Around Life and Sex Museum × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

The cuisine, Room, Onsen, and service were all excellent. It truly made us want to come back! At the end of our summer vacation, we made wonderful memories here and felt motivated to work hard again. We have stayed at other Accommodations in Ikaho several times, but Kogure is the best. Please continue your warm hospitality and bring comfort to many more guests.

All the staff were very friendly, and we were able to spend our stay in complete comfort. Both the baths and the meals exceeded our expectations. I used the scenic open-air bath early in the morning, and with such beautiful weather, the view was amazing—it felt wonderful. It’s also just a short walk to the stone-step street, and being able to come out around the middle of it felt like a nice bonus. This may depend on the Plan, but there was a local craft beer called Ikahop in the fridge along with juice and water, all included in the rate. There was also a complimentary service of either wine or sake (and for those who don’t drink alcohol, it seems they can provide ramune instead). In addition, there was beer service in the lounge (evenings only), as well as coffee and tea. The Accommodation was very clean and lovely throughout. I also liked that both the corridors and even inside the elevator were tatami-matted—no slippers needed. I was surprised at how small the toilet in our Room was, but aside from that, this is truly a wonderful Accommodation.

Everything—from the meals and the Room to the amenities and hospitality—was outstanding, and we were completely satisfied with our stay! The open-air Onsen bath in the Room was incredibly convenient, as we could soak anytime we liked, and it felt wonderfully luxurious. Also, because this Accommodation has only 10 Rooms, we rarely crossed paths with other guests at “Owl no Yu,” so we could relax and enjoy the Onsen as if it were private. The kaiseki dinner was exquisite across the board. In particular, the miso-glazed eggplant (dengaku) and steamed eel rice left a lasting impression—they were truly delicious. You could really tell each dish was prepared with great care, and we enjoyed every bite to the very end. Breakfast was also excellent. It was my first time trying Nanban natto, and I liked it so much I wished I could take some home. The rolled omelet was fluffy and delicious as well. From the cuisine and Onsen to the Room—and above all, the heartfelt service from all of the staff—this was a wonderful Accommodation that satisfied us in every way. If you’d like to unwind in an Onsen while enjoying a drink and spend a relaxing holiday forgetting everyday fatigue, this is exactly the right place. We would love to visit again!

I have been living overseas for 18 years and return to Japan temporarily about twice a year. Whenever I come back, I always visit an Onsen with my wife... We’ve been to many different Onsens, but... we eventually found Oyado Tamaki, and this is about our sixth stay... Now we choose Oyado Tamaki every time. We are extremely satisfied with the Onsen, the Facility, the meals, and the hospitality of the staff.

We visited as a couple with our dog. Every staff member was wonderful, and their hospitality made us feel very comfortable. All drinks were free, and we loved being able to enjoy apple juice, Starbucks coffee, and Malts beer in our room. When we mentioned we wanted a café au lait, they kindly offered to bring us milk as well. The room was spacious and spotless. The private open-air bath in the guest room used Ikaho Onsen water, and there was also a bathtub for our dog. When we told them we planned to bathe our dog, they provided dog shampoo, conditioner, and towels. There was also a blower in the washroom area, so drying was easy and comfortable. For humans as well, everything was ReFa—both owners and pets ended up with silky-smooth hair. The basement is a dog run, which is great because you can play even on rainy days (there’s also a paw-washing station). The sofa area for people is very comfortable too. Meals are served in private booths with nameplates, so you can dine together with your dog. There are multiple pet menu options such as venison, chicken, steak, and hamburger steak. Since our dog is small and we worried it might be too much food, they kindly let us take the standard dog bread home unopened. Our dog devoured the venison steak so enthusiastically that he couldn’t even wait properly. We are very sorry that our dog had an accident on the futon. The cleaning fee of 2,980 yen could only be paid in cash. It was an amazing place to stay—highly recommended.

The building is probably old, but the Room seemed to have been renovated and was very clean and comfortable, including the unit bath and toilet. There were also two single sofas, making it a relaxing space. Breakfast was delicious, just as other Reviews said.

I have visited Ikaho several times for Onsen-hopping, and this time I stayed at Kishigon, which I had wanted to try for a while.\n\nI really enjoyed visiting the three different baths. In particular, Gonzaemon-no-Yu had a wonderful atmosphere and became my favorite.\n\nWhen I visited Ikaho last time, I stayed at another Onsen Accommodation with the same Golden Hot Spring water, but it was disappointingly lukewarm, so I was a bit worried. However, at Kishigon the temperature was just right for me and it was excellent.\n\nThe view from the Room was great as well. At the post-bath lounge area (available only during certain hours), we could enjoy alcoholic drinks, and in the lounge we could have coffee.\n\nSince the stone steps are right in front of the Accommodation, it was easy to take a stroll after check-in or after dinner.\n\nOverall, it was great value—there were so many things to enjoy at a reasonable price.

On a whim during the Obon holidays, I made a Reservation for one night starting August 15, booking on August 13. I have a shellfish allergy, and since it was such short notice I thought it might be difficult, but they replied right away, “No problem.” The Hotel does feel a bit old, but it is well kept and clean, so my stay was very comfortable. The meals were generous and delicious. Above all, what makes this Hotel special is how kind everyone is. They don’t say unnecessary things, but if you ask something they think it through as if it were their own matter and respond sincerely. It left me feeling warm inside. It really shows that you don’t need a luxury Hotel to have a great stay. I highly recommend staying here at least once.\nI do not recommend climbing the 365 steps of the Ikaho Onsen stone staircase in midsummer—I was drenched in sweat and completely out of breath.

Because it is directly connected to the stone steps, even though it was before check-in, they let us park our car in the parking lot and also stored our luggage so we could go sightseeing. The amenities were well stocked, and I thought it was wonderful that we could use as many bath towels as we wanted. There were plenty of welcome drinks and snacks, so you can start enjoying yourself even before going to your room. The food was very delicious, and it was great that you can add an individual all-you-can-drink alcohol option. However, despite being told at check-in where to go, another staff member said “not yet” and let other guests check in first, which I found questionable.

I stayed in a Room with an open-air bath, and the Room was simply outstanding. The spaciousness, cleanliness, design, and the in-room Onsen were all excellent. Since we didn’t order meals this time, we had limited interaction with the staff, but we didn’t experience any inconvenience. I’d love to visit again.

I stayed here for a friend’s birthday. The food was delicious, and the place was spacious and wonderful! Above all, the Onsen had a great variety, was clean, and helped me feel refreshed! However, it was a bit disappointing to find some hair in the Room and one of the lights wasn’t working. Other than that, I had a really great stay! Thank you very much! Next time I come back, I’d like to stay in a larger Room!

I headed there by motorcycle this time, but it unexpectedly broke down and I couldn’t make it… If I get another chance, I’d like to stay there. If I had to mention one thing, the staff weren’t rude or careless, but when I was arranging the cancellation around 8:00 PM, the person I spoke with used fairly broken Japanese. It would be helpful if that could be improved.

Dinner was described as a light meal, but it felt like much more than that... I was completely full, and the curry was delicious!! There were a couple of things about the phone service that I wasn’t sure about, but I was so satisfied that it didn’t really matter. I’ll definitely stay here again.

This was my first time staying at Ooedo Onsen Monogatari. It’s conveniently located right in front of the final bus stop. The facilities have been beautifully renovated and were very comfortable. All the staff were kind, and I truly felt at home. The food was delicious, and perhaps because it’s a small property with only 40 rooms, the large public bath wasn’t too crowded, so I could relax and soak at ease. Excellent value for money—I was completely satisfied overall. Even after the relaxed 11:00 check-out, they kindly allowed me to use the lounge until my bus departure time. Thank you very much. Whenever I visit Ikaho, I will definitely stay here again.
