Shimogawa Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated for dining 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 stayed here again after several years while visiting my mother’s hometown. Even though the number of guests changed back and forth before our stay, you kindly accommodated us, which was a great help. The meals were also better in both quality and quantity than when I stayed a few years ago, and I was very satisfied—I was completely full. At dinner, the “Okukuji Apple” juice was delicious, so I bought three bottles at the Hotel shop on my way home. If I have the chance, I would like to stay again. I made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

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.

The Accommodation staff were very kind. We also enjoyed delicious meals. The Onsen was great, but it closes at 9:00 PM, so we wish it stayed open a little longer.

I enjoyed staying in a private twin room by myself and had a relaxing time. Both a shower room and a bathtub are available for use. Please note that bath towels, face towels, and toothbrushes are not provided, so don't forget to bring your own. Shampoo and body soap are fully equipped. There is also a convenience store nearby. Parking is available at the back of the building as well. The breakfast was delicious. Next time, I plan to arrive earlier to explore the town!

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.

Even though it was affordable, it was comfortable, with great Facilities and amenities. The food was delicious, and everyone was so kind—it was truly wonderful. I absolutely had to check in about 30 minutes early, but when I explained the situation, they gladly accommodated me, which helped a lot. Also, right after check-in I went to a neighboring prefecture and wasn’t planning to return until late at night, but they were able to accommodate that as well, so I could come back without worry. Because of a chronic condition there are many foods I can’t eat, so I usually give up on Hotel breakfasts—but they carefully asked which seasonings and ingredients were safe for me and prepared a breakfast I could eat with peace of mind. I was so happy, and it was really delicious. This time I went out during dinner hours and couldn’t have dinner here, but if I have the chance to stay again next time, I’d love to try it. Also, since we had a rental car this time, free parking was very appreciated. But it’s also very close to the station, so next time I’d like to come by train and enjoy visiting different Onsen or playing in the river as well. Thank you so much for such a relaxing stay.

Check-in and check-out were simplified, which was very helpful. Thank you for allowing us to relax and enjoy our stay.
