Around Echizen Takefu Country Club × Highly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

I had a very comfortable stay. If I have the chance to stay in Sabae again, I’d love to come back! The staff’s service was cheerful and uplifting, which I really appreciated. The ladies working in the restaurant were especially bright and attentive to guests, and it left a strong impression on me. It was a wonderful Hotel!

We enjoyed the clean Room, the amazing view, and the meals. We weren’t sure if a Ryokan with an Onsen would be okay with preschool-aged children, but the Room was spacious and we were able to relax at our own pace. We were very satisfied with the food as well—fresh sashimi and crab were excellent! The Onsen water quality is great, but there is no open-air bath in the men’s bath and no sauna in the women’s bath, so we thought it would have been nice if they could alternate by time slot or day so guests could enjoy both. We usually don’t stay at the same Accommodation twice because we like trying different places, but this was a warm, homey Accommodation that made us want to come back. Highly recommended for families with children.

I stayed at your accommodation two and a half years ago. At that time, the Hokuriku Shinkansen had not yet opened in Fukui Prefecture, so the nearest station was Takefu Station on the Hokuriku Main Line (now Happiline Fukui), and it took about 10 minutes by taxi to reach your accommodation. Now, with Echizen-Takefu Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen as the nearest station, it is conveniently located within walking distance for those traveling by Shinkansen. The room I stayed in was on the top floor of your seven-story accommodation. As shown in the images, you can see Route 8, the Hokuriku Shinkansen, and Hokuriku Expressway from there; however, my room faced away from Echizen-Takefu Station and Takefu Interchange. The design of this room reminded me of a hotel near Kanazawa Station (Via Inn Kanazawa), where a bed was placed next to a sofa in a similar layout. After relaxing briefly in my room, I went to the dining area on the first floor. The menu included some local specialties from Fukui (such as Echizen soba and sauce katsudon). I chose sauce katsudon for my meal. Afterward, I returned to my room and enjoyed a pleasant time there. The next morning when I looked out of my window, I saw beautiful morning scenery (as shown in two images). After checking out of your accommodation, I walked to Echizen-Takefu Station and boarded the Shinkansen for further sightseeing. I was truly impressed with staying at your hotel near this convenient Shinkansen station location. Thank you very much! I'd love to stay again!

Thank you very much for upgrading our Room. It was a wonderful Room, and my wife was very pleased. We also enjoyed the meals. We would love to stay again.

The Room was clean, the large public bath was relaxing, and the breakfast was delicious, making for a very comfortable stay.

It was new and very comfortable to use. The parking lot is spacious, and as long as you don’t arrive too late, you should definitely be able to park, so I could drive there without rushing and with peace of mind.

A last-minute trip to Fukui. We stayed at Mayu-san’s Accommodation for one night, and they took great care of us. We originally made a Reservation simply because we wanted to visit a gravel beach and this was the only available place nearby, but it exceeded our expectations in the best way!! Since we had been playing at the beach, we headed straight to the bath right after check-in. There are four washing stations, and from the tub you can look out over the Sea of Japan. In the women’s bath, there were about six types of shampoo and conditioner to choose from—such a thoughtful touch! Dinner was what we had been looking forward to: an incredible boat platter packed with fresh sashimi. We actually said out loud, “Is this really for two people?!” The selection may vary by day, but everything was extremely fresh and delicious. Even though we visited in August, we also got to enjoy crab. When I asked later, I was told that Echizen crab in winter is even better—now I’m already excited. And just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, they served one whole fried flounder per person—what a surprise!! Rice refills were free as well. It was also great that we could enjoy everything in our Room. After dinner they laid out our futons for us, and our family of three—completely full—immediately sprawled out flat (laugh). There was only one small thing I noticed: At lights-out, it would have been nice to have a nightlight or bedside lamp! If there actually was one and I missed it, sorry about that! We also had breakfast in our Room the next morning. The grilled mackerel was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had!! Ah… I want to eat it again. The proprietress and staff were all truly cheerful and kind—we really felt their warmth. They took care of everything so efficiently that we had no inconveniences during our stay. Everything was kept very clean throughout as well, making it a comfortable stay. Since it took us over four hours each way from Nara, one night felt too short—I wanted more time to enjoy Fukui’s seafood. We’ll definitely be back!! Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Staying in this relocated traditional house made me feel pleasantly nostalgic. It was also great that the bath was available 24 hours a day—my skin felt smooth and moisturized afterward. And above all, the seafood was outstanding. Every dish felt like a main course, and then the final blow was the nodoguro rice bowl—I thought my stomach would burst, but it was so delicious I couldn’t leave any and finished it all. Even though I wasn’t fully hungry yet, breakfast was incredibly good as well. It was my first time eating squid with grated daikon—what an eye-opener; I’m going to try it at home. The rice was delicious too, and then there was even abalone-and-mozuku rice porridge with a nice kick of ginger. Once again, I ate everything. I was afraid to step on the scale after getting home. But I definitely want to come back.

Thank you very much for your hospitality! Thank you for kindly accommodating our Room change. After check-in, we enjoyed a welcome drink and were able to relax at our leisure. The parking lot was conveniently located next to the Hotel, and the view from the Room was great. The only disappointment was that the sauce katsudon was no longer available at breakfast. The soba noodles and simmered thick fried tofu were very delicious. When we visit Takefu again, we will stay here again. Thank you very much.

The location is incredibly convenient—just steps from the station exit. The exterior has a retro Showa-era feel, but the Room was very clean. You can see the view in front of the station from the Room. Above all, the front desk staff member was very friendly and helpful. It was reasonably priced, and I was very satisfied.

I stayed for business. The building itself feels a bit dated with age, but it was very well cleaned, and above all the breakfast was truly delicious, so I was extremely satisfied. I’ve stayed at many business hotels, and this had the best breakfast! There was a great selection unique to Fukui Prefecture: Fukui-grown Koshihikari rice, Fukui-grown pickled plums, miso-braised mackerel, sauce katsudon-style cutlet, Echizen soba, and more. Even the shredded cabbage in the salad tasted noticeably fresh. It’s on the top floor with a great panoramic view. Air conditioning: It’s centrally controlled so I initially worried it might be warm, but it cooled properly—no issues. Amenities: If you need them, you can pick them up in the lobby. Refrigerator: Cools well. It was already turned on when I arrived. Parking: Not very large, but I was able to park.

The bath with smooth Onsen water was excellent. The food was also very delicious.

I was looking for an affordable hotel close to the venue to support my child's match. After reviewing the details, I decided to make a Reservation because of the appealing services such as organic amenities, a large public bath, breakfast buffet, and a selection of pillows. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the scent of aromatic herbs at the entrance, and the front desk staff provided excellent service. This Hotel is highly recommended for women due to its secure women's public bath area, which ensures peace of mind during use. If I recall correctly, the showerheads were Refa brand. It’s a comfortable place even for women traveling alone.

I visited Echizen for squid fishing. Since the fishing boat departed late at night, I looked for an Accommodation with breakfast and dinner included. This was my first stay here, and the Room, wash area, toilets, and other facilities had been beautifully renovated throughout, making my stay very comfortable. Meals were served in a separate room, but it was a private room, so we could dine without concern. Above all, the bath is an Onsen with excellent water quality, and being able to use it 24 hours a day is very appealing. I really appreciated being able to warm up right after returning from fishing. The proprietress and staff were also very pleasant. This time we stayed in a spacious Room on the third floor. If I could mention one point: since there are only stairs (no elevator), noting this would be helpful for guests making a Reservation when traveling with elderly companions. I visit Echizen several times a year and would love to stay here again.

"Kama Jin Villa" is a long-established restaurant, but the accommodation just opened last year. The room we stayed in was built using materials exclusively from Fukui Prefecture. Starting with the entrance's paving stones made of rare blue-green Shakudani stone, the floor frame crafted from fine wood, a simple yet elegant tokobashira (alcove post) that incorporates natural knots, and beautifully grained wood used throughout, you can feel the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture. The wallpaper, sliding doors, and light shades appear to be made of Echizen Washi paper. If you're knowledgeable about Japanese architecture, you'll likely notice craftsmanship details everywhere. On the other hand, the living room with wooden flooring features antique furniture and Echizen-yaki cups for a mix of Japanese and Western styles that surprisingly harmonize to create a cozy space. The bathroom area combines elements of traditional Japanese design with a stylish modern atmosphere. Meals were served in "Kiku-no-Ma," which is also used as part of their restaurant facilities. Dinner included luxurious dishes such as beautifully presented appetizers (hassun), hamo fish soup with grilled eggplant, sashimi platters, Wakasa beef steak, steamed kinmedai fish wrapped in yuba skin, steamed eel and sticky rice wrapped in magnolia leaves—each dish deliciously prepared using premium ingredients. Breakfast featured historical and traditional items like pickled red taro stems (Suko), simmered herring once transported by Kitamaebune ships during Edo times, and local specialty takuan pickles cooked luxuriously—a menu rich in history and tradition. Suko is one item recreated under Kama Jin Villa’s supervision as part of "Murasaki Kibu Gozen," an ancient Heian aristocratic meal displayed at Murasaki Yukari no Yakata Museum. While meals were delightful overall—flavors tended to be slightly strong with generous portions—which might raise concerns about total salt intake for some guests; offering lighter-flavored or smaller portion options could appeal more to seniors or women (though I did finish everything). There are no onsen facilities here nor particularly scenic views due to its location within town; however nearby attractions include Tansu-machi Street lined with Echizen chest furniture shops; Soja Daijingu Shrine enshrining all deities from across Echizen Province; retro-styled Takefu Public Hall Memorial Museum; further afield lies Murasaki Shikibu Park featuring Heian-style gardens overlooking Mt.Hino along nostalgic Furusato walking paths—all offering opportunities for exploring Takefu’s rich history while strolling around leisurely. Despite hot weather during our stay—we appreciated thoughtful hospitality extended by staff members who provided attentive yet friendly service making us feel comfortable throughout our visit at this historic establishment turned accommodation facility. Understanding its unique characteristics allows guests seeking serene relaxation amidst exquisite Japanese architectural spaces paired alongside indulgent culinary experiences truly enjoy their time spent here!

We stayed as a couple in a 6-tatami Room with No Meals Included. The hostess apologized several times for the Room being small, but we made the Reservation knowing that, so it was not an issue at all. We were able to use the private bath smoothly, and it was refreshing to sleep in a space unlike anything we experience in everyday life. If we are nearby again and want to keep costs down, we will stay with you again. Thank you very much.

We made a Reservation for a barbecue lunch. It was disappointing that the price differed by 210 yen from what we were told over the phone, but everything else was fine. The bath was a bit smaller than expected, but the amenities were from MUJI, which was nice. All the staff were kind and even brought bedding for our child who fell asleep during the meal. The Room was spacious, and we were very satisfied.

Excellent services and perfect location! I would love to stay here again if I have the chance.
