시코쿠의 온천 지역 × 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I stayed here with my elderly mother and my husband. The room was wonderful, and we were able to relax at our own pace. The meals were absolutely delicious, with such generous portions that we couldn’t finish everything—we were very satisfied. What impressed me most was the excellent service from the female staff. Even though everyone was young, they were very attentive, spoke politely, and showed thoughtful care in every detail. The bath was also very pleasant and left us feeling refreshed both physically and mentally. We made another great memory together with my mother. I would love to stay again. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

The staff’s hospitality was outstanding. The meals offered a wide variety of ingredients, and everything was delicious—we were completely satisfied. The location was also excellent.

We had a very satisfying stay. The room was clean, the bath was wonderful, and the meals—featuring local ingredients—were all delicious. Everything was truly excellent. Every staff member who assisted us was pleasant and kind, and it was a really wonderful stay. I had thought Dogo Onsen would be quite far away, but I’m glad we decided to go. My mother in her 90s was also very happy. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

In Uchiko, Ehime Prefecture. After driving from Kochi, we arrived at the hotel; as soon as we pulled up, a staff member came right out and guided us. After an exceptionally smooth check-in, we didn’t add any sightseeing at all—we spent our time simply enjoying the hot springs, the special guest room, and reading. As it was a weekday right after Silver Week, there were hardly any overnight guests or day-use bath visitors, and we were able to savor the luxury of feeling as if the entire property belonged to just the two of us. Above all, dinner far exceeded our expectations. My wife was deeply moved by how delicious everything was—so much so that after the meal she even asked both the chef and sommelier to sign our menu. Not only was each dish outstanding in itself; its elegance on refined tableware conveyed a sense of care and intention in every plate. By candlelight at our table, we were able to take our time and fully enjoy both the food and drinks at our own pace. The in-room hot spring bath was also memorable—especially the haiku placed alongside it, which added a quiet resonance to our time in the water. Personally, I felt this inn’s appeal lies not in extravagance but in being able to truly enjoy “the luxury of doing nothing.” Visiting on a weekday allowed us to appreciate that value even more deeply.

We stayed at this wonderful property during our Shikoku trip in 2021 and enjoyed it so much that we returned this time with my parents. The guest room with a private open-air hot spring bath was just as fantastic as ever, and both the in-room dinner and breakfast seemed even more delicious than before! My elderly parents were able to relax at their own pace and were very satisfied. Whenever we come to Matsuyama again, we will definitely stay here again.

Iya Bijin is an Accommodation famous for soba. I had carelessly forgotten this, and since my son has a severe buckwheat allergy, we made a last-minute request to remove all foods related to soba. During our stay, they took great care with the meals, and both dinner and breakfast were wonderful—such as ayu sashimi and dekomawashi—and my son ate so much it surprised even us. Of course, he had no allergic symptoms at all. Thank you very much.

The views, the people, the space, and the food—everything was exceptional. I felt instantly healed rather than gradually. The sunset was beautiful, and every staff member’s hospitality was heartfelt. The cooking that brought out the best in each ingredient was outstanding, as were the delicious broths. Not only dinner but also breakfast was truly elaborate and carefully prepared. I could go on forever, but in short, it was wonderful. Thank you very much.

I was satisfied with everything. The dishes made with olive oil were delicious, and the room with a view of the calm sea was wonderful. Shodoshima is famous for its stone, and it is used generously throughout the island. It doesn’t feel cold; instead, it feels warm and comforting. The staff greeted us with smiles, and it was an inn that made us think, even before checkout, “We want to come back.”

It was about a three-hour drive, but the views made all the fatigue disappear, and we were very satisfied. The hotel is small but has been nicely renovated, and we had a very comfortable stay. The highlight of this property is definitely the open-air bath. Although it rained, mist hung over the mountains and created an enchanting atmosphere that felt like it was wrapping around us. We were also lucky that both on the day we arrived and again the next morning, it was almost like having it to ourselves. All of the staff were efficient and left a great impression. Even the staff from overseas spoke fluent Japanese, and their sincere effort in explaining everything was wonderful. We added the Tokushima Kuroge Wagyu steak, which was absolutely the right choice—tender and full of flavor, I couldn’t stop eating rice.

This trip was our first time staying with my son and his wife and our nearly 2-year-old grandchild, a group of five, and we stayed at Hotel Tsubakikan. They prepared two adjacent rooms for us, which made it easy to go back and forth. With beds and tatami mats, our grandchild could walk around freely, which was great. The buffet meals were delicious. The restaurant staff were very kind and quickly provided a chair for our grandchild. We went to get food many times, and each time they promptly cleared the used dishes from our table, so we could enjoy our meal comfortably. The hot springs were wonderful—both my daughter-in-law and I went three times. We weren’t sure how it would go since it was our grandchild’s first hot spring experience, but they behaved well in the bath. We all made happy memories and are grateful to the staff. Everyone said they’d like to come again. Thank you very much.

The entire hotel felt refined and stylish, and the room was spacious enough to be very comfortable. The bath wasn’t crowded, and I was happy with the amenities and the ReFa hair dryer! The records—one of this hotel’s signature features—seem to divide opinions, but we borrowed a variety of nostalgic records and really enjoyed them. Please don’t get rid of them! At night, we enjoyed craft beer and a mikan sour at the complimentary lounge, along with various snacks we picked up from nearby shops. Wearing yukata and borrowing a cute basket for a stroll was also an experience you don’t often get. In the morning, we went to Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu. Online it said there would be a 15-minute wait, but we got in right away and it was quiet. It was crowded at night, so morning might be the best time to go!

Perched on a hill overlooking Dogo Onsen Honkan, it’s in a very convenient location—you can walk down (there’s an escalator partway) to the Honkan, the shopping arcade, and the station. The building is new and spotless. The room has high ceilings and feels spacious, and the built-in furniture and layout were very practical and easy to use. I didn’t have dinner, so I rated dining 4/5, but the breakfast buffet was satisfying in both quality and variety. I was able to relax in the hot springs as well, making my first trip to Dogo Onsen a truly enjoyable and comfortable one!

There was a wide variety of welcome drinks. It was also fun to compare three different types of mandarin orange juice. One concern was that there was only one elevator, so it got crowded in the morning. Also, I didn’t find the miso soup at breakfast very tasty. Other than that, it was a wonderful hotel.

We stayed here to celebrate my sister’s 50th birthday. From the moment we made our Reservation, we were treated with consistently thoughtful and refined hospitality throughout our stay. The service was truly wonderful. Every dish was genuinely delicious, and we enjoyed a luxurious time—simply a happy space. As an aside, the elevator was surprisingly fast, making trips back and forth to the smoking room completely stress-free.

We decided to stay based on the Reviews, and it was an even more wonderful Accommodation than we expected. The bath in our Room was so great that we never ended up going to the large public bath. The meals were excellent in both presentation and taste, and we were able to fully enjoy autumn. Personally, it was my first time trying chestnut chips, and they were delicious. Since we dined in a private room, it was also helpful that we could set the room temperature to our liking. All of the staff were kind, and we had a very pleasant stay. We’re looking forward to staying again someday.

After watching the Awa Odori, our family of four stayed here. We couldn’t find anywhere in Tokushima City with two Rooms available, so we chose this place by elimination—but we were very satisfied. The Rooms were connected Rooms, with two Rooms linked by an internal door when opened. The beds were bunk beds, which our kids found really fun and enjoyed a lot. The bath was available until 9:30 a.m., so even though we checked in at 11:30 p.m., we could relax and enjoy it. The water had a slightly salty quality and the temperature was just right—excellent overall. Breakfast focused on organic ingredients and was served buffet-style; everything was delicious. We hadn’t heard of this Hotel before, but it was clean and very nice. We’d definitely like to stay again if we have the chance.

The Room design—especially the toilet layout and its combination with the washroom—was fantastic and I really loved it. The material of the in-room bath (I forgot the name) was made from very high-quality wood, and the wood fragrance was wonderful. Beer, ice pops, and water were all free, which was excellent service. The large public bath in the main building was also spacious and free to use—overall, it was simply great.

Although it is a traditional Onsen Ryokan, it was thoroughly cleaned and felt very fresh and spotless, so we had a comfortable stay throughout. The meals were also delicious for both breakfast and dinner. A male staff member in the dining area was very kind and gave us detailed information about the sightseeing spot we planned to visit the next day, including how to get there, walking time, and parking. We would love to stay again!!

As a truly remote hot spring, the drive to get there was challenging, but it was a wonderful inn well worth the effort. Surrounded by rich nature, even the wait for the cable car was enjoyable as we took in the gorge views and watched small birds. We also used the private bath first thing in the morning and were able to fully enjoy the hot spring while wrapped in peaceful nature—it was truly an unforgettable moment. The staff were wonderfully international, and rather than striving for perfection, each person’s sincere, heartfelt work came through, which made us feel very warm and welcome. At dinner, they kindly moved us to a window-side table so we could savor delicious dishes along with the beautiful scenery. My European husband was also very satisfied. Next time, we would love to return during the autumn foliage or snowy season. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Staying here was absolutely the right choice. The staff were wonderful, the food was excellent, and the views were beautiful—we were very satisfied. These days, there are fewer chances to chat with hotel staff wherever you stay, but Kazuraya felt warm and welcoming, which we really appreciated. We’d love to visit again. Thank you very much.
