Yuhigaura Onsen Ryokan Yuhigaura

"This hotel was such a pleasant surprise! During my solo trip to Japan, I mainly opted for one-night, two-meal onsen hotels, falling in love with this kind of vacation where you soak in hot springs and enjoy meticulously prepared meals. Many onsen hotels offer single-person packages for small rooms, while larger rooms are usually for two people. This hotel had two top-floor suites offering single-person packages, which was fantastic. Plus, it wasn't a purely Japanese tatami room, which I didn't like; it was a newly renovated Japanese-Western style, much better than the rooms at more famous hotels like Kashoen and Shizukasen. The hotel is located near Yuhiura Kizu Onsen Station. A special note: there's no public transportation to this station; you must have the hotel pick you up. I told Ctrip customer service my arrival time the day before to arrange it, and all the hotels here offer pick-up services. You can also call upon arrival and wait about ten minutes for the hotel shuttle. Check-in was at 3 PM, and I was shown to my room around 2:30 PM. The lobby was average, but the room exceeded my expectations—beautiful beyond the ocean view, well-designed, elegantly furnished, and with excellent facilities. The most outstanding design was the suite's separate small dining area, preventing food smells from lingering in the room. The high table was very comfortable, much better than eating in the room at Kinosaki Nishimuraya. The hot spring was at just the right temperature; soaking in it while enjoying the sea view was incredibly pleasant. Dinner was a crab meal, very generous in portion and of excellent quality; we ate the crab meat as our main course. Breakfast was a bit simple, as no milk was provided. We checked out at 11 am, thoroughly enjoying the thoughtfully designed room without even leaving the hotel. The hotel had many Japanese guests, as well as some foreigners who came specifically for the hotel. There were foreign staff members, and the service was excellent, with warm and attentive service. This hot spring town is very quiet with a beach, but there's almost no tourism or commercial activity. Visitors mainly come to enjoy the sea views, hot springs, and cuisine at the various hotels. There's no dedicated hot spring shopping street, making it ideal for those driving. Alternatively, you can visit Amanohashidate in the morning, have lunch, and then stay at this hotel. The food and sea views are better than at hotels in Amanohashidate. Don't arrive too late; it gets dark by 5 pm and you can't see the sea anymore."

Hotel Soka

"The location of the hotel is relatively rural. From the road, the building is very low-key, but entering the inside is infected by the warm and elegant atmosphere, especially when you come to the room, the floor-to-ceiling windows on both walls can see the beautiful scenery from the lake sunset, and the sunset time is reflected in the sunset. Dinner is a surprise, the crab meat package is launched in winter, but the Italian cooking method is used, the rich sauce makes the crab meat very delicious, the soup, spaghetti, pancakes are unforgettable, the grilled crab meat is then dipped in the crab paste sauce, rich in layers. Breakfast bread basket scrambled egg cheese, full weight, fresh and healthy. Every staff member. Very proactive and courteous, will nod to say hello until the guests leave. The introduction of the dishes is as hard as possible in English as possible, which made my stay very pleasant. In addition, the hotel also has a hot spring although not big, but because there are not many guests, I am a person to use, open-air massage hot spring can see the lake and the starry sky can enjoy a quiet atmosphere."

Kaikatei Hanagozen

"The service was very good. When our car arrived at the parking lot, the staff came out to greet us. They helped us carry our luggage and carefully put bags on the wheels. The food is delicious. The Matsuba crab is very fresh and the arrangement is also very good. The room for dinner faces the snow view and the environment is good. It feels good to have a private bath in the room"

"The price/performance ratio is too high. The view is great. I will book this hotel again."
