Shimogawa Station × Japanese-Style Resort AccommodationHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

Upon arriving at Omoide Roman-kan by car, staff were already there and guided us to the parking area. Their service was polite and pleasant, leaving a great first impression. In the lobby, you can enjoy as many drinks as you like. There were draft beer, sparkling wine, and sake as well. It’s available not only at check-in but also after the baths, and they also had ice pops. No matter what you have, there are no extra charges. The meals offered a wide variety of dishes, all of them delicious. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy local specialties. Here too, no matter how much alcohol you drink, there is no additional fee. The Room was a twin Room, very spacious and spotless. The sofa and cushions were perfect for relaxing comfortably. The baths were excellent as well—the tea open-air bath felt amazing. It’s also great that there is a separate riverside open-air bath. Large public bath before dinner, riverside open-air bath after dinner… I even went in both before and after breakfast. The massage chairs were free to use too. This was my first time staying at an all-inclusive Accommodation, and it was truly exceptional—everything was taken care of for us. I would love to stay again.

I decided to visit Fukuroda Falls and made a Reservation the day before. I quickly received an answer to my question about whether the Room had a washlet, which reassured me (it does). The Hotel feels a bit dated, but the Room was clean. I usually try not to worry about it, but I was slightly bothered by noise from the next room, so I lowered my rating by one. Overall, I was satisfied.

Thank you very much for taking care of us during our stay. The building has a charming atmosphere, and we found the Room very clean, allowing us to relax and rest well. The bath was not too hot, so we could soak slowly and comfortably. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious—everything we tried was wonderful. In particular, the rice and miso soup were exceptionally good. Thanks to the warm hospitality of the proprietress and all the staff, we spent our time with smiles. When we stay in Ibaraki again, we would love to return. Thank you very much.

This was my second stay. This time, I came looking forward to the delicious dinner, determined to finish it all as a personal challenge. I couldn’t finish everything on my first visit and was disappointed, so I made sure to arrive hungry so I could enjoy every dish without leaving anything. For the final unagi rice box, I could choose the amount of rice but went with a regular portion—so once again I felt like I was about to burst. If I come again, I’ll choose a smaller portion! The Room was clean, and it was great that Fukuroda Falls is nearby. The person who came with me said they preferred staying over New Year’s, but I thought both times were wonderful.

The location isn’t particularly convenient, and you won’t get great views from the Room windows, but the Onsen water quality is excellent and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. The meals may not suit younger guests, but for me the portions were just right and everything was truly delicious. With many sightseeing spots nearby, if you’re looking not for extensive Facility features but for great food, a wonderful Onsen, and clean Rooms, I think this is an excellent Accommodation.
