I chose this Accommodation because I wanted to visit Mihama Beach and it was conveniently located, but I was amazed by the incredible hospitality. The proprietress was like sunshine, and all the other staff were so pleasant—truly a wonderful Accommodation. The young woman who served dinner even picked up on our small conversation and celebrated my husband’s birthday, which we hadn’t mentioned. The Room cushions were unbelievably thick and fluffy—so much so that I almost hesitated to sit on them. Since I was traveling with my elderly father, they were very considerate of him, and he was in great spirits as well. This is the first time I’ve experienced such a warm Accommodation. Thank you very much!

From welcome to farewell, the service was attentive and truly impressive. No matter where we were in the building, the staff noticed everything and took excellent care of us.\nOcean views from every Facility—the Room, the large public bath, and the lounge with complimentary drinks.\nWe also recommend taking a walk down the hill to Mihama Cape.\nThe ocean view from the outdoor lounge was in a perfect location. We relaxed with coffee while listening to the waves until sunset. Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful stay. The open-air bath was a very calming space, and we were able to relax while listening to the sound of water and insects. The shampoo was also comfortable and didn’t leave our hair feeling squeaky. The Ryokan itself was spacious and felt like a maze, making it fun to walk around as if exploring. The barley tea and apple rooibos tea after the bath were also a thoughtful touch. I hadn’t been reading much for quite some time, but using the “Kotoba no Atelier” inspired me to make time for reading again in my daily life after this stay. I also wrote a Tokitegami letter and had a lovely time. Breakfast was buffet-style and everything was delicious—especially the fruit punch. Before breakfast, I ground coffee beans for drip coffee, which was also excellent and made for a very fulfilling experience.

The fresh fish sashimi was outstanding. The meat dishes were also delicious, and we were very satisfied. The service was courteous and attentive. I think this Accommodation would be comfortable with no issues for guests up to their 60s. As Tokiwaya is a traditional Ryokan, I felt there are many challenges in terms of accessibility. I stayed with my 95-year-old mother, so I made a Reservation for a Room with a private bath, but there were many steps inside the Room and the bathtub was deep (my mother was able to step over it), which unfortunately made it difficult to use.

Affordable and conveniently located near the interchange, the free dinner curry was a highlight. However, it unfortunately ended in late August 2025 due to rising costs. I would gladly pay a slightly higher accommodation fee if it could be reinstated. The service was standard for a Business Hotel—neither exceptional nor disappointing—but overall, my impression was positive.

This Accommodation has a cozy, old-fashioned, homey atmosphere, and the staff gave us a very warm welcome. This time we enjoyed a full-course fugu meal that even included shirako and grilled fugu, and honestly there was more than we could finish. Since we couldn’t fit in the final rice porridge, they kindly saved it for breakfast, which was a big help. Every fugu dish was carefully prepared and we were completely satisfied. Being able to enjoy so much at this price felt like an excellent value. The bath was also at just the right temperature, making it easy to relax in peace. Next time, I’d love to come for the spiny lobster course.
