"Kama Jin Villa" is a long-established restaurant, but the accommodation just opened last year. The room we stayed in was built using materials exclusively from Fukui Prefecture. Starting with the entrance's paving stones made of rare blue-green Shakudani stone, the floor frame crafted from fine wood, a simple yet elegant tokobashira (alcove post) that incorporates natural knots, and beautifully grained wood used throughout, you can feel the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture. The wallpaper, sliding doors, and light shades appear to be made of Echizen Washi paper. If you're knowledgeable about Japanese architecture, you'll likely notice craftsmanship details everywhere. On the other hand, the living room with wooden flooring features antique furniture and Echizen-yaki cups for a mix of Japanese and Western styles that surprisingly harmonize to create a cozy space. The bathroom area combines elements of traditional Japanese design with a stylish modern atmosphere. Meals were served in "Kiku-no-Ma," which is also used as part of their restaurant facilities. Dinner included luxurious dishes such as beautifully presented appetizers (hassun), hamo fish soup with grilled eggplant, sashimi platters, Wakasa beef steak, steamed kinmedai fish wrapped in yuba skin, steamed eel and sticky rice wrapped in magnolia leaves—each dish deliciously prepared using premium ingredients. Breakfast featured historical and traditional items like pickled red taro stems (Suko), simmered herring once transported by Kitamaebune ships during Edo times, and local specialty takuan pickles cooked luxuriously—a menu rich in history and tradition. Suko is one item recreated under Kama Jin Villa’s supervision as part of "Murasaki Kibu Gozen," an ancient Heian aristocratic meal displayed at Murasaki Yukari no Yakata Museum. While meals were delightful overall—flavors tended to be slightly strong with generous portions—which might raise concerns about total salt intake for some guests; offering lighter-flavored or smaller portion options could appeal more to seniors or women (though I did finish everything). There are no onsen facilities here nor particularly scenic views due to its location within town; however nearby attractions include Tansu-machi Street lined with Echizen chest furniture shops; Soja Daijingu Shrine enshrining all deities from across Echizen Province; retro-styled Takefu Public Hall Memorial Museum; further afield lies Murasaki Shikibu Park featuring Heian-style gardens overlooking Mt.Hino along nostalgic Furusato walking paths—all offering opportunities for exploring Takefu’s rich history while strolling around leisurely. Despite hot weather during our stay—we appreciated thoughtful hospitality extended by staff members who provided attentive yet friendly service making us feel comfortable throughout our visit at this historic establishment turned accommodation facility. Understanding its unique characteristics allows guests seeking serene relaxation amidst exquisite Japanese architectural spaces paired alongside indulgent culinary experiences truly enjoy their time spent here!

A beautiful Hotel comprising a former Russian Consulate built over 100 years ago and, behind it, a newly constructed wellness wing designed by Makoto Nakayama. The staff kindly explained the building’s history and the vision behind its renovation into a Hotel, which made my stay even more meaningful. The Japanese elm towering in the garden that connects the old and new wings truly felt like a sacred tree, drawing the grounds into a serene world completely separate from everyday life. At the beautifully designed bar, I enjoyed Akkeshi oysters and a vodka cocktail. In the evening, I had sushi at Sushi-dokoro Funami inside the Hotel. The sushi and appetizers prepared by the head chef—who trained at Hakodate’s renowned Kihara—were outstanding; everything was fresh, high-quality, and delicious. Conversation with the chef and staff was also enjoyable, making for an unforgettable time. This time I stayed in a Room in the wellness wing. The view of Hakodate Port was wonderful, and even glimpses of blue sky from the courtyard were soothing. The Room also had a jacuzzi and sauna, allowing me to spend truly fulfilling time there. Breakfast featuring plenty of local ingredients was delicious as well. A book-shaped bread was served, and since I had been told in advance that this Hotel was produced by author Shiho Tanimura, it all made perfect sense. Every member of staff was exceptionally kind and attentive, with outstanding hospitality throughout. It felt like staying here could be the main purpose of a trip to Hakodate itself. I would love to visit again in another season.

Breakfast was a semi-buffet with some items available by table order, which was great. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also pleasant, and I was able to enjoy a truly Hotel-like experience. Thank you very much.

I stayed here for three days while attending Summer Sonic. It’s about a 10-minute walk to Shojaku Station, and the access is excellent with an easy transfer to the monorail at Minami-Ibaraki Station. After returning to the Hotel, the large public bath helped soothe my fatigue. Since there are no Hotels around Expo Commemoration Park, I highly recommend it.

I had a great stay at The Tower before, so this time I chose the Shinsaibashi area! It was very convenient, close to the downtown area. Both the bath and sauna were clean.

This Hotel opened last month, and everything is spotless. I was impressed to be able to use the latest appliances (TV, humidifier, hair dryer, etc.). All the staff were kind and welcoming. The lounge was kept clean no matter what time I went, and the financiers, prosciutto, and juices were delicious. There was also a great selection of alcoholic drinks. I’m not much of a drinker, but the yuzu and plum juices with sparkling water were perfect. In the morning, there were tasty bread and yogurt available as well—just right for a light breakfast. As you’d expect from a small luxury Hotel, the lounge offerings were high quality too. I had a wonderful time here. I’ve found a new favorite Hotel in Kyoto.

Thank you for kindly accommodating our last-minute Reservation just two days in advance! The kids had an amazing time. We’ve stayed at several pool villas, and this was the best by far. We’d definitely love to stay again.

The sea was beautiful, and the Room was clean, so we had a comfortable stay. The teppanyaki dinner was excellent in both quality and portion size, and my elderly mother finished everything. My nephew loved watching the chef cook right in front of us and said he wants to go back to see the chef again (laugh). We were able to spend a wonderful time.

We stayed here two days after the memorable grand opening. The Facility, amenities, and meals were all high quality, and we were very satisfied. As it was right after opening, there were a few moments when the staff seemed slightly inexperienced, but we received heartfelt hospitality that more than made up for it, and it became a wonderful memory for our whole family.

[From Check-in to the Room] We arrived by car and were warmly welcomed. After check-in, we were escorted to our Room while enjoying tea and sweets. [Attractions] We chose one of the two activities and whisked matcha ourselves, then enjoyed tea on the Sky Corridor for a perfect digital detox. There was also a surprise arranged by my wife and the staff for me, which truly moved me—thank you so much. [Dinner] As the title suggests, the meal featured carefully selected ingredients gathered along the Tokaido route and a strong focus on water quality. We’ve enjoyed excellent cuisine at many places (Sekaie, Miwa, Karaku, Mayufutahari, Honbako, Hoshino Resorts, etc.), but this surpassed them all. From the dashi to rice served multiple ways with different textures and aromas, everything delighted all five senses—and our conversation with the staff made time fly by. Personally, I especially loved the rare bonito cutlet and Tajima-Gen beef shabu-shabu with chilled chawanmushi. [Breakfast] It began with wake-up tea. We had two kinds of dried fish (including horse mackerel), both outstanding. As with dinner, rice cooked in a clay pot was excellent—not only as white rice but also as crispy scorched rice enjoyed in hot water (“kogashi-yu”), which was a new discovery for us. Personally, I especially enjoyed the dried fish and simmered vegetables. [Room] A functional Room with thoughtful touches such as aroma oil for stone warming and three types of tea. Since it’s designed for digital detoxing there is no TV. We relaxed slowly in the semi-open-air bath in our Room. [Service] Everyone provided exceptional service—from those who helped arrange our surprise from Reservation through arrival day, to those who whisked matcha together with us as beginners; from dinner service by someone who shared my wife’s name to breakfast staff who kindly accommodated an unexpected request. Each moment became a lasting memory. [Overall] We will definitely return—next time in autumn or spring would be ideal. With such comfortable hospitality from everyone here, this Accommodation is deeply soothing and easy to recommend. Since it has only recently opened up: personally speaking it would be nice to have insect screens on the outer windows by the semi-open-air bath; also given how much care goes into tea and ingredients it might be great to have a small space where guests can buy souvenirs such as tea leaves teaware or dried fish as keepsakes.

I couldn’t forget how moved I was when I visited 30 years ago, so I came back this time. I worried that many things might have changed, but what has been carefully preserved over the years and what has been thoughtfully improved have come together in harmony, making this stay an even more precious memory than before. The food was excellent, the Room furnishings were wonderful, and the spring water felt gentle on the skin. The bath size was just right—not too big or too small—and with only five parties accepted, we could truly relax as guests. Calmly put, that’s how it felt. If I add a bit of personal feeling: first of all, the cuisine is outstanding. Many guests must come back in every season just to eat here. It’s rare to feel so full and still not want to leave a single bite—this made me realize that truly delicious food somehow still goes down. Tomato hot pot, char grilled on magnolia leaf (yamame trout), chilled peach soup, chicken meatball hot pot, Japanese pepper rice, and more…every item on the menu was creative and impeccably tasteful, with superb seasoning throughout. From the sweets served on arrival onward, everything is handmade; hearing that five parties per day is their limit honestly earned my deepest respect. That spirit of hospitality—never sparing time or effort—can be felt everywhere inside the Ryokan, and it reminded me that the very essence of this Accommodation that captivated my mother and me 30 years ago continues unchanged. Another thing they have protected without changing is the mineral spring bath. At first I was confused because the shower flow was weak and lukewarm, but there was a proper rinsing area with hair-washing amenities set out; thinking “why not,” I moved there and washed my hair using buckets of water for rinsing. I could rinse thoroughly, and my hair became smooth and moisturized. It made me smile at how “washing with a shower” had become my default assumption—and at the same time it was fun to imagine different ways to use the bath space as a guest. Both the open-air bath and indoor bath were so comfortable I wanted to stay in forever. There’s much more charm—like the beautiful valley view from the window—that I can’t fully capture here, but this is a beloved landmark Ryokan that I hope will remain for many years to come.

Overall satisfaction was excellent. Opened in April this year, the property retains the charm of an older building. The food was delicious and made with carefully selected ingredients; while the flavors were slightly strong for an elderly couple, it was still within an acceptable range. The owner is very young and shows a commendable effort to listen attentively to guests' feedback. We believe there is great potential for further improvement and wish them continued success!
