The food—especially the special kaiseki course—was excellent. The staff were very attentive, and the timing of each dish being served was perfect. The sunset was also beautiful. I’d love to visit again. Thank you very much.\n(However, there was only one elevator, which was a bit inconvenient.)

This was my second visit. Last time I came in winter, so there were no rice plants and the paddies were muddy. I wanted to return during the lush green season. Bathing and dining while looking out over the rice fields and the distant mountains was truly refreshing. Both dinner and breakfast featured plenty of local ingredients, and everything was delicious. I will definitely visit again.

An early Father’s Day gift: an Onsen trip! He was really happy to relax and take his time enjoying both the Onsen and the meals, and I was glad to see him so pleased.

Right in front of the canal cruise boarding point. Right in front of the LeTAO shop. Located in the very heart of Otaru sightseeing, we also enjoyed seeing the Asuka III docked at the port—an excellent stay.

It is a very clean Hotel, and I think the hospitality is excellent. I did not expect such a wonderful Room, and I had a great time.

The laundry facilities (4 washing machines at 300 yen each and 4 dryers at 100 yen per 10 minutes) were helpful during our slightly longer stay. There was also one microwave available, which was convenient for heating purchased food. There is a pool; while it’s somewhat shallow

I chose this Accommodation because I wanted to relax in a bath with an ocean view, and it offers ocean-view rooms with private open-air baths. I later realized it was featured in the Michelin Guide (Tokai edition). There are many baths throughout the Accommodation—on the rooftop, on the 5th floor, two on the 3rd floor, and one on the 2nd floor—but unfortunately the 2nd-floor bath was closed on the day of my stay. The in-room open-air bath had plenty of hot water and a great view, and I enjoyed it very much. The 5th-floor bath is a reservable private bath in 25-minute slots, so it felt a bit rushed. On the 3rd floor, if it’s available you can lock it and use it privately; I used only one of them, and its semi-open-air style was best suited for washing up. I used the rooftop open-air bath after dinner—the gradient of colors in the sky was stunning, and I could even see an evening star, making for a truly beautiful experience; however... because there is nothing to block the wind on the rooftop, I felt very cold even during the short walk to the tub. You may want to choose your season if you want to fully enjoy it. The staff were cheerful and kind. I booked a Plan with breakfast and dinner; both meals were delicious and felt like just the right amount. Perhaps because everything paired well with alcohol, I got thirsty at night and drank water several times (I appreciated that cold water was provided in a pot in my room). The bedding was high quality and I slept well. Overall satisfaction was high—an Accommodation that made me want to return. One disappointing point—also mentioned by others—was that there were many marks on the tatami mats that looked like they came from dragging tables or other furniture around. Also as others have noted, there were some areas where cleaning seemed insufficient: higher spots and exterior sides of window frames looked like they hadn’t been wiped for quite some time. What bothered me most this time was that weeding around the open-air bath area hadn’t been done at all. It seems like it could be finished within an hour—or handled with weed killer—but since there don’t seem to be many young people locally and older staff appear to be running things mainly themselves, this may be easier said than done. Photos from when Game 16 of Ryuo Title Match (Season 16) was held here are displayed inside; you can see younger versions of Morishita Koji? Wait: Actually "森内、羽生" are Yoshiharu Morinouchi? It's "Morinouchi" vs "Habu". Alongside them is also a young Sugimoto Masayuki (8-dan), famous as mentor to Fujii Sota (six titles). Shogi fans—and especially Fujii fans—should definitely take a look.

The staff provide courteous and kind service. The bath and in-room amenities are well stocked. As it was midwinter, a warming gel pack had been placed inside the bedding, and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of a cozy, warm futon. The Room air conditioner kept us plenty warm, and a fan heater was also provided as a backup to further heat the room if needed. The meals were excellent in both taste and portion size. We were able to fully enjoy spiny lobster until we were completely satisfied. Overall, it is a wonderful Accommodation with an elegant atmosphere.

We stayed here to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. Everything was outstanding—the beautiful Room, the delicious meals, the private bath, and all the Hotel staff. The food in particular was amazing; the course meal made generous use of ingredients from Shimoda, and we could truly savor Shimoda’s richness from start to finish. The Hotel staff were also very kind—helping us with a small mishap in the bath (lol) and explaining each dish clearly. My girlfriend was thrilled, and I’m glad we chose this Hotel. Thank you for taking such great care of us!

The sunset view from the bath was absolutely stunning. Displaying more photos of the sunset within the accommodation might be appreciated by guests. Even during this season, I stayed in a room on the pine side but could still enjoy a great view of the sunset. The open-air bath wa

We stayed with my grandparents and uncle to celebrate my grandparents’ 90th birthday. They were delighted to receive a pair of matching chopsticks as a gift. During the meal, my grandfather accidentally bumped his hand while serving one dish and spilled everything, causing trouble; we were very grateful that it was kindly prepared again. Most of the staff were non-Japanese except for the proprietress. At times we weren’t sure if we were fully understood, but everyone was very kind and we had a comfortable stay.

The nearest station feels a bit isolated and slightly inconvenient, but the Room was more spacious and comfortable than expected. The bath was refreshing, and I really liked it! However, due to its slightly old condition and some dust and dirt in the bathroom, I couldn't give it a perfect score. Considering the price though, it's five stars!

The Facility has been renovated and is very well cleaned, with no pet odors or stains. The meals were delicious, and since it was a weekday there were few other guests, so we could relax without worrying. All the staff were kind, and we were touched to receive an illustration of our pet. They even saw us off until we were out of sight when we left, which made us want to come again. Weekdays are recommended! Thank you very much.

While the exterior is not flashy or luxurious at all, the rooms are very stylish and spotlessly clean, and both the food and service were excellent—we were extremely satisfied. We will definitely stay here again.

During dinner, we were treated to a stunning sunset view that felt like an appetizer before the meal. The highlight of the cuisine was indulging in both grilled sea bream with salt and deep-fried whole sea bream—a truly luxurious experience. The friendly staff made our stay even

Both inside and outside, the building was a very comfortable space, and just as promised by the concept, we were able to forget about time and spend a relaxing, meaningful stay. When we feel like enjoying an escape from everyday life again, we would love to visit again. Thank you

An open location along a park facing the sea. The twin rooms offer an ocean view, while the single rooms have a land-side view overlooking a warehouse district, which is not bad. Considering the price, meals and room amenities are reasonable, and having a large public bath is wonderful. It's within walking distance to EAS (iias), so shopping and dining are convenient, making it very comfortable for a cozy stay.

But that’s only if I had to point something out—overall we were extremely satisfied!! We would definitely like to stay again. To the gentlemen and ladies in the dining area: thank you so much for arranging things so that we could take our meal back to our Room for our fussy c

Since we were looking forward to the sunset, we checked the time, and they kindly came to let us know when it was time. Also, during meals, the staff not only offered refills of rice but also asked if we would like more miso soup; everyone was very pleasant. The view was wonderfu

The private bath in the Room is spacious and includes a washing area, making it truly exceptional. The meals were also delicious, as expected from a Ryokan specializing in cuisine. If I may add one suggestion, it would have been even better if laundry facilities were available ye
