สถานีชิโมซะ ทาจิบานะ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

The property and the Room were very clean, and it was quiet at night with little noise from the hallway or neighboring Rooms, so I was able to rest well. However, since it faces a major road, the loud exhaust noise from groups of modified cars echoed for a while, which was disappointing. Around 4:00 PM on a weekday, no one was in the large public bath, so I could enjoy it in luxury. I also appreciated the free ice cream after bathing. Breakfast was delicious as well. Whenever I passed the cleaning staff in the hallway, they greeted me pleasantly and left a very good impression.

Last time I only had breakfast, but after hearing great reviews from locals, I tried dinner for the first time—this time it was an oden set meal with braised pork. I noticed this last time as well: the ladle was left in the miso soup pot, which felt unhygienic. Also, the heat from the soup keeps the ladle hot, making it hard to hold and difficult to pour. Sorry for focusing so much on food—it's part of the joy of traveling, so I hope this is helpful. I took a detour to the mouth of the Tone River before checking in; Choshi Ohashi Bridge was truly impressive. The convenience store looks close but is actually a bit far, so it would be nice if there were vending machines inside offering light snacks and sweets. The sincerity of your front desk staff is truly one of a kind.

A reliably solid Route Inn.\nWith a spacious public bath, I often stay here when traveling. No complaints except that the bath was a bit hot.

The check-in staff greeted me with a pleasant, genuine smile, and their service made it clear that the company’s hospitality training is excellent. The Room key is a type where you enter using a 6-digit PIN, so once you remember it, it’s convenient when going to the bath since you don’t need to carry anything except a towel, and it also feels secure from a safety standpoint. The Room was small for one person and was mostly taken up by the bed, so doing desk work would be a bit difficult, but if you’re just there to sleep, it was spacious enough. However, I have lower back pain and needed a firmer mattress; my back hurt slightly in the morning, so unfortunately it didn’t suit me. You can choose your preferred pillow next to reception, but I don’t usually use one so I didn’t take advantage of this. I love Onsen and used it three times during my one-night stay; by the second time I could feel benefits strong enough to moisturize my dry skin, so I was satisfied. I would have liked a few more hot dishes at the breakfast buffet. There were several kinds of bread available. The tomato dressing for the salad was delicious. There weren’t many side dishes overall, but considering it as breakfast, I also felt it was sufficient. Overall, with good service, cleanliness, an Onsen on site, and breakfast buffet included at this price range, I think this is a Hotel I can confidently recommend. One thing to note is that there aren’t any restaurants within walking distance from the Hotel for dinner, so you’ll likely want to drive somewhere or buy food in advance for peace of mind. Also, alcohol isn’t sold at the Hotel; if you plan to drink in your Room, I recommend purchasing drinks beforehand.

The Onsen was very relaxing. Having an Onsen and a delicious breakfast was great. There are plenty of supermarkets and places to eat nearby, so I was satisfied. It was a bit hard to notice that basic skincare amenities were available at the front desk.

This was my first stay. Since I was traveling by car and it was close to my destination the next day, I made a Reservation and stayed here. The price was low, so I expected to overlook a few minor issues, but there was no need to worry—it was well within an acceptable range. There’s no elevator, which made it easy to go back and forth to the car. If the location works for me again, I’d stay here again.

The Room and bathroom were very clean. The coffee was especially delicious. Thank you. However, the refrigerator under the TV did not cool properly, and the mineral water remained lukewarm until the next day (even after adjusting the temperature settings).

I made a Reservation because the station is close and convenient, and the price was relatively low. The building has a 1990s look, and some of that atmosphere—and a few worn areas—remain in the shared spaces, but the hallways and Rooms have been properly renovated and are clean. We stayed in a Japanese-style Room. I was surprised that the bath was a unit bath, but the Facility was more than sufficient and we had no issues. Amenities are available at the amenity corner on the first floor, where each guest takes what they need. Although it wasn’t specifically mentioned in the Hotel information, they also provide convenient loungewear similar to a hospital gown. Breakfast is not a buffet; you can choose either a Japanese or Western set meal. The Japanese set had plenty of food, with properly prepared dishes such as simmered fish. It felt much better than the rough buffets at other Business Hotels that simply line up pre-made or retort foods. They responded politely to both my email questions and phone calls. We used this Hotel for a family trip, and since it was very reasonably priced, we were able to enjoy fresh seafood in Choshi in luxury the next day with the money we saved. If I have another chance, I would like to stay again.

The staff were all very pleasant. Everyone was friendly, with smiles and a perfect sense of distance. The Facility is not new but clean. The public bath was also very clean. I especially liked the shampoo and conditioner in the public bath, which left my hair feeling silky smooth. Breakfast had more variety than expected and was delicious. We chose a Room with Airweave bedding, and my family member with back pain found it very effective and was delighted. It felt a bit expensive, but we were glad we chose it. However, one major disappointment was the water area in the Room. The edge of the sink drain hole had mold all over it. I cleaned it before use, and it came off easily—so please ensure this is cleaned beforehand next time! Also, near the sink area, there seemed to be failed caulking or cracks that looked like they could harbor insects—it gave me goosebumps just looking at them! My family also found this unbearable; it's not just my opinion. It was so unsettling that I covered it with tissue paper to get through our stay. If this issue persists during our next visit, we wouldn't be able to stay again—it’s that disturbing of an issue for us! This is such a great Hotel otherwise; please fix these caulking issues as soon as possible for future guests' comfort! Thank you so much in advance!

It was my first stay here in a while, and I was happy to feel that familiar comfort again. Breakfast is just as delicious as ever.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so you won’t have trouble finding a place to eat. It’s also convenient to have a convenience store right in front of the property. The Room was spacious and comfortable. There were no particular issues, so I would like to stay here again.

My last business trip of the year was to Kashima. This time, for the first time in three months, I stayed again at Flexstay Inn Kashima Central. Since it was a one-night stay, I arrived around 6:00 p.m. The renovation work seemed to be finished and the place felt newly reopened, but I did not use the affiliated Onsen Facility. Last time, the Christmas decorations at ART Hotel Central were wonderful... and this time I was amazed by the Hina Matsuri display—Hina dolls covering an entire staircase. Will there be decorations for Boys’ Day in May as well? I’m very curious. The seasonal decorations are truly impressive. I travel to Kashima frequently for work, so I think I will stay at Flexstay Inn Kashima Central again next time. Although I only book room-only stays, I’m always surprised by how inexpensive the bento boxes are at the TAIYO supermarket next door. The location is excellent and reasonably priced, making it my go-to Hotel for business trips to Kashima.

I stayed here for one night during a touring trip. It doesn’t have Hotel-style facilities, but it was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I could park my large motorcycle right near the door, making it easy to carry my luggage. The Room is separated into a living area (with a large TV) and a bedroom—far more space than I needed for a solo stay. There’s only a shower (no bathtub), but there’s an Onsen day-use bath just a 1-minute walk away. (I just used the shower; bring your own towel!) The sunset over the sea right in front was incredibly beautiful, and I could even see Mt. Fuji. At the izakaya on the same property, I enjoyed drinks and dinner at the counter while chatting with the owner about sake—an excellent time all around. I was surprised to have such a comfortable stay for about half the price of a basic Business Hotel. There’s also a convenience store about a 5–6 minute walk away. This is an Accommodation I’d definitely like to visit again.

Due to heavy snowfall the day before, I made a last-minute Reservation because I didn’t think I’d be able to get to work if I went home. Since dinner wasn’t included, I checked in after picking up some food. I was happy to receive one beer as a welcome drink. I headed straight to the bath—had the large public bath and the sauna all to myself, which was incredibly comfortable. The sauna was around 84°C; I did three quiet sets at a relaxed pace. The cold bath is always running with tap water and stays clean. There are two chairs. It’s very comfortable—a Hotel stay–only sauna where you don’t have to worry about other people watching. That alone makes it worth recommending. Breakfast is all-you-can-eat; I ate well, relaxed, and then went to work. I had a comfortable stay without being late, and thank you for the polite service at the front desk. You get service that exceeds the price. It was a great Hotel. I’ll use it again.

Whenever I came back to Asahi City, I usually stayed at Hotel R9, but I heard a new Route Inn had opened, so I made a Reservation with the 30-day early booking Plan. Since it has just opened, it was spotless—check-in was smooth, and having the Route Inn app made it even quicker. The staff were very friendly, and at breakfast their cheerful greetings (“Good morning”) made my day start off great. Next year as well, I will definitely stay at Route Inn Asahi again.

Because of the unique container Room concept, you can stay at any R9 with confidence knowing the quality is consistently reliable. Aside from the difference between twin and double, the layout and in-room amenities feel standardized. There is also physical distance between neighboring Rooms, so noise is not an issue. The Room lock here was a key card type, though some locations use a PIN code system. There aren’t many restaurants nearby at this location, but there’s a supermarket just a few minutes’ walk away that sells deli items and boxed meals, which is very convenient. If there’s one thing I find disappointing about R9, it’s the complimentary frozen light meal (one per night). Among the options, the curry rice never heats properly in the microwave. The rice gets piping hot, but the curry stays cold and slightly icy. I’ve tried it at four different R9 locations and it was always the same—I ended up mixing them together to even out the temperature before eating. Safer choices are yaki udon or fried rice. Honestly, that’s about all I can complain about—personally I really like R9 overall. If you’re hesitant because it’s a container Room, I’d definitely recommend trying it at least once.

It would be even better if there were a large public bath. A unit bath is a bit… But it’s been helpful.

The ocean stretches out right in front of you, and the sunsets were so beautiful they felt truly cleansing. All of the staff were kind, making this a very comfortable Accommodation. Above all, the meals were delicious, and we enjoyed plenty of fresh seafood—an unforgettable, happy time. We’d love to come back again soon to relax.

I stayed for one night. The Room had an ocean view. Despite being November, it was warm thanks to the sunlight. The building might be old, but everything was thoroughly cleaned and felt very comfortable. The drink bar's used glasses were frequently collected, keeping it always clean. During the bath inspection time, the staff worked quickly without being intrusive and even asked about the water temperature, which was very soothing. The water temperature was perfect!
