We stayed here on the second day of our 4-night, 5-day driving trip around Tohoku, Niigata, and Kusatsu. We enjoyed baked sweets and coffee in the salon next to the courtyard before heading to our room. Dinner was a beautifully presented French course made with local ingredients, and the flavors suited us perfectly. What impressed us most was the baths—both the large public bath and the open-air bath had wonderfully silky water that left our skin smooth. The temperature was just right, and we were able to relax at length. The kiritanpo hot pot for breakfast was also delicious, and we were very satisfied. Above all, we loved everyone’s warm smiles. The hand-drawn map by a staff member was also soothing. We’d love to visit again in a different season.

In conclusion, the value for the price was outstanding. The Room was clean and spacious, and we also appreciated the table and chairs on the balcony. We were amazed by the Onsen water quality. We never expected such a strong sulfur scent from an Onsen in this area! The private open-air bath in the Room had a ceramic tub, and it was wonderful to soak comfortably with our legs stretched out. It was so good that we used it many times! We felt the upper slat of the privacy screen could be removed without any issue. It would make a big difference in how open it feels. The food also surprised us. Since we chose a standard Plan, we honestly didn’t expect that much, but there were many local ingredients and thoughtful touches—and above all, everything was seasoned beautifully and tasted excellent. We felt the head chef must be truly exceptional. We’re very interested in the chef’s choice course! All of the staff were kind as well. It was so great that we went ahead and made another Reservation for one month later.

The Room, the food, and the staff were all excellent. The only disappointment was that you can’t see the outside view from the large public bath. However, with this Room Plan, we could use a private bath for free and received a welcome drink, along with other nice extras we didn’t notice at the time of Reservation, which made it a great trip. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

I recently stayed at Hotel Foresta Chokai. Above all, the staff were incredibly kind, and I had a very comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, they took great care of me, and it’s the kind of wonderful hotel that makes you think, “I want to stay here again.” The room was comfortable, and the setting—surrounded by nature with views that let you truly feel Mt. Chokai—was fantastic. The famous Hottai Falls is also nearby and easy to reach by car, so it’s a great place to enjoy sightseeing along with your stay. And most of all, the hot springs were amazing! The open-air bath was especially relaxing, and I was happy to hear that guests can use the private family bath free of charge as well. I enjoyed the hot springs at night, and by chance it was quiet during the first-bath hours in the morning too, so I went again. Being able to enjoy them both at night and in the morning made me feel like I got an extra-special experience. This is a warm and welcoming hotel where you can relax in beautiful natural surroundings, enjoy excellent hot springs, and be treated kindly by everyone on staff. I really loved my stay this time and would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

The hot springs were a great value—you can enjoy the baths in the hotel as well as the adjacent day-use hot spring facility, so I went in many times! The “one-person” sashimi boat platter didn’t look like much in the photos (sorry for my assumption), but it was easily enough for 2–3 people. At this price, all I can say is “amazing”! The Tsuyahime rice cooked in a pot was also delicious; combined with being freshly cooked, the rice was beautifully glossy. Of course, Tsuyahime was served at breakfast too—I even had seconds. I also visited by motorcycle, and they guided me to a covered area by the eaves, so it felt safe even if it rained. (It’s at the back and they will show you.) Even when I contacted them by email, they replied with detailed information and completely put my mind at ease. I’d love to stay again if I have the chance.

I came to Kakunodate for the first time to see the weeping cherry blossoms at the samurai residences. Since I prefer to eat dinner out, I stayed at this Hotel with a No Meals Included plan. The Room was clean and I had no complaints about the Facility, but it felt more like a clinic ward than I expected—almost like being hospitalized... I was also a little disappointed that the bed was on the small side. All of the staff were very pleasant, and when I got lost on the way to an izakaya they recommended, they even came with me. The restaurant was wonderful as well. I also enjoyed the free breakfast (rice balls and pork miso soup) the next morning. I would like to stay here again.

The staff at the accommodation were incredibly helpful. We stayed during the year-end, and the interior of the yurt was so warm and comfortable that we couldn't feel the cold outside. The dinner options, including the hot pot course and barbecue course, were abundant with plenty of meat, vegetables, mushrooms, appetizers, and even ice cream for dessert. We were completely satisfied. One member of our group couldn't eat meat, so we requested in advance to substitute seafood for the hot pot meat. The staff handled this request kindly and attentively. Breakfast was served buffet-style with bread, soup, coffee/juice, fried rice (which was especially delicious), fresh vegetable salad—all of which were delightful and satisfying. We also received free tickets to a nearby onsen facility. Bringing along a towel set from our bungalow that could be returned at the onsen made it convenient to enjoy outdoor baths, löyly sessions, and saunas before heading back home. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully arranged for an exceptional experience. Highly recommended!
