"The R9 hotel was nice that we could park so close to our room! The only drawback is when it is raining the water comes off in front and when trying to enter the code to the room we get all wet from the runoff. Besides that, it was great."

"The hotel was very clean and absolutely wonderful to stay in. It has a mini kitchen in the lobby that is useful for heating up food and provides utensils. The rooms looked very beautiful and was functional. Next to the hotel is a rest stop that had a local market and restaurant that you can reach easily from the hotel's back door. Overall, a great place to stay."

"One of the best onsen ryokan I've ever stayed in. Food was great and staff were attentive yet not instrusive. The room was spacious enough and we had a great sleep."

"Best hotel chain if you have a car. Lots of space to park, each room is its own individual trailer, and they give you a free (small) frozen dinner when you arrive."

From the very start the staff was very nice, even though we weren't the best tourists. We stayed a short time, and in that tike the staff was friendly, despite our Faux Pas and were willing to help us with arranging luggage forwarding.
The room we booked was very clean and offered coffee, tea, and ice water in our rooms which we were free to use. The mats we slept on we comfortable and had plush blankets that almost kept us TOO warm during the cool Spring nights.

Our room was gorgeous; the breakfasts were terrific; and our host anticipated all of our needs. For example, on both nights that we stayed at Kazahaya, he helped us select a local restaurant, escorted us to our choice, explained the menu to us, and placed our orders for us. My wife and I have stayed at many hotels, but we have never experienced personalized service like this.

the two assistant front desk young guys, one from Japan and one from Korea carried my heavy bags up the stairs to my room! Bathtub was great relief. One downside was the internet was slow and sometimes now working, but just to reset the router helped. The period decorations added much "duende" and many "tatami" everywhere. Japanese style inn. I stayed 4 nights and was the only guest in the whole inn for 3 nights.The attached restaurant was popular.

The Hinanosato was renovated about 6-8 years ago and it is an amazing place to stay - the decor is heavy on 60's themes which gives it a mellow / laid back feel. The staff are great, the breakfasts were wonderful and our room had a spectacular view of the Mikuma river. Parking on site is very limited but they have a couple parking lots nearby that can be used. Highly recommend this hotel!
