"We have been visiting many onsen ryokans or hotels in Japan. This hotel is very good and my rooms is very large with indoor onsen and super deluxe design. However, we were disappointed during checking in. Their time slots for dinner and breakfast were somewhat ridiculous. Either too early or too late. No one told us where we could get our welcome drinks, or had staffs to guide us to pue room. Our breakfast time was even arranged by error on 8:30 instead of 7:00 as we had decided. Everything was so good except the hotel service should be improved."

"A well located hotel next to the station. Clean and quiet. No complaints. I would stay again."

"The room facilities are rather simple. Our room was located in the corner of the working area and was very noisy. I thought such a niche hotel would have few people, but it was crowded with Japanese guests. There were always groups of people in the bathhouse and hot springs, even before 6am. It was really exaggerated... Too embarrassing, not recommended!"

"The inn is conveniently located about an 8-minute walk from Banshu Ako Station, and we were given a thorough tour of the inn, making for a very pleasant stay. There is also a courtyard within the inn, and drinking coffee while looking out at the garden is fantastic. I would definitely stay at this inn again if I had the opportunity."

"The hot springs were great! I especially enjoyed the open-air bath at Aoumi-no-Yu, which had a variety of different baths. The view from the room was also spectacular. The staff were also very friendly. I arrived early, but they didn't make me wait long and I was able to relax in my room."

"It doesn't feel very convenient"

"We stayed in the annex, but it was inconvenient because we had to walk outside to get to the main building every time we had a meal. We went with my parent who has trouble walking, so there was very little barrier-free access, which was a problem."

"The room is large enough for one person and is very close to Ako Castle, just one traffic light away. However, the facilities are old and the hotel Wi-Fi is not connected at all! The overall environment is good and there is no odor in the room."

"A truly satisfying experience! I would definitely stay here many more times! The room was spacious and quiet, offering a very comfortable stay! A floor-to-ceiling window overlooked the sea, offering a perfect view of the sunrise; I didn't even want to draw the curtains while sleeping! The room was fully equipped, especially the kitchenware, which included various cooking utensils and basic seasonings. As someone who enjoys cooking, seeing the kitchen immediately made me decide to cook all my meals in the room! The hotel is largely self-service; there are usually no staff at the front desk, but they provide contact information so you can call if needed. The hotel staff were also very friendly. When we checked in, a staff member happened to be passing by and immediately helped us carry our luggage to the room; otherwise, we would have had to carry it up the stairs ourselves. Furthermore, we only decided to use the barbecue grill on the balcony after checking in, but because we notified the hotel too late, they couldn't prepare any ingredients. However, they provided the grill for us and gave us detailed directions on where to buy barbecue ingredients nearby."
