사토미역 × 자연 체험 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

We arrived before check-in, but we were kindly shown to our Room. The Room was very clean and had all the necessary amenities and seasonings. After check-out, we were given a ride to the station by car, which was very helpful. We would love to stay here again!

An unbelievably low price of 6,000 yen during the Obon holiday period. At this price, you can swallow a few complaints. Best for people who just want something cheap and don’t care about the details. Not suitable for couples or families. - After arriving at the Hotel, we were told we couldn’t use the large public bath. A nearby Onsen was already closed, so we used the Room’s unit bath. Hot water did come out properly. - The Room is old and feels a bit scary. - Breakfast is basically a free add-on: only a little bread, rice, and a small amount of side dishes. The miso soup tasted like it hadn’t been checked. - The staff were pleasant; I just wished the owner would improve things a bit more. It was fine because I stayed with friends. If it had been with family or a partner, the mood would have dropped…

The Ryokan is old but very clean, and the Room has been renovated and is beautifully maintained. The futon is made up of multiple stacked mattresses, giving it a nice height and exceptional comfort. The black hot spring bath fits up to three people; it isn’t large, but the water is pleasantly lukewarm so we could soak and relax. Above all, the meal portions were outstanding—yuba (tofu skin), thick rolled omelet, salt-grilled ayu with roe, freshly fried tempura, a meat hot pot, rice, and much more—everything was plentiful and very satisfying. Everyone was very kind, and I would love to stay here again when visiting Yoro Valley.

The accommodation has been renovated, and both the rooms and dining area are very clean. The cleaning is thorough, providing a sense of cleanliness, and the meals were satisfying. I especially enjoyed the soy milk hot pot. The onsen can be reserved for private use at night, which was also great. It’s quiet with natural surroundings, and the location near Yoro Valley is excellent. Since there are almost no amenities provided, I brought my own cosmetics and coffee. As an accommodation where you can relax in an onsen for around 10,000 yen per person, it offers high satisfaction. I would love to visit again next time and try staying in a room along the stream.

As this is a simple Hotel, it can’t be helped that the room is small, but I wish the bathroom and toilet area had been a bit more spacious. The bed and main room were excellent. It was comfortable.

I made the reservation because my 3-year-old child loves trains, and the idea of being able to see the Kominato Railway up close was very appealing. My child was thrilled, and we had a memorable summer vacation. For those considering staying here, I’ve summarized the pros and cons below. 【Pros】 - You can see the Kominato Railway from a very close distance - A barbecue grill is provided (*bring your own charcoal and fire starters) - The house is very spacious and clean - About a 10-minute drive to Zō no Kuni (Elephant Kingdom) - A 2–3 minute walk to Seven-Eleven convenience store - Plenty of air conditioners installed throughout the house - Equipped with a projector and large TV screen - As it’s a rental villa, there’s also a rice cooker and microwave available - Toilets and showers are available on both floors 【Cons】 - The staff at reception (possibly foreign?) spoke limited Japanese - There were many insects like spiders or grasshoppers outside (*we saw some inside as well) - Most nearby shops are closed on weekdays - The road leading to the accommodation is narrow, which might be intimidating for larger vehicles My family was deeply impressed by how well this traditional house has been maintained, and we could feel the owner’s attention to detail everywhere. There were also delicious restaurants nearby, so we’d love to stay here again!
