Kawawa Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHot springHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

We enjoyed a BBQ at the neighboring facility and walked over with our luggage, so we arrived earlier than expected. We planned to wait in the lobby, but they told us our Room was ready and we were able to check in right away. We really appreciated it. The next day, they also provided Shuttle Service to Kowa Station, which was very helpful. The view from our Room was amazing—it was truly relaxing. From the Onsen, you could even see the horizon through a small window. The cave-style bath warmed us up nicely, and there were also a sauna and a jet bath, so we felt completely refreshed.

I made a Reservation for my daughter’s birthday. We were warmly welcomed on arrival by car, and the experience began with a matcha tea service. The semi-private dining area for dinner was decorated for her birthday, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful touch. The meal was also delicious. We chose a Room with an open-air bath, but there were quite a few stink bugs, which was the only slight disappointment. Of course, insects are part of nature and can’t be helped, and overall we had a wonderful stay.

Staying at this price during the Obon holiday is wonderful. Although the exterior looks a bit worn, the inside has been nicely renovated and we were able to stay comfortably. The meals also offered sufficient quality and quantity for the price. However, perhaps because it was Obon, dinner felt drawn out as it took quite a long time for the next dishes to be served. That said, it was an Accommodation with excellent value for money and a high level of satisfaction.

The Room’s open-air bath was wonderful. The meals were more than enough for women; men might find them a bit light, but for those who drink alcohol, I felt they were sufficient. I think it would be better if breakfast times were staggered. The staff’s sense of distance also felt very comfortable to me. Sorry to mention this at the end. Thank you very much.

Just before the Obon holidays, my family suddenly decided they wanted to go to an Onsen, so we looked nearby and chose this Accommodation because it had availability and seemed well reviewed. I had seen a Review elsewhere saying the Room lighting was dim, so I was a bit worried, but it wasn’t as dark as I expected. (That said, the labels on the switches next to the bed were hard to see, and I accidentally turned off the air conditioner in the middle of the night.) The bigger issue was the sink in the Room: the faucet was hard to turn with wet hands, and the drain strainer was a cheap-looking white plastic one like you’d find at a 100-yen shop. It looked bad and clogged quickly, which was inconvenient. Even 100-yen shops sell strainers with covers, so I’d appreciate it if you could at least switch to one of those. Because this is a small Accommodation, we rarely ran into other guests in the bath and could relax. Also, since tatami mats were laid on the floor, even my family member with mobility issues felt safe. We were able to enjoy our meals in private rooms assigned by each group; the portions were just right for women and everything was delicious. I may have been strict about some Room features, but overall we were satisfied. Thank you very much.

Dinner was an all-you-can-eat sukiyaki, and I was amazed by the incredibly tender and delicious meat. Breakfast included a variety of side dishes that went perfectly with unlimited rice, plus grilled meat in the morning! However, the site did not mention that dinner would include crab and sashimi platters or that breakfast offered unlimited shirasu (whitebait) and eggs. Even considering those points, the meals were absolutely fantastic. Additionally, during both breakfast and dinner, there were 2L bottles of juice available for unlimited refills (hot coffee and tea were also provided). Of course, the bath was amazing too. Unlike some reviews mentioning private baths being too hot, it was at a perfect temperature where you could comfortably soak for 30 minutes!

I booked a plan that included dinner. The room was just the right size for spending time with my family. The shower room in the room felt a bit small, but there were no issues using it. Dinner was excellent, with plenty of seafood to enjoy. There was so much food that we couldn't finish it all... We felt sorry about that. Overall, we were very satisfied. Thank you very much!

It was the end of summer vacation, and only one other group was staying there. We had a barbecue by the pool and bought seafood (shrimp and shellfish) at nearby Uotaro to eat. The Room was spacious, and there were chairs on the terrace as well. We were able to spend a relaxing time. The open-air bath in the guest room was excellent, and our family used it many times. We’d like to visit again.
