Around Ōmori Shrine × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

This was my first stay here. I had no idea there was such a wonderful Onsen Ryokan less than an hour from home. The service was excellent, and we truly enjoyed the delicious meals. In particular, the steamed dish with spiny lobster, abalone, and beef was outstanding. The bath in the Room was also wonderful, and I also used the day-use Onsen. After dinner, we relaxed in the Room watching Netflix and YouTube, and the late-night snack was delicious as well. If I had to mention one request, it would be that breakfast starts a little late. As I’ve gotten older I wake up early, so I’d appreciate it if breakfast could start sometime after 7:00 a.m. That said... what disappointed me happened after breakfast. My one real hobby is watching Major League Baseball. These days, the only TV program I watch is MLB on BS channels. Since check-out is at 11:00 a.m., I thought I’d be able to relax at the Ryokan and enjoy baseball until then, so I didn’t record it at home before coming. However... when I tried to watch on the big screen by pressing the BS button, there was no BS broadcast available. I was honestly surprised—I assumed BS channels would be standard at any Ryokan (that assumption is on me). I don’t mind if Netflix isn’t available; but at minimum, I would like BS channels to be accessible. So overall it would have been perfect except for this point, but for Facility/equipment and overall satisfaction I rated it 4 stars.

Since my parents’ home is in Izumisano, I used to watch this place being built every time I came to Sano. This was my first stay here. It was fun to see the familiar station from the Room, and everything was very comfortable. After the large public bath, there are plenty of manga available—like at a manga café—so I’d love to stay again and relax when I’m back visiting family. My child was thrilled too. 　However, because of how card keys work, when you remove the key the power in the Room turns off completely and even the air conditioning stops. So when you come back from the large public bath, the Room is hot, which is inconvenient. At a Ryokan, for example, the air conditioning doesn’t usually shut off like that. Also, only the women’s bath requires an authentication number; while I understand it’s for security reasons, it’s quite inconvenient. Next time, I’d like to watch unlimited movies in the Room and add what looks like a luxurious breakfast. Free Child Sharing Existing Bedding for guests 18 and under is also greatly appreciated.

My three sisters and I stayed here because we had an early flight from Kansai International Airport. It was our first time, and the service was excellent—we were very satisfied. We plan to stay here again next time!

The Onsen water quality was excellent. The seasonal kaiseki cuisine also lived up to its reputation and was wonderful. Nearby, many guests were enjoying river activities and BBQs, which was fun to watch as well. During the wait before check-in, we took a short walk in the mountains and found it cool and comfortable even in summer. It has become one of the places we would like to visit again if we have the chance.

The Room was very clean, which was great. It was helpful to be able to check crowding information for the breakfast venue and the large public bath on the TV. Since the Room was on the 3rd floor and seemed to face the platform, I noticed the noise from passing trains.

I stayed here before (about three months ago) and had a great experience, so I chose to stay again. I was satisfied, as I could relax in the large public bath. As for the amenities, considering the price, I suppose they were reasonable—sorry to mention it. I recommended this place to someone who traveled with me, but it seems they stayed at a different Hotel. Thank you, and I look forward to staying with you again.

I have stayed here many times and really love how comfortable it is and how well equipped the Facility is, so I gifted my son a two-night stay while he was looking for a Hotel for work. It was his first time staying at a Business Hotel, and he was happy that he could relax and recover after being completely exhausted. Thank you very much.

It was my first stay, and the Shuttle Service from the station was very helpful. The most outstanding part was the meals. The abalone liver sauce was especially delicious. The Onsen quality was excellent, leaving my skin smooth and soft, which made me very satisfied. I have booked a different Room type for my next visit. Looking forward to staying again!

The welcome drink (berry tea) was delightful. The Room was clean and functional. I especially appreciated the feature on the in-room TV that showed the congestion status of the bath and restaurant. The bath was also clean, spacious, and had a variety of shampoos available. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide selection of delicious bread. This was my first time staying at Route Inn, and it exceeded my expectations—I'll definitely consider using it for domestic travel in the future.

Highlights Recap: A Thoughtfully Attentive Stay Experience Unbeatable proximity to the airport: After a long journey and a full day of shopping, the last thing you need is more time on the road. This hotel makes the most of its airport convenience, allowing you to drop your luggage quickly and settle in with ease before your flight the next day.

The night stays truly quiet—no disruptive noise—making it easy to enjoy deep, high-quality sleep. Comfortable amenities and thoughtful details: From soft, skin-friendly bedding to well-appointed bathroom fixtures, every detail reflects genuine care for guests—so you can fully unwind and enjoy a moment of relaxation before heading out.

As we’re in an older age group, choosing Stargate Hotel Kansai Airport for a relaxing stay was the right decision. Changing the breakfast buffet to the brunch buffet made it feel like we enjoyed it twice as much. I’m glad we planned our cousins’ get-together.

I was able to relax in a Room with a great view. Thank you very much. The limousine bus the next morning was also very convenient. I look forward to staying with you again.

The sink was a bit shallow, which made it slightly difficult to wash up. However, the bathroom felt spacious since there was no bathtub. I wished the meals had a bit more variety. Still, they kindly accommodated my request for hot tea and provided efficient service, which was pleasant to see. I was very satisfied with the hospitality!

While preparing for a new start and moving, I stayed at this nearby Hotel, and it was a great help that they allowed me to park my car for free even before check-in. The bathroom was a unit bath, but it was spacious with a large mirror, and it was nice that two people could use the sink area side by side. It isn’t new, but it’s comfortable and roomy, and I felt truly relaxed. Every staff member was wonderful.

I stayed overnight after a banquet the other day. The Room felt a bit small for a twin, but the view from the Room (Kansai International Airport was beautifully visible) was great, and I woke up feeling refreshed. It seems to be a relatively new Hotel, and it was very clean. The price with breakfast was also reasonable, and I would stay again if I have the chance. However, since it was my first time, it took some effort to find my way into the parking lot. From the second time on, it should be fine.

They offer a happy hour with unlimited alcoholic drinks until the evening (though there was no beer), which I really enjoyed. After checking in, we stayed in the dining area and had a great time instead of going up to our Room. The front desk staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made us feel welcome. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance.

On my first Reservation, I wasn’t sure of the location, so I called for directions. They explained everything kindly and clearly, and I was able to reach the Hotel without getting lost. It was a big help. The Hotel is close to the station, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would like to stay again.

This was my fifth stay. Despite the high price, it was the worst so far. What was good: The Onsen hopping was as good as always. What was bad: At dinner, I ordered a draft beer, but it took a long time to arrive. When I rang the bell to call staff, the female attendant said, “Was it not served yet?” in an extremely unfriendly manner. Also, although I requested the same Room as last time, I was given one where the sink and toilet were in the same space. There were also steep steps inside, which was difficult for elderly guests. There were no power outlets near the bed, which was inconvenient. The TV couldn’t play YouTube (even though I have an account), which was very disappointing. It felt like an ordinary Room with only a massage chair. I will think twice about staying again next time.

Having stayed at Super Hotel in Nara before, I felt this is an excellent Hotel, with wonderful front desk staff who warmly welcome guests and provide clear explanations.

This was my second stay. Since it was also my second check-in, everything went smoothly. The Room was clean and comfortable. Because it’s a twin, having only one key card was a bit inconvenient. Still, I had a comfortable stay.
