Kazusa-Nakano Station × Highly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

I chose this Accommodation for my boyfriend, who loves saunas. I don’t know much about saunas, but he seemed completely satisfied and kept saying, “The best! The best!”—which made me happy too. Relaxing while listening to the natural soundtrack of the gorge and flowing river was wonderful. We said goodbye to the Accommodation, promising to come back again.

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 stayed one night at Den-en on a dinner-and-breakfast plan. The traditional house has been beautifully renovated and was very comfortable. Each room has its own distinct character, so simply moving from one space to another changes the mood—you can relax without ever getting bored, even while staying indoors. As other guests have mentioned in reviews, it is true that despite the large bathtub there is no reheating function, and the water flow from the tap is low, so it takes time to fill—this is certainly a drawback. However, they had already filled it to some extent for our check-in, so it wasn’t too inconvenient. We also used the sauna; it faces the spacious garden and felt wonderful. Using the sauna may help offset the bathtub issue to some degree. Given that “lodging and dining” comes first in the property’s description, food is clearly an important point—and true to its title as an auberge, everything was delicious. The wine pairing provided also complemented both the meal and the atmosphere of the old house perfectly, making for a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience until the very end. Lastly, the staff’s hospitality was excellent. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and felt refreshed. We would love to return if we have another opportunity.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
