Shin-Tanabe Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

We arrived by car, parked at the Hotel, and walked five minutes to AEON to watch an evening movie and have dinner. The breakfast area was spacious and clean, with counter seats by the window (the view is only of the parking lot). The scrambled eggs were delicious. It was also great that we could watch YouTube as a guest. We will stay again.

Even though I arrived much later than the check-in time, the staff kindly accommodated me. I also enjoyed the wide variety of baths! Just one thing: many guests were barefoot inside the building, which I understand since it’s an Onsen, but if possible, it would be nice to have Japanese-style indoor footwear available (the disposable slippers in the Room were a bit small and hard to walk in), so those who want to wear them would have that option. Sorry for such a luxury request. I’m grateful to the kind front desk staff and to everyone on the team.

I was able to stay at a great price by making a last-minute Reservation the day before. It’s conveniently located near the station and faces the shopping street. The room was clean, and I had a comfortable stay. Since I stayed on Sunday, many restaurants were closed, which was a bit disappointing. Byodoin Temple is within walking distance. If I have the chance, I would like to stay at this Hotel again.

We stayed during Silver Week. Check-in went smoothly with no issues, and the Room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. It was also helpful that we could use the Hotel’s paid parking lot by applying in advance.

We stayed as a family of three. Since it was just us, we could relax without worrying about others, and the bath was so spacious that even stretching out my legs left plenty of room—it really helped us unwind. Even with our luggage spread out, it didn’t feel cramped at all. Having a washer-dryer was also very helpful.

My friend loves architecture, so we stayed here. The Room and garden were beautiful, and it was a wonderful space to relax while enjoying the view. At check-in, they kindly explained the building in detail, which made it a great experience. Rather than a Ryokan, it truly feels like staying in an “old house” just as it is. For two people, the large hall felt a bit too spacious and slightly unsettling, so I think this house would be even more enjoyable with a larger group. Thank you for this valuable experience!

The Room was clean and conveniently located near the station, making it easy to get around.

We stayed as a family of four, and the location was great—less than a 10-minute walk from Byodo-in Temple, with views of the gently flowing river. The owner was friendly and pleasant. The bath is shared, but since there are only two groups, it didn’t seem to be an issue. Along the nearby approach road there are tea shops lined up, and there are a reasonable number of places to eat dinner in the area. Above all, the price is very affordable. There is no parking at the Accommodation, but there is a coin-operated parking lot right next door. Since it has a maximum daily rate, even if you park in the evening and leave it until the next morning while visiting Byodo-in Temple, it won’t reach 2,000 yen.

We stayed as a family of five, including three children! The Room has a toilet, shower room, and electric kettle. We stayed in a second-floor Room, and right after going down the stairs there was a shared kitchen with a microwave, toaster, rice cooker, and more. There was also a dispenser where we could easily get water, tea, and coffee. There is a supermarket about a 10-minute walk away. Wi-Fi is available too! If I had to ask for one thing, it would have been nice to have a TV.

I used this accommodation for work and travel in Kyoto (with my family of four). Since accommodations in Kyoto city were expensive, we decided to stay here as we were traveling by car. It takes about 30-40 minutes from Kyoto city, and there is an onsen facility nearby, along with restaurants and supermarkets, which was convenient. The hotel facilities were clean, the room was spacious and comfortable. The parking lot was also large and convenient. Breakfast was great as well. I think I will choose this place again next time. Thank you very much!

The phone service was excellent, so I looked forward to my stay. The front desk service was also good, and the room was very clean and comfortable. I went to the Genji no Yu bath.
