"As soon as I was ushered into the lobby of my apartment, 702, I knew I was going to love it. The combined bedroom/living area had a wooden sliding door and fixed window framing the ceiling-to-floor view of the balcony and sky. On the balcony were 10 sweet young olive trees in planter boxes, so lovely! Interesting views all around of the city and mountains, and a great place to sit in the evening after a day's sightseeing. The light inside was excellent, as was the lighting, and the spaces were well-designed, with lots of room to move and featuring attractive wood. The large bed was very comfortable, with a choice of pillows. There was a small safe, a mini fridge, and ample power sockets. The little table was a tad low for laptop work, but the bench where the tv was standing could be used instead. There was a deep bath and nice Provinscia toiletries. I didn't try the hotel's onsen. Shoes were removed in the lobby, where luggage could be stored and coats hung up, prior to stepping up into the living area. A yukata was provided. There was no disturbing noise from other rooms or in general; the apartment was secure, quiet and private. Housekeeping was every 3 days, other than collection of rubbish and replacement of towels, etc if needed. (It was a pity the slippers I'd been using were removed and replaced on the last of my 3 days there.) Complimentary bottles of water every day, and nice green tea. (I liked the unusual shape of the jug!) Breakfast choices were good and the food was tasty. I also enjoyed two take-out meals from the restaurant in the evenings. All the staff were helpful and friendly, and would go out of their way to look after guests. Many thanks to the young man on Reception who spoke good English and assisted me in various useful ways (I'm sorry, I've forgotten his name, I should've written it down)! The hotel sells its own drip coffee bags - they were great so I bought some to take with me, as they were better quality than I'd had elsewhere. (A small number of items are for sale in the Reception area.) The hotel is in a great location about 5 minutes walk from the station, with supermarkets, buses and the river close by. The main sights are 10-30 minutes walk away. I recommend Grand Toit, Ikou-ji, Manpuku-ji and Takatsu Kakinomoto Shrine for starters. The young man told me that not many international travellers visit the city - you're missing out! Masuda is also a great base for day trips - I went to Tsuwano and Hagi. I hope to return to the Mascos in future!"

"Clean and comfortable beds, nice and friendly staff, good breakfast, free easy parking."

"Hotel location is very good, located in the center of Yitian's small town. The room is quite satisfactory in Japan, after all, the price is not high. Good service, breakfast type is a bit small."

"Very good value for money"

"The bath is clean and has a nice atmosphere, and the shampoo and body soap are not cheap-looking. The view is amazing. The breakfast has a homemade feel to it and is a little different. However, the parking lot is in the countryside, so 700 yen is a bit of a concern. It would be nice if they could casually include it in the accommodation fee!"

"The room was spacious even with two double beds. The sun setting into the sea was beautiful."

"The onsen is an absolute highlight. The rooms I nicely decorated and the futa mattress is pretty soft and nice. You have to be walk 3km from the train station and at least 1km from the nearest bus stop, which is pretty ruthless especially when it’s dark outside. But at least there are proper sidewalks."

"Breakfast is free at the hotel. Accommodation starts on the 4th floor, and the lobby and restaurant are on the 1st floor. It's a great value, especially considering there are almost no restaurants in this station—most are closed or by reservation only. There's no other place to eat in the morning, so this is crucial! The room is also exceptionally clean! Even if you stay multiple nights, they'll clean it daily!"
