to return again.

As you may have guessed by now (laughs), everything about this accommodation is simply outstanding! Overall, these two days exceeded all of our expectations and allowed us complete relaxation. I hope to return here again for another special occasion with loved ones. Thank you s

We were surprised by how many courses there were, and impressed that she could describe them all so clearly. The head chef’s flavors and sense of style were outstanding. The timing of each course was perfect as well, and both of us finished everything. We were also genuinely surp

It was our first time visiting Amakusa, but we are truly glad we chose your Accommodation. We are also interested in your affiliated Accommodations, so we would love to stay again as a family. Thank you very much for creating such wonderful memories. Please take good care of you

This was our first trip traveling with our dog. The Room was clean, the amenities were well stocked, and the food was very delicious. The staff were also kind to our dog. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

The floor chair also had good height and was very comfortable. The shamisen performance at night was wonderful as well. Breakfast was also buffet-style. We ate plenty—fresh salad, delicious apple juice, sashimi, and more. The yogurt was so good it’s unforgettable. It was a

We stayed in the “Japanese-Western Style Room with Open-Air Hot Spring Bath.” It’s not cheap, but it was absolutely worth it—an incredibly satisfying stay! ■ Room & private open-air bath The room was beautifully luxurious, and the view from it was outstanding. There were both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and I loved that I could adjust the temperature of the open-air bath myself. I set it a bit lukewarm and enjoyed a long soak while taking in the scenery. The room also came with a great selection of complimentary drinks, and having one out on the balcony while admiring the view felt like pure luxury. ■ Scenic public bath (a must!) The in-room baths were amazing, but please make sure to visit the large public bath as well! I’ve been to many hot springs, and the view from this one is among the very best. There are two baths with separate men’s/women’s hours (they rotate), so I highly recommend trying both. The daytime views are spectacular—but nighttime is something else entirely. Everything around you is pitch-black, to the point where you can barely see anything at first. As your eyes adjust, mountain silhouettes emerge with an almost overwhelming presence—like giants looming close by. Just when you think “This is scary,” you look up…and there’s a sky full of stars! It had been ages since I’d seen stars that beautiful—I was so moved I honestly wished they would turn off the lights in the bathing area. ■ Dining & service Every dish was refined and delicious. That said, younger guests might find the portions a little light (though drinking may be part of it—my spouse and I don’t drink). Also, I would have loved to have a big pickled plum at breakfast as well. The staff service was excellent throughout—we were impressed from start to finish. ■ Access / other notes - The roads on the way in and the parking lot are spacious, so even larger vehicles should be fine (we drove a BMW 2-door coupe about 5 m long). However, if it snows in winter, it may not melt quickly and could be challenging. - It’s surrounded by nature, so insects do appear. My wife said that with check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM there still wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy everything—and she truly didn’t want to leave. For me, Hita used to be just somewhere we passed through—but thanks to this inn, it has become a destination in itself. We will definitely return!

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary. The ocean was right in front of us—what a wonderful view!! The staff were all smiles and the service was excellent!! We were very satisfied with the delicious meals while enjoying the scenery. It was also great to relax on the terrace. Above all, we had been looking forward to watching the sunrise from the open-air bath in our room, and we were truly moved to see the sun rise directly over the horizon of the sea right in front of us. We had a wonderfully relaxing time. Thank you very much. We would love to stay again.

This luxury Japanese-style Ryokan with views of Mt. Fuji offered exceptional service. The view from the Room was stunning, and the windows were polished to a shine, which showed true hospitality. Both the in-room bath and the large public bath were comfortable and deeply relaxing. The meals were also delicious. The attentive service made our children happy as well. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again.

Breakfast offered both Japanese and Western options individually tailored—a perfect touch of luxury. Just before checking out, Mount Fuji appeared again as if bidding us farewell—it truly made this an unforgettable stay. I highly recommend this accommodation as an absolute must
