Kamenoi Hotel Ako

Hyogo Prefecture／Ako Onsen
¥30,598～
Dinner and Breakfast included ; 2 peopleTax included¥26,165〜
(USD 164.00)

Relax and unwind at an Accommodation with breathtaking panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea, where you can savor delicacies from both the mountains and the sea amid beautiful scenery.

Located at Ako Misaki in Setonaikai National Park, this Accommodation boasts an exceptional setting and takes pride in serving seasonal ingredients prepared in a variety of styles. Enjoy the beautiful Seto Inland Sea throughout the seasons from your guest room, the open-air bath, and the restaurant. To the east you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge; straight ahead, the Ieshima Islands; beyond them, Awaji Island; and to the west, Shodoshima Island. The large public bath’s open-air bath also offers sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea and a spacious tub for a wonderfully open, relaxing soak. A highlight is the rare low-temperature salt sauna—rub Ako salt onto your skin to promote perspiration—which is especially popular. For dining, enjoy creative kaiseki cuisine centered on seasonal seafood. Oyster dishes are particularly popular in winter.

  • The quality and portion sizes of the meals are perfectly balanced.

    While not flashy, the room was clean and the amenities were more than sufficient. Above all, both dinner and breakfast were delicious, with just the right portions. Since it was summer, a pool would have made it perfect, but we still had a great time playing table tennis and darts. We would love to stay again.

  • Great views and an especially nice bath. Excellent value Hotel.

    We stayed here as a couple on a summer trip. Not only were the views great, but the bath and in-house Facilities were thoughtfully designed, and we had an enjoyable stay. As it has only been a year since the renovation, everything was very clean and well maintained. Considering the price, I think it’s an excellent value Hotel. We chose a late check-out Plan, so it was also nice to enjoy the bath right after cleaning when no one else was there. You can still feel traces here and there of its past as Kanpo no Yado, so it may not suit those seeking luxury or highly attentive service, but it had a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The only disappointment was that dining felt somewhat like an assembly line, so I deducted one star for that. Next time, I’d like to visit during oyster season.
