I found a Plan that does not use wheat flour, vegetable oils, dairy products, or sugar, and stayed here looking forward to these meals. An Accommodation offering a “Four Toxins-Free Plan” is still rare across the whole country, so it felt like I had finally found one. There were many dishes, all of them truly delicious, and I left completely full. I was very satisfied. It may have been the best food I’ve had at any Ryokan I’ve stayed at so far. Niigata Prefecture is far from my home and not somewhere I often get the chance to visit, but that made the sightseeing feel fresh as well, and I had a wonderful time.

We are grateful to all of you for your kindness.

The bath is very relaxing. The open-air bath is a comfortable size, and the greenery makes it pleasant as well. Breakfast was delicious—tuna and squid sashimi, grated yam, freshly cooked fried eggs, rice porridge, and “Ra-ho”—and I looked forward to it on the second morning too. Since I was traveling alone and staying two nights, I chose a Room without a bath to keep costs down, but if the price isn’t that much cheaper, I think I should have booked a standard Room instead. Because there is an Onsen, not having a bath wasn’t an issue, but the toilet bothered me. It seems a toilet unit was added into one corner of what looks like an enclosed veranda area by the window in the Japanese-style room. Since it’s so close to the room itself, it felt a bit uncomfortable. The TV also felt very small—about the size of a computer monitor. If it were dramatically cheaper than regular rooms, I might consider it again.

On my first visit to Shima Onsen, I had planned to arrive early and do some sightseeing, but due to heavy rain, I ended up waiting until check-in—thank you very much for accommodating me. The Room was very clean and more spacious than I expected. The in-room bath was at the perfect temperature, and I used it many times, which helped relieve my everyday fatigue. I made a Reservation with No Meals Included, but the à la carte dinner was also delicious, and the service was courteous. With an 11:00 check-out, you can take your time, and since you just return the Room key and leave, it feels casual and easygoing—perfect for someone like me who isn’t comfortable with the formal hospitality and send-offs typical of long-established Ryokan.

Onsen and breakfast are perfect. There are many types of mochi available. Honestly, every breakfast item was delicious.

From the warm welcome to the heartfelt farewell, the hospitality was exceptional. There were families staying on the same day, and it was lovely to see how attentively everyone was cared for. As described beforehand, the building has a historic charm. However, those who are sensitive to older structures might find it less suitable; hence my 4-star rating. Personally, I found the Facility more than adequate and impeccably clean, making my stay very comfortable. As of late October, in addition to air conditioning, heaters were placed throughout the property along with a kotatsu and even hot water bottles—ensuring excellent cold-weather preparation. The bath is small but can be enjoyed almost privately if timed well; it wasn’t too hot and allowed for a relaxing soak. Meals featured local ingredients thoughtfully explained by staff and paired with an excellent selection of sake. The breakfast side dishes were particularly delightful and suited my taste perfectly. Although I stayed alone this time, I would love to return with my family in the future if given another opportunity!

I stayed here when I traveled alone to Morioka to see the cherry blossoms. The building is a bit old, but it was kept very clean, and the Room had been renovated and was comfortable. I can’t eat a lot, so I chose a plan with smaller portions at a lower price. The amount was just right, and I finished everything. The food was delicious. The view from the Room was amazing.

Located on a steep hill, access by foot can be challenging. The room provided a calm and private space, allowing for a stay without encountering anyone from check-in to check-out. Although not an Onsen, the water quality was excellent. No insects were seen during the stay, but insect prevention items might create unnecessary concern for some guests. On the other hand, waking up to the sound of birds made for a delightful experience in this beautiful location.

It wasn’t like the Hotels I’ve stayed at before or a fully equipped Ryokan, but it had a relaxing atmosphere and warm hospitality. There is no toilet or washbasin in the Room, so it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. There was a piano in the Room—are guests allowed to play it? The Onsen is spacious enough for two people to enjoy comfortably, and you can also use it as a private bath without making a Reservation. On the second day, checkout was at 12:00, so we could take our time. They also stored our luggage while we went to collect Gorogoro Water and visit Godaimatsu Limestone Cave, which made sightseeing much easier. The elderly gentleman kindly said, “It’s hot down below, so please take care of yourself.” After returning to Osaka, I somehow felt lighter and full of energy! It was a mysterious place—somewhere between the world below and heaven.

The meals were delicious, and we truly enjoyed each dish. They kindly accommodated our request to start breakfast earlier. It was a great help. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to stay at again.

Although there is only one type of spring source—our favorite sulfur Onsen—we enjoyed how the water color differed between the indoor bath and the open-air bath. The open-air bath also offered beautiful fresh green maple leaves, and we would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season. The meals were a satisfying amount for enjoying drinks, with seasonal items as well. The asparagus tempura in particular was outstanding. The building is old, but the Room had been renovated and was clean. From the Room, we enjoyed the garden flowers and fresh greenery.

I stayed in November, and the unique silky texture of the bath was pleasant, offering a warmth different from other Onsen. The meals were delicious, with flavors crafted by an award-winning chef, leaving me completely satisfied. This time, I stayed in a room with a bed. The Ryokan staff were kind and attentive, making my stay entirely satisfying.

The tofu—something of a signature at this Accommodation—is delicious. We booked a Multiple Night Stay and chose the “Miyabi” dinner and the Joshu beef teppanyaki on a ceramic plate; tofu was included with both (the teppanyaki set was served at breakfast). This is a classic Japanese Ryokan. The building is old, but it’s well cleaned and we had a comfortable stay. It’s only up to the second floor, but there are stairs, so it may be a bit difficult if you have mobility issues. The staff are efficient and pleasant. This Accommodation lets you fully enjoy the charm of a small Ryokan.

I recently stayed with the No Meals Included plan. As it was a weekday after the Golden Week holidays, it wasn’t crowded, and I was able to relax and enjoy a long soak in the bath. The building feels a bit old, but the Room and large public bath were well cleaned and very pleasant. Thank you very much.

The Onsen was excellent, and it felt like a place where you could relax and take your time in the bath. The meals were also delicious. In particular, breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes, and I thought items like simmered dishes and agedashi tofu would be great to serve at dinner as well.

I arrived an hour before check-in and called on the off chance I could at least use the parking lot, but they kindly allowed me to check in early, which was a huge help. Also, for a birthday surprise, my planning wasn’t great and I ended up calling several times, but every time they responded pleasantly and explained everything carefully from start to finish. Thanks to them, it turned into the best surprise, and I’m truly grateful. Even though the price was reasonable, the meals were generous and very delicious. I don’t usually write Reviews, but the staff were so wonderful that I’m genuinely glad we chose this Ryokan. If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again. Thank you very much!

The meals were wonderful, and we were delighted by the owner’s courteous service. Thank you very much!

The Onsen in the main building was great.

I didn’t use the bath because I went to a nearby public bathhouse instead. It was a shame—I could have enjoyed an Onsen in the area if I had arrived earlier. The triple Room was spacious and comfortable. I might have been able to see the Gamagori fireworks from the Room… I should have checked. I only used the Hotel for sleeping, so I didn’t really get to enjoy it, but the front desk staff were kind and helpful. I’d like to stay again if I have another opportunity.

The Ryokan staff were very thoughtful, even in the smallest details!
