전국 × 선의 세계관이 느껴지는 숙소시설・설비의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸 - 33페이지

This was a Hotel without on-site staff. I chose this Hotel to visit the special exhibition at the Kyoto National Museum early in the morning. It is about a 7-minute walk to the museum. The area near the museum has many high-class Hotels with high prices. I searched based on price and proximity to the museum. Check-in was at a reception near Kyoto Station, which made me slightly nervous, but I received the key and entrance code before heading to the Hotel. I took a bus from Kyoto Station, and there was a convenience store between the bus stop and the Hotel. Using a map app, I arrived at the Hotel smoothly. The room was very clean, with high ceilings that made it feel spacious (2nd-floor Room). Amenities were well-prepared, including coffee grounds and paper filters for hand-drip coffee making. Both bathroom and toilet were clean, with a powerful hairdryer provided as well. Noise from neighboring Rooms wasn’t much of an issue, allowing for an enjoyable stay overall!

I chose this place as I needed to leave early the next morning. In one word: impeccable. From the prior communication to the meals, cleanliness, and every service provided, everything was handled with meticulous care. I had an extremely comfortable stay.

We stayed as a family of three, and it was a lovely accommodation with a great atmosphere. The owner was friendly, and the price was reasonable, offering excellent value for money.

Used for a one-night solo motorcycle trip. You’ll be surprised—“An Accommodation in a place like this?”—but inside it’s extremely clean: the Room, bath, and kitchen. It seems a calligraphy teacher relaxes here; there are probably artistic calligraphy works displayed throughout. Room: A bit plain. Basement? Downstairs? No light from the window, no TV—great if you want to clear your mind. Bath: Simply the best. Owner: Not too close, not too distant—very gentle and kind. Location: Honestly, I worried about bears, but they said none have appeared around here. That’s how surrounded by greenery it is. Food: For dinner I went to a nearby Genghis Khan (lamb BBQ) restaurant—delicious!! Though the owner there was… maybe not so much. “Nearby” still means about 700 m; I was scared of bears so I went at 17:30. You can get refills and it really is tasty! But the Accommodation kitchen has everything you could need—I made breakfast there. Overall: The top rating makes sense. This price is unbelievable. I hope someone who reads this will decide to visit. *At the nearby Pine Bar? shop, their iburigakko is half the price compared with outside; the shop owner is wonderful too. Please stop by.*

The hot spring water quality was excellent, and since bathing is limited to up to five guests at a time, we were able to soak and relax at our own pace. The soothing sound of the river was very calming, and we could unwind while feeling close to nature.

As I am recovering from an illness and have difficulty walking, I noted this when making my Reservation. I truly appreciated your thoughtful consideration regarding the location of the Room and our dining table. The Room and the open-air bath were spacious, and the continuously flowing hot spring water in the open-air bath was wonderfully relaxing. The open-air bath also had a small handrail, so I could enter and exit safely even with limited mobility. The meals were delicious, with plenty of local specialties such as Omi beef and iwana (char). Once I’m feeling better, I’d love to visit again—next time to fully enjoy the large public bath and the stone sauna as well!

It was my first time staying at this accommodation, and it was a wonderful experience. The vegetarian cuisine was very delicious, including the kenchin soup and sesame tofu, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The private bath system allowed me to relax without any concerns. The morning service the next day was explained in detail by the guide, allowing me to learn a lot. I also had a chance to try zazen meditation upon prior request, and as a beginner, the head priest kindly guided me through it. I would love to stay here again when visiting Zenkoji Temple.

A stunning environment with remarkable architecture. Arriving early comes with a special privilege for the first guest of the day, as a charming male staff member guided us through an empty corridor, marking the beginning of a retreat that feels like floating in the forest. The meals were exceptional and truly moving. However, because this is such a perfect retreat accommodation, certain details stood out as unusual: The white chrysanthemums displayed at the restroom sink had turned brown and wilted, and despite being the first to use it that day, there was a mix of hair clumps and dust in one corner of the restroom stall. The flowers remained unchanged for two days, catching my eye multiple times—leaving me feeling disheartened on six occasions. While I didn’t notice any trash elsewhere during my stay, seeing those flowers untouched made me wonder about how cleaning by staff is managed here. Petals are generously used in your beautiful dishes; they were delightful to enjoy and deeply appreciated. However, it left an impression that perhaps no one among your staff noticed or cared for those small chrysanthemums at handwashing areas. I sincerely hope this can be improved upon—and I look forward to visiting again!

This time, we stayed in two Rooms, Momiji and Yuzu. We were very satisfied with everything, including the service. However, it was disappointing that the bath in Yuzu was far from the Room and inconvenient to use. Thank you for your prompt help with our forgotten item.

Both the town and the Accommodation were pleasantly quiet. Rather than a place to “enjoy the Accommodation,” it felt like a place where, through your stay, you become part of Nara. If you’re looking for an Accommodation for sightseeing in Nara, the location is convenient, so I’d like to stay here again next time. There’s nothing particularly notable about the amenities, but there was neither shortage nor excess, which I think is good.

This Ryokan felt surprisingly spacious and deep beyond what you’d imagine from the entrance. The Japanese-style room, with views of a waterfall and stream and the soothing sound of running water, was truly relaxing. When we went up to the third floor, there was a large hall, and in front of it a pond surrounded by forest. In any case, it was a quiet, calming place. Dinner was delicious for us—perfectly seasoned with rich dashi flavor. The selection of sake and wine was excellent as well, so we really enjoyed the drinks (even though we can’t drink much). It was fun talking with someone who holds a sake sommelier certification; they even let us taste a sake from a brewery in Yamagata that I used to drink long ago, which brought back fond memories and made me very happy. We had a relaxing and enjoyable day.

The Room was “Mangetsu.” There are four Rooms, with over 20 tatami mats across the main tatami area and the bedroom. With a total of over 97 m², it felt like a truly luxurious space. The furnishings and Room coordination were wonderful. The hinoki bath was very spacious, and because the added hot water was quite hot, we could soak without it cooling down. In the garden, there was even a discreet box with straw sandals inside, and there was an annex that remained closed—both adding to the atmosphere. Service: The front desk staff were kind. They accommodated two changes to our dinner plans. It was also fun hearing local stories. Meals: Breakfast was delicious. Dinner was at a local sushi restaurant. The grilled isaki (grunt fish) was plump and tasty, enjoyed together with its crispy skin. The sushi portions were very generous as well. If I had to ask for one thing, I would have liked a few more vegetable dishes.

It was a busy two-night stay with the festival and expo, but I had a comfortable time. The staff were very accommodating with luggage delivery, allowing me to fully enjoy my trip. I'm really glad I chose this Hotel. Thank you so much for everything. I rated the Facility and equipment 4 because of poor signal reception.

We stayed as a family of five. It is in a quiet area near the Kyoto Imperial Palace, so we were able to relax. There was a private courtyard, and the view was lovely. Since there were five of us, it felt a bit cramped once three futons were laid out in the tatami room, but considering the price, we were able to stay at a very reasonable rate. We would like to stay here again when visiting Kyoto.

The location and the Onsen seem to have been well designed by the company that operated it when it was built, and they are quite nice. However, it was disappointing that the Facility and courtyard were not well maintained despite their potential. The food and the staff’s service were excellent, and it is a good option in terms of reasonable pricing. I felt that many Accommodations purchased after COVID-related bankruptcies are like this, and may not last long.

At the entrance, we were welcomed by motifs of Tentoki and Ryutoki. The stone garden “Yusentei,” Aizen Garden, and Tosentei were wonderful after the rain. The Onsen was natural, but unfortunately the open-air bath was too dark to see well. The carbonate spring bath was out of order and could not be used. The shojin-ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) was very delicious. The morning service was easy to join, which was nice. What was disappointing was that some guests speaking Chinese did not bring towels into the bath at all; they then left without drying off, leaving the floor soaked. They also brought canned beer and similar drinks into the shojin-ryori meal area to drink. In addition, they talked loudly on their phones with friends while using the Wi-Fi for a long time and seemed to take up most of the bandwidth, so it could not be used properly. The staff’s response was good; even if they were not Japanese, there were no problems as long as you spoke with them. Finally, I was surprised that the Room key is secured from inside with a simple latch/bolt. In terms of security, it felt like self-management is expected.

This is a private rental of a renovated traditional house, very spacious, and overall we had a comfortable stay. The bedroom was cozy, and the bathroom and vanity area were especially large, which made it convenient for two people to get ready at the same time. The lighting was bright and easy to use, insect control indoors was well handled, and we were able to use the Facility without any issues. When we consulted in advance about the check-in time, they kindly accommodated an earlier check-in, which was very helpful. There is also Shuttle Service available, making transportation very convenient. On the other hand, there are two points we would be happy to see improved. First is the height of some beams. For someone around 175 cm tall, a beam sits just above eye level, making it easy to miss—I hit my head several times. Since I hit it quite hard once, for safety it would be reassuring to have warning stickers or signs. Second, in the first-floor bedroom we could hear some road noise from passing cars at night. The second floor was relatively quiet, so those who are sensitive to noise may prefer sleeping upstairs. Other than that, everything was very comfortable and we enjoyed the unique atmosphere of a traditional house.

I stayed here on a solo trip. My Room had a private indoor bath, but I mainly used the large public bath. It is not very big, but I was always able to use it privately. Above all, the meals were wonderful. The appetizer plate with plenty of vegetables was great, and the beef grilled on a ceramic plate was also quite generous—I was very satisfied. Breakfast was just the right portion size, and I enjoyed every item. I would like to say thank you here as well for carefully sending my forgotten item back to me. I was truly touched. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

The open-air bath on the balcony felt absolutely wonderful. When I soaked in the hot water at dawn, I could hear Japanese bush warblers singing. Being able to look down over the dam lake was perfect for someone who loves high places. The meals were also very delicious, but it would have been even better if there had been a dry white wine option. Next time, I’d like to come again during cherry blossom season. Thank you very much.

This was my third visit to Itoshima, the first in two years. Last time, after heavy rain the day before, it suddenly turned into a midsummer day, and the breathtaking sunset—changing moment by moment against the vast ocean—was truly moving. I enjoyed delicious food and the relaxed pace that only an all-inclusive stay can offer. This time had a different atmosphere and some changes. Arriving in a downpour with luggage, I climbed the stone steps to check in. What surprised me right away was “10:00 checkout”! I never expected it to be an hour earlier—maybe a pitfall of being a repeat guest? I was told it was changed because lunch service starts at 11:00 with reservations… but 10:00 still feels far too early. Since we spend about four hours round trip for an overnight stay, we want to relax as much as possible. If possible, I hope you will consider setting check-in to 16:00 and returning checkout to 11:00—I would be glad if this request from repeat guests reaches you. This time we dined while watching the post-rain evening scenery, and the food was just as delicious as ever—I was very satisfied. The soup course in particular had wonderful Japanese dashi flavor and was deeply comforting, and the tempura made from fresh squid (prepared after sashimi) was especially appreciated; as someone who loves cooking at home, having a professional fry dishes is a real treat. It was also disappointing not to see any of the staff members from previous visits. The photo shows “Itoshima Bay—an evening view after the rain.”
