Nishio Station × Large Room Shared-Sleep AccommodationHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

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!

Thank you very much for taking such great care of our son and his wife and for all your wonderful hospitality! They were both very happy, and I’m sure it became a lovely memory for them!

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.

We stayed during the Obon holiday. The Room was spacious, the meals were delicious, and my elderly mother was very satisfied. All of the international staff were kind and played with our children.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
