I stayed for two nights when a typhoon approached Yakushima and brought record-breaking heavy rain. Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, I had to cancel most of my plans such as trekking, but thanks to how fulfilling my time at this Hotel was, it ended up being a memorable and wonderful trip overall. The Facility was very clean, and the staff were kind, attentive, and provided excellent service, so I was able to stay comfortably. The food was delicious—not only the buffet but also the dishes from the live kitchen—and there was a great variety that I really enjoyed. I hope to visit Yakushima again someday and make trekking happen next time, and when I do, I would love to stay here again.

Despite concerns about the earthquake, I traveled from Tokyo to Takachiho. I had been planning for a long time to visit Takachiho again, so I decided to go—and I was relieved that there was hardly any impact and I could stay with peace of mind. I was satisfied with everything: the Facility, the meals—everything. First of all, I was surprised that the Room had not only indoor and outdoor baths but also a sauna. It was my first time in my life staying in a Room with a sauna. The meals were explained in a picture-story style, and each dish had its own story and attention to detail, making them both delicious and fun to enjoy. Personally, I especially recommend the salt-baked kappo chicken and the panna cotta. On top of that, there was plenty of playful creativity with a school-festival vibe, and above all it was blissful time surrounded by the staff’s smiles. Nearby are Takachiho Shrine, night kagura performances, and Takachiho Gorge where you can also take a boat ride—an extremely convenient location. Thank you very much. If I have the chance, I’d love to return again.

Despite making a last-minute Reservation the day before, we received heartfelt hospitality and thoughtful attention, and were able to relax and truly unwind. Not only were the Room and meals wonderful, but the Onsen was exceptional as well, helping us forget our everyday fatigue and feel refreshed in both body and mind. Throughout our stay, we could feel the Ryokan team’s spirit of hospitality in every detail, which made us very happy. Thanks to you, it became a memorable and wonderful trip. We would love to visit again in a different season and see everyone again. We look forward to staying with you then.

Thank you very much for your warm hospitality. Thanks to the proprietress’s thoughtful care, we were able to forget our daily routine and enjoy a wonderfully relaxing time. Both the cuisine and the Onsen were excellent, and we felt refreshed in both body and mind. Above all, your heartfelt hospitality left a lasting impression on us. My wife also gained renewed strength to focus on her medical treatment. We would love to visit again in a different season. Wishing you all good health and continued prosperity for the Ryokan. Thank you again for everything.

I’ve been coming here since I lived about 30 minutes away by train. Even after moving to a place about two hours away, I still visit from time to time specifically to stay at this Hotel and explore Takasaki. From the moment you step into the entrance with flowing water, you’re drawn into an extraordinary world. More than anything, I love the atmosphere of the large public bath. If you bathe before sunset, sunlight pours in and it’s bright and truly wonderful. Soaking in the open-air bath while listening to Shinkansen announcements as background music is pure bliss—I can forget everything. Both the guest rooms and the entire property are clean and comfortable. Since I’ve stayed many times, every visit feels like “I’m back.” The breakfast venue is very open and airy, and just as comfortable. The honey butter was so delicious that next time I plan to enjoy it generously again. Thank you always, and I look forward to staying with you again!

From the moment we boarded the elevator to the Ryokan from in front of Sounzan Station, it was an exciting experience. The Accommodation and all the staff welcomed us with a warm atmosphere, and everything—the Room, the carefully prepared meals, the Onsen, and the views—was wonderfully soothing. We were able to spend a slow, quiet, luxurious time. Thank you very much.

I have been staying here for several years, and this is my third stay this year, following winter and spring. The seasonal cuisine is both delicious and beautifully presented. The drinks in the refrigerator have changed from Jurokucha to green tea since last year, but I would prefer a caffeine-free tea at night.

I was able to relax and enjoy multiple baths at my leisure. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and healthy.

With its high Review ratings, we chose this Accommodation to celebrate a birthday. All the staff welcomed us warmly, and we enjoyed creative dishes at both dinner and breakfast that we had never tried before. Everything was truly delicious and beautifully presented. We were impressed—no wonder the head chef has received the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Award. The Room was simple yet very comfortable for relaxing, and the free-flowing natural Onsen water in the open-air bath was outstanding. The water was pleasantly lukewarm, so we could soak for a long time. This is the first Accommodation where we’ve been able to unwind so completely. Unfortunately it rained and we couldn’t see the stars, so next time we’d like to come back on a clear night. We had a wonderful birthday celebration. Thank you very much.

The Room was much more spacious than I expected, and the amenities were well stocked. The morning coffee service and easy microwave snacks were also great. The only thing I noticed—just a minor detail—was that when you enter and open the door, the entry step area extends to the right, which made it hard to take off shoes and close the door (my shoes could get caught in the door). If that space extended a bit more to the left instead of the right, it might be easier to come and go, so I rated the Facility 4. That said, everything was very comfortable, starting with the front desk staff’s service. The Room was truly spacious with a sofa and very clean. Going out into Otaru and returning to the Accommodation also felt easier and more casual than at a typical large Hotel. If I have another chance, I would definitely like to stay again.

I was able to enjoy my stay again this time with no complaints. Some people may have different opinions, but I was personally satisfied.

My friend and I stayed for one night and two days. We arrived at Yakushima Airport at 18:25 and headed to the Hotel, and since the Shuttle Service for the sea turtle nesting observation tour was scheduled to arrive at 19:30, we were wondering what to do about dinner. They kindly prepared dinner as an easy-to-eat bento-style meal, and even offered to bring anything we couldn’t finish up to our Room—such a flexible and thoughtful response, which we truly appreciated. Also, both the view from the restaurant and from our Room were a beautiful ocean view—so stunning that we could have watched it forever if we’d had more time. It was my first time visiting Yakushima, but I was very satisfied to stay at such a wonderful Accommodation full of kindness from the very first night. I’d love to come again, and next time I’d like to stay longer and take it easy.

This Hotel was recommended to me by ChatGPT, which understands my preferences and personality, and I was extremely satisfied with the result. Not only were the building and interior design wonderful and stylish, but the staff were also very kind and pleasant. Breakfast was served in such a beautiful space that it took my breath away, and everything was delicious—especially the scones, which were outstanding. As this trip was for my husband’s birthday, we used the anniversary Plan. They prepared non-alcoholic champagne and a very tasty cake, making it a lovely surprise. Neither of us drinks alcohol, but if we had more time, we would have liked to visit the bar as well. Perhaps because it was a weekday in May, there were many foreign visitors both in town and among the guests. Since it rained, being able to borrow the coin laundry facilities and a shoe dryer was incredibly helpful. If I had to mention one thing, it would be helpful if there were guidance on how many minutes are needed for roughly how much laundry. (At 100 yen for 25 minutes, I suspect even one T-shirt might not fully dry...) I initially thought the price was per person but then realized it covered two people as well—which surprised me even more. There’s nowhere else where you can get this level of quality and satisfaction at this price! Thank you for such a wonderful day.

We stayed for two nights. The ocean view from the third-floor panoramic bath was amazing. The Onsen was also great.

I had long wanted to stay at Towada Hotel, and on this visit what impressed me most was the building itself—and how thoughtfully the Hotel shares its history so guests can truly appreciate it. The carefully preserved entrance is captivating from the moment you look up, with beautiful timber framing and intricate details. There are highlights everywhere, inside and out, making it a joy simply to walk around. Former features such as the old vault room have also been kept, and I found it fascinating to experience the unique character that only a building shaped by many years can offer. The Room I stayed in was “Kakitsubata.” I especially appreciated that each Room’s design and details are introduced within the Hotel. For “Kakitsubata,” I could learn in depth about the materials used for elements such as the ceiling, tokobashira (alcove post), and tokogamachi (alcove frame), as well as how they have been repaired over time. Rather than simply admiring a historic building from afar, being able to spend the night knowing the story of my own Room felt like a truly luxurious experience. In my Room, my favorite feature was the small round window. Beyond it, Lake Towada and the surrounding mountains were perfectly framed—like looking at a painting. It isn’t flashy, but having such a beautiful corner within the Room made me happy, and I found myself gazing at it again and again during my stay. The meals also featured Akita specialties such as Akita Nishiki beef, Hinai jidori chicken, junsai (water shield), and iburigakko (smoked pickles), allowing me to enjoy flavors unique to this destination. The dishes were not extravagant, but I loved being able to taste local ingredients—and everything was delicious. The bath is not an Onsen, but the panoramic view over Lake Towada is wonderful. The tub is spacious and very clean, making it comfortable to use. The sauna was also extremely pleasant. Overall, it was an exceptionally satisfying stay. Unlike new luxury hotels, this Accommodation lets you enjoy architecture with true heritage—its design details, scenery, and sense of time accumulated over generations. It wasn’t just staying one night; staying in this building itself became a lasting travel memory. If I have another chance to visit Lake Towada, this is definitely a Hotel I would love to stay at again.

The Facility is old, but it’s well cleaned and very tidy. The amenities were fully provided and made for a comfortable stay. The kids struggled a bit with the unfamiliar 3-piece unit bathroom, but it was a good experience. Personally, I was impressed by how easy the combination of the hair dryer holder and cable clip was to use. Yukata are also provided (they were better than those at a large lakeside Hotel). Since we only needed a place to sleep that day, the Facilities and service were more than sufficient. It’s conveniently located close to both the station and the bus stop. In the morning, we had a set breakfast at the Sukiya next door. I’d like to stay again and would recommend it.

Stayed at Asarigawa Onsen for the first time in 30 years. Since the reservation was made the day before, room options were limited, but it was a spacious room. However, there was some noise from the pipes. Dinner was very delicious, though I wished for a few more dishes. The breakfast buffet had more variety than expected, and the curry was tasty. Next time, I’d like to try using the izakaya. The Christmas decorations inside were beautiful, and the live piano performance was amazing—I listened for an hour. The open-air onsen was nice, but I felt there could be more baths available. The staff's service was excellent; I’d love to visit again in a different season!

The cat was very cute. The Onsen’s open-air bath felt cold when I first got in. The indoor bath was also quite lukewarm, but it felt like I could stay in forever. I bathed three times during my stay, and it was very relaxing. Many of the staff were from overseas, but I could feel their thoughtful hospitality. It had a homey atmosphere. As a solo traveler, it was great to be able to relax quietly. I’d like to stay again.

The advance parking information was very helpful. We had a Multiple Night Stay, and Room cleaning was provided every other day. That was more than enough for us. Fresh towels and other items were provided, so we had no issues. We would love to stay again!

While it is not as luxurious as a Resort Hotel, it was a comfortable Hotel where we could relax while trekking and sightseeing on Yakushima. Compared with guesthouses, our privacy was better maintained, and we were able to spend our time calmly. The staff were kind, and we had a pleasant stay. There were also tasteful souvenirs displayed inside the building, which was fun to browse. From the Room, we could enjoy an ocean view—sunrise in the morning and a starry sky at night. It is a Hotel where you can unwind while feeling close to Yakushima’s nature.
