- JEN-YU (10/5): -
- 農家 (9/5): 満足 - 食事が全て良かった
- Takagi (10/5): -
- Ｙｏｕｚｏｕ (5/5): エアコン以外は特に問題なし。 - 食事は特に問題なし。ロビーからの景色は良かった。 上階の部屋でしたが、エアコンが全然聞かなくて寝るのが大変でした。部屋が下の階だったらよかったかも。
- 徳市 (8/5): - 露天風呂が良い。 換気扇、空気清浄機の音がうるさい。
- 月鳳 (8/5): - 房間升等
- Akemi (10/5): - 料理、接客、眺望全てが良かった 加湿器の給水がしづらかった
- Yoshimi (8/5): -
- Kazuko (10/5): - スタッフの笑顔とお心配りがとても温かく、お食事も懐石料理で、お部屋食ではありませんが、ゆっくり美味しく頂けました。お部屋、ロビーからも海が一望でき、ゆっくりと館内でくつろぐことができました。また、露天風呂からも、海が一望でき、大変気持ち良くリラックスできました。 特に感じませんでした。
- hara (7/5): - ネット予約後すぐに電話で苦手な食べ物を聞いてくれました。配膳の83歳のおばぁちゃん頑張ってました シャワーがなかなか温かくならなかった
- いっさ (7/5): -
- yumiko (10/5): 満喫 - ロケーション、お料理、スタッフの対応 がとても良く、気持ち良く過ごさせていただきました。 トイレの流れが少し悪かったこと お部屋にお茶だけでなく、コーヒーパックがあれば嬉しい。
- Davide (9/5): Dreamy open air onsens overlooking the sea - The open air onsen overlooking the seto sea are definitely the highlight of this place, staff is very welcoming, great food and nice authentic traditional Japanese rooms Nothing to note
- Erik (9/5): Superb -
- Patrick (10/5): Fantastic hospitality despite some language barriers! Great food and Onsen! Can’t ask for more! - Fantastic hospitality despite some language barriers! Great food and Onsen! Can’t ask for more!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice to go off the beaten path - It was nice to get away from the tourist areas for a time. Might be a challenge for non-English speakers but the staff was super-friendly and the outdoor onsen with a view of the ocean is worth it. Not really near anything but the staff drove us to a restaurant and we took a cab back. We visited Himeji before we arrived but didn't want to stay anyplace there so used a locker and then stayed the night in Ako. It is away from the Shinkansen line but not too far, take a taxi from the station. 2 outdoor baths, 1 open air and the other inside with a window. they swap access for male and female in the AM and PM so you can see both if even there for a day.
- Claine (10/5): - Fantastic Onsen - great for a single night stay. Large, and beautiful hotel, with fantastic views of the ocean. There are two public baths - an outside bath and an inside bath. These two baths switch between the genders every day. The baths are wonderful and hot, and have great views (even the inside bath) of the ocean. The staff are incredible and spoiled us (I'm used to staying in business hotels, and having tea brought to us, and our bags carried was a real treat). Most of them have limited English so I imagine this hotel might be a bit difficult to stay at if nobody in your party speaks basic Japanese. Breakfast was also a treat. I particularly enjoyed the tofu!
- susumu (10/5): 四天王 - 旅館としては全体として問題なく非常に快適でした。食事も料理旅館というだけあって、夕食朝食とも大変美味しかったです。夜と朝で男女入れ替えの岩風呂と露天風呂は道路を隔てて外風呂になりますが、近いので全く問題ありません。岩風呂は少し狭いですが、露天風呂は広く景色もよく快適でした。ただ、洗い場はそれぞれ４か所で少なく狭かったです。又、利用したいと思います。
- ベラ (10/5): 景色が抜群です。 - 支配人をはじめ仲居さんたちも大変ホスピタリティーに富んでいているのが、素晴らしいです。 ハード面は、露天風呂や客室からの景色が、絶景です。
- Yoshinobu (10/5): 露天風呂から覗く朝日が最高です。 - ゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができました。気配りも行き届いた様子で、いろいろ要望にも適時答えていただけました。露天風呂から眺める播磨灘に登る日の出は最高です。温泉もとても気持ちいいです。
