We stayed to recuperate after an illness during the intense heat. We would definitely like to come again in every season. The view from the Room and the night scenery were very soothing. The hamo hot pot kaiseki was exquisite.

Our room was in a separate annex building. There was a private hot spring bath on the second floor, so we could relax without worrying even with children. The breakfast and dinner were both more delicious than expected. It was a shame there were so many dishes that we couldn’t finish everything. With no unnecessary services, we were able to unwind at our own pace. We’d love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

This was my third stay. After arriving while it was still light out, I first enjoyed Goshobo’s semi-mixed Onsen and the large public bath with its golden Onsen. Since it was summer, even a short soak left me sweating nonstop. In the large bath, I shared the water with someone for the first time here; we had a pleasant chat and ended up soaking a bit longer. Dinner was a lighter, seafood-focused course. The chilled Awaji spiny lobster soup was a perfect match with Koshu wine. The highlight began with sashimi of meita-garei flounder and aged sea bream, followed by more Akashi-ura fish to enjoy. The charcoal-grilled Spanish mackerel and the Akashi sea bream acqua pazza were both seasonal specials you can only have here at this time of year. The broth in the acqua pazza was much lighter than last autumn’s filefish version. To finish, the cheese course left me fully satisfied in both quality and quantity—thank you for the wonderful meal. For breakfast, I switched back to the standard menu: milk, soup, vegetables—an all-around delicious plate—beautiful French toast, and yogurt meant to savor the jam and honey. Everything tasted exactly as good as expected. Even the mini breads were great; this time, the buttery croissant was my favorite. In my Room bath, I topped up little by little while letting it cool slightly, enjoying a pleasantly lukewarm golden Onsen. The breeze through the window felt wonderful: lush greenery everywhere, distant summer skies, murmuring sounds of life outside—and cicadas loud enough not to lose to them. Summer Onsen really is something special. After breakfast I alternated between the golden Onsen and the low-temperature sauna. It was an extremely satisfying holiday stay. Thank you very much. P.S. As always, before check-in I stopped by Sabor for a Tajima-gen burger and a café au lait.

We stayed for one night as a family. Both dinner and the breakfast buffet were very delicious. The Facility felt a bit dated in places, but the Room was well cleaned, and overall we were satisfied. After arriving by car, the Hotel provided a free Shuttle Service to the Onsen town area, which was very helpful and allowed us to enjoy a relaxing walk around. One disappointing point was that when we used the pool, I had confirmed by phone in advance that there would be an air pump, but it was quite old and looked like it had been repaired with duct tape. It ended up leaking air and couldn’t be used, so we inflated our float normally by mouth. The changing room also felt old, and it was disappointing that the floor was soaking wet. Afterward, a female staff member kindly put our swimsuits through the spin dryer for us, which we really appreciated. All of the female staff at reception and at the pool were very kind, making this a wonderful Hotel where we would like to stay again.

It was a bit hard to find when driving to the Hotel, but it was reasonably priced, and Gin-no-Yu Onsen was right in front. It was perfect for a girls’ trip—four of us could stay together, and the Room was spacious. The air conditioning was already on when we entered the Room, which was amazing! We also enjoyed exploring the Onsen town and visiting Kin-no-Yu Onsen. The shops closed early so we had to hurry, but overall we were very satisfied. Thank you!

I was looking for a pet-friendly plan for my first glamping trip and happened to find Gran Apple Kobe Sanda. Since I live next door in Takarazuka City, I didn’t go in with very high expectations, but… I was extremely satisfied—not only with the facilities, but also with the hospitality and service. It easily exceeded my expectations, and we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest! The space for dogs was also spacious, and my family loved it too—we’re already talking about coming back in another season. However, the Wi‑Fi felt quite unreliable, repeatedly connecting and disconnecting. It was a bit stressful when trying to upload photos or videos, so I’d really appreciate it if this could be improved. Overall, my satisfaction level is very high. Honestly, I feel lucky to have found such a great nearby spot where you can enjoy an escape from everyday life!

It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but the scenery along the way is so beautiful that getting there is truly enjoyable. The moment I arrived at the Accommodation and stepped inside, I was genuinely moved by the wonderful atmosphere. Everywhere you look feels like a scene from a drama or novel—surrounded by beautiful architecture and furnishings, I was able to fully enjoy an extraordinary escape. The entire property was also impeccably clean, making my stay extremely comfortable. From my Room, I could gaze out at lush greenery, and the soothing sound of the river was so relaxing that I found myself listening for ages and losing track of time. The baths are private-use only (a large bath and a smaller bath), so I never had to share with other guests. Being able to soak in complete privacy and unwind without any hesitation was something I truly appreciated. And as for the meals—I chose a Plan with both dinner and breakfast included, and both were absolutely outstanding. For dinner, we went to Otowasanso for kaiseki cuisine. Not only was everything beautifully presented, but the dashi flavors were exceptional; I was continuously impressed from start to finish by these delicate dishes unique to Japan. The attendant who explained each course was warm and attentive throughout, which made it an especially happy experience. Breakfast was served on the second floor of Meitokuan. Freshly cooked rice, rolled omelet, grilled salmon, miso soup—each item was simple yet carefully prepared, leaving me feeling satisfied in both body and mind. Both dinner and breakfast were so wonderful that I honestly wished those moments would never end. If you stay at this Accommodation, I highly recommend choosing a Plan that includes both dinner and breakfast—you won’t regret it. Lastly, this was truly a lovely Accommodation filled with thoughtful attention to detail and heartfelt hospitality beyond what I can fully describe. I would love to visit again. To everyone who took care of us during our stay—thank you very much.
