Everything was wonderful, from the warm welcome to the farewell. While everything was excellent, the meals and the beautifully maintained garden stood out in particular. The meals were carefully prepared with time and were truly delicious. The garden was very well cared for, and the fresh greenery was especially impressive. It was such a great Accommodation that I wanted to visit again with my parents, so I made a Reservation for November right away.

The building is a bit old, but the service, meals, and Onsen were all excellent. The staff’s warm hospitality was truly wonderful. Thank you very much.

Although the sky was unfortunately overcast, it was the perfect season to comfortably soak in the lukewarm natural spring water, and it felt wonderful! The meals are delicious and full of healthy options, and combined with the Onsen benefits, I feel better every time I stay. Perhaps because I kept coming back, my frozen shoulder has completely healed! The summer à la carte fried rock oysters were especially delicious—I’d love to have them again next year! This was my first Saturday stay, and I enjoyed listening to a jazz piano performance. It matched beautifully with the mysterious flicker of the bamboo lights in the garden and was incredibly soothing. There were familiar tunes and summer songs, and in the second half they even took requests, so there was a great variety of music and it was truly enjoyable. Ending with “Cradle Song” was also a stylish touch. I’m looking forward to visiting again in autumn.

I love the waters of Sakihana Onsen, so I stayed at Issuiso with my elderly mother. We chose a Room with beds, and the view of the garden greenery was very soothing. The mattress firmness was just right, and both my mother and I were able to relax and take our time. Every dish was well seasoned and made with local ingredients; each one was truly delicious. The presentation was beautiful, and you could feel the care even in something as simple as a cup of tea. There were many kinds of desserts as well, making it a highly satisfying meal from start to finish. The Onsen had beautiful emerald-green water with a gentle sulfur scent, letting us fully enjoy what makes Sakihana Onsen special. It rained on the day we used the private open-air bath, but it had a roof, and soaking while listening to the rain was incredibly relaxing. All of the staff were full of hospitality, and their service was excellent. At checkout we happened to see an SL steam locomotive too, which became a wonderful memory for my mother and me. It was a comfortable Accommodation that made me want to return again.

This was my fifth stay in Sakihana Onsen, but my first time staying at this Accommodation. The bath was small, but since it was a weekday and not crowded, it was more than sufficient. Everything was well cleaned and the service was excellent—worlds apart from the Accommodation I visited last month. The meals were also delicious. It was a shame that bathing hours were limited to 11:00 p.m., and only from 7:00 a.m. in the morning.

I chose this Accommodation after hearing that it has offered an all-inclusive plan since last year. It was my first time visiting Sakihana Onsen. As a long-established property, the exterior looked a bit aged, but the lobby had a charming atmosphere and the Room was clean. Right after check-in, we enjoyed welcome drinks and steamed buns, and from 4:00 PM there were unlimited alcoholic drinks with a wide variety of snacks—all of which could be taken back to the Room—so we were able to keep enjoying them even after dinner. Dinner was a half-buffet, and it was great to be able to eat items grilled or fried on the spot. Everything was delicious. The staff were kind and left a very good impression. I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

The accommodation may be old as mentioned in other reviews, and it might not compare to high-end places, but for me, this is the perfect onsen accommodation! I was completely satisfied from the moment I arrived. My companion was also delighted, and our first impression was excellent. After arriving, we used the indoor bath. Thanks to the limited number of rooms, we had it all to ourselves. The water quality was fantastic and even alleviated the pain in my right upper arm caused by neuralgia. As for dinner... while you can hear other guests' voices, each group has a private dining space where you can enjoy your meal without worrying about others. The rice was delicious, and every dish served exceeded expectations! For someone over 50 like me, there was plenty of food—it was honestly a challenge not to leave anything behind! But what impressed me most during dinner were the staff members who attended us; their warm personalities and smiles (even through masks) made dining an absolute pleasure. I’ve often avoided meals at accommodations due to past disappointments; however, this place completely changed my perspective with its exceptional food and outstanding service from staff members—so much so that I went to bed feeling deeply moved. The next morning before breakfast, we reserved a private open-air bath (though initially planned for before dinner but it wasn’t available). It turned out beyond expectations—a truly amazing open-air bath! Even large enough for three families together yet just two of us enjoyed it privately. Perhaps due to timing or seasonality—we saw swallows building nests nearby while hearing chirps from baby birds as parent birds busily brought them food—a serene experience indeed! Breakfast afterward left us equally satisfied despite having eaten so much at dinner—it’s hard not being full here! Having stayed at various accommodations over time only two—including this one—made me want return solely because they’re worth visiting again (the other being an unnamed place in Hirugami Onsen). In conclusion: If you're looking for affordable enjoyment combined with must-have private open-air baths—I highly recommend staying here! Lastly—to any staff member who assisted during our delightful evening meal reading this review—I hope these words bring joy your way!

The living room, kitchen, guest rooms, sauna, and toilets were all clean and well maintained. The upstairs guest rooms are modern and stylish, but in the end we all slept together on the futons downstairs! We also rented a BBQ set and were very satisfied. We would love to stay again!

This was our third stay. From this time, Wi-Fi was available, making it very comfortable. The accommodation staff were kind, and on the second day, as we were the only guests, we had the large rock bath all to ourselves and enjoyed a relaxing time with my wife. We are planning to visit again during New Year's.

Experience glamping with a touch of tradition, enjoying a Japanese Kaiseki dinner in a historic mansion built during the Meiji era. Accommodation is provided in "Jyubako," designed by Snow Peak and Kengo Kuma. This wooden trailer house features soft, embedded indirect lighting for a cozy atmosphere. The room includes a double-sized bed with crisp linens and plush mattresses for excellent comfort. Large windows offer an open and inviting space. The cabin is equipped with basic amenities such as a sink, toaster oven, electric kettle, regular coffee, and dripper. While there are no showers or toilets inside the cabin, sanitary facilities are conveniently located on-site and include 24-hour shower access. Guests can also use the Onsen at Tsukioka Onsen within the same group; however, it may require some travel. Dinner is served in private rooms within the main mansion—a stunning historical building filled with antique furnishings and well-maintained gardens. Paired with craft beer from Swan Lake Brewery next door, this exquisite meal offers an unforgettable dining experience. A separate building houses a self-service bar featuring local sake and draft beer from Swan Lake Brewery available all night long. Guests can enjoy drinks under the moonlight at their cabin's outdoor table for an enchanting evening. As open fires are prohibited due to being on cultural heritage grounds, glass-fronted rocket stoves are available for rent instead—highly recommended to keep warm while enjoying the ambiance of firelight alongside ample firewood provided. Surrounded by serene countryside views, guests can relax by the fire or visit the bar occasionally for drinks before retreating to their quiet cabins equipped with air conditioning for restful sleep. In the morning, enjoy breakfast under your cabin's tarp-covered area with hot sandwiches and coffee. Although direct views of surrounding rice fields are blocked by fences, only five cabins occupy this spacious property ensuring privacy and tranquility throughout your stay. Check-out is simple—just leave your key inside your room as staff members aren't present in the morning. While more information about local attractions would have been appreciated during check-out time—it was still an exceptional stay overall!

I stayed in the accommodation adjacent to the business hotel. The room was clean, and the bedding was fresh. The bath felt like a medium-sized public bath. When I went at 5 PM, it was slightly lukewarm, but my child seemed to find it just right. (By nighttime, it had warmed up properly.) I initially thought I would have dinner at the izakaya on-site, but it was fully booked. However, the front desk immediately suggested another place nearby, and a dining spot just a few minutes' walk away turned out to be delicious as well. There’s also a convenience store about five minutes away on foot, making it relatively convenient. The room had two power outlets; with one used for the TV, only one remained available, which felt slightly insufficient. Shared facilities like a refrigerator and kettle were available too, allowing for a comfortable one-night stay! Thank you very much!

I’ve stayed here about three times. As always, I was able to soak and relax in the mildly warm Onsen and recover from fatigue. The meals weren’t flashy and felt a bit plain, but they were delicious. I’ll definitely stay again.
