We stayed 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 a little inexperienced, but more than that, we received heartfelt hospitality and it became a wonderful memory for our whole family.

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.

I had the pleasure of revisiting the enchanting Sasayuri-an. After an unforgettable experience at "Kozuno," this time I stayed in another building, "Zao." About a month ago, I was fortunate to connect with Sasayuri-an and was deeply touched by the warmth of the owners. Since then, I eagerly anticipated my return. My expectations were high due to my previous wonderful stay, but this visit exceeded them in every way. The moment we stepped inside, everyone let out a gasp of awe—it felt like stepping into another world. This 150-year-old traditional thatched-roof house is a perfect blend of historical beauty and modern comfort, truly a hidden gem. The stunning terraced rice fields visible through the windows and the star-filled night sky created an extraordinary atmosphere. The space is both majestic and refined yet evokes a nostalgic sense of comfort. Above all, the exceptional hospitality from the owners provided deep relaxation. The owner's passion for detail is evident everywhere—from beams relocated from a 400-year-old structure to speakers once used by Ryuichi Sakamoto—making every conversation with him fascinating and inspiring. Despite visiting in February's cold weather, thoughtful touches like fireplaces, discreetly placed air conditioners that preserve aesthetic harmony, and oil heaters along hallways ensured warmth throughout this spacious accommodation. The owner also practices as a Yamabushi (mountain ascetic) alongside managing his business. During our stay, we had rare opportunities to experience waterfall meditation and fire rituals under his guidance while enjoying stories about Shugendo around an irori hearth—a truly memorable experience! Evenings were spent chatting by irori flames or soaking in herbal baths within cypress tubs to unwind completely; mornings began with delicious coffee paired with breathtaking views of Japan’s timeless rural landscape—a blissful retreat indeed. Sasayuri-an offers an unparalleled escape from urban chaos where both mind and body can rejuvenate fully—a genuinely special place worth cherishing forever! Although we rarely revisit accommodations multiple times ourselves here feels different; it’s somewhere precious enough always wanting return alongside loved ones again someday soon! With facilities such as pizza ovens BBQ setups campfire areas ready springtime glamping plans already excite us looking forward next visit ahead!

We stayed as three families, and it was very convenient: we could secure separate bedrooms, and there were two bathrooms, two sinks, and two toilets. The kitchen is simple but easy to use, and we enjoyed relaxing meals while watching the kids play on the hammock in the next room. There was no explanation of the Diamond benefits, so we weren’t sure about the checkout time, but we ended up needing to leave early anyway—so it worked out fine! Highly recommended!

I made a reservation as a birthday gift for my beloved. Wanting him to refresh from daily fatigue in the countryside, we enjoyed the perfect space and time. The place was clean, calming, and comfortable even though it was our first visit. The indoor charcoal grill experience was fantastic. Ingredients were well-prepared and easy to use, with the option to bring additional items for cooking—meals were truly satisfying. At night, we enjoyed drinks together, had deeper conversations than usual, and spent an incredibly fulfilling time. We definitely want to come back here together again!

A quiet cottage at the entrance to a forest on a hill. There are two horses on the property. (Lala and Niji.) Just beyond the dog-run garden is their paddock, and it was so relaxing to watch them calmly grazing from the living room window. The cottage itself is spacious, with high vaulted ceilings, and we were able to spend a truly restful time. It was very thoughtfully equipped with cooking utensils, amenities, insect repellent, mosquito coils, and more. If you walk up the small path next to the cottage that leads into the woods, you can enjoy a forest stroll. It also seems to be used as a campsite, with well-maintained footing, and in the morning we enjoyed some forest bathing with our dog. Nojimazaki Lighthouse and Okinoshima are also nearby, so we were able to fully enjoy both the sea and the mountains. Next time, we’d love to visit in a season when we can enjoy the wood-burning stove. Thank you very much.

Everything was excellent.

Stayed for 2 nights and 3 days at the end of July 2025. Surrounded by lemon groves and located near the seaside, it was a perfect spot to relax. The optional sea kayaking experience was enjoyable even for beginners, thanks to the kind guidance provided, and our children were thrilled. For meals, we had a barbecue on the first day and ordered a gourmet box on the second day, which included fresh vegetables and wild boar meat—absolutely delicious! We also enjoyed the sauna and campfire, making it a wonderful summer vacation!

The room and garden were spacious and very comfortable. I would like to use it for a Multiple Night Stay during my next long vacation.

A wonderful space where I could experience an extraordinary time. Upon entering the Room, I was greeted by a pleasant fruity scent. It was a lovely Room, clean and decorated with stylish accessories. I was feeling a bit peckish, so having cute donuts prepared was a thoughtful touch. In the evening, I enjoyed a barbecue using the barbecue kit set up on the outdoor balcony, with seafood I bought as the main dish! The view of the sea from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and I was able to spend a relaxing time watching the sunset. I definitely want to use it again!

We stayed with a group of 8, including my parents and my sister's family. It was our first time staying at a Vacation Rental for just one night, with check-in at 4 PM and check-out at 10 AM, so we were initially concerned about the short stay. However, since there were no guests before or after us this time, we were able to enjoy a free early check-in at 3 PM and a paid late check-out at 12 PM. This allowed us to relax more than expected, resulting in high satisfaction. Additionally, we appreciated being allowed to store food items (fresh ingredients and beverages) brought from home in the Facility's refrigerator after noon. This made dinner preparation smoother and more convenient. For dinner for my parents, I wanted to prepare sashimi and ordered it from Yamatsune Fresh Fish Shop near Ito Station based on online research. In hindsight, local sashimi or spiny lobster available at Maxvalue near Izukogen Station would have sufficed as well. During a walk near the Facility, I discovered Kanemitsu Suisan nearby; according to online reviews, it seems excellent for sashimi reservations when staying here. Regarding the Facility itself: unfortunately due to heavy rain during our stay, having the bath and sauna located downstairs was slightly challenging for my elderly parents. However, for most people this detached setup could be seen as an advantage—it was very nice overall! One suggestion would be adding waterproof speakers in the bath area for music playback. The dishes, glasses, living room furniture (table/chairs), lighting fixtures, plants—all items within the Facility—were stylishly curated without anything disappointing us; we had an enjoyable time throughout our stay. For those considering similar concerns: please note that this Accommodation operates as private lodging (minpaku). You may not expect much direct communication with staff post-Reservation completion—phone calls typically connect you only via automated voicemail where messages can be left but may not receive callbacks promptly; email correspondence became possible only days prior instead of earlier engagement like other IKYU.com Vacation Rentals we've experienced before which caused some initial unease despite FAQs covering most queries adequately on their website already. Ultimately though—the quality offered by this Accommodation is exceptional! Approaching your stay understanding these aspects should ensure an enjoyable experience overall!

Feel the closeness of nature and listen carefully: the rustling sound of bamboo leaves swaying in the wind, the chirping of insects and birds, and the moon floating in the vast sky. It was a time when my heart resonated quietly, deeply healing my soul. The open-air bath had water at just the right temperature, while the indoor bath was enveloped in a soothing aroma of cypress. The large sauna and cypress cold bath were also relaxing, and stepping out onto the terrace revealed an extraordinary view reminiscent of Bali or an overseas resort. This liberating accommodation where you can walk around freely feels truly unique. In the spacious living room, we enjoyed conversations at the counter, while in the large bath I shared luxurious moments talking with my daughter. Convenient for sightseeing as well—morning walks through silver grass fields, cycling visits to Hakone Shrine and Kuzuryu Shrine. We rode on Motomiya Ropeway, had a Japanese lunch at Yamano Hotel after checkout, followed by a leisurely time at a café. We fully enjoyed our trip to Hakone to its fullest extent. The accommodation was impeccably clean everywhere we went, making it comfortable throughout our stay. It’s an unforgettable experience that made us say “perfect” countless times from our hearts. We would love to visit again!

There is a swallow’s nest above the entrance, and when you step inside, a wide earthen-floored space opens up in front of you. Although it’s a traditional Japanese house, it has been renovated in a modern style, with an up-to-date kitchen, refrigerator, and other appliances lined up in the earthen-floored area. When you open the Room door from there, you enter an irori hearth and tatami Room. It’s very spacious—almost too large for just two people. Air conditioning is installed everywhere except on the second floor above the bath area, so it stays comfortable even in summer. The Room also has games and play equipment such as shogi pieces, ring toss, a frisbee, and badminton. There is also a garden large enough to play badminton in. At night we enjoyed fireworks and even a bonfire despite it being summer; when we looked up, we could see the starry sky and the Milky Way. There is no light pollution. Meals were not included on the first day; on the second day, staff carefully grilled vegetables and meat over the irori hearth for us. The meat slowly grilled over charcoal was incredibly delicious. The staff were very kind—they prepared our meal and explained the background of this traditional house—and we truly felt their hospitality. We were able to savor the happiness of simply spending time at ease. Next time I’d love to return from autumn into winter!

It was truly one of those “I don’t want to tell anyone about it” places—an exceptional location and outstanding service. I honestly wanted to keep it a secret, but it was too wonderful not to leave a review. I will definitely be back.
