교카세역 × 웰컴 라운지에서 쉴 수 있는 숙소시설・설비의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I chose this Accommodation because of its high ratings, but it exceeded my expectations—one pleasant surprise after another. Some places these days feel short-staffed, but here the service from the kimono-clad staff was outstanding, and they answered every question warmly and perfectly. I was deeply moved after finishing in two days the biography of the first founder (the proprietress’s mother), written by the current proprietress—I ended up buying a copy. The building was filled with artworks and gorgeous fresh flowers, with thoughtful touches everywhere that anticipated every need. At breakfast and again at the entrance when we departed, the proprietress greeted us with a warm smile; her mother’s teachings clearly live on here. Niigata isn’t easy for us to visit from Kanto, but I truly want to come back with my family.

I had wanted, at least once, to step into “Salon Yamasato,” the private lobby lounge of Koshinosato—I've felt that way for the past 10 years. As we reached our 60th birthdays as a couple, we decided to make a Reservation and treat ourselves at this milestone. We truly loved the cuisine, amenities, and atmosphere. I was deeply impressed by the high-quality meals—it was an Accommodation with impeccable hospitality in every way. Also, the macarons and gelato at Kaho’s salon were absolutely top-class delicious—I couldn’t stop eating them. The flavor stayed with me, and I kept wondering what brand they were. It made me strongly want to come back again. Thank you very much. The concierge staff were also incredibly kind—simply wonderful.

It was a truly wonderful Accommodation. Fresh flowers were beautifully arranged throughout the building, everything was spotless, and the lounge offerings—drinks and sweets—were excellent. The breakfast mochi was also outstanding! It was a lovely Accommodation that left our whole family very satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

I stayed here again this time. The Room is always exceptionally clean, which I really appreciate. I accidentally forgot my facial cleanser, but it was available from the lobby amenities, which was very helpful. I was also happy to find a summer limited-time bath additive. I booked an early check-out Plan, and it was very convenient since it’s just a short walk to the Shinkansen ticket gates. I expect I’ll be traveling to Niigata for a while, so I’d definitely like to stay here again.

I traveled with my mother in her 80s. The staff, the meals, and the baths—everything exceeded our expectations. My mother was very happy too. We had a Multiple Night Stay, and they made sure the meals didn’t repeat, and everything was delicious. If I had one request, since it was a hot summer, I would have appreciated a refrigerator with a freezer compartment to freeze ice packs (it was refrigerator-only).

Of the five Accommodations I stayed at on this trip, this one was the cheapest yet the best. The bed was large and very comfortable, and the Room had a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was included as a complimentary service, and everything—from chikuzen-ni to miso soup—was hearty and delicious. In any case, they had everything you could need, and I could really feel the owner’s hospitality. Thank you very much.

I stayed in Room 311 in GATEI, and the tatami floor creaked a lot, so it might bother some people. Other than that, everything was very good. The bath was hot and kept me warm afterward, which felt great. There is a sauna, but no cold plunge pool, so you can’t use it the same way as a typical public bathhouse. The sulfur Onsen had quite a strong smell, though I thought that added to the atmosphere in its own way. The smell does linger throughout the Hotel, though. I only had breakfast, but it was very satisfying—especially the miso soup.

The emerald-green Onsen was wonderful. In the morning, the baths switch between men and women, so we could enjoy a different atmosphere. All the staff were kind, and we had a very comfortable stay. This is an Accommodation I would love to stay at again.

This was my fifth visit to Tsukioka Onsen. It was my first stay at Akebono, but Tsukioka Onsen has excellent water quality, and Akebono’s baths were great as well. Since I stayed on the last day of a three-day weekend, it was quiet, and I could enjoy the spacious baths at a relaxed pace. The dinner looked like it would be neither too much nor too little in the photos at the time of Reservation, but in reality it was quite generous and left me very full. Everything was delicious. For breakfast, the side dishes felt like they were meant to go with rice, but they were also tasty—I even had seconds. The rice itself was excellent too, just as you’d expect from Niigata, famous for its rice.

The meals were delicious. The bath is small, but it’s well cleaned, and the open-air bath is also small, but the water is pleasantly warm so you can soak for a long time. Since it’s all-inclusive, I enjoyed a beer at check-in and after bathing. Sake during meals was also all-you-can-drink with a wide selection—this Accommodation was perfect for those who love to drink. I deducted one star because the TV was small, but everything else was 100 points! I’ll be back!

We had a comfortable stay. Thank you.

All the staff were kind, and the property was clean. The Hotel did feel a bit dated. Breakfast and dinner were both very delicious—much better than I expected for the price. The Niigata rice was especially good. The complimentary snacks and drinks in the lounge were also nice. Roasting marshmallows over the irori at night was fun. The large public bath and open-air bath, fed by a private hot spring source, were excellent as well. However, it seemed a little different from Tsukioka Onsen’s typical emerald-green water with a thin oily film on the surface. Maybe there is a lot of added water? I’m not sure. Even so, considering the value for money, meals, various services, and how kind the staff were, I think it’s a good Hotel. Thank you for taking care of us. The town area of Tsukioka Onsen is beautifully maintained and very pleasant. It’s an Onsen I would definitely like to visit again.

I have stayed here several times. The Facility is very clean. You can also enjoy a welcome drink. On top of that, I really appreciate that breakfast is included. The staff were kind as well.
