It would be no exaggeration to say that this stay was the best among all the Hotels I have ever stayed at. Above all, the cuisine was truly outstanding—an experience that felt like “heaven.” The variety of dishes was impressive, and each ingredient freshly sourced from Amakusa was carefully and deliciously prepared. I was moved throughout the entire meal. When serving each dish, the staff also shared stories about the ingredients and wine, which made it especially enjoyable—not just eating, but appreciating the background as well. Everything was delicious, but what stood out most were the sushi with Amakusa kuruma prawns and Amakusa ishigaki sea bream, and the steak made with Amakusa black beef loin. Each dish brought out the best of its ingredients, and in particular, the steak had such concentrated flavor that it became an unforgettable plate. At breakfast, both “Kumasan no Kagayaki” rice and Tamango egg-over-rice were also incredibly delicious—I was impressed from first thing in the morning. The service was excellent as well. The staff’s warm and attentive hospitality left a strong impression. Everyone—including those in the kitchen—greeted us pleasantly, and thoughtful care could be felt everywhere. The Room was a villa type with each unit separate, so we hardly encountered other guests at all. We were able to relax in a private space at our own pace. From welcome drinks to checkout, every moment felt special—it was a truly fulfilling stay. This is a wonderful Accommodation that I would love to visit again.

We stayed here on the final day of a 3-night, 4-day long-distance road trip from Fukuoka through Hiroshima, Shimane, and Yamaguchi. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s thoughtful, guest-focused hospitality made us feel warmly welcomed and truly comfortable. The Room we were shown was very spacious, and everything—from the bed to each amenity—was high quality, leaving us extremely satisfied. That day, the view from the balcony was breathtaking, and soaking in the open-air bath while looking at cherry blossoms in full bloom soothed our fatigue from the long drive. This is a place we would definitely love to stay at again—Bettei Otozure!

I stayed at Kotei Soka for a three-night Multiple Night Stay. Overall, it was an extremely comfortable stay and a wonderful Accommodation that I would love to visit again. [What I liked] An unforgettable crab dinner: The crab dishes at dinner were truly outstanding. The quality of the ingredients really came through, and each dish was prepared with great care—easily the best memory of this trip. Beautiful design: The Room interior and overall design were excellent, allowing me to spend a luxurious time in a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Convenience of the in-room Onsen: The Onsen in the Room was always at the perfect temperature, and being able to bathe whenever I wanted felt wonderfully indulgent. [Suggestions for improvement / requests] About the outdoor pool: Since it is not heated in winter, I couldn’t use it and could only admire it from afar, which was a bit disappointing. I would be happy if there were some way to make use of it even during winter. Breakfast content: Because dinner was so luxurious and impressive, breakfast felt a little simple by comparison. I hope for a breakfast with more variety or a special touch that matches the quality of dinner. Checkout flexibility: Standard checkout is 10:00, which feels slightly early. As this was a three-night Multiple Night Stay, I requested late checkout until 11:00; however, I was told an additional fee (4,400 yen) would apply. As a longer-stay guest, that felt somewhat disappointing. If there were more flexibility or preferential treatment for guests staying multiple nights—such as allowing some extra time—it could further improve guest satisfaction. [Overall] Although I noted some small points above, overall I am very satisfied and have become a fan of this Accommodation. I look forward to visiting again next time.

The Room and meals were wonderful, and it was quiet, so we could relax and take our time. A friend came from Tokyo, and her husband found this Accommodation for us. This is an Accommodation where we truly want to stay again. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

We enjoyed one dinner and two breakfasts, all featuring amazing seafood dishes with great variety. The live kitchen risotto and French toast were absolutely exquisite! My children were thrilled and said they want to come back again! Thanks to you, we created wonderful memories in

And then there is the cuisine—something I look forward to with excitement every time. It captures the season perfectly and delights both the eyes and the palate. February means Setsubun: a demon mask made from carrot, a club made from burdock root, an Otafuku face made from quail

The simple room interior, the view of the sea from the window, the local cuisine with a delicate yet flavorful broth, attentive but unobtrusive service, and art pieces throughout the building that make it feel like a mini art museum—all contribute to its charm. Above all, the bui

Although it was a traditional Japanese-style Ryokan, the Room had beds and was very comfortable to use. We came for the wild mountain vegetables, and the meal—also featuring lingering cherry blossoms—really let us feel the season. If possible, we would have liked to enjoy more local wild mountain vegetables and regional ways of preparing them. Freshly harvested bamboo shoots from the grounds were available at a reasonable price. They even included Japanese pepper said to have been picked together, making it a wonderful souvenir.

Although the sunset was not visible due to cloudy weather, I was deeply moved by the stunning interplay of light between the clouds and sea during dusk, as well as the dramatic shadows of the Amakusa islands. The Hotel's Facility, designed with this breathtaking scenery in mind

The cuisine, hospitality, and Facility were all outstanding. Meals in particular were wonderful. Each dish was carefully prepared using local ingredients, and I couldn’t wait for the next course to arrive. The staff who served the meals also gave helpful advice on drinks and provided thorough explanations of each dish, so I was able to enjoy dining at a relaxed pace even as a solo female traveler. Breakfast was delicious as well. If I have the chance to visit Izumo again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

As you may have guessed by now (laughs), everything about this accommodation is simply outstanding! Overall, these two days exceeded all of our expectations and allowed us complete relaxation. I hope to return here again for another special occasion with loved ones. Thank you s

This was the first Hotel where we could enjoy sunrise, sunset, and the night view over the peninsula from our Room. On top of that, the staff’s thoughtfulness was reflected in everything—the spotless cleanliness of the Room, the variety and arrangement of amenities, and even the selection of drinks in the refrigerator. It was simply outstanding. Communicating with the staff and manager was truly comforting, and they were so considerate with the Shuttle Service that we almost felt bad. Even a small comment would be met with “How about this?” as they did everything possible beyond any manual—so much so that we felt we shouldn’t casually mention anything. When we told them it was to celebrate our daughter’s graduation and new job, they created unforgettable memories for us with a handmade bouquet and a champagne toast. Our daughter kept saying to both the staff—and even on our flight home—that she would work hard and definitely come back again. It seems this Accommodation has become a goal for her. There is still so much more I can’t fit here, but among all the Hotels we have stayed at, this became our very best Accommodation. It was a warm place where you could truly feel everyone working together to think about how to make guests happy. Thank you very much. We will be back again.

At the nearby Meka Aquarium, we had the chance to see polar bears and seals up close. Their dynamic movements made us feel like children again as we excitedly enjoyed ourselves together. We sincerely thank you for your thoughtful hospitality and attention to detail. It was truly

I was very satisfied as I could relax and enjoy the garden's views in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Dinner was primarily Japanese cuisine but incorporated a creative fusion of ingredients and cooking methods, making it both delicious and exciting. The traditional sea br

My long-held wish to stay here during cherry blossom season finally came true. The cherry blossoms right in front of me were soothing, and I was moved by the beautifully illuminated garden and the moonlit night. The host and all the staff were wonderful—warm, attentive, and made my stay very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, featuring plenty of seafood. (They kindly made rice with conger eel that I couldn’t finish into rice balls, which I enjoyed later as a tasty late-night snack.) This is a truly wonderful Accommodation that I would love to visit again in another season.

I would love to learn how such exceptional service is achieved. The service was flawless overall; personally, I was deeply impressed by the chef's handmade soy sauce, pickles, and sansho chirimen (the crab dishes were outstanding as well). The attention to detail in every aspe

Throughout our stay, we could feel the Accommodation’s pride and dignity in every detail, and it was a truly fulfilling experience. First, what deserves special mention is the thoroughness of the Room cleaning. Everything was carefully arranged down to the smallest detail, and the spotless space—without a speck of dust—made us feel that the fundamentals of an Accommodation were being upheld at an exceptionally high standard. We were also deeply impressed by the grace of the attendant’s service. Though she was young, she wore traditional attire, moved quietly with no wasted motion, and spoke with gentle refinement. In each gesture we sensed a polished spirit of hospitality; imagining how much effort she must have put in even brought tears to my eyes. (This old man is easily moved.) And above all, what was most outstanding was the exceptional quality of the cuisine. With generous use of premium ingredients, every aspect—the presentation, depth of flavor, and expression of seasonality—was superb. More than anything, I felt that what sustains this high level of service—and its true cornerstone—is the proprietress’s attitude. She consistently leads from the front, encouraging and guiding her staff. I was profoundly moved. These days, Accommodations like this are becoming rare. My wife and I are already talking about returning again in autumn. This is a genuinely outstanding Accommodation where you can experience Japan’s traditional beauty and refined elegance without exaggeration.

The sea was also clear and relaxing. The bath water was crystal clear with a silky texture, making it very pleasant. The hospitality and service were excellent, and the Room was clean, so we were satisfied. The dining experience was well presented, and both the conger eel and Awa

Our stay at Ginrinsou was truly enjoyable and deeply relaxing. The setting, rooms, meals, Onsen, and service were all excellent, leaving us with wonderful memories—we would choose it again.

Extending our trip to Shodoshima was absolutely worth it—this was an Accommodation that truly made us glad we came. Of course, the Room was spacious with no sense of confinement, and it was clean and comfortable. Beyond that, the calm sea stretching out beyond the window felt wonderfully refreshing, and we enjoyed the soothing sound of the waves and seabirds. The private baths (both indoor and outdoor) were relaxing, and after bathing several kinds of drinks are offered as a complimentary service. The olive kaiseki dinner, served over nearly two hours, features carefully prepared seafood from Shodoshima and nearby waters along with meat, vegetables, fruit, and more—beautifully presented on elegant tableware—and each dish can be enjoyed with Shodoshima-produced olive oil. Sitting side by side at sea-facing seats while taking in the view with our meal and wine was outstanding. It was also nice that there was no music or unnecessary noise. The menu is designed to be flipped page by page for each dish—a small touch that adds to the enjoyment. Breakfast also offers a wide variety of items. Once you taste it, you can tell quality ingredients are being used throughout. We joined an evening tour of about an hour to visit Goishiyama (the second sacred site on Shodoshima). On the round-trip microbus ride, we were given explanations about Shodoshima’s industries and history, which deepened our understanding of the island. The night view from Goishiyama left a strong impression. With warm hospitality and pleasant service—and an experience that lets you fully enjoy Shodoshima—this is an Accommodation we came to love.
