This was the Accommodation I had wanted to stay at on my first trip to Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Accommodation was very clean and quiet, and I was able to relax in a calm atmosphere. The Room was spacious, and the view of the reflecting pool from the terrace was beautiful. The open-air bath in the Room had free-flowing natural hot spring water, which felt wonderful. At the bar lounge, I enjoyed complimentary drinks while chatting with the staff and had a great time. I highly recommend this Accommodation for anyone looking to spend a relaxing stay for a special anniversary or simply to unwind and forget about everyday life.

It was a wonderful Accommodation, just as rumored. The Onsen on the first floor was especially impressive. The staff were very courteous, and since we arrived 30 minutes before our scheduled meal, they kindly adjusted the dining time for us. When making the Reservation, I had ordered a birthday cake, and they also prepared a birthday melody on a music box, a small flower basket, and even celebratory bite-sized sekihan and sweets—it was truly touching.

Every year, our family of six goes on a trip, and this time we visited Nagato Yumoto Onsen, Hagi, and Tsuwano. On the first night, we stayed at Gyokusenkaku. The staff were very kind, the value for money was excellent, and the food was great. Even though many places now ask guests to do things themselves (like laying out futons), we really appreciated that they prepared our futons for us. As a treat for myself, I also enjoyed a massage—something that fewer places offer these days. The Onsen bath water was gentle and soft on the skin, and we were very satisfied.

I chose this Hotel because I love the SOIL brand, and it was an even better stay than I expected! I really liked the exterior design that blends into the scenery of the Nagato Yumoto area, as well as the interior design that seems to value natural colors. The staff kept a comfortable level of distance, and I also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. The sauna on the top floor had just the right humidity, so it didn’t feel too intense even when staying in longer than usual despite the temperature. Relaxing while listening to the evening cicadas may end up being one of my highlights of this summer!

I stayed here with my daughter on a trip to Yamaguchi. We drove from Shin-Shimonoseki to the Ryokan by rental car. Right after arriving, we enjoyed the footbath, then the granite bath. After a walk around, we returned to the Ryokan for the open-air bath. After dinner, we used the bath in our Room. In the morning, we went to the hinoki-wood bath. After breakfast, we used the Room bath again. We really enjoyed all the Onsen. It may just have been how I felt, but when I woke up in the morning my fingers weren’t stiff like usual—maybe it was an Onsen effect. The food was delicious, the riverside scenery was beautiful, and there were few tourists, so it felt like a hidden gem. The staff at this Ryokan were also very welcoming and made it feel homey. The building showed its age, but that gave it character. The only disappointment was that the air conditioner in our Room didn’t cool well and it was uncomfortable. Maybe it’s an older unit? Also, there was a musty smell in the Room (different from sulfur) that bothered me. Still, I’d like to visit again if I have another chance, and if friends ask me for recommendations for a good Onsen getaway, this is an Accommodation I’d suggest.

At first glance, I was surprised by how large the Hotel was. The exterior looked a bit old-fashioned. However, the interior and the Room were very clean, and of course there were no issues at all. The private family bath had a nice atmosphere, and we could relax and enjoy the Onsen at our own pace. The large public bath also had a sauna and an open-air bath, so we could enjoy the Onsen there as well. The Facility offerings were very extensive, with entertainment options such as a bowling alley, karaoke, billiards, table tennis, and arcade games—something everyone can enjoy (we enjoyed bowling). For dinner, there was an izakaya on B1 of the Hotel, and we also enjoyed the friendly service from the staff. Breakfast was served buffet-style inside the Hotel with a wide variety of dishes, which was great. Overall, it was a good Hotel for enjoying meals and Onsen with close friends or a partner.

The building felt a bit old, but the interior decorations and furnishings were tasteful. The staff provided pleasant service, making it a relaxing and refreshing accommodation.

The Room was clean. The pillows were comfortable, and the location was convenient. I’d like to stay again. Thank you.

I stayed here with my daughter while accompanying my grandchild on a soccer trip. The Room was very clean and well maintained, with a natural, cozy feel from the warmth of the wood—really lovely. Breakfast was delicious, and as someone who prefers bread, it was perfect for me. My daughter prefers rice in the morning and said it would have been nice to have that option as well, but she still enjoyed it. I’d love to stay again.

Once again, it was a very pleasant stay. The meals were delicious, and the fried chicken we had last year was so good that we ordered it again this time—still outstanding!

I made a reservation for one night. As mentioned in the details, the bathroom was small, but the room was spacious and comfortable. Since it was a smoking-allowed room, I thought it would have been nice to have an air purifier. I would like to use this accommodation again.
