All accommodations have a tatami (woven-straw) floor and Japanese futon bedding. Amenities include air conditioning and an LCD TV, while some rooms have a fridge and an attached bathroom. Yukata robes are provided.

The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. The accommodation itself was absolutely beautiful; because I am traveling with my pet, I was in the Annex, which exceeded my wildest dreams in terms of comfort and privacy. The town is a small seaside area in a quiet bay, with a gorgeous Shinto temple and absolutely beautiful historic area. I can't wait to come back once I'm better at Japanese, I suspect there's much more to be discovered in this area! Oooh, and oh my god, the food! I went for the half board, and was absolutely blown away by the variety, quality, and presentation of my meals. I am so grateful for my time here.

    Standard big station hotel with the ever polite Japanese staff. Small onsens on the ground floor. Although in the back of the building it is a bit awkward to have them there. Breakfast was okay. Nothing great, but nothing wrong. If you want to stay near the station it's a good place.

    This hotel is just stunning. Japanese-style, with tatami floors and a great onsen, sublime breakfast, perfect amenities and extras such as manga library, it is worth a visit in itself.

    Really enjoyed how every where in the hotel was tatami floored. It was so nice not to wear shoes around for a change. The spa was amazing, and I enjoyed the free ice cream and the massage chairs after the onsen too.

    Great location just opposite the station. Convenience store just next to the hotel as well. Staffs are very very helpful and friendly. My friend left her scarf at an Onsen Ryokan in Tamatsukuri Onsen and a staff called them for us to check if they found a scarf. When we asked a nice cafe near the hotel, she copied a map and circled the cafe on the map and gave the map to me. The staffs went the extra miles to help us. Big bath is also very nice although it's an artificial Onsen.

    A very great Japanese experience with Tatami mats throughout the hotel. The rooms are small but functional and the onsen is great. It's a short walk to the Castle which is a must see in Matsue. The breakfast was a highlight. Such an incredible selection and quality of food was outstanding. in keeping with the hotel, it is very traditional Japanese fair so do not expect Western options.

Free amenities (toothbrush etc.), free snacks and manga to read in the hot springs. Large, multiple spring baths with different temperature. Large lounge on the first floor. Rooms are large and well furnished with a table, and a coffee table with a small sofa.

    Very tasteful Japanese-style outdoor and indoor Complimentary water bottles and juice in the room, beverage service in lobby at some hours, and ice cream at onsen. Ryokan style service: first cleaning of the wheels of suitcase, putting of shoes and walking through entire interior of hotel in socks on tatami floor. Very nice onsen (in and outdoor) with massage chairs. Beautiful tatami mat style room with modern touch, bigger bathroom than usual.

    The breakfast was definitely worth paying extra for, and the rooftop onsen was fantastic. They also had a very nice sauna that kept a stable 92 degrees celsius and a cold water bath that I really appreciated. Upon entering the hotel, all guests had to remove their shoes, and walking around barefoot or wearing only socks felt really nice on the tatami mats covering the floor around the entire hotel.

    Rooms are big with wide tatami area. Very nice view to the lake and by paying 500 JPY you can use the sister hotel (Chorakuen Ryokan & Onsen), which has one of the biggest outside onsen in Japan. There is even a free shuttle bus (once per hour).
