Ōwada Station (Shizuoka Prefecture) × Accommodation With In-Room Climate ControlHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

It was our first time glamping, and we really enjoyed it! The BBQ was great because the ingredients were provided and there was no cleanup to do. The open-air bath, the cool tent, and the fireworks we did for an additional fee were also wonderful and made us feel like kids again. However, there was no air conditioning in the shower room or toilets, so it was a bit hot for this season. When we turned on the lights, lots of bugs swarmed in and it felt pretty unpleasant, but thinking of it as part of camping helped us appreciate being close to nature. We were bothered by how loud some other guests were, but that’s just bad luck. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay!

We stayed as a couple. Many Accommodations today try to satisfy guests by having everything fully equipped, but this place isn’t about that. Instead, the landlady who handles everything on her own offers such thoughtful care, warm hospitality, and attentive service that it more than makes up for it—an Accommodation that left us truly satisfied. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed local sake as well. They prepared an irori hearth and even set up a brazier outside so we could enjoy stargazing, and they also provided hot-water bottles—unique pleasures different from the usual stay. An Accommodation that satisfies the eyes, ears, stomach, and heart; we’d love to visit again.

Onsen: It was easy to reserve it for private use, and I went in many times. It leaves your skin feeling smoother. Meals: Absolutely delicious! I was so full that I couldn’t finish dinner—sorry. Facility: It’s old. The air conditioning wasn’t very effective. Some parts of the floor felt a bit sunken, and the toilet was Japanese-style (squat). There was no hairbrush provided. Overall, I highly recommend it. The staff are soothing and make you feel at ease. I’d like to stay again.

I stayed for one night on a weekday. Coincidentally, we were the only guests that day, which was nice, but the view stretching from the town below to the sea was breathtaking. The night view from the room was also stunning and thoroughly enjoyable. The hosts were pleasant, the food was delicious, and while the building itself is ordinary, it was impeccably clean with no complaints at all. Since it is located slightly away from highways and towns, I highly recommend it for those who want to enjoy sunrise or night views in tranquility.
