Guest Reviews
- martin (10/5): - Sehr coole Location, der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und das Haus ist wirklich schön gemacht 😊👍
- Hikaru (9/5): -
- Chaiwat (10/5): -
- Hiromi (9/5): ペットにもヒトにも優しい宿です。 - カヤックを持参しての利用でしたが、利用できるポイントなどを丁寧に教えて頂き、とても助かりました。
また、食事は朝、夕食ともとても美味しく頂きました。
ペットと一緒に泊まれる宿は選択肢が限られますが、こちらはお部屋は清潔で必要最低限のものがコンパクトに整っています。何気にウンチ用ゴミ箱が玄関先にあったり、グッズ(ペットシートやオムツ、雑巾など)が玄関に置かれているのが重くなくペット連れへの配慮を感じました。 お風呂利用の仕組み(札を取って利用)を理解していない宿泊客が居て、お風呂が空いているいるにもかかわらず、空室である事が分からなかった。利用客側の問題だが、お風呂は2つあるので、単純に男湯と女湯に分けてある方が使い勝手はいいように感じました。
ペット連れが大半を占めると思われますが、ダイニングでのマナーは飼い主に守って欲しいと思いました。一応、ファイルにはダイニングには犬は同伴不可となっていましたが、読んでいないのか連れてくる飼い主がいて、テーブルの下で伏せしてるのならOKだと思いますが、抱っこしながらご飯を食べるのはやはりNGだと思いました。飼い主のマナーの問題ですが、ワンチャンOKの宿が増えるためにも飼い主のマナー向上が必要だと思いました。
- KAYO (10/5): -
- Raff (9/5): Fantastic - Onsen was lovely and allowed private use. The staff were amazingly helpful and generous Shared toilet could be a problem when busy but there wasn’t many other guests when I stayed so no issues
- AKIKO (8/5): -
- Katrina (9/5): - The gentleman was very friendly
- 鈴奈 (7/5): -
- Kondou (8/5): 最高の旅になりました、また機会があれば利用してみたい - お風呂が大きくて暖まりました♪ 部屋のドアの建て付けが悪くて、開け閉めの際に結構力使わないといけなかったかな。トイレが部屋になかったので、共用となっていたのが少し気を使った🤏
- yoshino (8/5): - ご飯とても美味しかったです!
- HIDEYUKI (1/5): 二度と無い - ベッドルームは広かった。 酔ってる連れに喧嘩口調で絡んできた店主。
全員が気分を害した。
- Berto (10/5): Warm, cozy, friendly place. Close to Lake Hibara and close to surrounding skiing areas. - Located close to Lake Hibara and within 10-15min of drive to the Nekoma and Grandeco ski resorts and a slightly longer 20-25min drive to Inawashiro, the lake and ski resort. Very welcoming and friendly owner - and his curious Riesenschnautzer! Shared family bath and very cozy wooden rooms! Nothing to dislike at all.
- 紫苑さん (9/5): - 五色沼を中心に裏磐梯の写真撮影に来た為、ロケーションの点で最高でした。館内は清潔で綺麗に維持されており、気持ちよく過すことができました。また、撮影ロケーションを伺った際も相談に乗って頂き助かりました。再度、裏磐梯に来た際には泊まろうと思います。
- Chih-Han (9/5): -
- Derren (9/5): - A very typical Japanese Minshuku(Homestay).
I was there during winter season for skiing, the location is great with short drive to Nekoma and Grandeco
The owner is very friendly
House is clean and comfortable.
The onsen pool in bathroom is better than expected!
You can also order breakfast and dinner which is very well cooked and worth the price! Just like most of the traditional Japanese house, soundproof is not good
- Hu Chih Chieh (10/5): -
- Søren (8/5): -
- Fionn (8/5): - Great onsen, comfy place. Only stayed for one night, arrived late, left early.
- Tharinee (8/5): -
- Ailsa (10/5): Warm, cosy and friendly accommodation. - The beds were so comfortable! Location was great for accessing multiple mountains. The building is warm and welcoming and our host was so kind. We loved being able to pat his dog because we were missing our dogs! Nothing, we loved it all.
- yuki (10/5): ベリーグッド!(ベリーちゃんだけに) - 七人と一匹、一泊で利用させてもらいました。
気さくなオーナーさんで部屋の作りがよく、細かいところに配慮があり、清潔感もあり、クチコミを見て選びましたが、想像以上に素敵な宿でした。
食事も最高に美味しくて、どれもこれも食べてて幸せな気持ちになりました。
お風呂も広くて、看板犬のベリーちゃんも可愛くて、本当に癒される旅になりました。
また絶対にリピートしたいです! ありません。
- Chitose (10/5): - 館内全体に温かい雰囲気で満たされていました。オーナー様のお人柄の良さが滲み出ていました。愛犬ベリーちゃんがとても穏やかで可愛かったです。
- Jean (10/5): -
- Ka (10/5): 最高です - お風呂がすごく気持ちいいです。
マスターもすごく優しいです。
- Akihiro (7/5): 快適に過ごせました - 家族風呂が利用できます。 空調がつけっぱなしで空気乾燥、音が気になりました。
- Hisatsune (9/5): - 大型犬と一緒に泊まりました。
オーナーもとても優しく素敵な方でした。
清潔に保たれていて心地よく過ごせました。 1階にありましたが、お部屋か、2階にもポットがあったらいいなぁと思います。
- 昌成 (9/5): -
- Haruyuki (10/5): -
- A_HCC (10/5): 遠離塵囂,享受自然 - 即便語言不通,老闆仍然非常親切。
離市區有點距離,但以開車來說相當便利,路口就有便利商店,也有幾間餐廳。周邊環境非常清幽,很適合想要遠離塵囂、親近大自然的人。離附近的大型滑雪場也相當近,開車15~20分中內即可抵達。 無
- Guest (10/5): 泊まれてよかった - スタッフの方が親切で素敵な人
施設が清潔
犬がかわいい
値段が安い
- xie (10/5): -
- Nani (9/5): アットホームで和みます。 - オーナー様や看板犬のベリーちゃん、とても親切にご対応して頂きました。
お食事も美味しく、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。 🦮同伴者でしたので、夜間に吠えたらと心配しましたが、ペンションあるあるの周りのお客様へ🦮の吠える声に多少注意が必要なのは、飼い主として仕方ない心配要素だと思います。
なので、部屋の音漏れはある程度、注意が必要です。
- Emiko (6/5): -
- Yusuke (10/5): 紅葉のシーズンにもおすすめ!翌週から雪降ったので、スタッドレスがあったほうがいいです! - 夏に引き続き、秋にも宿泊させていただきました。五色沼の紅葉を楽しみつつ、宿ではワンちゃんとの触れ合いもさせていただきました。また行きたいです。
- Antonin (10/5): - C'était la deuxième fois que nous voyagions ici, cette fois avec toute ma famille et ma femme. Comme la dernière fois, nous n'avons pas été déçus : propriétaire extrêmement gentil et attentionné, cuisine délicieuse, bain petit mais spacieux, emplacement calme et dans un endroit parfait pour faire des tonnes de balades.
- Jules (9/5): Un chalet très confortable - Extrêmement confortable. Très propre. Bain très agréable et chaleureux. Un hôte très sympathique. Pour un rapport qualité-prix excellent et un bon emplacement pour visiter les marécages.
- Fiona (9/5): Great place to stay in Urabandai! - Fantastic hot spring in the hotel! Friendly staff. Ski-chalet ambiance, lots of pine wood. Short drive from ski lift (had to hitch a lift as didn't have a car, and no bus) - marvellous autumn leaves in November! Walking distance from the famous Lakes walk, again beautiful colours.
Spacious quiet room. Very cold the first night, but the heating wasn't working - the owner got it to work on the second night. Would recommend bringing a hot water bottle in winter!
- Taric (7/5): - Beautiful area No dinner options in the area
- Jim (9/5): - Very welcoming. The meals were excellent the owner takes a lot of care with his meal presentation.
- Sandra (9/5): -
- NOBORU (5/5): -
- Masahiro (8/5): - コストパフォーマンスが高い
- 拓馬森 (8/5): ゆっくり過ごせました。 - 雰囲気が良くゆっくりできた。料理も美味しかった。宿の主人も優しい方で親切にして頂きました。素敵な時をありがとうございます。 特になし
- Yamada (8/5): -
- さやか (8/5): お値段以上の充実したお宿でした。 - 個室にWi-Fiや、USBコンセントが完備されて便利でした。
歯ブラシとタオルが用意されていました。
共用スペースに電子レンジ、冷蔵庫、電気ポットがありました。
共用の洗面台にドライヤーがありました。
大型犬2匹と一緒に泊まるのに十分な部屋の広さでした。
玄関の外に犬の排泄物を捨てる場所が用意してあり助かりました。
他の部屋の音が気になりませんでした。 オーナーさんが忙しそうなので
テレビの視聴について、入浴時間とカギの利用について、食事の時間について、冷蔵庫などの利用についてなど、基本的な情報を記載した印刷物が部屋に欲しかったです。
- yumi (10/5): また来たいです - 夕食、朝食、温泉、清潔、かわいいわんこ 特に無し
- 善永 (8/5): オーナーの人柄が良い。 - 清潔で細かいところまで便利に使用できる様になっている。 ベッドが柔らか過ぎた。受付に改善店あり。
- kihara (7/5): のんびりゆっくり出来ました。 - 適度な距離感で居心地良かった。
お風呂が広くのんびりゆっくり入れました。 階段の自動照明の点灯が遅い。
- Akihito (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): -
- SHIRA (10/5): - Wonderful beautiful place. Very kind host, trylu a lovely stay.
- Takaki (10/5): - 全てが最高🙆 無し
- Suzuki (9/5): とても良かったです。 - 犬二匹と家族4人で二部屋でリラックスして宿泊できました。
朝食もとても美味しく、ご主人の入れてくれたコーヒーでとてもリラックスできました。
- マスダ (9/5): -
- 満紀子 (8/5): ただいまと帰って来れる宿 - 大きめの浴槽に夫婦でゆっくり入れた。
山小屋風の部屋で落ち着くのでいつもよりゆっくり出来て、何よりオーナーの人柄が良いので常連さんも気さくないい夫婦で、ついつい話しながら楽しいお酒を呑んでしまいました♪
食事もとても美味しかったです。
また会いに行きたいと思っています。 特にないです。
- Hidetaka (10/5): また泊まりたい、アットホームで特別な宿 - 気さくなオーナー、賢く落ち着いた犬のベリーちゃん、露天風呂は貸切でゆったり家族で楽しめてとても快適でした。素泊まりでしたが、ダイニングはお洒落な音楽がかかり、とても良い雰囲気でした。 良くなかった点は個人的にありませんが、ワンちゃんと宿泊できるので、隣室から吠える声が聞こえたりして、浅い眠りの方は起きてしまう場合もあるかもしれません。
- Kai (9/5): Superb -
- Emeline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Benoit (9/5): Superb - Very nice and simple place in a great location. The owner is very kind .
The onsen was great too. From my point of view, the bed was a little too soft (usually, I do not like soft beds)
- Chiayi (9/5): Superb - We’re vegetarians, and the owner prepared such delicious food for us. We still miss his meals a lot—especially the homemade soy yogurt!
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Everything from the moment we turned up was exceptional, the host was helpful, the breakfast was amazing. We were so impressed we have changed our plans and will be returning at the end of our holiday
- Jim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Guy (8/5): Cozy place. Nice owner. Not the typical stay - It's a really cozy wooden attic style accommodation. The owner was nice and cooked a great meal. There's a really nice bathing facility as well Since it's wood it doesn't absorb sound very well, but it wasn't a big problem
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): The host is very friendly and hospitable. We chose the accommodation as it is pet friendly. -
- Toni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hope (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ying (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation experience was great. It was a quiet and comfortable location. The room was very clean. The owner of the accommodation was very nice and could communicate with guests through translation software. In addition, the owner’s cooking skills were very good. We enjoyed rich and delicious breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended this accommodation to everyone.
- Lok (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rafa (10/5): Gracious and generous host. I will dream about coming back! - Beautiful ski lodge, the wood workshop made it even more charming. The room was clean and comfortable and simple but very cozy. They had everything you need and on top of that an onsen style bath. The host was very kind and generous and I left with a big smile! I wished I could stay longer! Nothing it was all amazing.
This might be a European habit but I would have liked it if there was air-freshening products in the onsen. The smell of hot water on wood was a bit intense, needed something to break it like a diffuser or incense
- Clément (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome owner, delightful dinner, cozy bedroom, amazing facilities and extremely good value. Some other guests were still making noise after 10 pm.
- Sharmily (9/5): Superb - The Location is very nice. The house is very beautiful. The host was very nice as well. We did BBQ at night. Highly recommend
- Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cameron (7/5): Good -
- Abbey (10/5): Cozy and clean - Really lovely ski lodge, superrr clean, nice shower and onsen room which is used privately but other guests also use. Owner was really nice with a smooth check in process.
- Kylie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hoang (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ana (10/5): Everything was great! - The owner was very kind and helpful! The breakfast was delicious and the ofuro was also great!
- Jasper (9/5): Amazing/Sugoi - Great accommodation in a lovely spot. The owner was so nice. He gave good advice and was a delight to talk with. He used translate to get around the language barrier. The food was delicious and there were lots of different dishes. The bath was very relaxing. All of this for a very small price. Highly recommend Urabandai Cranes NA
- Kristie (9/5): Nice private onsen bath room. Owner, a pleasant Japanese man - The location of the property is within walking distance to a beautiful lake. The property is run by its owner, a pleasant Japanese man who uses Google Translate to communicate with non-Japanese guests. Rooms with attached toilet would be good
- Ian (10/5): An amazing experience that I hope I can have again. - Everything. The location was rustic but everything seemed very new or renovated. The quasi-private onsen (shared between other people in the house) was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were also spacious with AC/heater, and a pretty comfy bed. The owner was also extremely friendly and prepared for us some amazing meals. Nothing really. Everything was very good.
- Emeline (10/5): Exceptional - Ex farm house in the middle of countryside : very peaceful stay
Lovely owner
- Marshila (10/5): The place was very cosy with a great hospitality. The owner was very kind. We did enjoyed our stay at Urabandai Cranes! -
- Hsumon (7/5): Good -
- Joel (7/5): Good -
- Erick (10/5): Awesome stay with exceptional breakfast and friendly host! - The vibe. The breakfast. The room where you can lookout to a sky full of stars!
Notable mention: the breakfast. The owner made them himself. The toast wasnt just ordinary toast - im quite sure it’s brioche. The scramble eggs are not just eggs, but served with some corn in it. The lettuce is fresh af! Ordinary things that you can tell the owner puts in effort to make it a wonderful meal. I heard from other guest that the breakfast differs each day. Too bad I have got only one night to spend.
The owner is very welcoming and helpful. You could tell he enjoys hosting guests (as well as woodwork, especially canoe), and he’s not trying to just “run a business”. I wish i spent more nights there.
- Nikol (10/5): Exceptional - The location, the facilities, and the owner were all great! The onsen style bath was a great temperature too.
The owner gave us great sight seeing spit recommendations, too.
- Heikkinen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Che-hao (10/5): Exceptional - Good price and beautiful environment. Nothing.
