기타야마역 (도치기현) × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I had a very comfortable stay. Considering the price, it offered excellent value for money, and every meal was delicious with just the right portions. The Ryukyu-tatami Room was spacious and clean, making it easy to relax. Both the large public bath and the open-air bath were roomy, and the water felt soft with a slight silky texture—very soothing. I also appreciated being seated at a quiet end spot in the dining area for solo guests, which allowed me to enjoy my meals in peace. This is an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again in a different season.

I stayed here and had a good experience. After check-in, I received a frozen meal, which was a nice value. The Room was clean and there were no particular issues. However: 1) The map showing the smoking area was hard to understand. 2) There were insects around the outdoor light at the entrance, so I was concerned they might come in when opening the door.

This was my first time staying here. It’s a small hotel nestled in the forest. The surroundings are quiet, making it a perfect place to relax. When I stepped inside, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was—it made me wonder if I should take off my shoes before entering! The wooden-style room had a toilet, shower room, and a spacious sink area. Part of the elevated floor served as a large bed. The lights automatically turned on and off based on movement, which meant no need to manually switch them when getting into bed or waking up for the restroom—so convenient! And the baths! There’s an indoor bath on the first floor and an open-air bath on the second floor, both available for private use. The stone tubs were spacious with crystal-clear water, and while soaking in the outdoor bath under overhanging tree branches was amazing, even the indoor bath felt clean and refreshing. The design is minimal yet perfectly thought out—for example, there’s a spotlight-like light by the bed that’s ideal for reading or an unexpectedly long clothes rack that turned out to be very practical. It made me wonder if the owner might be an architect because they clearly understand what guests need! I’m already thinking about coming back just to stay here again—I’ve found such a gem!

I was looking for accommodation on the same day. The room had a retro Showa-era vibe. The entire town felt like a retro Showa-era setting, making it feel like I had time-traveled. It was the kind of room that could appear in a Tora-san movie. Thank you very much!

The clean Room made for a very pleasant stay. The included light meals were much appreciated! I would love to use this service again.

This was my first stay at a container-style Hotel. It was on par with a Business Hotel, and I had no issues at all. The container may shake when large vehicles pass nearby, but it doesn’t happen all the time, so it didn’t bother me. The Room felt surprisingly cold even during Golden Week, so the structure may be more affected by outside temperatures. However, it has air conditioning and heating, so there was no problem. I booked No Meals Included, but the complimentary frozen meals were very helpful! I chose mapo tofu. There’s also a microwave in the Room, which is convenient. I’d like to use this Hotel again if I have the chance.

I was looking for Accommodation with an Onsen in southern Tochigi Prefecture and made a Reservation at this Hotel. I was also able to use the neighboring day-use Onsen and had my meals there as well. The Hotel was very clean, and although the bath is not large, I was able to relax. I would like to stay here again.

Stayed in a twin room. Included a 1000 yen meal voucher, but we didn't use the dining area. The reason was that we found a highly-rated restaurant nearby. We used the meal voucher for takeout snacks instead. As it's a Route Inn, the room's design is standard across locations. The cleaning was thorough and well-maintained. There is a Seven-Eleven convenience store right in front of the accommodation. For dining options: - A Japanese restaurant "Suginoya Honjin" right in front, - McDonald's and KFC nearby, - The restaurant we visited called "Kikurin," - And an izakaya (Japanese pub) within one of the restaurants where you can also dine. You won't have trouble finding places to eat around here. On our trip: On day one, after shopping in Mashiko, we stayed overnight at this accommodation. On day two, we visited Hitachi Fudoki-no-Oka Shrine and Amabiki Kannon Temple before heading to Tsukuba Mountain's eastern side for soba noodles on Ishioka Soba Street before returning home. We would love to stay here again!

The bath and sauna were great, but the breakfast was disappointing. It would have been perfect with a wider variety of side dishes.
