"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!"
"The location is very good as you can walk to the station in a few minutes. They also have a multi-level parking, which is very convenient for those who drive.
The room is clear and comfortable. And I appreciate their free breakfast in particular! The food tastes good and it can't be complained."
"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."
"Loved the location, onsen, breakfast, room was comfortable & staff were great!
I forgot an item in the room & am hoping to get it mailed to me & figuring out how to contact them."
"We had a wonderful stay at Ishiba Ryokan. The owner, a ninth-generation descendant of a samurai family, shared fascinating stories that brought the ryokan’s rich history to life. As a designated cultural heritage property, it truly feels like stepping back in time.
The location is ideal, just a short distance from the famous castle, and the atmosphere is calm, understated, and deeply tranquil. The owner speaks excellent English and was incredibly welcoming and engaging to talk with. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be returning."
