"The food was very good. The open-air bath was also lovely."

"This hotel, a fusion of traditional Japanese style and garden design, boasts stunningly beautiful dining areas and landscaped gardens. It's conveniently located just minutes' walk from the Akizuki Castle Ruins. The hotel offers private parking, so you don't have to squeeze with other guests during peak season. The staff all speak basic English, so communication was no problem. Our butler, Mr. Sakurai, was incredibly attentive and warm – a perfect 100! We were all very reluctant to leave him. The only issue was that our room type seemed to lack privacy; we had to go through a foyer to reach the bathroom and shower, even though the bottom of the foyer glass was transparent. There wasn't much space near the sink for personal toiletries, which was a minor inconvenience. There were also quite a few flying insects in the garden, which could be improved. Overall, however, it was the best hotel choice near the Akizuki Castle Ruins during our trip, and I highly recommend it!"

"Female employees share facilities with guests in the female-only bathhouse."

"Not bad cleanliness and friendliness"

"I booked this accommodation on this platform because it was marked as 'family-friendly,' 'child-friendly,' and 'suitable for young children.' However, as you can see in the photo, the smoking area with ashtrays is located right next to the main entrance. The host was constantly smoking there even when our young children were passing by, making it very difficult for them to breathe. They were reluctant to walk past, so we had to wait quite a while before going back and forth. The host was very kind. However, given that we witnessed the host smoking several times right in front of our children, I do not think they had considered removing the smoking area near the entrance. It was a stay where we had to be very mindful of many things. We had hoped to avoid contacting or speaking with the host, and although we are quiet and introverted guests, we ended up having to engage in too much unnecessary communication. There were many other inconveniences besides the smoking incident, but since the host was 'kind,' I will stop talking about the rest. This is recommended for those with an extroverted personality who wish to stay while maintaining frequent contact and communication with the host. Thank you."

"Very cozy hotel, clean room, polite staff. Delicious dinners and breakfasts."

"The staff were very polite and attentive, from greeting guests to providing excellent service. The hot springs and bathhouse were very clean, and I enjoyed a refreshing bath the next morning. The breakfast had a wide variety of options, and overall I was very satisfied."

"This was the perfect place to experience the tranquil atmosphere of Japan. Three generations stayed together, and having three rooms was great. The courtyard and view were also fantastic."

"We booked two rooms for our large family. Although the room types were different, we were very grateful that they were placed close together. The attention to detail was excellent, the view was wonderful, and the kaiseki cuisine was delicious. We were very satisfied. My elderly parents seemed happy, and I would like to bring them here again if we have the opportunity."
