The Room is stylish and clean. Thank you very much for your hospitality the other day.

I had to travel suddenly from Nagasaki for a wake, and stayed here afterward. My son and his wife also came from Aichi, and we stayed together in a large Room. We had dinner after the wake and checked in late, so I thought we wouldn’t make it to our reserved private bath time. However, we were still able to use the private bath, and my grandchild was thrilled to enjoy it with us. The breakfast staff were also very kind. This was my second stay, and I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

On our previous stay, we stayed in the Room “Kyujyo” and had a very comfortable time. This time, we stayed in the detached Room “Shin,” about 3–4 minutes away by car. It was originally built as a storehouse of the Marubayashi family, who prospered as lantern makers. The earthen walls and exposed pillars and beams are full of character, and the open atrium ceiling makes this private rental villa feel wonderfully spacious and luxurious. During bath time, we were soothed by the scent of cedar wood and truly enjoyed a peaceful escape from everyday noise—there’s no TV or clock. We also enjoyed comparing three types of Yame tea and tasting local sake (Shigemasu), which let us experience Yame’s food culture. Breakfast was delicious, healthy, and generously portioned—we were completely satisfied. We also enjoyed chatting with the wonderful woman who assisted us. Seeing someone so motivated at work made it clear how appealing the management company is as well. Someday, we would love to stay in another Room too. Thank you very much.

A reliably solid stay at Hotel AZ. I stayed here because there was a night visit to Fukushima Hachimangu Shrine. Around the Hotel, there are places like MaxValu, 7-Eleven, and Doramori that stay open late, plus plenty of popular chain restaurants and izakayas—an unbeatable location! It seems the breakfast buffet menu varies slightly by area. Here they had canned tuna and even donuts. If I had to ask for one thing, I would have liked a bit more variety in the salads. Still, everything was tasty! There was no ice or deodorizer in the Room, but when I asked at the front desk they took care of it. I was able to relax again this time.

Recently, I've found myself not only fascinated by traditional Japanese house cafes but also longing to stay at a property. I finally had the chance to stay at Craft inn Te. This property is managed by the regional cultural trading company "Unagi no Nedoko," which focuses on promoting quality items, particularly those crafted by hand, such as traditional crafts. As such, the furnishings and miscellaneous goods are all carefully selected and of high quality. In addition to the beams and pillars, these meticulously crafted items further enhance the charm of the traditional Japanese house. During tea time, I enjoyed delicious Yame tea on an indigo-dyed table, was soothed by the scent of Yame cedar during bath time, slept peacefully in Kurume kasuri monpe, and boosted my gut health with a healthy breakfast served in a wooden tub. I fully enjoyed the traditional Japanese house life without a TV or clock. Next time, I would like to stay in the bamboo room. I look forward to visiting again.
