Omigawa Station × Highly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

The property and the Room were very clean, and it was quiet at night with little noise from the hallway or neighboring Rooms, so I was able to rest well. However, since it faces a major road, the loud exhaust noise from groups of modified cars echoed for a while, which was disappointing. Around 4:00 PM on a weekday, no one was in the large public bath, so I could enjoy it in luxury. I also appreciated the free ice cream after bathing. Breakfast was delicious as well. Whenever I passed the cleaning staff in the hallway, they greeted me pleasantly and left a very good impression.

This was my third stay. I usually book a single, but this was my first time staying in a twin Room, and it also had a spacious unit bath with no cramped feeling. However, the jinbei is made of the same fabric year-round, so it felt hot.

The check-in staff greeted me with a pleasant, genuine smile, and their service made it clear that the company’s hospitality training is excellent. The Room key is a type where you enter using a 6-digit PIN, so once you remember it, it’s convenient when going to the bath since you don’t need to carry anything except a towel, and it also feels secure from a safety standpoint. The Room was small for one person and was mostly taken up by the bed, so doing desk work would be a bit difficult, but if you’re just there to sleep, it was spacious enough. However, I have lower back pain and needed a firmer mattress; my back hurt slightly in the morning, so unfortunately it didn’t suit me. You can choose your preferred pillow next to reception, but I don’t usually use one so I didn’t take advantage of this. I love Onsen and used it three times during my one-night stay; by the second time I could feel benefits strong enough to moisturize my dry skin, so I was satisfied. I would have liked a few more hot dishes at the breakfast buffet. There were several kinds of bread available. The tomato dressing for the salad was delicious. There weren’t many side dishes overall, but considering it as breakfast, I also felt it was sufficient. Overall, with good service, cleanliness, an Onsen on site, and breakfast buffet included at this price range, I think this is a Hotel I can confidently recommend. One thing to note is that there aren’t any restaurants within walking distance from the Hotel for dinner, so you’ll likely want to drive somewhere or buy food in advance for peace of mind. Also, alcohol isn’t sold at the Hotel; if you plan to drink in your Room, I recommend purchasing drinks beforehand.

The meals were very delicious. The staff were kind and pleasant. I appreciated the bath’s reheating function. The bath salts were also great. It was a Room that beautifully renovated a traditional storehouse.

The Room and bathroom were very clean. The coffee was especially delicious. Thank you. However, the refrigerator under the TV did not cool properly, and the mineral water remained lukewarm until the next day (even after adjusting the temperature settings).

The Onsen was very relaxing. Having an Onsen and a delicious breakfast was great. There are plenty of supermarkets and places to eat nearby, so I was satisfied. It was a bit hard to notice that basic skincare amenities were available at the front desk.

The bath, the Room, and the meals were all excellent. The bath has a great view and is spacious, so you can relax and take your time. The catfish at the breakfast buffet was especially delicious, so I ended up eating a lot. All of the staff were very kind. (Thank you so much for sending my lost item back to me!) I will definitely stay here again!

This was my first stay. Since I was traveling by car and it was close to my destination the next day, I made a Reservation and stayed here. The price was low, so I expected to overlook a few minor issues, but there was no need to worry—it was well within an acceptable range. There’s no elevator, which made it easy to go back and forth to the car. If the location works for me again, I’d stay here again.

It was my first stay here in a while, and I was happy to feel that familiar comfort again. Breakfast is just as delicious as ever.

The staff were all very pleasant. Everyone was friendly, with smiles and a perfect sense of distance. The Facility is not new but clean. The public bath was also very clean. I especially liked the shampoo and conditioner in the public bath, which left my hair feeling silky smooth. Breakfast had more variety than expected and was delicious. We chose a Room with Airweave bedding, and my family member with back pain found it very effective and was delighted. It felt a bit expensive, but we were glad we chose it. However, one major disappointment was the water area in the Room. The edge of the sink drain hole had mold all over it. I cleaned it before use, and it came off easily—so please ensure this is cleaned beforehand next time! Also, near the sink area, there seemed to be failed caulking or cracks that looked like they could harbor insects—it gave me goosebumps just looking at them! My family also found this unbearable; it's not just my opinion. It was so unsettling that I covered it with tissue paper to get through our stay. If this issue persists during our next visit, we wouldn't be able to stay again—it’s that disturbing of an issue for us! This is such a great Hotel otherwise; please fix these caulking issues as soon as possible for future guests' comfort! Thank you so much in advance!

There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so you won’t have trouble finding a place to eat. It’s also convenient to have a convenience store right in front of the property. The Room was spacious and comfortable. There were no particular issues, so I would like to stay here again.

My last business trip of the year was to Kashima. This time, for the first time in three months, I stayed again at Flexstay Inn Kashima Central. Since it was a one-night stay, I arrived around 6:00 p.m. The renovation work seemed to be finished and the place felt newly reopened, but I did not use the affiliated Onsen Facility. Last time, the Christmas decorations at ART Hotel Central were wonderful... and this time I was amazed by the Hina Matsuri display—Hina dolls covering an entire staircase. Will there be decorations for Boys’ Day in May as well? I’m very curious. The seasonal decorations are truly impressive. I travel to Kashima frequently for work, so I think I will stay at Flexstay Inn Kashima Central again next time. Although I only book room-only stays, I’m always surprised by how inexpensive the bento boxes are at the TAIYO supermarket next door. The location is excellent and reasonably priced, making it my go-to Hotel for business trips to Kashima.

I hadn’t stayed at hostels very often, but I can truly recommend this one as a safe and comfortable place to stay. Because of the typhoon, the trains for the next day were canceled. When we were in trouble and panicking, they kindly worried about us, looked up transportation options, and suggested alternatives—they really went out of their way to help. Thank you very much. The Facility included a proper kitchen where it seemed you could cook and eat anything you like, and there was also a bar counter—at night it felt like you could chat over drinks with the Accommodation staff. We didn’t try it ourselves, but it seemed they offer a healthy breakfast made with freshly picked vegetables. The Room only has a shower (no bathtub), but the design includes a small seat, which made it easy to use. It was an Accommodation that would be a waste to stay at for just one day. If you’re planning a slightly longer stay, definitely consider it. Also, it sounds like the Accommodation staff plan various events to entertain guests, so I’d love to visit again on another occasion.

Due to heavy snowfall the day before, I made a last-minute Reservation because I didn’t think I’d be able to get to work if I went home. Since dinner wasn’t included, I checked in after picking up some food. I was happy to receive one beer as a welcome drink. I headed straight to the bath—had the large public bath and the sauna all to myself, which was incredibly comfortable. The sauna was around 84°C; I did three quiet sets at a relaxed pace. The cold bath is always running with tap water and stays clean. There are two chairs. It’s very comfortable—a Hotel stay–only sauna where you don’t have to worry about other people watching. That alone makes it worth recommending. Breakfast is all-you-can-eat; I ate well, relaxed, and then went to work. I had a comfortable stay without being late, and thank you for the polite service at the front desk. You get service that exceeds the price. It was a great Hotel. I’ll use it again.

Whenever I came back to Asahi City, I usually stayed at Hotel R9, but I heard a new Route Inn had opened, so I made a Reservation with the 30-day early booking Plan. Since it has just opened, it was spotless—check-in was smooth, and having the Route Inn app made it even quicker. The staff were very friendly, and at breakfast their cheerful greetings (“Good morning”) made my day start off great. Next year as well, I will definitely stay at Route Inn Asahi again.

I tend to check the exterior on Google Maps in advance. This time as well, I looked it up beforehand and thought it seemed like an older Hotel, but since it was this price with an Onsen, I decided to stay—and it pleasantly surprised me. The room was very spacious and extremely clean, and the bed and pillows were soft; I slept wonderfully. The only downside was that—though I’m not sure if it was just that day—the Wi‑Fi didn’t connect at all. The Onsen has a great view, but I did notice the shower water pressure was weak and the bath depth was a bit shallow. Still, I’m grateful there’s a large public bath, so it was totally acceptable.

We went on a family trip with elementary school children in grades 1 and 4. We enjoyed playing basketball or table tennis casually in the gymnasium, jumping on trampolines, and relaxing by reading comics when tired. The paid private family bath with artificial Onsen exceeded our expectations and was very enjoyable. Meals, both breakfast and dinner, were simple to prepare yet satisfying. Overall, both kids and adults had a great time, making this accommodation one we would definitely revisit. Next time, we plan to visit in summer to enjoy the pool!

It would be even better if there were a large public bath. A unit bath is a bit… But it’s been helpful.

The Room I stayed in this time was very nice and relaxing, allowing me to spend my time leisurely. The spacious bath was just right for me, as I like it a bit hot, and it was very soothing. I look forward to staying again.

The air conditioning was not very effective. Otherwise, the bed comfort and meals were excellent. I would like to stay again.
