Kuroyama Station × Top-Selling Stays in the Last 24 HoursHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I had wanted, at least once, to step into “Salon Yamasato,” the private lobby lounge of Koshinosato—I've felt that way for the past 10 years. As we reached our 60th birthdays as a couple, we decided to make a Reservation and treat ourselves at this milestone. We truly loved the cuisine, amenities, and atmosphere. I was deeply impressed by the high-quality meals—it was an Accommodation with impeccable hospitality in every way. Also, the macarons and gelato at Kaho’s salon were absolutely top-class delicious—I couldn’t stop eating them. The flavor stayed with me, and I kept wondering what brand they were. It made me strongly want to come back again. Thank you very much. The concierge staff were also incredibly kind—simply wonderful.

Museum-like decorations were displayed throughout the property, making it a delight to look around. The meals were excellent, and the staff’s service was truly satisfying.

I usually try to live frugally, but something wonderful happened, and this trip was a reward to celebrate all that hard work. The private open-air bath, the delicious meals served in our Room, and this lovely Accommodation that helped us forget everyday life were all exceptional. I will never forget the warm hospitality.

I stayed in Room 311 in GATEI, and the tatami floor creaked a lot, so it might bother some people. Other than that, everything was very good. The bath was hot and kept me warm afterward, which felt great. There is a sauna, but no cold plunge pool, so you can’t use it the same way as a typical public bathhouse. The sulfur Onsen had quite a strong smell, though I thought that added to the atmosphere in its own way. The smell does linger throughout the Hotel, though. I only had breakfast, but it was very satisfying—especially the miso soup.

Two women in our 60s stayed here. We were very satisfied with the meals—especially the rice, which was so delicious that we ended up having seconds even though we were already full. The bottled water in the Room cost 200 yen, so we gave 4 stars as it would have been better if it were free. The baths were not crowded, and we could relax and soak at our leisure; the water was silky-smooth—truly worthy of its reputation as a skin-beautifying hot spring!

This was my fifth visit to Tsukioka Onsen. It was my first stay at Akebono, but Tsukioka Onsen has excellent water quality, and Akebono’s baths were great as well. Since I stayed on the last day of a three-day weekend, it was quiet, and I could enjoy the spacious baths at a relaxed pace. The dinner looked like it would be neither too much nor too little in the photos at the time of Reservation, but in reality it was quite generous and left me very full. Everything was delicious. For breakfast, the side dishes felt like they were meant to go with rice, but they were also tasty—I even had seconds. The rice itself was excellent too, just as you’d expect from Niigata, famous for its rice.

All the staff were kind, and the property was clean. The Hotel did feel a bit dated. Breakfast and dinner were both very delicious—much better than I expected for the price. The Niigata rice was especially good. The complimentary snacks and drinks in the lounge were also nice. Roasting marshmallows over the irori at night was fun. The large public bath and open-air bath, fed by a private hot spring source, were excellent as well. However, it seemed a little different from Tsukioka Onsen’s typical emerald-green water with a thin oily film on the surface. Maybe there is a lot of added water? I’m not sure. Even so, considering the value for money, meals, various services, and how kind the staff were, I think it’s a good Hotel. Thank you for taking care of us. The town area of Tsukioka Onsen is beautifully maintained and very pleasant. It’s an Onsen I would definitely like to visit again.

We had a comfortable stay. Thank you.

I stayed for one night for my child’s appointment. I called several times with questions about my Reservation and changes, and each time the staff were courteous and helpful, which put me at ease. On site as well, they kindly assisted with arranging a taxi, allowing me to have a smooth stay. Breakfast was also delicious. The amenities were somewhat limited, but there was a convenience store nearby, making the location very convenient. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

Among the few pet-friendly accommodations, I chose a no-dinner plan as I had plans during the day and checked in late. Prioritizing cost-effectiveness since it was just for staying overnight. The room was well-cleaned, had a sense of cleanliness, and I was very satisfied. The breakfast was delicious enough, leaving me very satisfied, making this accommodation a definite choice for repeat visits. The onsen at the external bathhouse was also excellent. Thank you very much!
