Kawawa Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

Once again, we were able to relax very much as usual. We were satisfied with everything—the cuisine, hospitality, and Facility—and as always, the food in particular was outstanding. We truly enjoyed it together with sake. One request: I believe I mentioned this once before, but would you consider making the soft drinks in the Room refrigerator complimentary? For an Accommodation of Umi no Shogetsu’s caliber, it is rare to find one where soft drinks in the refrigerator are charged. (It’s not a significant amount, but it affects how it feels.) In summer, after soaking in the open-air bath in the Room and stepping out, having only water that isn’t even chilled feels a bit disappointing. If complimentary drinks are difficult, please consider at least providing a pitcher of cold barley tea or oolong tea in the Room during summer. Thank you very much for all your thoughtful arrangements for my wife’s birthday again this time. Next time, we hope to visit again and look forward to enjoying fugu in winter. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

We enjoyed a truly relaxing stay at Hotel de Marronnier. We sincerely appreciate the thoughtful hospitality of all the staff. We delighted in the flavorful breakfast and dinner, and felt refreshed by the impeccably maintained facilities, the salt bath, and the charming open-air bath. Even the Shuttle Service for our return trip was perfectly arranged—this is an exceptional Accommodation we would love to visit again in another season.

I chose this ryokan in Chita because I wanted to enjoy fugu, and their fugu dishes were introduced on the site. My room was upgraded, and during this season, I could see both the sunrise and sunset from the room, making it a truly wonderful experience (I uploaded photos of the sunrise and sunset). Yesterday, there were reportedly over 100 guests staying here, but today it was just us. We had the luxury of enjoying the onsen all to ourselves. I imagine yesterday must have been extremely busy for the staff like a "battle," so we felt grateful yet slightly apologetic for being able to enjoy such a calm atmosphere today. The hostess was very friendly and chatted with us during mealtime, allowing us to relax and have an enjoyable time. The onsen features a unique "stone bath" design where water flows beneath stones, creating a serene bathing experience. The indoor bath is slightly hotter while the open-air bath has just the right temperature—perfect for those who prefer either hot or milder baths. Personally, I loved the temperature of the open-air bath; it was perfect for me! The natural fugu we came here for was absolutely delicious as well. Overall, this accommodation offers a relaxing stay with plenty of time to unwind at your own pace!

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.

From the moment we arrived, the subtle scent of incense in the air and the front desk staff’s beaming smiles left a lasting impression. The Room was spacious and spotless, and soaking in the in-room bath with orchid flowers floating on the water while listening to the sound of the waves was pure bliss. The meal began with exquisite sashimi, and we enjoyed being able to savor a variety of dishes little by little. Since we had mentioned that this trip was to celebrate my husband’s retirement, you kindly provided everything—dishes, dessert, and even a commemorative photo on a photo plate—as complimentary services, which truly moved us as a couple. The post-dinner event was also fun, making it a relaxing yet exciting and memorable one-night, two-day stay. Thank you so much to all of your staff.

I previously stayed at the Nagahama Inter location and liked it, so I chose this one this time. It’s reasonably priced, includes a private bath and shower, and offers light snacks such as frozen foods. There is also a free coffee machine at the front desk. If you just need a place to sleep, it has everything you need. I would stay again.

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.

The cleaning is always thorough, allowing for a comfortable stay. It would be appreciated if there was a Multiple Night Stay discount Plan.

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.

Needless to say, the food was outstanding, and although it differed from our previous visit, it was excellent. After serving the dishes, they did not interrupt unnecessarily, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. Just like last time, the proprietress and staff were cheerful and full of energy, which made us feel very comfortable. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to visit again.

The layout and furnishings were impeccably stylish—everything was perfect. It ranks among the best villas I’ve ever stayed in. They also responded to my questions very quickly, and I’d definitely love to stay again. However, perhaps because it’s close to the mountains or due to the season, it was a shame that the deck and terrace were full of insects at night. I also couldn’t use the open-air jacuzzi on the second floor at night. I understand it can’t be helped, though... Even so, it was such an amazing escape from everyday life that I still want to come back!

In early July, I stayed here with my son. The Ryokan is right in front of the beach, so we could relax while feeling the sea breeze, or unwind in our room while looking out over Ise Bay—it was truly a wonderful time. In particular, the view of the sun setting into Ise Bay as it dyed the sky deep red was unforgettable. As for the meals, dinner featured not only fresh sashimi but also simmered fish, crab, beef shabu-shabu, and even abalone steak—everything was delicious. Breakfast included rice cooked in a traditional kamado stove, along with dried fish, rolled omelet, and small side dishes served in little bowls. Just like dinner, it was excellent. The food at Daito Ryokan offered a great variety and tasted amazing! (Chef’s choice kaiseki course + one additional premium ingredient) The Onsen was also very relaxing. Perhaps because it’s by the sea, the water is slightly salty. The bath area isn’t large, but soaking while enjoying the ocean view is fantastic. Finally, I was comforted by the warm hospitality and smiles of the proprietress and all the staff. When I’m in the Nagoya area again, I’d love to stay here—next time for about two nights. I’m truly grateful for such a peaceful stay. Thank you very much.

The Room feels modern and pleasant. Dinner was delicious, with a great variety of shrimp dishes. However, it was disappointing that the bidet did not work. It seems my friend’s Room also could not use the bidet, so it may need inspection.

All the staff were very kind, and the hospitality was excellent. It was a very comfortable Hotel. I would definitely like to stay here again!

We stayed here for the first time over the three-day weekend in March. It was a wonderful Ryokan well worth the price. With only seven Rooms, it was completely quiet. The baths are not very large, but there is an open-air bath and it is more than sufficient for the number of guests. Our Room also had an indoor bath and an open-air bath, which made it feel special. The amenities are well stocked. The food was high quality, and the portions were plenty for a couple in our 60s. The service was neither excessive nor lacking—thoughtful and genuinely comfortable throughout. The Room and wash area felt a bit dark due to low lighting, but it did not detract from our overall rating. It was a highly satisfying Ryokan that we would love to visit again.

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!
