JapanA great location with stunning ocean views, friendly staff and good food. Lots of extras for our little boy like a kid’s yukata and good facilities made it super easy for a family stay.
JapanOther staff are generally very polite and helpful on our enquiries even though they don't understand much English.
MalaysiaOcean view was amazing with music at room. You would love this feeling that you empty yourself. You would not think anymore just relax. The staffs who are soooo nice, would love to help you to solve the problems. They are lovely and funny. You would love to stay there for a couple of nights!
ChinaExcellent location. Bus stop right in front of hotel. Amazing panoramic sea view for hot spring bath for indoor. my main reason to choose this hotel. My room has cape Pyuni view with mountain. It is a one of a kind experience, on a clear day, I could see the beautiful stars lying in my bed, something I couldn’t find in big cities. Love Dyson hair dryer provided in public both facilities. All hotel staffs are very helpful and friendly. Only have breakfast buffet, it was excellent with wide selection of Japanese and western choices. I love their grill station, grilled shishamo fish was my favorite, fresh vegetables to boil in hot pot on your own, homemade tofu, ice cream especially yuzu flavor. I enjoyed outdoor foot bath at balcony on lobby floor. Toilet decoration on lobby floor is beautiful
Thailand- Best onsen of my 2 weeks in Hokkaido, with 2 indoor onsens and 1 outdoor onsen, with views of the harbour - Breakfast and Dinner buffet quality exceeded my expectations, for someone who doesn't take buffet generally - Excellent bath amenities in both room and onsen - Great massage at an affordable price available outside onsen - Loved the view of the harbour in the Seaview room - Shops in the hotel for some shopping if desired
SingaporeStaff is polite and helpful. Room has a great view of the sea. Very close to the bus terminal and easy to connect. very relaxing environment

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
