Nishio Station × Accommodation with Tatami Japanese-Style RoomHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

We were able to relax in a quiet setting surrounded by nature. The private open-air bath attached to the room was spacious, and we could unwind in the hot spring water. The amenities—especially ReFa—were excellent. We also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast in our room at a leisurely pace as a family.

A Hotel where satisfaction comes from the thoughtful sum of small details—everything about the Room, bath, and breakfast makes you think, “I’m glad they had this,” rather than relying on flashy services. Comfortable pillows and loungewear, adjustable bright Room lighting, a towel rack, and a key-card power system that controls only the lights (outlets and air conditioning stay on). The large public bath is an Onsen, with partitioned washing areas for privacy. Breakfast is well balanced, with many pre-portioned small bowls and plates so there’s no hassle serving yourself. Staff in white coats even plate items for you with care. Among the many Business Hotel chains, few Hotels deliver this level of satisfaction.

I stayed here a year ago. Last time, there was a water outage early in the morning, so I couldn’t use the toilet or even wash my face—it was very difficult. This time, I’ll write a proper review. First of all, thank you very much for accommodating an additional guest at short notice on the day. The extra bed was absolutely fine. The Room was spacious, had a great view, and above all was very clean. The large public bath was also wonderful. I could relax in the small room with massage chairs as well. My top recommendation is the breakfast. It’s on a completely different level from nearby Business Hotels—excellent. The value for money is outstanding. I honestly can’t believe you can stay at this price. It may be slightly more expensive than nearby Business Hotels, but I was very satisfied. I’m sure I’ll stay again next time. That said, the gym area is modest, and there were times when the Wi‑Fi connection was unstable. Still—yes, absolutely—I will stay again. Thank you very much.

We stayed here with four generations of our family, including our elderly parents. The Room was spacious and very relaxing. Our grandchild loved the kids’ room and played to their heart’s content. The open-air bath in the sky had an amazing view and was wonderful. All the staff were kind, making it a great Accommodation. Thank you very much.

All of the dishes were delicious, and the shabu-shabu and shellfish dishes in particular were outstanding! We could really taste the quality of the ingredients, and we were very satisfied. The service was also very attentive, making our stay truly comfortable. Both the food and service were excellent—this is a Ryokan we would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much!

This Accommodation offers ocean views even from single Rooms—truly a rare Ryokan. The daytime scenery is wonderful, but after dinner, when I returned to my Room, I could watch the lighthouse light floating on the night sea and the lights of fishing boats. It really gave me that satisfying feeling of “I came all the way to the sea.” The meal was fun, with a thoughtfully crafted menu. The sake was also delicious. The portion size was just right for me; if I had to ask for one thing, I would have loved a bit more sashimi (it was excellent). I had no idea that deep-sea fish are landed around Gamagori until I read the explanation. I did wish you could see a little more of the ocean from the open-air bath, but I understand there are various challenges. When I arrived at the Accommodation in the rain, a female staff member greeted me and kindly guided me to the front desk. The next morning at check-out, I was also delighted to meet their resident cat. Everyone seemed naturally considerate and attentive, which made me feel at ease throughout my stay.

It turned out to be a great-value stay for the price! After climbing the very steep hill in front of the hotel and stepping inside, we were welcomed by two owl mascots—the symbol of the property—right in front of the reception desk. They were adorable. Since I was traveling alone, I was able to use the room spaciously. The building itself feels a bit old, but there were no issues with cleanliness or maintenance. The hot spring baths were a little far away, but it didn’t bother me. The water was pleasantly warm, and soaking half-body style felt great. Dinner was kaiseki-style, and rice, miso soup, and tea were self-service. Honestly, it was helpful to be able to choose my own timing for rice and such—I even wished other inns would adopt this system. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you in advance when that time comes.

This was my second stay. It’s a quiet Hotel, and I had a comfortable stay. Coffee was available as a welcome drink, and they also provided ice for iced coffee. Since I stayed during an extremely hot day, I really appreciated it. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and everything was delicious. The chirashi sushi in particular was excellent. The menu featuring local ingredients was outstanding. The lobby is spacious, and having a designated smoking area inside the building was very welcome for smokers. It was a thoroughly satisfying stay.

The Room was well stocked with amenities. The view was great. For dinner and breakfast, you can choose from a wide variety of options.

This hotel is right in front of the ocean, making it a relaxing place to stay. In this season, walking along the beach feels wonderful, and the beautiful scenery was truly soothing. The staff were also kind, making for a very comfortable stay.

As you drive up the winding mountain road with hairpin turns, you’ll eventually spot the Hotel at the top. With expectations rising for a great view… Once inside, the large lobby windows more than delivered, offering a breathtaking panoramic view over Mikawa Bay. In the Japanese-style Room, two beds had been set up—an appreciated touch for us as an older couple. Of course, the view from the Room was spectacular as well. The large public bath had both an indoor bath and an open-air bath at just the right temperature, and it felt wonderful. I wanted to stay in forever, so I cooled off now and then by splashing lukewarm water or cold water on myself to avoid overheating before soaking again. (Laughs) Dinner featured Aichi beef sukiyaki and abalone steak. Both were so delicious I wished I could have eaten more—but after finishing everything served, I realized it was actually the perfect amount. These days buffets are common and I often end up overeating, so having table service in a restaurant like this felt calm and healthy. Okazaki Castle is also about an hour’s drive from the Hotel, and I was happy to be able to reflect on Tokugawa Ieyasu’s legacy there. Within the castle grounds, Mikawa Bushi no Yakata: Ieyasu Museum is thoughtfully designed with well-planned exhibits—I’d love to visit again at a slower pace.

Natural Onsen baths and a wide variety of delicious dishes. It feels like a luxury Onsen Hotel from Japan’s Showa bubble era. There are older and newer wings, and from everywhere we enjoyed stunning views of the calm, rolling waves of Mikawa Bay. The lighthouse was charming and atmospheric. The many sets of Mikawa samurai armor and bridal kimono also gave us a sense of the history of Katahara Castle from the Sengoku period. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality.

The price, service, and facilities were all very satisfying. We visited with our 3-year-old son and used the private bath for 45 minutes, which offered an amazing view. It made us strongly want to visit again. The room we stayed in did not have a bath or shower, and some amenities were paid as mentioned beforehand, so we had no complaints during our stay. The service was excellent, and we are very happy to have found such a great accommodation.

The staff were very pleasant, and overall we were very satisfied. I was a bit concerned about some dark staining around the sinks in the large public bath changing area (it seemed clean and well maintained, though). My grandchild wanted to play table tennis, but it was only available until 9:00 p.m., so we couldn’t, which was disappointing.

I stayed for three nights for the first time in 20 years. The Room hadn’t changed much since then, but the dining area had become much cleaner, and I gradually became friendly with the owner. My companion asked on a whim if they could make fried chicken from the menu, and they kindly did—it truly moved me. I’m not sure when it will be, but I would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

It was a very cute hotel filled with flowers. There were charming touches throughout the property—like a flower bath, a flower-themed refrigerator, and even a dolphin vending machine—so it was fun just walking around and looking at everything. The restaurant was also surrounded by flowers, which really lifted my mood. The food was delicious: the sashimi was fresh, and the charcoal-grilled eel was wonderfully fragrant—I was very satisfied. The drinks were great too, and I ended up enjoying more than I expected. The live piano performance was excellent. All of the staff were pleasant and left a great impression. With its warm atmosphere, we had a wonderful time. I’d love to visit again.

The Ryokan is well-maintained, tidy, and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The staff at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. There is a parking space available for one car per room, ensuring peace of mind when arriving by car. Located slightly off the main road, the Ryokan offers a quiet environment even at night. I would like to use it again if needed in the future.

I’d been interested in this Accommodation for a few years, and finally had the chance to stay here! First of all, the beach is literally right in front of you! There’s also a changing room with showers, which was really helpful. I also appreciated being able to use the parking lot even before check-in. The building itself may be old, but it was clean and well maintained. The meals were delicious and just the right amount. The bath was great too, especially with an open-air bath. If I go to Kira again next year, I’d love to stay at Yamato again. Thank you very much.

I warmed myself to the core in the Radium Onsen and had unadon for dinner. The eel was plump and generously placed on the rice, making it more delicious and satisfying than ever before.
