Ginpaso
9.0 (64 reviews)

Ginpaso ★★★★

📍 2-8 Misaki, Ako

"The view from the bath is amazing! This is definitely my favorite hot spring. My daughter, who is a high school student, requests to go there every year. The food was also delicious."

Toyoko Inn Banshu Ako Ekimae
8.6 (120 reviews)

Toyoko Inn Banshu Ako Ekimae ★★★

📍 30-19 Kariya, Ako

"A well located hotel next to the station. Clean and quiet. No complaints. I would stay again."

KAMENOI HOTEL AKO
9.2 (55 reviews)

KAMENOI HOTEL AKO ★★★★

📍 883-1 Misaki, Ako

"Taking the bus from Akaho Station to the last stop costs about 200 yen, which is quite convenient. However, there are no convenience stores nearby. The hotel rooms are quite large, and the onsen facilities are excellent and very spacious, with a pleasant view of the Seto Inland Sea. Breakfast and dinner are both excellent Japanese cuisine, and the hotel even provides a complimentary bowl of ramen for a late-night snack, which is a thoughtful touch. Overall, I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance."

Shiosai Kirara Shokichi
9.4 (20 reviews)

Shiosai Kirara Shokichi ★★★

📍 Misaki, 2−8, Ako

"1 night, 2 meals, standard Japanese-style room, 10 tatami mats (no bath) / with shower (no indoor bath), for 2 adults, when we arrived at the hotel, there was a hotel staff member who guided our car, we dropped off our luggage and carried it to the parking lot ourselves, it was full because we arrived late, so the hotel staff felt sorry for us as we had to turn around and park our car, and guided us, after we checked in and were given tea and sweets, we were shown to our room when we finished eating, on the way we listened to the guide to the hotel, it's not a big hotel, but there were free drinks, sake tasting, sweets, etc., when we entered the room and listened to the guide to the room, they explained it to us carefully, the room was not that big, but it was spacious enough for two people to relax, and the amenities were the bare minimum, even if there was no bath in the room, the large public bath was enough, it was nice to have ice cream and free drinks after the bath, the chairs in the lobby were also unique, so it might be a good idea to find a chair that suits you, it would be nice to sit on a chair and watch the sunset, or wake up early in the morning and watch the sunrise, both the sunrise and sunset were beautiful, I wish we had a little more time. I recommend this for those who want to enjoy the sunset, eat delicious food, and take a leisurely bath in the hot springs."

Kariya Ryokan Q
9.4 (3 reviews)

Kariya Ryokan Q ★★★

📍 1996 Kariya, Ako

"Located right in front of Hanagakuji Temple, the site of the Chushingura samurai. This tastefully renovated traditional Japanese inn offers transportation to and from the baths at its sister inn if you make a reservation. Because it's a traditional Japanese house, you have to be careful not to make noise, but unless there's something unusual going on, you'll be fine as long as you stay as usual. The other guests were also very sensible. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful."

Ako Park Hotel
7.7 (2 reviews)

Ako Park Hotel ★★★

📍 Satsukicho, 36−12, Ako

"Jolie な Department House でした."

Donkairo
8.7 (2 reviews)

Donkairo ★★★

📍 131 Misaki, Ako

"I stumbled upon this hotel by chance. Firstly, I love the Seto Inland Sea, and then I was drawn in by its creative cuisine and the vibrant, energetic name, "Tunkairo" (meaning "Sea-Swallowing Pavilion"). The hotel is built on a cliff overlooking the sea, with two baths: one indoors surrounded by massive rocks, and the other a completely open-air bath. The day I checked in was chilly and I was huddled up. The women's bath was outdoors, and after a thorough shower, I entered the bath and immediately felt relaxed. Although I'm very sensitive to heat, a breath of fresh air and a glance at the swirling snowflakes made me soak for an extra fifteen minutes! The food seemed to be made with seasonal ingredients; since oysters are in season, there were two dishes with large, plump oysters for dinner, which was very satisfying. Other appetizers, such as sashimi, grilled fish, and seafood rice, were decent. Overall, it's a very cost-effective hot spring hotel. Oh, and they also offer a shuttle service from the station."

Hotel Yamachou
7.1 (8 reviews)

Hotel Yamachou ★★★

📍 1729-5 Kariya, Ako

"I couldn't go due to heavy snow, but they were inflexible. I asked for another date, but they wouldn't let me cancel for free."

Misaki Terrace
8.2 (5 reviews)

Misaki Terrace ★★

📍 165-10 Misaki, Ako-shi, Ako

"A truly satisfying experience! I would definitely stay here many more times! The room was spacious and quiet, offering a very comfortable stay! A floor-to-ceiling window overlooked the sea, offering a perfect view of the sunrise; I didn't even want to draw the curtains while sleeping! The room was fully equipped, especially the kitchenware, which included various cooking utensils and basic seasonings. As someone who enjoys cooking, seeing the kitchen immediately made me decide to cook all my meals in the room! The hotel is largely self-service; there are usually no staff at the front desk, but they provide contact information so you can call if needed. The hotel staff were also very friendly. When we checked in, a staff member happened to be passing by and immediately helped us carry our luggage to the room; otherwise, we would have had to carry it up the stairs ourselves. Furthermore, we only decided to use the barbecue grill on the balcony after checking in, but because we notified the hotel too late, they couldn't prepare any ingredients. However, they provided the grill for us and gave us detailed directions on where to buy barbecue ingredients nearby."

"Booked a one night stay with dinner and breakfast. Shuttle buses are available during check-in and check-out times. The quality of food, hot springs and cafe facilities are all very good. The only thing is that the location of the room is a bit bad. We were on the 4th floor and the left side was blocked by the main building. I knew that there would not be many people staying there that night and there would be many empty rooms, so I could actually offer a room with a better orientation. ."

KAMENOI HOTEL AKO ★★★★
"This restaurant's cuisine is quite impressive; the seasoning of everything is meticulous, especially the red bean curd soup. The rich, savory flavor of the red bean curd is fantastic (making red bean curd really takes skill). When you come to Hyogo, you absolutely must try the local sake trio; it's incredibly delicious. The first one is slightly spicy, while the latter two have a sweet aftertaste. And don't forget the oysters! December to February is the peak oyster season here; the Akaho Osaka-goshi oysters during this time are absolutely amazing, they'll blow Ginnaeus out of the water!"

Shiosai Kirara Shokichi ★★★
"After playing in Ako, I visited here for a day trip bath. There are several types of open-air baths, each with its own atmosphere and different scenery to enjoy. The chairs in the lobby are also carefully selected and each one is a masterpiece of a different type. The price is a little high for this area, but it was a worthwhile experience."

Kariya Ryokan Q ★★★
"The Ryokan and room was incredible! It felt like travelling back in time. The onsen was also super nice. The only issues were that the Onsen was at the sister hotel. It was only a 5 minute drive, but it would have been nice if they had their own. Also, the food was incredible, we had the breakfast. However we did not order the dinner because we were not sure if we would arrive to the Ryokan in time. Unfortunately they did not have any food at all, if you did not order the full set meal ahead of time. We went to a restaurant nearby which was ok...but it would have been nice if they had a couple menu items that were available outside of the full pre-booked set meal. "

"We stayed in the annex, but it was inconvenient because we had to walk outside to get to the main building every time we had a meal. We went with my parent who has trouble walking, so there was very little barrier-free access, which was a problem."

Hotel Yamachou ★★★
"The location was great, close to Ako Castle and Oishi Shrine, and with many restaurants in the area. I got a twin room, which was clean and the bathroom, while small, was nice and adequate considering the price. However, the lady at the reception desk completely ruined that good impression! I rang the bell, but no one answered for a while. I heard a voice, so I looked over and saw she was engrossed on a phone call with an acquaintance, not a customer, so I called again, but she still didn't come out for a while. Finally, the receptionist...she didn't seem to get it even when I told her my name and showed her the reservation screen on her smartphone! How many times are they going to ask for my name alone?! "How much was it?" "Huh? For that much?" etc... Her manner of speaking wasn't great either! This lady was the worst⤵️⤵️"
