- 樫村 (8/5): -
- Rungsima (10/5): - มีออนเซ็นส่วนตัวในบ้านพัก ต้องขับออกมาจากที่เรียวกังหลักไกลพอควร และรอบๆบ้านเงียบมาก
- Anastasia (10/5): - Loved the atmosphere and the quietness of the area! The cats were a bonus! I was really comfortable staying here. It was perfect
- Tsuyoshi (8/5): 日程が短い中でも充実した時間が過ごせたと思う。 - スタッフが丁寧で親切だった。朝御飯が量も多くおいしかった。 特にはない。
- Nozomi (9/5): 癒されるロケーションと居心地の良い素敵な空間♪ - ロケーションがとても良く、お部屋からの眺めも素敵で義理の両親と夫、私、3歳児だったので1番広いお部屋にして頂いたのですが、洗面所やお部屋のお風呂も綺麗で広く、オムツが外れていない子供と広々入れて心地よかったです。また、子供用の食事も事前に頼んでいなかったのですが、その場で快く作って下さり、ご飯の形をうさぎさんに仕立てて下さり、ちょうど子供はうさぎ好きだったので大喜びでした。また、フリーの珈琲が濃さも選べるタイプで嬉しいご配慮♡ スタッフの方々も皆丁寧で親切で心地好く過ごさせて頂きました。 私のチェックミスだったのですが、エレベーターが無いのは脚が大分弱っている義父にとってはキツかった様です。
- Takashi (1/5): 素晴らしい、おもてなし - 全て
- Ai (10/5): 最高でした！ - 食事がとても美味しかったです。猫ちゃんと犬ちゃんにも触れ合えてとても癒されました。別荘のほうに宿泊しましたが、温泉もとても気持ちよく、ゆっくり出来ました。お正月の帰省中に両親と宿泊しましたが、子供達も両親も大満足で、とても良い思い出になりました。今回は1泊でしたが、次回は連泊して宿泊したいです。ありがとうございました。
- たつみ (6/5): -
- 奥野 (8/5): アットホーム！ゆっくりできる旅館 - こたつがとても暖かくて良かったです！ ファンヒーターも置いてあり、暖かく過ごすためにいろいろと準備してくださっていてありがたかったです！ また、猫がいて、関われるところが良かってます！
- Richard the Mango (10/5): Great and cosy ryokan, perfect for big or smaller families - I liked the quietness and cosiness of the ryokan. The facilities were great and clean. Also loved that they had cats and dogs as well. I also loved our little private villa - very nice touch. Didn't realise the villa was a bit further from the main ryokan but that was okay once we settled in.

- neta (10/5): מושלמת.מומלץ - מאוד מאוד מיוחד, יפני- אסתטי, נקי. נמצא באיזור של יערות שלכת קסומים (באוקטובר) , נהרות זורמים , מפלים, אגמים. אוויר נקי. בעל הבית נהדר , לבבי ודובר אנגלית מצויינת. גולת הכותרת היה האונסן הפרטי בבקתה שהיה נהדר, חמים , נקי, מטופח ויפיפה. האוכל במסעדה היה תענוג.
- Tsuyoshi (4/5): -
- Claude (10/5): Séjour mémorable dans une ryokan - Le décor des lieux, la très grande chambre, les repas, la gentillesse du personnel et du patron, l'onsen privatisable dont nous avons profité. Rien
- kudou (6/5): - スタッフの一生懸命さが伝わってきました。 露天風呂がやはり口コミ通りお湯が温すぎて入れなかったことは残念でした。
- 矢野 (10/5): - スタッフの皆さんが明るく声かけしてくれて和みます。猫たちもフレンドリーで癒やされました。館内どこも清潔です。 ないです。
- Graham (10/5): -
- Wytske (10/5): Heerlijk bijgekomen! - Heerlijk om bij te komen met alle ruimte, rust en goede faciliteiten voor jezelf. We werden vriendelijk ontvangen en vervolgens netjes begeleid naar de accommodatie en aldaar rondgeleid. Het appartement is groot, hierdoor ook zeer geschikt voor gezinnen. We hadden alle ruimte om de tassen weer fatsoenlijk in te pakken (met souvenirs). Niks, alles is nieuw en comfortabel!
- Kym (10/5): - Such a terrific place. The owner is warm, generous and committed to strengthening the local community. The baths are fabulous. The rooms are spacious. Thoroughly recommended.
- Genki (10/5): 猫旅館 - ご飯が美味しい。 猫が可愛く人懐っこい
- TONG (10/5): -
- nanako (3/5): - 料金的に食事に期待したのですが、家庭料理でできるものばかり。幼児用も準備してもらったのですが、今まででは、最低でした。ミルクさえなかった。露天風呂はあるだけ…。中国の方々で経営しているようでしたが、日本の民宿以下と思いました。ブッキングコムのことも悪く言われ、不愉快でした。
- 岩本 (8/5): -
- Shuzo (8/5): Very good -
- Thomas (10/5): Amazing tranquil experience - Staying in the holiday home was a truly amazing experience. The house is new, and contains everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The private onsen can be adjusted to your liking. Just good to know: the house is in a quiet village without restaurants or shops. Be prepared to bring supplies and relax.
- Chris (9/5): A wonderful Japanese experience. - Friendly staff and excellent facilities.
- E (10/5): - 猫がとても人懐っこくて可愛い。 宿は清潔感があって良かった。お風呂がもう少し温かったら良かったです。
- Keiko (10/5): - 看板猫ちゃんを楽しみに行きましたが、寒かったからか、ロビーにはいませんでした。 温泉♨️はぬるめでゆっくり入れます
- Imfused (5/5): Passable - It should be improved in it' quaility.
- Elaine (9/5): Excellent customer service exceeding expectations - The ryokan owner went out of his way to help us with transport to hard to reach places and detailed information on public transport. Gave us lifts when he had time. Room was comfortable. Onsen had great view of the mountains and outdoor lava rock thermal pool. Temperature of indoor pool was right for extended soaking. Outdoor pool is lukewarm but still warm enough to enjoy outdoor air and snow views in winter for short time before going indoors. Finishing each day with a warm soak in the onsen followed by massage chair was just perfect before dinner. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious, filling and creative. Only needed light lunch or snack despite exercising a lot in the snow. The ryokan is situated in a beautiful, quiet location, surrounded by nature, on edge of town. English language difficulties with staff and general hotel information, except for ryokan owner who is proficient in English. Reverse cycle air conditioner in room had to be running to heat room in winter, causing air to become very dry. Difficult to get around for sightseeing or activities without private or rental car because the local bus service completes only one round per hour.
- Sergio (10/5): Exceeded our expectations - Completely loved our stay, beautiful place and one of our favorite places during our trip. Hope to come back again.
- NAOKI (8/5): - お宿に、可愛い猫ちゃんがいて癒されました。
- Carmen (9/5): Superb -
- katufumi (8/5): - 全体的にはよかった
- Saurabh (10/5): Amazing. Loved it. - Property had a tranquil location and most importantly staff (owner) was extremely kind and helpful. Dropped us at hiking location and bus station. Onsen can be slightly more clean.
- Pimpatchara (8/5): Very good -
- Graham (10/5): Amazing stay with the most hospitable owners we’ve met. This place is so underrated and deserves an extra star. The food - We loved the property, food and staff
- ??? (8/5): - 人懐こっい猫ちゃん居て癒されました。 食事も美味しかったし対応も親切でした✨
- Roman (8/5): Very good -
- Li (9/5): We are family of 6 and we all love this special Japanese style accommodation. We have tried both private and public onse - Special experience in Japan! Nothing!
- Maaten (10/5): Exceptional - Dinner was expensive, but had a lot of different delicacies to try. Staff was very welcoming and explained well, drove me to the bus station next morning. Futon was very comfortable. Very natural place, so sleep may be disturbed by outside sounds for some people.
- Lindsay (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our Japanese-style room and the extremely comfortable beds. We slept with the windows open for cool air, listening to the river. The staff were friendly and helpful, a really wonderful owner. We loved being greeted by a kitty and watching them enjoy the property! We enjoyed the private onsen. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful ryokan.
- Worapat (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chisato (10/5): - 宿の方々皆様とても優しくて、丁寧に接してくださいました。猫も犬も可愛くて癒された二日間でした。ありがとうございました。
- Ernest (9/5): Winter warmth in Nasushiobara - We stayed 2 nights at the Akasawa and enjoyed our stay . The ryokan was cosy , but what stood out was the little touches that made us feel welcome , eg the complementary coffee, tea and snacks at the lobby, the comfortable seating next to the waterfall view , and the company of the ryokan pets (friendly dogs and cats). The staff balanced both privacy and service . An experience to remember
- Precious (10/5): A Memorable Experience - 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.
- Beatrice (10/5): Exceptional -
- ?? (8/5): - 静かで、年配の私たちにはゆっくり出来ました。お料理も気配りがあり美味しくいただきました。機会があれば又伺いたいです。但し露天風呂のひとつが使用禁止はいいのですがのぞいてみたら、鳥の羽が浮いていたり😂ここはなんとか対処して欲しいです。
- William (7/5): Good -
- Terry (10/5): - Small, quiet onsen along the river Free coffee, house cats and dogs to love on and a great host
- Crystal (2/5): not great, fell below expectations, feels dirty - location was interesting i had a weird experience with the staff. she looked at me like i was stupid when i said the supposedly gendered onsen rooms were unidentifiable and one of them was locked. i made her follow me and it was only then she realised that it was a “special” evening where there were only 4 guests and basically the onsens had become private onsens. it was very weird to me that gendered onsens can suddenly become private and i hate to think what kind of hygiene standards there are given that. i had to use the same onsen as my father which was very weird and i also didnt like that she seemed to be unaware that this was happening in the first place. on top of that there was hair in my futon so i’m not sure if its even clean + when i arrived around 5pm and asked about dinner she said i shouldve booked earlier (nobody asked tho???) and they cant prepare last minute, which is not nice because this hotel is in the middle of nowhere; and i asked about breakfast and she said i had to confirm immediately otherwise they will not be able to prepare. everything was so dodgy and weird especially with the way this staff spoke. i dont like this place and will not come again.
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Judy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kyoungwon (10/5): Exceptional - This was my first trip to Japan and I wanted to have an authentic experience of Japanese culture. Akasawa Ryokan not only provided traditional onsen experience in Ryokan but also offered great hospitality to get places around the town. As a foreigner traveling Japan for the first time, I felt so welcomed. Also I really enjoyed breakfast and dinner there as well, which were delicious and authentic. Unforgettable experience at Akasawa Ryokan. I would love to go back. There were none that I didn't like. I loved everything I experienced there.
- Hyuntae (7/5): Good -
- Yuko (8/5): Very good - Surrounding was beautiful and quiet. Staff were kind and thoughtful. Dinner was good. Tsukemono and beef were great taste.
- Shinko (9/5): Absolutely loved it, hope to visit again! - It was a very warm ryokan that made us feel right at home from the start. Staff are very friendly and provide excellent customer service, even though our children were not the quietest of guests. The kotatsu in the room was perfect for a winter stay in the mountains. The onsen was also fantastic! As mentioned frequently, the cats are part of the staff - so it’s great for animal lovers! This has nothing to do with the property itself, but it is a distance from many places such as the ski field. However, because we loved the place so much, the 20 mins drive to and from the snow each day with our young children weren’t a bother at all!
- Neha (9/5): Superb -
- Dwain (8/5): Very good -
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional - We ordered dinner and breakfast and this was wonderful. The onsen and massage chair was very app
- Seiki (8/5): - 露天風呂を加温頂けたら良かったかなと思います。当日は少し涼しい気温だったので、ぬるいことは覚悟してましたがお風呂としては厳しい温度でした
- Yuka (10/5): - 看板猫ちゃんが迎え入れてくれるという非日常感が、とても嬉しかったです！ 堅苦しくなくアットホームなスタッフの皆様で、初めて伺ったのに懐かしい気持ちになりました！ お風呂もぬるま湯でゆっくり浸かるのに最適でした。 お部屋からの眺めも気持ち良いですし、天井が高いので開放感があり素敵です！ また行きたいね、と彼と話しています。 ありがとうございました！
- satoru (10/5): - 食事が良かったです。 あと、スタッフの対応がとても良かったです。
- Ogawa (8/5): - 宿の係の人が親切でとても良かったです。
- seiya (6/5): - 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.
- Shuji (8/5): - 素泊まりで泊まりましたが 晩御飯を買いに 近くにコンビニはありますが 歩いて行くには、少し遠いです。 朝、朝食は頼んでませんでしたが 無料でコーヒーや牛乳、ブドウジュースや パンを自分でチーズをのせて焼いたり ジャムを付けて食べれたのが良かったです。😄
- Wei-Chun (10/5): 心温まる優しいお宿でした。 - オーナー夫妻やスタッフの方々に何から何までとても優しく対応していただき、とても心温まるステイができました。娘たちも普段なかなか接することのできない犬や猫のお世話もさせて頂き、とても喜んでいました、ありがとうございます。お部屋も綺麗に掃除がされていて、お料理も朝夕とも美味しく頂けました。お風呂は確かにぬるめですが、長風呂するには最適な温度だと思います。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。機会があれば、また行きたいと思います。
- まなみ (10/5): - 猫がいて癒された。 スタッフの半分くらいが外国人だったけど対応がよかった。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 動物好きな人は - 親切な従業員の方にお世話になり、看板猫に癒されました。
- Antonio (10/5): Great discovery - 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.
