Nishiookata Station × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

Everything was excellent. The Room even had a massage chair. The bathroom was separate from the toilet and very spacious. Bicycle rentals were also available. I can’t believe it at this price. I’d love to stay again!

Overall, I was satisfied.\n\nThe only thing that concerned me was that, although my check-in wasn’t particularly late, the futons had already been laid out in the Room.\nIn the hot summer season—especially in Shimanto, where you may have been playing in the river or at the sea (or even if not)—you’re likely to be sweaty. It was a bit disappointing having to be careful not to step on the futons no matter what I did. Of course, if check-in is late, I understand it makes sense for efficiency for the staff who prepare them. Since dinner time is specifically confirmed at check-in, I would have preferred if they could lay them out while we were having dinner.\n\nThe meals, the Onsen, and the Room were all relaxing and very enjoyable.

The front desk staff were very helpful, and the Yakumo breakfast on the second floor was beautifully presented, delicious, and offered a wide variety of dishes—we were very satisfied. It was a lovely Hotel that made us feel at home.

Thank you for taking care of us for two nights. We weren’t on a trip to relax at the Hotel; we were out during the day, and it was perfectly comfortable to have breakfast and head out without any inconvenience. Even with children, everyone at the Hotel was kind and warmly looked after us. If I had to mention one thing, the large public bath alternates between men and women, so we couldn’t use it because the timing didn’t work out. Still, considering the price with breakfast included, it felt like an unbelievably good value. Thank you very much. I’d like to stay again if I have the chance.

It was great that there were saunas for both men and women! We could play table tennis for free too, and my spouse and I had a lot of fun!! We received one free cup ramen per person, one ice cream after the bath, plus candy and Umaibo snacks! These little perks honestly made us so happy!!! They also had toner, moisturizer, and makeup remover. After the bath, we could drink free tea and lemon water as well—it was wonderful! We’d love to stay again!

It was my first time visiting Shimanto City. Due to the rain the day before, the Niyodo River and the Shimanto River were muddy, but soaking in the Onsen was wonderfully relaxing. The water was excellent. I am very grateful to the Accommodation staff for driving me to my dinner location. Although I only had breakfast at the Accommodation, there was a wide variety of dishes and everything was delicious. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Although the weather felt like the rainy season had returned, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the observation room (Gekko). Because the building is located on a hill, we had a clear view of the Shimanto River and the surrounding mountains. The Onsen water was excellent, with a slightly silky texture. For dinner we chose Sawachi cuisine featuring local dishes, and this time it was served as individual small plates rather than one large platter. Overall, I think it was a truly wonderful Accommodation. However, please drive carefully—the Accommodation is reached only after an extremely winding mountain road (narrow roads). Also, although it looks like it’s only about 5 minutes to town (convenience stores, etc.) on the map, as mentioned above it’s up in the mountains, so at night it’s pitch-dark and very dangerous! If you want to bring alcohol or cigarettes (the smoking area is outside the building), I recommend buying them before check-in. One more thing: they lend you samue loungewear, and it was made from incredibly comfortable fabric—perfect to wear. (If they sold it, I definitely would have bought it! It really was that comfortable.) I’ve stayed at several places near the Shimanto River before, and I can genuinely recommend this one. Lastly, thank you very much to all of the staff.

Because rain was forecast, I made a Reservation the day before. I arrived before check-in, but they kindly let me park my motorcycle under the eaves, so I could do some maintenance without getting wet—this was a huge help. They also recommended a nearby izakaya and even made a Reservation for me, so I was able to enjoy delicious local dishes with local people. When I go touring in Shimanto again, I’d love to stay here. Thank you very much.

Its location is perfect for getting around, so I stay here several times every year. The breakfast bread and coffee are delicious. I usually choose an ocean-side room, but this time there were no vacancies so I stayed on the mountain side. The Facility seemed up to date, and I felt the mountain side is a good option too. I will stay again.

As the title suggests, I had a comfortable stay through the night. Thank you as always. I look forward to staying again.
