전국 × 일품요리를 즐길 수 있는 숙소식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸 - 60페이지

The more you travel, the more your 기준 for choosing an Accommodation shifts from “luxury” to “essential comfort.” Tucked away in a mountain gorge at 1,000 meters above sea level in Kokonoe, Oita, Tabinoyado Yamatsubaki feels like the final paradise discerning travelers eventually find. Its greatest value lies in its intentionally limited number of rooms. Far removed from the bustle of a large Ryokan, it offers complete privacy—paired with perfectly judged hospitality that is attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment you arrive, you can feel everyday life quietly fade away. The open-air bath is simply unforgettable. In crisp, unobstructed air, soaking in superb free-flowing Onsen while watching the starry sky shift moment by moment becomes more than a bath—it’s an indulgent sense of oneness with nature. For an Accommodation with such a private atmosphere, the generous space throughout is exceptional and especially appealing to wellness-minded travelers. As I was visiting after business and didn’t want to inconvenience the owner couple, I booked a stay with breakfast only—but each dish at breakfast told its own story. Every bite was spot-on and far beyond expectations. I regretted not ordering dinner so much that I could only think afterward: “Why didn’t I?” I also learned that at nearby Komatsu Jigoku—reopened for sightseeing after restoration completed in summer 2025—you can make Onsen eggs yourself. They kindly sold me eggs upon request and graciously accommodated my last-minute favor. I visited in early summer, but reaching Kokonoe’s mountains when they are covered in snow will likely require some preparation. Even so, that challenge only adds to the thrill of heading into a hidden retreat. Nature, renowned hot springs, and outstanding cuisine—Yamatsubaki brings them together in near-perfect balance. It isn’t just somewhere to stay; it’s a destination in itself—a truly one-of-a-kind Accommodation worth traveling for.

This Accommodation sits at the highest point of Arifuku Onsen in Gotsu City, Shimane Prefecture. I stayed here eight years ago and returned this time. It used to be a historic, retro inn, but after the renovation it has been transformed into a wonderful Onsen Accommodation that beautifully blends tasteful interiors with a nostalgic atmosphere. Dinner was a full-course meal at a nearby Italian restaurant included in the Plan. Despite being stylish, they also provided chopsticks, and every dish was carefully prepared with delicate seasoning—everything was truly delicious. Breakfast was also very good, though I would have liked one more side dish (such as dried fish). The Onsen water has a silky, slightly slippery feel—perhaps that’s why it’s known as “beautifying” water. I’ve visited many hot spring areas, but this texture is quite rare. There is also a glass window in the dining room floor where you can see the source spring. On Saturday nights, it seems you can watch Iwami Kagura at the nearby Kagura hall just steps from the Accommodation. Unfortunately, my stay wasn’t on a Saturday so I couldn’t see it, but next time I’d like to make my Reservation for a Saturday.

The dining area had a wonderful atmosphere, and every dish was delicious. The Onsen baths also switch between the women’s and men’s sides each day, so it was great to enjoy different types of baths. I would love to stay here again.

I made a Reservation for one night with breakfast included. Unfortunately, the room was on the mountain side and did not have an ocean view, but breakfast was wonderful while dining with a view of the sea. I was also able to relax in the large public bath while looking out over the ocean. Even if you come empty-handed, you can borrow a fishing rod and enjoy fishing. If you want to buy bait, you would normally need to go to a nearby tackle shop, but it was already closed, so the Hotel staff kindly prepared bait for us and we were able to enjoy fishing the next morning. Thank you very much to all the staff.

For dinner, we chose nodoguro and wagyu beef—both were delicious. Breakfast felt a little modest, but considering the price, we were very satisfied. The room was also thoroughly cleaned, making our stay comfortable.

This was our second stay—another visit. My spouse and I really enjoyed our time here. The Shika-no-Yu hot spring was wonderfully relaxing and very comfortable; we ended up staying in for a long time. The meals were delicious, with seasonal ingredients, and the Hanawa beef was incredibly generous in portion yet so tender we finished it easily. The freshly cooked rice for breakfast was also excellent—we ate the whole serving (one go). The starry sky visible from the Room window was unbelievably beautiful and truly moving. You don’t need to watch TV at all here. The comfort is outstanding. Thank you very much. We will be back again.

I stayed for one night on a business trip. I booked a great-value Plan that included all-you-can-drink sake plus two meals (Japanese breakfast). 1. My planned check-in was 19:30, but traveling Yokohama → Tokyo → Iwaki → the property, I missed the 18:00 Joban Line train from Iwaki. The next train was 19:26 (a 1.5-hour wait), so I arrived at 21:10. (If you’re coming from a major city, please be aware: public transportation in Minamisoma is basically just the north–south Joban Line, and service is limited. If you’re not driving, plan carefully.) 2. I was in a hurry and very hungry, so I forgot to take photos, but the food was delicious. The owner kindly explained things like having water alongside sake to pace yourself for me as a foreign guest. The Yahoo Travel page said “all-you-can-drink sake,” but beer and shochu were also available. 3. The Room had a shower but no toilet. Hot water took quite a while to come out at the outside sink, so I used hot water from the Room for brushing my teeth and washing my face. Since guest numbers have decreased after the earthquake and it must be hard to keep pipes warm, I didn’t mind. 4. Breakfast was Japanese-style; I expected only miso soup or tea, but there was coffee too—a nice surprise! The grilled fish in particular was juicy and excellent. The owner couple (sorry if that’s incorrect) seem truly well-suited to cooking. 5. At checkout, their dog suddenly came over to greet me—another surprise! Maybe it was a playful warning not to check out late… haha. Conclusion: It was an experience close to 5 stars. One request: please let guests know in advance that there is an alert/guard-type dog on site who may greet them unexpectedly at checkout or elsewhere on the property. I like dogs, but my heart has become weaker with age; even a friendly surprise can startle me. I look forward to staying again.

It was worth extending our trip from Karuizawa to Kusatsu Onsen just to visit Kimuraya. We truly enjoyed a relaxing time, and the Shirahata no Yu with its free-flowing Onsen water was so smooth it felt like it embraced the body. Even my husband, who isn’t particularly fond of hot springs, seemed to appreciate its charm and went in multiple times. The staff members were all wonderful as well.

The Room was very clean and I was extremely satisfied. It was very helpful that I could cancel an unexpected extension. The breakfast looked delicious, but unfortunately, I couldn't try it due to lack of time. I definitely want to try it next time. I've decided to stay here whenever I visit Hokkaido in the future.

Arrived without any trouble at the Hagi Bus Center. A spacious Room was arranged, allowing for a relaxing and comfortable stay before sleeping.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. Even during the Obon holiday, the price was very reasonable, the breakfast was delicious, and the bath was excellent! Although it was a smoking room, there was no odor at all, and we were completely satisfied. We would definitely like to stay again when visiting the Kansai area.

Thank you for taking care of us for two days. The free parking was very helpful. There was a supermarket nearby, which we used. It was conveniently located for getting to other places.

We used the accommodation for sightseeing by car on three islands in Ehime. It was difficult to find an accommodation with meals included, especially the day before our stay, but we were lucky to secure a reservation. The price was very reasonable, and although we didn’t expect luxurious meals initially, the food provided exceeded our expectations and was incredibly satisfying. The dishes included sashimi, simmered sea bream head, fried sea bream, side dishes, and more. We were amazed that the sea bream rice was all-you-can-eat! Not only for dinner but also for breakfast, sea bream rice was served—such variety at such an affordable price is unbelievable. If we have another chance, we would love to stay again. Thank you very much!

A wonderful Room, and a lovely owner couple and staff. For dinner, we couldn’t choose a course, so we had sushi, plus fried chicken and fries and an eggplant snack, which we enjoyed in our Room. Everything was delicious. In the morning, we had curry doria and a plate with salad and side dishes—also very tasty. The coffee at the end had a vanilla aroma that brought back memories and made me happy. You can also enjoy the exhibits of their nephew, a professional racer. This is an Accommodation I highly recommend. Next time, I’ll come back to try the course meal.

I stayed alone in a cottage, and for this price, the Room, meals, and Onsen were all excellent. The kiln-baked dish was especially delicious. The staff were very kind, the Room was clean, and I was able to relax in nature. In the morning, it wasn’t a large bath but a smaller one; it was also clean and comfortable.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. The three of us—my 92-year-old mother, my husband, and I—found and chose this Accommodation online, and everything was excellent. We were able to relax in the renovated Japanese-style Room and bedroom. Although it is an Accommodation where you can stay with your dog, it felt very clean, and it seemed that every corner was thoroughly cleaned. The meals were also very delicious, and the boat platter was more than we could finish. It was disappointing that we couldn’t go cruising due to the typhoon, but since it was before summer vacation there were no crowds, we could get around smoothly, and we fully enjoyed a wonderful trip to Izu. Thank you again. We would love to stay here again.

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!

As we didn’t have large suitcases, there was no inconvenience and it didn’t feel cramped thanks to the luggage rack and other amenities. The Room had only a shower booth, but it was more convenient than a shower curtain setup, and the toilet was separate, so there were no issues. Personally, I would have liked another type of towel in a different size. The mattress was great and I slept comfortably, and the large mirror was convenient for two people to use. Breakfast met my expectations; I was surprised they had sparkling wine available, but I enjoyed it. I’d like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

Our three-generation family of six stayed for two nights. The property was still new and spotless, with an ocean view and plenty of space—great for the kids to spread out, and relaxing for the adults as well. We had a very comfortable stay. It wasn’t too far from the airport, and there were lovely cafes nearby as well as American Village, which made it very convenient.

Stayed here the night before a weekend event. The facility is not new but well-maintained. The advantages include having a small public bath, free and spacious parking, and breakfast buffet included in the accommodation fee. I also liked the pillows provided. Since there are not many restaurants nearby and it’s located in a quiet riverside area, those without a car might find it inconvenient for dinner; however, dinner options were available at the hotel restaurant, which seems thoughtful. There’s no sense of luxury, but it’s sufficient for solo travelers and offers good value for money! There was an atmospheric sake brewery right in front of the hotel—if you enjoy sake, purchasing some there to enjoy leisurely in your room could be a nice idea!
