마쓰오역 (지바현) × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

The Accommodation was stylish, clean, and comfortable, and we were able to relax. It was also fun finding photo spots around the property to take pictures of our dog. The dog run was spacious and well maintained. It’s also close to the sea, so we enjoyed walking along the beach. Above all, the food was delicious! It’s rare to find an Accommodation where you can stay with your dog and still enjoy truly authentic cuisine. Since the menu changes with the seasons, we’d love to visit again.

The dog run is very spacious and pleasant. As soon as we arrived, my dog happily ran around, and I felt glad to have chosen this accommodation. It's an environment where dogs can relax freely, which naturally puts owners at ease as well. The traditional Japanese house has a calm atmosphere, allowing for a very peaceful stay. We enjoyed experiences like making miso and koji, as well as roasting rice crackers over the irori hearth—much more fun than expected! Roasting rice crackers over the irori was surprisingly challenging; adjusting the heat while slowly roasting them was a fresh experience. However, the rice crackers I made myself were far more delicious than I imagined. For dinner, we had an irori kaiseki meal prepared by the staff while we relaxed by watching the fire—a leisurely dining experience without any rush that allowed us to savor every bite. At night, we spent time by the bonfire without doing much of anything in particular. Just watching my dog relax nearby filled me with contentment. This is an accommodation that naturally makes you think, "I want to come back again."

As a newly opened Accommodation starting in 2025, everything is spotless and beautifully maintained. There are three bedrooms: two Rooms with two bedrooms each, plus one modern tatami Room in white and brown. The bedrooms also come with a projector and WiFi. The garden is enclosed by an aluminum fence, and with few neighboring houses nearby, it feels wonderfully private. The pool is clean as well, and it’s lit up at night for a great atmosphere. The BBQ Facility in the garden has a roof and vinyl curtain-style walls, so you can use it even in rain or wind. There’s also lighting, and heating installed under the roof, making it comfortable at night or during colder seasons. A washer-dryer is provided—having no piles of laundry after the trip was a huge help. Towels are also available. It was our first villa stay, and it exceeded expectations—an outstanding Accommodation with everything we needed.

Compared with a typical Business Hotel, it was far more comfortable. A spacious bathroom, a large TV, and in the family-type rooms there’s even karaoke. Some people may feel hesitant about it, but I personally loved it!! The only inconvenience was that there were no restaurants nearby. It felt luxurious for a solo stay—I’ll definitely use it again!!

It was new, clean, well-equipped, and reasonably priced. The garden was spacious, and we could park right in front—very satisfying overall. However, it felt a bit small for three people plus one pet.

This was our second stay, and we visited as a couple. Once again we stayed in the WEST building (my favorite, with a stone sauna). It’s a private villa-style Accommodation with high walls, so you can relax without worrying about the surroundings. When we opened the door, even the long hallway was nicely heated and warm, and the living room was cozy too. And this time there were complimentary drinks in the fridge—Pocari Sweat, mineral water, Perrier, and more—which was a lovely added service! The new cold plunge pool had been filled with hot water this time, so we could soak slowly as if it were an open-air bath—it felt amazing. Part of it is deep enough to submerge up to your neck, so you do need to be careful, but it was a bath experience you don’t often find elsewhere. And another major new addition—the cave-like sauna we’d been looking forward to—lets you lie down inside; my sauna-loving husband was thrilled and said the tea löyly aroma was wonderful. This time we also booked an on-site private chef for the first time. Dinner started with appetizers and soup, followed by sea bream with perfectly crisped skin served with an orange butter sauce; the wagyu came with nori and a red wine sauce—everything tasted incredible. The strawberry mille-feuille dessert and fromage blanc ice cream were outstanding!! We were completely satisfied being able to savor such a luxurious course at our own pace. Breakfast was also very filling: a generously stuffed sandwich, two kinds of quiche, plus strawberries and yogurt—an excellent professional-quality meal that we fully enjoyed. Everything was delicious. We were also impressed by how gently the chef explained each dish (almost like whispering) and how smoothly everything came together. The stylish black-themed space and interior are wonderful every time we visit. The latest Facilities and high-end appliances can take some getting used to if you don’t read the manuals carefully, but everything—from tableware to decor—is tasteful, making it easy to spend special time comfortably at your own pace. Just one thing: I mistakenly thought the chef would arrive at 16:00; in reality they arrived at 17:30 and dinner started at 18:30. I regret not confirming in advance—I might have been able to enjoy my beloved stone sauna a bit more while waiting. Highly recommended for anyone who loves saunas or stone saunas—and for those who want a special dining experience in an extraordinary setting! We stayed last time at the end of summer and had great fun using the pool at night too, so we’d love to come again in summer.

We stayed with a family of 10. The BBQ Facility had a rusty grill grate, so we went out to buy disposable grates. There was no spare lighter and it was out of fuel. There are no seasonings, so you need to bring your own. The bath water from the shower was lukewarm unless we turned the temperature up quite high! Also, maybe it’s well water? The hot water we filled the tub with had a slight greenish tint. Other than that, everything was very well equipped and great! Alcohol was also provided in the refrigerator as a complimentary service. Water was stocked in the small refrigerator, and tea and other items were fully provided as well! The Room was spacious, there were two bedrooms, and we could even do fireworks—our kids were thrilled! Since there are no houses nearby, it was nice not having to worry even if the kids got loud or cried. It was very clean!!
