Kawawa Station × Accommodation For Enjoying Autumn FlavorsHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

Following our stay at Shogetsu in Gero, we booked Umi no Shogetsu for our wedding anniversary trip. Both are located on a hill, and the view from the lobby was breathtaking. Binoculars were also provided in the Room. Every dish was delicious. What truly surprised us was receiving spiny lobster sashimi as a celebratory treat—we never expected that. The meat was wonderfully firm and had an exceptional flavor. We also enjoyed comparing Hida beef and Chita beef, not just seafood. For those who still wanted more at the end of the meal, both rice and soba were available, so we were fully satisfied with both quality and quantity. Even if you can’t finish your rice, they will make it into onigiri for a late-night snack. Breakfast also offered a wide variety of items, including five kinds of dried fish that you can enjoy in small portions. If I could make one request, it would be perfect if the drinks in the refrigerator were complimentary. Recently, many Accommodations with an in-room bath offer free drinks in the fridge. That said, all staff members were kind and welcoming with warm smiles, and the Room was spacious. Having ReFa shower fixtures and a ReFa hair dryer was also a big plus. Next time, we would love to stay in one of the single-story Rooms.

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!

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.

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.

The staff were very friendly, and the Onsen was great with pleasantly salty water. The meals were exactly as shown in the photos—fresh and delicious—and the portions were generous. I would like you to prevent cigarette smoke from the smoking area from drifting over.

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.

I was amazed by the relaxed atmosphere of the Ryokan and the many delicious dishes—especially the abundance of fish—along with superb sake. The sunset and evening glow were incredibly beautiful and truly moving.

I had dietary requirements, and after informing them in advance, they accommodated me with great care and attention to detail. Every staff member provided excellent service, and I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much. This is an Accommodation I definitely want to visit 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.

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.
