Kazusa-Nakano Station × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

This was the most wonderful stay I’ve ever had at any Accommodation, in Japan or abroad. Onsen: Not only is the water quality exceptional, but the temperature is perfect—so soothing you’ll want to soak again and again! Room: Impeccably clean, beautifully styled, and incredibly comfortable in every way. A space that lets you completely forget the noise of everyday life. Dining: Each dish felt like a work of art, with delicate seasoning throughout. We enjoyed local seasonal ingredients at their very best, and every bite was moving. Above all, the staff’s hospitality was outstanding. With a perfectly balanced sense of distance while anticipating even our smallest needs, their thoughtful service truly impressed us. Their warm smiles and kind words were deeply comforting. Without a doubt, this is my best Accommodation ever. I will definitely be back as a treat for myself. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

I was very satisfied with the meal selection and timing, as well as the attentive service from the staff during meals. The Room also offered a lovely view of the green mountains, and best of all, it was quiet with no hustle and bustle, so I could truly relax. The bath was a bit far and required walking across floors; since this stay was in summer it was fine, but if I have the chance to stay in winter, I think it would be nice to have a long-sleeved jacket to wear over the yukata. Both dinner and breakfast were light yet satisfying, and every dish was delicious. In the morning there was complimentary coffee, which was perfect for a relaxing moment before departure. I would like to stay again when traveling in Chiba. Thank you very much.

We stayed with our 4-year-old daughter for my husband’s birthday. After making a Reservation, they kindly confirmed by phone and accommodated our last-minute request for a birthday plate as much as possible. Both the staff on the phone and the team on site were all warm and attentive. There were plenty of kid-friendly activities, such as playing in the river behind the property and fireworks at night, which made it a very satisfying trip. They were also very kind to our child, and she says she wants to come again.

We visited last year and had an amazing, great-value summer with river play, BBQ, fireworks, and more—perfect for our family with young children—so we came back again this year. We made a mistake during the Reservation process, but the staff kindly helped us, and we were able to make more wonderful summer memories. With easy access from central Tokyo, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy glamping casually.

An unbelievably low price of 6,000 yen during the Obon holiday period. At this price, you can swallow a few complaints. Best for people who just want something cheap and don’t care about the details. Not suitable for couples or families. - After arriving at the Hotel, we were told we couldn’t use the large public bath. A nearby Onsen was already closed, so we used the Room’s unit bath. Hot water did come out properly. - The Room is old and feels a bit scary. - Breakfast is basically a free add-on: only a little bread, rice, and a small amount of side dishes. The miso soup tasted like it hadn’t been checked. - The staff were pleasant; I just wished the owner would improve things a bit more. It was fine because I stayed with friends. If it had been with family or a partner, the mood would have dropped…

We came back for a second try to see the fireflies after missing them last year. Perhaps thanks to the good weather and temperature that day, we were able to enjoy a breathtaking display of fireflies like a sky full of stars—it was truly moving! Being welcomed by the cats was also very soothing. We’d love to visit again next year.

While planning our Golden Week trip, I happened to be drawn to the place name and this Accommodation’s name and made a Reservation. This is an Accommodation created by restoring a traditional old house, and this time we stayed in a Room renovated from a storehouse. Right after making the Reservation, I noted that we would have a wheelchair user, and I truly appreciated your courteous call in response. Thanks to that, we were able to arrive feeling at ease on the day. Staying in a storehouse was a first-time experience for us, and the delicious farm-to-table breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were wonderful. The great-value selection of wines was especially irresistible for wine lovers. I also loved how the original structure blends with the renovated elements—personally, I’m fond of glasswork and fittings—so this place was filled with delightful details. I also learned that “Roven,” the Accommodation’s name, refers to their signature roll cabbage dish being slowly finished in an oven. It was an exceptional dish that completely changed my idea of roll cabbage—I want to eat it again soon. Even though it was Golden Week with crowds and traffic everywhere, Otaki Town felt unhurried; it has that nostalgic “good old Japan” hometown atmosphere—a town where you can truly feel “many great joys,” just as its name suggests. We’re very grateful for everyone’s kindness. Next time, we’d like to stay longer—explore more of town and ride the Isumi Railway as well. On our way home, my husband and I found ourselves happily talking about when we should return next time with our family. Thank you very much.

I’ve stayed at several Accommodations that welcome dogs, but this was the first place where I never once felt restricted “because we have a dog.” Surrounded by nature, it’s a truly soothing space for both people and dogs. I was amazed by the huge 1,200-tsubo lawn garden and even a pool where people can swim too. I was genuinely happy to be able to relax and let my dog roam freely. And I was surprised to be able to enjoy an Onsen in Chiba. What’s more, our Room had a luxurious open-air bath carved from a massive stone! Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time without worrying about others was the best. Another great point for us was having a two-bedroom layout—an absolute must for our family. I never imagined traveling with our dog could be this comfortable, free, and luxurious… It truly was an amazing time. A wonderful Accommodation where both dogs and people can forget everyday life and fully unwind—we’d love to visit again.

I have stayed at vacation rentals several times, but this was the first time I experienced such a private space. The unique experience of being surrounded by bamboo was extraordinary and felt like an escape from everyday life. However, perhaps due to the winter cold, the sauna did not reach a high temperature, which might be unsatisfactory for those who prefer it hotter. Additionally, there was a hole blocked by bamboo on the other side of the bath that felt unsafe. For this reason, I rated the Facility slightly lower. Other than that, it is a place I would love to visit again and highly recommend!

The Ryokan is old but very clean, and the Room has been renovated and is beautifully maintained. The futon is made up of multiple stacked mattresses, giving it a nice height and exceptional comfort. The black hot spring bath fits up to three people; it isn’t large, but the water is pleasantly lukewarm so we could soak and relax. Above all, the meal portions were outstanding—yuba (tofu skin), thick rolled omelet, salt-grilled ayu with roe, freshly fried tempura, a meat hot pot, rice, and much more—everything was plentiful and very satisfying. Everyone was very kind, and I would love to stay here again when visiting Yoro Valley.

The accommodation has been renovated, and both the rooms and dining area are very clean. The cleaning is thorough, providing a sense of cleanliness, and the meals were satisfying. I especially enjoyed the soy milk hot pot. The onsen can be reserved for private use at night, which was also great. It’s quiet with natural surroundings, and the location near Yoro Valley is excellent. Since there are almost no amenities provided, I brought my own cosmetics and coffee. As an accommodation where you can relax in an onsen for around 10,000 yen per person, it offers high satisfaction. I would love to visit again next time and try staying in a room along the stream.

Based on the Reviews, I didn’t have a very good impression at first, but the location seemed ideal so I made a Reservation. As soon as I arrived at the Accommodation, I was pleasantly surprised—the Room was spotless, and the bath was a comfortable Onsen with nothing to complain about. Given the location, I assumed dining at the Accommodation would be my only option, and the meal I reserved was also very delicious. Please let me stay again!

Staying here after playing golf was very helpful when planning the next day. However, the Room lighting is dim and the TV is small, so it’s hard to see from the bed. It may be a bit difficult to use for work in the evening or later.

My sister and I stayed here the night before a golf trip, and it was amazing! From the outside it looks like a castle, so we wondered what kind of Hotel it would be, but the Room was spotless, the bath was spacious, and the front desk staff were truly wonderful. The complimentary breakfast was exactly to our taste... It was such a great place that we even promised each other, “Whenever we stay the night before again, we’ll definitely choose here!” We caused trouble by making various mistakes and even getting locked out of our Room, but you handled everything so politely without showing any annoyance—thank you very much. You also helped us with a forgotten item for a separate matter, and we can’t thank you enough. We look forward to staying with you again!

Just before summer vacation, we decided on a whim to take our dog and head to Katsuura as a family, and started looking for an Accommodation—then, miraculously, we were able to make a Reservation with Konta-san, and we couldn’t wait. The vast grounds and the stunning lawn were impressive from the moment we arrived! Stepping inside was even more amazing!! We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderfully soft wooden house, lovingly maintained down to every detail. Spending time with the friendly, animal-loving couple—and meeting their adorable goats and dogs—was pure bliss. We’ll definitely be back; next time we’d like to visit in winter. Thank you very much.

While searching for a way to create memorable experiences during our long-awaited trip back home, we came across this beautiful Green Villa. Although everything was new to us—moving in, handling procedures, and even cooking on an electric stove which took more time—we managed through the chaos as beginners. Our grown-up children helped with the BBQ and seemed to enjoy themselves, making it a truly wonderful memory for all of us.

We stayed with 11 people across three families. IKYU only allows Reservations for up to nine guests, but when we contacted the property, they were able to accommodate us.\n\nBecause of the location, there are quite a few insects, but we even found stag beetles and enjoyed bug catching. If you like saunas, there is also a cold plunge pool, so you can really enjoy it.\n\nI recommend using the amusement floor even if it costs extra. The karaoke and darts machines were fairly new, and someone was playing throughout our stay. It wasn’t listed under the Facility details, but having an ice maker was a nice plus.\n\nThe dryer is a drum type, so large loads took some time.\n\nWe would definitely like to stay again.
