A Memorable Experience

Posted 9 Dec 2023 on Hotels
This ryokan is in a beautiful location. Mr. Toshi went above and beyond to provide us excellent hospitality, a meal, and even showed us around Shiobara region and drove us to our bus stop. He was so helpful and caring to my family. The food, onsen, and rooms are wonderful.

It was wonderful to have you stay with us. On that particular day, I had a bit of time to show you around and we are glad that you enjoyed Shiobara. Shiobara onsen has over 1200 years of histories and many people praised it for hot springs and the natural beauty. Hope you would visit us again.

Very beautiful location during autumn with a mountain view and waterfall. Was surprised to see many animals and staff were very casual/friendly. The hot springs was very simple and not good as expected.

Thank you for your stay and comments. Thank you for your note about location and waterfall. Our lodge is not large one so that we basically have hinoki wood indoor bath and one outdoor bath, one each for men and women. In big hotels, one may encunter many different kinds of onsen bathing areas so that more exciting. However, in terms of soaking 100 % natural onsen, we are good because large faicilities are often forced use chlorine because given amount of onsen water, many people bath. However, in small facilities like us, we use 100% onsen water and the amount of onsen allow us not use chlorine most of time. For me, it is a bit dissapoing to fee a tiny bit of chlorine odor after one soak in onsen. Well, in all cases thank you for your stay and comments.

An amazing time there. Wish the weather was better, but the onsen there was nice. Super simple check in and friendly staff. Clean room, clean robes, overall great stay.

It is very nice to receive such a comment. True, the weather was not great! But if you enjoyed a stay here, it our great pleasure. In the past, I traveled all over the world, and I always enjoyed small establishments, neatly run, cozy, and where the efforts of owners are seen. We try the best we could toward that direction. Thanks again for your stay with us.

Great place, very comfortable, privileged location in a quiet and scenic corner of the hot spring resort town. The outdoor hot spring bath has a great view. Owners are very friendly and helpful, they know the area well.

We enjoyed having you! It was so bad that you had to run quickly. We try to be close to the nature, quiet and relaxing place. Hope you would visit us again,
