Independent Hiekawa hotels

"Appreciate free drinks after 3PM and beers Etc, after 7PM. Fantastic breakfast. Very kind staffs. Very comfortable and considerate hotel. Tiny thing one chair will be nice addition."

"We loved the onsen experience. We had never done it before and they had a “lesson” for onsen etiquette which was helpful. It was very clean and relaxing. It was nice to have a free ice cream every day after bathing at the onsen, and fun to walk around the property in our hotel robes. The only issue we had was 2 little kids running around and talking loudly in the onsen bath area which was disruptive, but not the hotel’s fault. "

"Spacious and beautiful views of the surrounding hills. Only downside is that there are no food places within walking distances, but was able to take the train to nearby places."

"The property and staff were amazing. And it lived up to the beautiful pictures online and then some. An added bonus, it was an easy walk from the boat dock/ropeway."

"Really beautiful hotel. Very professional staff."

"Great in-room onsen"

"The room was cozy, the outdoor Onsen was fantastic. We love the privacy and the Mountain View. The staff was well trained and extremely helpful, especially the food servers. We enjoyed every moment of our two night stay. One issue that can be improved is the lack of a shuttle service for the guests. The Ryokan is on a rather steep slope and dragging our luggage back and forth was a real choir. Difficult to get a taxi from the Ryokan and the shuttle bus was not readily available. The Ryokan should have a van and a driver to ferry people back and forth between the Ryokan and the town. Charge a bit more to cover the cost, we for one, will gladly pay for the convenience! Overall, well done, and thanks. "

"Nice and relaxing "

"One of the most beautiful hot spring resorts I have ever visited in the world. I will be back again to soak up the healing water, admire the stunning view of the Pacific and appreciate the hospitality of the wonderful staff. "
