Great view, excellent services

Reviewed By G H

Upon arrival, a lady with good English greeted us and showed us around the hotel, and inform us about the dinner and onsen arrangement. Besides her, none of the staff can speak English and all the signs are in Japanese only. Therefore, it is good to have her to explain everything. The room is spacious, and the rocking chair near the TV is a plus. No wifi in the room, only available in lobby area. There are two public baths, one facing west and one facing north. The view from the bath facing west during sunset is great. Booked the private onsen, they offered discount for overnight guest, only 2100 yen per 45 mins. Good if you are travelling as a couple or family. Dinner and breakfast are served in the private dining room. However, the taste is just ok. They have a restaurant that served lunch and dinner if your stay plan does not include meals. Motonosumiinari Shrine, voted by CNN as "Japan’s 31 most beautiful places" is about 20 mins by car, and the hotel offers free shuttle to there at 4pm. After checking out, we drove to Motonosumiinari Shrine but got on a wrong road and the rental car was struck. Luckily we were only a few minutes drive from the hotel. We called the hotel for help, the lady and one more staff drove to pick us up and bring us back to hotel. She helped us to call the rental car company and a tow truck came an hour later and saved the day. Good that we were waiting in the hotel, had lunch while waiting to tow truck to arrive, and not standing in the middle of nowhere. A big thanks to the lady and her staffs.

Bettei Otozure

Bettei- OTOZURE located in Nagato-City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is surrounded by nature, the mountains, beautiful landscape and the river called Otuzure.Here the mountains do not care where you've been, the cascading sunshine and light winds that ease through the lobby, do not care where you are going... All that matters is that you are right here! Every luxurious amenity you could want beckons to be discovered. The elegant surroundings, private walk ways and the views all take your breath away.

One of the top luxury ryokans in Southern Honshu

Reviewed By KI-NRT

While there are very nice places to stay when venturing South (beyond Hiroshima), there is a comparative dearth of top luxury ryokans. Bettei Otozure is one of the exceptions. While not quite up to the standards of the best of the best (i.e., Gora Kadan, Asaba, Takefue), it's not priced to the stratosphere like those places, either. As others have mentioned, Bettei Otozure was formed as a result of Otani Sanso's many years of (property and room) expansion, resulting in a need for a smaller, more intimate property for the discerning clientele seeking a more private experience. Otozure has 18 rooms, meaning it's dwarfed by its sister property. But fear not - there are corridors connecting the two ryokans, but only guests staying at Otozure are allowed into Otozure itself, meaning you'll get the best of both worlds if you stay there. We stayed 3 nights in an "A Type" Suite, which one of the highest category rooms at Otozure. It's 82m² in size, which is good but not great, but it's partially made up for by virtue of its 32m² balcony. The Suite is of a semi open plan variety - the bedroom is in its own area, but there isn't a wall/door that separates it from the living room... not good if one person is trying to take a nap while the other attempts to get some work done. Otherwise, it's all good. The furnishings are contemporary Japanese - it's not a traditionally decorated ryokan, which is a plus or minus, depending on your tastes. The A Type Suite also had dual vanity/sinks, as well as an open-air Onsen hot springs bath, which we find a prerequisite for a ryokan (or at least a higher category room at one) to be considered a luxurious one. Food is very high quality, and leans heavily towards seafood, given that Otozure is in close proximity to the Sea of Japan, where there is an abundance of very nice fish, including Fugu (blowfish), Tilefish, Sea Urchin, Conger Eel and Stonefish - many of them real delicacies. They are all wonderfully prepared, flavored and garnished in various and unique ways, and are beautifully presented. If there's a slight knock on the Otozure cuisine, in comparison to other ryokans the overall quantity of the food is less - in many cases, we had to make calculated decisions on what to leave on the plate for fear of getting too full to continue eating. Not at Otozure. If you have a hearty appetite, you might potentially feel a tad unfulfilled. Also, the presentation is not as elaborate at Otozure. For instance, for the Hassun/Sakizuke (i.e. appetizer) courses, most ryokans would serve up a variety of small dishes, but in Otozure it's one dish. Nitpicky, perhaps, but I can't help but think that this is one area where they do cut corners. Similarly, desserts are far less elaborate. For two of our three Kaiseki meals (we went all Kaiseki), we got fruit, and only fruit. Now, I love high quality fruit as much as the next person, but that's not exactly something I necessarily visit ryokans for. Give me something unique. And if it's fruit, serve it in a way where it's not JUST fruit. Case in point... at another ryokan, they had seasonal melon - but, along with the melon, they had a small cup of melon mousse as well as melon sherbet. To me, it was far more satisfying to know that they went all out in each and every course, from start to finish. One other gripe - we are sticklers for having meals served in the actual room we're staying in, especially if we booked a nice and spacious one (which we almost always do, with the exception being if they've already been booked.) When we chose our room and later called them directly to inquire about whether meals are (or can be) served in the room, they said "no, it's in the restaurant." Okay, fine. Later, we learned that there are two rooms where in-room dining is possible (#204, a Type B room, as well as #206, a Type C room.) You know, I sort of wished they would have told us that when we stated our preference, even if it meant that we'd have to stay in a different room category than the one we selected. By the way, don't ask me why it's those two rooms. They made an excuse about our room being too far away, except that both 204 and 206 were no more than about 50 feet away from our room, and located on the same floor! All in all, we had a great time at Otozure, and it's a good base from which to explore the surrounding areas. A few adjustments to their approach would easily result in a 5-star rating in my book. But even as things stand, we would not hesitate to recommend Otozure. P.S. - if you have a rental car, there are some great places to see (depending on the time of year and the weather), especially if you're a connoiseur of Japan. This includes Hagi town (very historic, if you're into Japanese history), Motonosumi Inari Shrine, Akiyoshidai and Akiyoshido Cave, Beppu Benten Ike Pond, Tsunoshima Bridge, and the incredible 5-Storied Pagoda at Ruriko-ji Temple near Yamaguchi City (as well as Jyoei-ji Temple and the adjacent Sesshutei Garden.) You can easily combine Otozure with a visit to Hiroshima and Miyajima, with a stop at Iwakuni Castle and Kintai-kyo Bridge along the way - the latter is a must-see.

Stayed in a traditional room and had a traditional Japanese banquet which was a more enjoyable experience than I thought it would be. We were part of a large group and were allowed to bring our own alcohol in. I’m not sure if that is generally permitted.

This is a very comfortable hotel in a beautiful forested and hilly area in Japan. After checking in we did an additional motorbike ride around the area and just loved it. The onsen was great, the food very good and there are interesting walks from the hotel which several members of our group enjoyed. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

俵山温泉の静かなお宿

Reviewed By TakayaM14

30年前にバイク旅行で立ち寄った俵山温泉を思い出して宿泊しました。俵山温泉は昔ながらの外湯形式だから、なるべく共同浴場に近くて大きなお宿を選んで泉屋さんになりました。到着すると玄関先を掃いているおばあちゃんがお出迎えしてくれました。平日であったこともあり、宿泊者は私一人。部屋出しのお食事も申し訳なく思ってしまいます。江戸時代からの建物を増築、改築しながら今に至るようで、味わいあるお宿でした。料理ももてなしも宿泊代に十分見合うモノで、よくしてもらいました。知っていてよいことは、部屋には冷蔵庫がなく宿の中には自販機もありません。お酒のみにはすこし辛いところです。部屋では喫煙できませんが、ロビーでは灰皿が置かれています。お湯の良い俵山に又来れたときには、ぜひ使わせて頂きます。
