Following our stay last autumn, we once again received the very best hospitality this time. The requested dishes were also exquisite. Since COVID, we’ve stayed here several times a year, and each visit I’m amazed at how much the owner’s wife’s cooking keeps improving. It was so impressive I almost wanted to say, “Please call the chef!” The meals—made with care to bring out the best in the ingredients, with special attention to dashi and plenty of time—are truly perfect for someone like me who values additive-free food. I was also happy to enjoy my favorite kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) sashimi. This time, because of work, it was still too early for cherry blossoms and they were only buds, but we had two wonderful days of relaxation at Respaito. Thank you as always! I think we’ll be able to visit again before summer, and we’re looking forward to seeing you both.

Not only was the Room wonderful, but the host was truly kind. Even though I contacted them just two days in advance to plan a surprise celebration for my companion, they prepared a message plate and even decorated the Room for us. I’d love to stay again.

This was my third visit yesterday. The Onsen is wonderfully gentle on the skin and absolutely satisfying, but the meals and wine at the restaurant were, as always, outstanding. There were many dishes you can’t experience elsewhere—like lightly searing fish stuffed with olives yourself right at the table. With freshly baked bread, it was hard not to keep enjoying more wine. An Accommodation where you can savor such delicious cuisine with your dog and also fully enjoy the Onsen—I’d love to stay again. Thank you for your continued hospitality.

After completely falling in love with Felice Villa Suite in Ueno,, I became curious about other areas as well,, so this time I stayed at Nagahama Bay. Both Uenoand Nagahama have their own charms,,andI foundit hardto choose between them.

I made a Reservation because I was drawn to the rare location of a Hotel set deep in the Yanbaru forest, and I was truly amazed by the extraordinary atmosphere—it hardly felt like Japan. On the day of our stay, we arrived much later than our dinner Reservation time due to traffic and caused inconvenience, but we were warmly welcomed with a welcome drink. When we entered the Room, we were surprised at how impeccably clean it was, and even the amenities and fixtures looked almost unused. The toiletries were luxurious—Guerlain for shampoo and other bath items, Mikimoto for skincare—and the hair dryer was a ReFa. They also had everything you could hope for when traveling with children: a child toilet seat and step stool, as well as a diaper pail and diaper bags. We really appreciated it. Not only was the selection excellent, but the staff’s service—polite yet never stiff—was truly comfortable. We stayed here for sightseeing in Okinawa, but this Hotel stay became our best memory.

It was a wonderful villa. Mount Fuji was right in front of us, and we could see it clearly thanks to the great weather! The meals were all delicious, and we were very satisfied! We brought our dog along, and they had so much fun playing around. We would love to stay here again. Thank you very much!

We stayed here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. First, we truly appreciated the kind pickup from Aizuwakamatsu Station. On top of that, you guided us to some well-known local sights and even stopped by the most famous one, Tsuruga Castle. It was our first time in Fukushima and we didn’t know much about the sightseeing spots, but thanks to all your helpful information, it made us want to come back and explore Fukushima more slowly next time. After arriving at the Accommodation, we were served matcha in a separate annex from the main residence, and you also showed us a beautiful Japanese garden. We were told it looks different with spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage as well, so we’d love to visit again in another season. When we entered the main residence, you showed us classic antiques and a Room that used to be run as a traditional restaurant. It really built up our excitement about what our Room would be like. Since it was located underground, we assumed we might not be able to enjoy any outside views—but the moment we opened the door, there was an incredibly spacious and beautiful modern Japanese-style Room beyond anything we imagined. With unlimited drinks available and plenty of beverages stocked in the refrigerator, we were already thrilled. To our surprise, there was a river flowing just outside the window. The balcony was stylish and spotless, and there was even an elegant fireplace—everything was wonderful. The bath let us fully enjoy Higashiyama Onsen (Onsen), and it even came with a sauna; it was perfect. Dinner featured their most famous basashi (horse sashimi), along with Fukushima’s local dish kozuyu, tempura manju buns, sakura nabe (horse hot pot), celebratory dishes for special occasions, and more—an abundant meal with great variety. The basashi in particular was overwhelmingly delicious—better than anything I’ve ever had—and honestly made us want to come back just for that alone. Since it was my wife’s birthday trip, you also surprised us by preparing a birthday cake. Your hospitality went above and beyond—we were truly moved. Thank you very much. Breakfast was also excellent: Koshihikari rice cooked in a traditional hagama pot along with many side dishes such as salmon, rolled omelet (tamagoyaki), sea bream carpaccio (tai), eel (unagi), and more. There were so many options that everything tasted so good I ended up having multiple refills of rice. Checkout time felt far too soon—we’re sincerely grateful for such an Accommodation where you simply want to stay forever. You also drove us back to Aizuwakamatsu Station on departure day; it really was attentive service from start to finish. We will definitely return in another season. Thank you again for everything.

This is our third stay. Because it’s a whole-house rental, we can relax without worrying about others, and it has become our favorite Accommodation. The water dispenser, ice maker, well-stocked amenities, spacious bath, and comfortable beds for a great night’s sleep… we truly feel we’ve found a wonderful Accommodation. Misaki Port is also a favorite spot for us as a couple. We stay at Irifune and enjoy looking for new places to eat each time. We would love to stay again.

Thank you very much for your kind hospitality the other day. We were blessed with wonderful weather, and our stay in Amakusa was truly a happy one from the bottom of our hearts. The lovely Room, the magnificent views, the skin-beautifying hot spring, the flavorful cuisine that was also a delight to the eyes, and the tableware by local artists that enhanced each dish. We were also deeply impressed by the fluffy towels and the warm, attentive care from your staff throughout our stay. It was a memorable and wonderful Accommodation that made us want to return again. Thank you again very much for everything.

We had a great time relaxing in the sauna and the open-air bath with a jacuzzi! We took the train from Tokyo to stay at UMICHA, and enjoyed the 30-minute walk from Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station to UMICHA while taking in the rural scenery and picking up supplies—it went by in no time, and it was an experience you can’t usually have even within the greater Tokyo area. In the evening, we unwound with a BBQ and sauna, which washed away all our everyday fatigue. We’d love to stay again if we have the chance!

This was my first stay, and the Accommodation exceeded my expectations. Every dish was delicious, and you could really tell how carefully everything was prepared. The view from the Room was wonderful—the sparkling beauty of Toyama Bay, the majestic Tateyama Mountain Range, and the awe-inspiring sunrise truly moved me. The Room was clean and tastefully designed, and I was able to relax and unwind. This is an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again.

We were warmly welcomed by the wonderful owner couple. Our dog can be a bit timid and often hesitates at regular dog parks, but here they had a very large dog run all to themselves and happily ran around and played. The interior was beautifully coordinated in lovely colors, and our whole family was able to relax and enjoy our meals at a leisurely pace. There were also Facilities nearby that we could use with our dog, making it a convenient location for sightseeing as well. This time we made a Reservation without meals, and since we planned to buy local vegetables and cook them ourselves, we stopped by a shop before arriving at the Hotel, but there wasn’t much available, which was disappointing. However, the next morning the owner kindly showed us a nearby farmers’ market where we were happy to buy plenty of items including unusual vegetables as well as fruit. After returning home, we gathered around the table with vegetables as the main dishes and enjoyed them—they were very fresh and delicious. Thank you so much to the owner couple for their warm hospitality and for taking such great care of us.

We stayed for a multiple night stay with our senior dog. Being right in front of the ocean, you can enjoy the view of the sea from the second-floor room or while soaking in the bath. Above all, the room was completely odor-free and impeccably clean. Having stayed at numerous accommodations ranging from budget-friendly to luxurious ones with our dog, I can confidently say this place ranks top in cleanliness. Even though it’s not a newly built accommodation, maintaining such cleanliness must require tremendous effort, and we are truly grateful for that. Although it rained during most of our stay, it cleared up on the last day, allowing us to take a walk with our dog by the ocean before checking out. The Minami-Boso area has places where you can dine with your dog, and since we could also order delivery at this accommodation, we would love to visit again!

We stayed here to celebrate a birthday!! The birthday decorations were set up, and the towel swans were beautifully arranged—so lovely!! The staff were professional, very kind, and wonderful!!! With a jacuzzi and a pool, we could truly relax, and we will definitely come back again!! Thank you so much!!!

Our family of five plus one dog stayed here. From the moment we arrived and opened the Accommodation door, our family couldn’t stop exclaiming in amazement! The indoor setting and amenities, the BBQ area, thoughtfully designed bedrooms based on a clear concept, a huge garden with a pool and sauna, a giant trampoline and well-equipped playground gear, electric scooters and a tandem bicycle—honestly, one night wasn’t enough. There was more than we could possibly finish: craft beer, cup noodles, snacks, coffee and tea bags, plenty of mineral water—everything was perfectly prepared with guests in mind. Next time, we’d love to come back during pool season with relatives and friends. It turned into the best family trip!

The Room size, facilities and amenities, cleanliness, and the breathtaking ocean view are all flawless. I think it offers far better value for money than staying at a nearby Resort Hotel. However, you may be a bit confused if you arrive expecting a typical Hotel. There is no front desk or management office; instead, it’s an Airbnb-style setup where you enter the PIN sent to you after completing pre-registration. In my case, the registration email ended up in my spam folder, so I didn’t know what to do on site and only figured it out after calling the emergency contact number. I tried to upload the required ID documents for verification, but the connection was poor and it was difficult; in the end, I had to get the PIN by phone in quite a rush. If you complete pre-registration in advance, check-in should be smooth, and from the second stay onward there likely won’t be any issues—but it would be helpful if IKYU clearly noted these differences from a standard Hotel in the Facility description as well. Please also note that there is no elevator. In addition, the entrance floor is made of stepping stones with water around them. It may look stylish, but if you drop your phone or anything similar it’s game over, and it’s inconvenient when carrying heavy luggage—so there seems to be room for improvement.

We stayed here on the final day of a 3-night, 4-day long-distance road trip from Fukuoka through Hiroshima, Shimane, and Yamaguchi. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s thoughtful, guest-focused hospitality made us feel warmly welcomed and truly comfortable. The Room we were shown was very spacious, and everything—from the bed to each amenity—was high quality, leaving us extremely satisfied. That day, the view from the balcony was breathtaking, and soaking in the open-air bath while looking at cherry blossoms in full bloom soothed our fatigue from the long drive. This is a place we would definitely love to stay at again—Bettei Otozure!

I’m always completely satisfied whenever I visit. The cuisine is outstanding and makes me want to come back. The seasonal French dishes were absolutely delicious. The butler’s attentive service was also flawless. Thank you for all your thoughtful care. I was truly moved by the birthday music and cake. I’ll be back again, and I look forward to my next stay.

When we visited last February, during a truly cold season, we stayed with the steak-centered course. Of course the Izu beef steak was delicious, but the shrimp main dish other guests were having looked unbelievably good—so this time we chose the standard course, a full seafood course. I uploaded some photos here, and in any case, every single dish is genuinely delicious. The mehikari fritto that I thought was the standout last time was on the menu again and was wonderful once more—but everything else was also outstanding. My family member, who nods along while eating and blurts out “So good” whenever something is delicious, seemed very busy throughout the meal (laugh). This time’s main dish—pan-seared Suruga Bay langoustine—came with a shrimp-based sauce that concentrated all of its flavor. The sautéed grouper (kue), rich with fat, had thick flesh cooked fluffy and tender, and it paired beautifully with a clam sauce. It was my first time trying an squid called Jindo-ika, and its deep flavor and tenderness were truly exceptional. We were also amazed by French white asparagus like we’d never had before; served with rapeseed blossoms as well, it felt like enjoying spring in both Europe and Japan at once. And what surprised us most was the new-onion bavarois topped with Ossetra caviar consommé jelly. Until now I’d thought this kind of dish peaked at carrot mousse topped with sea urchin jelly—but this surpassed that by far, in the best possible way. Dinner dessert was crème brûlée. I usually don’t care for it because it tends to be sweet and heavy, but paired with strawberry sorbet—and served alongside strawberry soup generously filled with strawberries—it felt light even though we were already full, and it was absolutely delicious. Breakfast was excellent across the board as well. The heaping basket of bread tasted so good it might even beat specialty bakeries—and being able to take some home as a souvenir made us very happy. Last time we learned there is only one Onsen bath shared among guests. This time we brought bath bombs planning to enjoy bathing in our Room’s unit bath too—and since we managed three baths (before dinner, after dinner, and before breakfast), we were completely satisfied. I’ve heard that an auberge originally began as a restaurant offering an Accommodation so guests could enjoy great food and wine without having to drive home. With that in mind, having an Onsen at all is wonderful—but above all else, this feels like a place made for savoring treasures from the sea.

I wasn’t sure how to plan my first visit to Yakushima, but thanks to the advice I received in advance, it became a meaningful 3-day, 2-night trip. The Hotel is just the right size, and the staff’s attentiveness was exceptional—everything I saw throughout my stay felt pleasant and comfortable. Being able to enjoy an Onsen on the island and the breathtaking view from my Room—one you could watch forever without getting tired of it—made it even more special. The only regret is that there were so many dining options that I couldn’t try them all. I stayed solo this time, but I believe this is a valuable Accommodation where everyone—from solo travelers to three-generation family trips—can spend time comfortably. Thank you so much to all the staff.
