I stayed in a newly renovated Room, and it was wonderful. The in-room perks were excellent. In particular, the all-you-can-eat gelato was an incredibly generous service—perfect after the Onsen—and I enjoyed trying many different flavors. Everything was delicious. The pre-dinner aperitif can be chosen from the menu, and the lounge coffee machine is truly high-quality, so I used it many times. Both the quality and quantity of the meals were very satisfying, and what impressed me most was the staff. There were many young team members, but everyone’s hospitality was outstanding. Some staff members spent a long time chatting with elderly guests because they were approached for conversation, yet they responded without showing any displeasure at all—I was genuinely impressed. You can also enjoy two different types of Onsen water, and I think this Accommodation offers excellent value for money. I will definitely return again. Thank you very much for taking such great care of me.

In a word, we truly had a wonderful time. The private hot spring in the room, the ocean view from it, the hospitality of all the staff, and the delicious meals. It was an experience that led us to find a place we genuinely want to return to for the first time.

We stayed to celebrate a birthday. The Shuttle Service between the nearest station and the Hotel for both arrival and departure was extremely helpful, and we truly appreciated the driver’s hospitality. We were very satisfied with the Room and the private bath, the meals were delicious, and all of the staff were warm and welcoming, allowing us to relax at ease. We would love to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much.

The amenities, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, meals, and attentiveness—everything was perfect. We had a truly comfortable stay. If I had to mention one thing, I only wish there were a few more non-alcoholic options on the menu. This has become one of the places we’d love to return to.

This is the most satisfying Ryokan I have ever stayed at. The hospitality was beyond anything I could have imagined. The owner, the proprietress, and all the staff were wonderful people, and their warmth truly touched my heart. The meals, centered on seafood, featured outstanding ingredients and careful preparation—I was completely satisfied. What deserves special mention is the owner’s 100% buckwheat handmade soba: its aroma and smoothness were exceptional. I live in a prefecture known as a soba mecca, but I have never had soba better than this. Even the breakfast vegetables were all pesticide-free and homegrown, made with real care. The Onsen water was a reddish cloudy spring that felt gentle on the skin and relieved my fatigue. The building has a dignified presence with a sense of history. In every way it was outstanding—an Accommodation that makes you want to return again soon.

A sisters’ trip from Kanagawa to Izu. We stayed at Homare no Hikari, a Hotel with a calm atmosphere. Both the Room and the cuisine were wonderful, and we were very satisfied. We heard that the menu changes by season, so we would definitely like to stay again. Highly recommended Hotel. Thank you very much.

The hot spring water quality is excellent.

You can now watch YouTube on the in-room TV—awesome! But maybe because of that, the free Wi‑Fi feels slow and a bit frustrating. Time for a no-phone day!

Located northeast of the Shirakami-Sanchi mountains, Nikkei Onsen sits not far off National Route 7 from Odate. Beyond the romance of a secluded hot-spring inn surrounded by abundant nature, the quality of its waters is among the best in Akita. Two different sources are fed directly to the indoor bath and the open-air bath, each with distinct characteristics. The indoor bath is a sulfur-containing chloride spring with a notably high free hydrogen sulfide content of 15.3 mg/kg, so as you approach you’re enveloped in that unmistakable sulfur aroma. The bathing temperature is set at 41°C, and despite expectations it is neutral but slightly on the acidic side, making it comfortable to soak in. There are also two private baths available for exclusive use, and at the large public bath these can also be enjoyed as reclining baths. The open-air bath is even richer in minerals than the indoor bath: total dissolved solids reach 20.26 g/kg (6.955 g/kg for the indoor bath), giving it an impressively concentrated feel—both in scent and on the skin—like a true medicinal spring. Among the private baths, Urugeru Yukko and Takimi Yukko are spacious; Takimi Yukko even features a luxurious reclining area. All of these springs contain abundant metasilicic acid and metaboric acid, which are said to be beneficial for skin—making it easy to understand why they have been loved for so long. Being able to savor such exceptional waters amid vast natural surroundings is an experience unique to Nikkei Onsen. That said, during summer the open-air area may be covered with vinyl sheets or similar materials to keep horseflies away, which slightly reduces the view—but it’s understandable. The rooms are retro Japanese-Western style accommodations that evoke Japan’s Showa era—not “retro” as an excuse for being outdated. While there’s a nostalgic feel in its design and furnishings, the walls, floors, and beds were clean enough that I could relax comfortably throughout my stay. The meals were delicious Japanese cuisine incorporating local specialties. As someone in my twenties I did find it slightly light for my appetite, but dining isn’t really what this inn is about so it didn’t bother me much. Still—as other reviews mention—there was almost no explanation of each dish, which was honestly disappointing. This is an inn I want to visit again—one of those rare hot-spring retreats where you hope it stays just as it is even if getting there takes a bit of effort.

My spouse and I stayed here, and we truly had a wonderful time from start to finish. From the private open-air bath with free-flowing natural hot spring water, we enjoyed breathtaking views of Dogashima, and soaking while gazing out at the sea was exceptional. Watching the sunset… then enjoying the open-air bath under a sky full of stars… it was such a luxurious experience. The room was spacious with a great view, and we were able to relax in a private, comfortable atmosphere. Dinner was an original Japanese-Western kaiseki course featuring plenty of seasonal ingredients—both beautiful to look at and delicious. We also enjoyed taking our time with the three-tiered breakfast box; this is an inn that makes you look forward to mealtimes. Above all, every staff member was warm and attentive. We were especially charmed by Mr./Ms. B’s playful personality, and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful details. With wonderful views from both the dining area and the room, this is an inn we would love to stay at again. Thank you very much.

This is a perfect Ryokan with meticulous attention to every detail. The building is beautifully maintained, and the finishes and Facilities feel refined. The Onsen is excellent, and the amenities are well stocked. The meals are delicious, served on beautiful tableware, and satisfy both taste and presentation. Drink prices are reasonable as well. The location is close to Yubatake, making it easy to enjoy a stroll around the area. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

We were satisfied with everything—the free drinks, dinner, and breakfast. There were also five types of private open-air baths, and the instructions were easy to understand, which was wonderful. Most of the staff are from overseas, but everyone spoke Japanese very well, so we had no trouble at all and enjoyed a comfortable stay thanks to their polite service.

This was my first stay. The lobby, guest room, private open-air bath in the room, and the large public bath were all spacious, and I was able to relax and enjoy a wonderful time. The meals were also delicious, making great use of local seafood. Although it wasn’t open during my stay, it seems there is also a pool. I think it would be nice to come with my grandchildren as well, and I would like to stay again.

Every time I stay here, I find myself thinking, “When can I come back again?”—it motivates me to work hard. I love this inn for its beautiful in-room garden and open-air bath, perfect for relaxing in the bath all day. I’m always satisfied with both the meals and the staff’s service. The steamed abalone somen noodles in abalone liver broth are truly delicious—I want to have them every time (laugh).

From arrival to departure, it was a truly satisfying trip. The food was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented for the eyes to enjoy. The Room was spacious and clean, and with various types of Rooms available, you can enjoy staying here again and again. Because Gyokusui’s cuisine is outstanding, I had been wanting to visit other Gyokusui locations as well. When I was told there is a Gyokusui in Kawazu, I received a brochure and would definitely like to visit next time.

I booked this ryokan for my in-laws’ trip, as I had previously given it to my mother as a gift and she absolutely loved it. They said everything was outstanding—the beautiful interior, the meals, and the baths. In particular, my parents-in-law live relatively nearby, but they were amazed to discover such a wonderful ryokan so close to home. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Shimane. Thank you once again for a truly wonderful time!

Though it is a small inn, everything was perfectly arranged with nothing lacking—truly wonderful. The hot spring was always at the ideal temperature no matter when we entered; thank you to the bath attendant. Thank you as well for kindly accommodating our requests. The meals were excellent, and the attendant was experienced, making us feel comfortable leaving everything in their hands. We would love to return. Thank you very much.

Each of the five private open-air baths has its own unique charm, and I managed to try four of them. The lush green trees viewed from the open-air bath were truly rejuvenating. The buffet meals were also delicious. I’d like to visit again when I have time.

This was our first stay here on a trip with four friends. The Room, the meals, and above all the service from all staff were outstanding. Every staff member was courteous and kind, and we truly felt first-class hospitality—worthy of a five-star Accommodation. Thanks to you, we were able to relax throughout our stay and enjoy a special time. The clean and comfortable Room, the wide variety of delicious and thoughtfully prepared buffet dishes, and the wonderful Onsen—all exceeded our expectations. Everyone in our group was very satisfied with this trip. When we visit Kusatsu again, we would definitely like to stay at Hotel Ichii again.

As we did last year, my elderly parents and my siblings and I stayed here again. It’s a not-too-large Facility, and it was wonderful to have a clean, comfortable Room with a private open-air bath. The water in the open-air bath flows continuously in generous volume, which was fantastic. My father, who has difficulty walking and finds it hard to get to the large public bath, was able to fully enjoy his beloved Onsen in the bath in our Room and was very happy. We enjoyed dinner as well, but last year we had a private dining room, so that aspect was better last year. We also enjoyed the Diamond benefit of a private Onsen together with my mother. My parents in their 80s and 90s also said, “If we can stay healthy, we’d like to come again,” so I hope we can visit again.
