Onsen areas around Kuju × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

The food was truly delicious. The dishes were so elaborate it was surprising, and the quality was so high I completely forgot I was staying in a cottage. I even made another Reservation right away and stayed again after just one day. I chose the same meal again, and it was genuinely excellent. And then there’s the open-air Onsen surrounded by vast, unspoiled nature as far as the eye can see—it’s truly something special. I love the carbonated Onsen water as well, and overall I was completely satisfied with the cottage, the scenery, and especially the food. Even though it was cloudy, after dinner at night I went outside, and I could clearly capture many summer stars even with my iPhone. This is an Accommodation I would definitely love to visit again.

I debated for a long time whether to write a Review, but I decided to do so. The food was excellent, and I was satisfied with the bath. However, there were several shortcomings in how my comments entered at the time of Reservation via IKYU were handled, which left me disappointed.

All the staff greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel very welcome, so we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The meals were gently seasoned to bring out the quality of the ingredients, and everything—from the presentation and service to the location—was wonderful; we were truly impressed. The in-room bath was quite hot at first, but as we had been advised, we added cold water and adjusted it to our liking. The spring quality was excellent—I soaked four times. However, the bedroom had only a mattress laid directly on a wooden floor at the bottom of the stairs; tatami would have been fine, but with wooden flooring, a raised bed frame would have been more comfortable. Overall, we were extremely satisfied, and it has become our favorite Accommodation—we definitely want to return in another season.
