Guest Houses in Japan

Very customer service oriented & professional. Seaview room is wonderful. Room for improvement is to upgrade power charging points to USB & type C friendly, sell cup noodles in your resort shops

Insane accommodation it absolutely blew my mind. Very value for money considering the astounding facilities and sumptuous dinner and buffet breakfast. Will stay again anytime. Rooms very clean and comfortable

Very good！beautiful view and service!

This resort is definitely overrated! The resort seriously need a major overhaul. The room we stayed was so old & aged, I am pretty sure they have not done any upgrade in the past few decades 👎! My wife and I don’t even feel like spending time in the room at all. Everything in the room need to replace or touch up, I mean literally from the wall, toilet tiles, basin, shower faucet even the mattress…...

Excellent ryokan hotel with excellent service, amenities and food. The outdoor/ indoor public baths (onsens) are one of the biggest and most amazing I have ever seen. Although there are many rooms and guests, the service is unparalleled so you don’t experience long queues anywhere. There is a museum in the hotel compound if you are bored!

A nice and comfortable hotel. The hotel should inform this booking website about dinner option and allow customers to choose between Italian or Japanese cuisine.

Excellent onsen hotel in quiet yet popular location .. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Taiku drums nightly show was fun and great draw for families with kids. We stayed on a very busy weekend and hotel’s breakfast and dinner were fully booked. NTL the hotels casual restaurant was very good, menu and price wise; also excellent location to see the drum show . Easy walking distance (5-10 minutes) to...

The service staff were very friendly.

The hotel is a bit remote and the facilities are a bit old. It takes 15 minutes to walk to Gusoyu (one of the attractions), and all the nearby shops are open after 5 pm, so if you arrive before 3 pm, it is very inconvenient to go out and find food! However, the hotel's hot spring facilities are great, with indoor and outdoor free 24-hour use, and an outdoor foot bath. The kaiseki cuisine in the evening...

The room is big enough and clean

I took my mother, who has trouble walking, with me, and they provided a wheelchair for her, and a Japanese-Western style room for her, who has trouble getting out of bed, which was very helpful. Of course, the hot springs were also very pleasant, and my mother was very happy with them.

This Japanese-style hot spring hotel has complete facilities and the lobby is decorated in a very luxurious style. We arrived early and enjoyed the free afternoon tea and foot bath first. When we checked in at 3 o'clock, a waiter in kimono guided us to the door of the room, which was very considerate. After taking a bath, we had dinner on the 2nd floor of the hotel as scheduled. Dinner is a standard...

The hotel felt like old school luxury with great hospitality! Please get the dinner option if you are staying here, it’s quite the experience. There’s also a convenient gift shop within the hotel!

This was a very lovely resort! The view from our room was breathtaking! We called for pick-up from the train station and waited about 10 minutes. The next morning our ride back to the train station was waiting when we arrived in the lobby. The beds were prepared at 6pm. Dinner was reservation only, which we did not have. We walked 20 minutes into the little town to a hidden gem Ramen shop that opened...

It was the best birthday trip ever.

Everything is good and the dining environment is good! There is also the sound of insects in the creek. The bathing environment is also good, but it is a pity that there are few outdoor areas. The indoor bathing environment is quite clean. The room layout is Japanese style, the tatami beds are made efficiently, and the space is quite sufficient. Unfortunately, we did not stay long enough to experience...

The location is relatively remote, suitable for self-driving, and the breakfast is rich

Quaint place with great amenities close to the main road

The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the station. They also provide luggage storage and a shuttle to Yunokuni no Mori the next day, which is very convenient. The hotel itself is spacious and clean, and the bed in my room was very comfortable. They also offer various free experiences. The only minor downsides were that it's a bit of a walk to Ko-so-yu, and unfortunately, the room type I booked...

My family of seven stayed here at the end of the year. The facilities were great, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without having to go out after checking in. I'm glad my family was satisfied!

The hotel offers many self-service options, such as hot spring eggs, steamed buns, and snacks. The hot spring water is all sourced from natural springs, which is very relaxing. There's a shuttle service from the station, making transportation convenient. There's a Lawson convenience store nearby. Overall, it's a good hotel.

Generally speaking, all aspects of the old hotels are online, and there may be more people when there are groups.

I was randomly assigned a corner room on a high floor. The room was spacious enough, and the hotel was generally clean, with well-maintained facilities. The staff was attentive and patient. The public hot springs, both indoors and outdoors, were not crowded, quiet, and comfortable. The hotel provided complimentary drinks and snacks. The hotel restaurant does not serve dinner or breakfast unless reserved...

Highly recommended for solo traveler. The location is convenient and the staffs are helpful and friendly.

Overall the experience is excellent . Only complaint is the shower, sometimes it get really cold and sometimes really hot.

It was such a good thing I choose this place . I am Nepali and the reception lady was also Nepali lol she speak Nepali I was shocked lol she help me a lot and over all I was happy. And that Nepali lady super good hospitality:)

Service was really good. And, the location was perfect.

Great service here the staff are lovely, happy to help you. Also the location is great so close to the monorail and the bus station. Their is a few things that need a little bit more attention like the broken toilet and a block sink. Also i had problems with the WiFi, it was very slow.

Beds were comfy and friendly staff, great location and price. However, I felt like I was staying in an old people's home with lots of long term stays. Unfortunately, this meant the most amount of snoring I have ever heard, literally every bunk bed in the dorm. Bunk curtains are also no good for blocking light out or privacy. Nice chill out area and great kitchen. And fridges etc.

What a hidden gem! The service is impeccable! We stayed in the special room, it was huge and so comfortable, with our own private tub as well. The dinner was presented beautifully and tasted great! The ryokan has managed to provide excellent service while maintaining privacy as well. They provide a shuttle (please call the hotel directly in advance) to and fro from the Iwamuro train station. Overall...

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The service was consistently excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who were always ready to help. The location is a major highlight—convenient, easy to access, and close to many attractions, shops, and restaurants. Overall, it offers great comfort and value, and I would happily stay here again.

The food was excellent. The bath and sauna were at the perfect temperature. The reception in the lobby was also very pleasant. I'd like to go again.

The front desk staff were very polite and quick to respond. The room was clean and very comfortable. The food was delicious, using local ingredients.

Take the free shuttle bus directly from Yugawara Station. The room is a single without a bathtub or shower, but there are plenty of outlets and USB ports. However, there are only two hangers. The food was delicious. The hot springs in the new building are mostly for day trips, and it can be uncomfortable when there are noisy groups of guests. The main building is a little old, but it is only for overnight...

I was surprised at how luxurious the food was for the price. Thank you very much.

There are no bathing facilities in the room, it is a bit troublesome to go to the hot spring bath; the indoor hot spring is very small, it is recommended to go directly to the outdoor one; the breakfast buffet options are many, dinner is very rich.

I think it's a great place for couples to go. The fireworks were amazing. The bus ride costs about 1,600 yen per person.

Izuminoyu was very good. What's more, guests could use the baths for free the next day, and they even lent us towels. This is a very reasonable hotel, so I would like to use it again.

The room was clean and tidy, the staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and sumptuous, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with friends. I stayed here with the intention of relaxing in my room, and it was exactly what I expected, and the price was reasonable, so it was a great memory.

Celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary, we stayed at Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suite the night before and enjoyed some black abalone. On our way to our next accommodation, Auberge Yusura, we, being hot spring lovers, enjoyed the open-air garden bath, "Kazemachi no Yu," at Fukujuso.♨ To get there, you have to take a 3-minute boat ride... I realized that this is where "Haifu," the awful accommodation...

When visiting Ise-san, I used this hot spring inn as it was relatively close. It is located on a small island off the coast of a ria coast, and if you wish to stay overnight, you will enter from the opposite shore by a special boat. The boat ride only takes about 3 minutes, but it's quite atmospheric. Because the hot springs are located along the coast, they are chloride springs with a high salt concentration...

Fresh seafood is delicious. There will be more than you can eat. It has a good flavor overall. The open-air bath on the first floor is popular, but the indoor bath on the sixth floor has fewer customers. The bathtub on the 6th floor hasn't been cleaned enough and is full of mold. Even though it wasn't even the day before a holiday, there were quite a few customers. There are many group tourists, and...

The hotel is on Tokanojima Island. You drive to the dock parking lot and then carry your luggage on the boat. It was raining heavily during check-in, which was inconvenient, but the hotel's hot springs and food quality are good.

It was used by 3 families. The building is not new, but it has a pool and is a good size for families with children. There are two baths. The open-air bath is the best. There is also a raffle for children. There is a beach nearby and you can fish right in front of the property. I think you should bring your own rod and bait. Rental is also possible. Not only fishing during the day, but also enjoying...

Thank you for your help for the first time in over twenty years. A few days before my stay, I received a phone call to confirm transportation and arrival time, and was kindly given various information. On the day of the trip, the staff in the parking lot advised me to drive my family and luggage to the pier first, which was very helpful. The building itself feels old, but it is well maintained and...

The free drinks, including alcohol, in the lobby after hotel check-in were a rare and welcome feature. However, it was disappointing that the large public bath (Greek Temple) was unusable due to equipment problems on the day of our stay.

We had a pleasant stay at this Onsen hotel. I was expecting that it is dated by the reviews! The building is old and needs repairs here and there. We were satisfied with the food for both dinner and breakfast. It is not top notch and you see that the food is most likely not cooked by Japanese chefs. Our room was a traditional Japanese room. It is just like everything there a bit dated, we slept well...

I was bothered by the sound of the air conditioner

The service at Happy Tower was excellent. For those who like alcohol, you can enjoy it from check-in through to the meal. The kids also enjoyed it! I'd like to visit again!

A hotel from the bubble era, with remnants of company trips in places. The baths are for men and women, and the alcohol and crab are all-you-can-drink.

Although it is a 3-star hotel, it should have good facilities but is a bit shabby.

The service was good and the food was great!

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

It's a lovely inn with a great atmosphere, and I was very satisfied with both the food and the hot springs. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

There's a free shuttle bus service, and the daily complimentary snacks are different each day, including popular items available in the shops. They even gave us foot patches on the last day – a thoughtful touch! Breakfast and dinner are included, and there's a hot spring bath. It's in a great location in the hot spring town, and the service is good. Highly recommended. The only downside is that there...

The staff is very enthusiastic. The garden and the room are well maintained. The room is relatively large, fully equipped, and the breakfast and dinner are very good. Since it is May, which is not the cherry blossom season, it is relatively cheap and worth staying again. There are open-air hot springs, which can be used for a long time.

The kaiseki cuisine is delicious. The boss lady's smile is very comfortable. The room is also very good. The staff is very timely and in place. There will be apple snacks and tea when you check in. The hot spring is also very comfortable. Great!

This onsen hotel is very traditional, that’s what we wanted. The service is excellent and warm. Dinner and breakfast are really with regional ingredients.

Good place to recharge in between trips

A great hot spring hotel with one night and two meals. The service is great. The Kaiseki dinner and breakfast are delicious and tasty. I definitely recommend it! The room is very spacious and the private bath gives you the freedom to bathe whenever you want. It's great!

The room was super big love the private bath, the hotel staff was very nice. Both meals were awesome.

Almost everything was in tip top condition including our requests for a vegetarian dunner and breakfast for one of our friends. Perhaps a hostess more fluent in english would have been helpful but anyway she was most gracious, attentive and courteous. The amenities, food and service were really great!

Very very satisfied, the autumn scenery is beautiful, and the open-air hot spring in the room is amazing. Breakfast and dinner are super rich. Because of my eating habits, the hotel helped to modify the menu. Thank you very much! It is recommended to inform the hotel in advance when booking. The hotel can only be contacted by phone, which is a little inconvenient, but I still successfully booked the...

Very good service with lots of entertainment options. Staff are friendly and the onsen is good.

Very nice and quiet, the onsen was so good with very peaceful scenes. The food and services were up to standard as expected.

The quality of the service was excellent. I was also surprised that they provided a shuttle service to the nearby station and even took me to Komatsu Airport. I felt bad that I was there alone. The pancakes were delicious, and the food and bath were both great. I would definitely like to come back in the fall when the leaves change color.

It's a great hotel with good facilities and delicious food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd love to go back.

A nice journey of relaxation, the hot spring and meals are great.

A nice journey of relaxation, the hot spring and meals are great.

My parents loved it. I'd love to go again if I get the chance. The staff are incredibly friendly.

The environment was great, the food was delicious, and everything was perfect. It was also a great way to enjoy the outdoor family hot springs with your partner or spouse. If the weather is nice in the evening, you can even see the stars.

The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. It's the best place for a quiet rest.

Nice Onsen hotel. Friendly and helpful staffs , nice foods.

The scenery in the mountains is unique!

The ryokan is not up to the expectation as what google review or trip.com ratings. Suite is quite old and smelly. Onsen area have cob webs. The family onsen is not like ig picture standard with lots of insects and a gecko. Food nevertheless is ok.

We spent one night here with our family of four. It's a little out of the way, we used only public transportation but made it out ok. We chose this particular ryokan because of its authentic feel and we did not get disappointed. A fair amount of staff spoke English with us, which we really appreciated! We arrived just in time for dinner, which was super traditional, very good! When we got back to our...

Located next to the river with an outdoor onsen that you can listen to the roar of the river. Breakfast and dinner are exquisitely presented. With new rice cooked over a slow fire in front of you. The price performance is exceptional. Hana no Yado is one of those small family owned Ryokan that still are the dreams of a Ryokan holiday. From the greeting at the door when we drove up. To the sweets offered...

I think to some wanting to stay in Nikko might not realize that this is outside of the main town center but it’s so worth the extra train ride to go to this hotel/onsen after visiting the Nikko national park area. As other reviews stated there is the train station kinugawa koen you can take that is like a 2-5 min walk. We stayed in the room with futon and the style of the room was so traditional Japanese...

Beautiful Japanese style hotel. Staff were great,very helpful and friendly. Food was excellent. Onsen so relaxing snd beautiful. Place was perfect with river and mountain view. If you want to get away from it all and just relax,this is the spot Highly recommend this place and will surely return in the autumn

Nice local onsen hotel! It’s pretty Japan style. It’s not brand new, more over it is old. But they kept the condition and cleanness very well. Hotel stuff don’t speak English well but their politeness and friendly attitude make it no barrier.

If you're looking for a warm, traditional ryokan experience this is it! Exceptional hospitality started before we entered the building. We got a package deal for the night which included dinner and breakfast. Both meals were absolutely exquisite. Every dish was rich with flavour and prepared beautifully and promptly. The onsen is nestled with an evergreen canopy, looking out onto the river as is rushes...

The location is not far from Kagoshima chuo station.Many restaurant in walking distance.

It's quite good, perfect for one person, and it has a separate wet and dry area, perfect for smoking. Although there are some stains, I like the style. Those who don't like it will be charged a fee. The service is good, but you need to leave your key at the front desk before leaving. It's close to Central Station.

The hotel's exterior, interior, and rooms were all well-appointed and had a noble feel to them. It was an extremely comfortable night. Thank you very much.

Very good, handsome, nice and cheap, I recommend it as always. Greetings.

It was so relaxing that I felt like I had traveled back in time.

Retro style, although a bit old, but not broken, very well maintained, ten minutes walk from the station, the alley is very quiet, better than the express hotel next to the station.

This time to Atami to see the fireworks festival, because two months ago decided the trip, so the hotel has very few options, this hotel is very far from Atami Station, if you have to walk almost 20 minutes, the middle of the road is also uphill, and in the morning only two shuttle bus to the station

Staying on the day of the fireworks festival was a poor value. For over 4,000 yen per night, I was given a room on a lower floor with no view of the fireworks. The set meals were replaced with a buffet, and the facilities and food felt like a typical hot springs inn, completely lacking the refined feel of the photos. We watched the fireworks from the hotel's rooftop. Reviews and maps suggest the hotel...

In addition to the excellent location for watching the fireworks, the facilities are old, and the bathroom is particularly awkward. The side door of the sink cannot be opened when the toilet door is opened. We booked a one-night stay with two meals, and the other facilities, hygiene, services, and food are average. If you want to watch the fireworks, you can stay in other better hotels. It is not recommended...

An ordinary hot spring hotel, far from the JR station and requires a bus ride. The advantage is the price.

Facilities: The hotel is a bit old but the hygiene is acceptable I just came here to watch the fireworks. The location is quite good You can see the fireworks from the balcony and don’t have to worry about the crowds after the fireworks are over You need to go to the restaurant to eat the evening banquet at the hotel. It is very exquisite

The location of the hotel is very good! It's a 5-minute walk to the ferry terminal, which is very convenient for a round-trip day trip to Hatsujima. The hot spring ♨️ is quite satisfactory, and the overall internal facilities are old, especially the toilet flushing, rumbling. But! The accommodation includes breakfast and dinner, which is really great. The dinners for three days are different, with...

Wonderful place. Greeted as we drove up, valet parking. Room was so nice and clean. Everybody was amazing and it was all perfect.

The food and bath were perfect, but the water in the bathroom in my room didn't drain well, so the front desk staff fixed it first. They dealt with it right away, but I wish they had checked beforehand. It was a very unpleasant experience. Also, I got a cheap plan, so it can't be helped, but there was noticeable black mold on the bathroom floor, and the mat in front of the toilet was noticeably frayed...

While the building's exterior exudes a sense of history, the interior has been renovated. Upon arrival, several staff members helped us with everything from car transfers to luggage handling. They were so enthusiastic and provided full service that we were almost in awe. We stayed in a Type C room with a semi-open-air bath, which was very modern and clean. We had learned in advance that Type C was...

The food and hot springs were very good. Thank you very much.

This was my first visit in four years. I stayed with the in-room dining plan. The room had been renovated the last time, but this time I was surprised to see that the baths had been renovated! A very nice sauna had been installed in the large baths on both the first and third floors, and there was even a relaxation space next to the cold bath. I was very satisfied with the food, the baths, and the...

I booked a room with an open-air bath and requested a shuttle from Kaga Onsen Station. Once I got off the station, there was a roof over my shoulder all the way to the shuttle bus stop, so I didn't need an umbrella. The open-air bath in the room was a very relaxing hot spring. The portions were large, but the simmered head of fish was well-seasoned, and my children ate everything. I also used the large...

Enjoyed the onsen and room is spacious. Woke up to a grand view of Mount Yufu, which was a big bonus.

convenient,great service and nice buffet. Thw family suite is good enough and onsen is good !!

The hotel offered good amenities and well-maintained facilities. The service provided by the staff was excellent—friendly, helpful, and responsive. We also really enjoyed the beautiful view, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel has a great location, and the staff are very friendly. When I reported insects in my room, the staff responded quickly and helped resolve the issue – excellent! The restaurant offers buffet breakfast and dinner; the food is good, and there's a wide selection of drinks.

Located a convenient 10 minute walk from Yufuin station, Sansuikan is a great option if you're looking to treat yourself for a night. There are free flow snacks and drinks (including alcohol) in the lobby, and the dinner and breakfast are all-you-can-eat buffet style, also with free flow drinks. There are two onsens, M/F on the 1st/2nd floor and they swap service twice daily. Both floors have outdoor...

Conveniently located near the train station. The dinner buffet is excellent but the breakfast is just so so.

This hotel truly deserves its five-star rating. It's excellent. Although it's a bit far from the station, they offer a shuttle service, which is great.

The rooms are clean and the hot spring facilities are varied. The staff were friendly and helpful, even recommending nearby restaurants. You can also use the sister hot spring, Ruriko.

I really loved this hotel; unfortunately, I only stayed one night, but it was totally worth it! I'd love to come back again.

The room was clean, but it was a shame there wasn't a dinner-inclusive plan for solo travelers (or maybe I just couldn't find one?). Generally, I think the service is good, but I did notice some of the staff (waitresses?) chatting in the entrance while waiting for guests. I thought it might be better for them to wait in the back-of-house instead.

Traveling solo, I splurged on a Japanese-style room that could probably fit four people. It's an older ryokan, but that didn't really detract from the experience. The only thing was that during the off-season, the in-house restaurant for dinner was closed, so I had to buy food from a convenience store and bring it back. Regarding the service, the shuttle driver was incredibly diligent and responsible...

This is a traditional Japanese hotel with an excellent location and good service. The public bath is open 24 hours, and the rooms are large and comfortable, though the facilities are a bit dated. Overall, it offers great value for money. The WiFi doesn't reach all rooms, and there's no signal at all on the fourth floor, which needs improvement.

The environment is so relaxing and comfortable!

The service was incredibly attentive and thoughtful!

The atmosphere among all the employees is very good. Also, the food was very delicious. Considering that this kind of meal includes two meals, I thought this pricing was really cheap. thank you. I was also surprised that the young proprietress went out of her way to meet ordinary guests. It was so hot here that I was afraid to see them off. I don't know about the previous facility, so I can't say anything...

I stayed on the second floor of Mizuno Hoshi on a perfect day for cherry blossom viewing. It's a suite of nearly 100 square meters, with an indoor bath and a large semi-open-air stone bath, and the dining area is about the size of a small conference room. The view is from the second floor, so you can't see far away, focusing on Ikuura Bay and the fishing port. The facilities are perfect, including...

Beautiful rooms, renovated recently. Our room had a bath with Onsen water directly in the bathroom. Every staff member we encounter was fantastic.

comfort and nice room, elegant set up minibar, relax hot spring and good food
