"It's deep in the mountain and you can enjoy the summer green of the Shirakami. You may need a car to get there but I chose to go by myself, took a taxi between the hotel and Futatsui station, which gave me a wonderful opportunity of talking with a driver who spoke true local dialect of Fujisato area. Hotel staff were all kind. At the souvenir shop, you'll find nice local items like handicrafts and unique food.
Rooms and facilities are all clean. Very comfortable!"
"The best thing about this hotel is the breakfast which features local dishes. Kome eice is great. And as long as they serve small bowl of soup with Hinai Jidori meatballs, side dish of tonburi and cut nagaimo, I'll always choose this hotel.
Staff are always nice and kind. A bit of local dialect that they speak also helps relax my mind.
I appreciate the kind service and wonderful time while staying there. Arigato!"
"We had a fabulous stay here myself and adult daughter. The hotel was set in à beautiful area with lots to see (although you really need a car to get around and make the most of the area). The staff were exceptional even to the extent of posting on my daughter’s headphones which she accidentally left behind. The food was fantastic both dinner and breakfast. The highlight was the onsen which had a wonderful view over the river. Cannot recommend this enough"
"This is the third Hoshino Resort experience. Expectation was there given the price point this chain is charging compared to other chains. Hoshino always attempts to impress with its settings, however, the garden pool does not show as advertised this time (not certain if they only have the floating lanterns or what during certain season).
Regardless, staff are polite and courteous and I found that this time has a major improvement over the cleaning staff (although the property is a bit aged but still managed to keep the condition inside our room). Condensation is a concern in air-conditioned building across Japan, so maintenance staff needs to really check the top floor (where we stayed) for mould build-up by the elevator."
"Ryumontei hotel is a beautiful gem! The room was spacious and clean. The entire ryokan was designed around the gorgeous and huge Japanese garden which made every moment at the ryokan a picturesque moment. A must visit during autumn! The hotel was conveniently located within short distance to nearby tourist attractions such as oriase stream, lake towada and mount hakkoda. Oh and the dinner at the ryokan was out of this world! Sadhimi, crab, beef, fish, abalone... everything was presented beautifully! "
