Sannemu Onsen, Kisakata Sunset Inn

I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days on my second visit, as I had business in the neighboring town of Gimpo. The weather was great every day, and I was able to see beautiful sunsets. The Room had tatami flooring with a single bed and was very comfortable to stay in. If I had to mention something, the water flow at the sink was weak and the drainage was poor. I was told this Room does not have a bath, but it wasn’t an issue because I used the large public Onsen bath every day. Unlike my previous impression, everyone at the front desk was kind and helpful, which made me happy. The restaurant was also clean, and I appreciated the staff’s attentiveness. This Accommodation is conveniently located near a roadside station, as well as convenience stores and drugstores nearby.

- If you stay at an Accommodation on the Sea of Japan side, it’s common to be able to watch the sunset. There were three choices for where to view it: (1) the Chokai Mountain plateau, (2) the seaside, or (3) the Hotel. We chose (2), the seaside. We initially thought we could watch it from the Accommodation, but since the building wasn’t very tall and there were houses nearby, we went out to the beach after check-in. - There was also a private bath, but we didn’t choose it because it was a bit expensive and didn’t seem like we could expect much of a view. - The Room (and facilities) were comfortable and relaxing. Above all, the food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent—the best part of our stay. Next time, I’d like to stay when there is a city fireworks festival.
