We visit Okinawa every year with our friends’ family, and now we can’t imagine staying anywhere other than Sunset Village. What stands out most is the breathtaking view from the hilltop. While you can fully enjoy Chatan’s beautiful scenery, the location is also very convenient—an excellent base for getting to areas on the east coast such as Okinawa City. It’s spacious enough that even two families can stay together comfortably, and we’ve discovered a new pleasure: gathering everyone around the dining table in the Room, not just eating out. The kids love this Room too and are already asking to come back next time. We’d like to adjust our schedule early so we can stay here again next year.

The dining area was spacious, and the food was delicious—overall, it was very good. There were also a well-equipped arcade and shop, so we could enjoy ourselves even while staying inside the Hotel. It was also great that there was a nearby ropeway to Atami Castle. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Atami.

The new pool and beach sofas were indeed lovely, but the beach felt overly leveled by machinery, making it impossible to lie on the cool sand and stargaze, which was a bit disappointing. It was also unfortunate that the "Beauty Fermentation Course" (perfect for today's health-c

I visited with friends in March, and this time I came with my son’s family. The food is simply delicious, and even my five-year-old grandchild can have fun at the amusement park and inside the Hotel. Beer was available after bathing and during meals as well, which made my daughter-in-law very happy. The meals were excellent—both grilled Hamana Lake eel (kabayaki) and white-grilled eel (shirayaki) were so good that I ate far too much. I usually don’t eat seafood bowls elsewhere (because they’re not tasty), but for some reason I end up having them here. And the staff who prepare the food are very kind. Next time, I’d like to bring my daughter’s family too. The desserts made with local ingredients and the small dishes are also delicious. I don’t think there is any other Hotel buffet as good as this. The only problem is that I eat too much and gain weight. Even breakfast has great variety, and even the scrambled eggs taste wonderful. The shirasu and eel onigiri-style rice balls were very satisfying too. With four adults and one small child, it’s hard to deny that the room feels a bit small. But since a larger room would have doubled the price, we ended up trying to save money. Well, we only sleep there anyway. This may be a bit rambling, but considering the price, all I can say is thank you very much. If possible, I think a dry sauna would be better than the current one in the bath area.

At breakfast, we were able to enjoy piping-hot fried fugu and skewered fried items, and our whole family agreed on how delicious everything was. There was a garden-style bath as well as various other baths, which we really enjoyed. We would love to come again and take our time re

The entire accommodation features tatami flooring, providing a relaxing and calming atmosphere as soon as you step inside. The staff are very welcoming, making this an exceptional accommodation. There are rooms with open-air baths where you can enjoy bathing anytime while tak

We always enjoy staying here. This time, since it was raining, the view from the Room was a bit disappointing, but instead we were able to fully relax and enjoy a quiet, luxurious time in the lounge thanks to the warm hospitality of all the staff and the comfortable atmosphere. E

The room had a semi-open-air bath, and the Onsen water was silky and pleasant. We enjoyed soaking in the Onsen multiple times, feeling truly luxurious. The meals were delicious, and the whole family was very satisfied. We were completely full. Although it was cloudy and we coul

Perhaps because I enjoyed breathtaking sunsets during my previous visits, but even the gray sea and sky viewed from Aoi had their own unique charm and were mesmerizing. The room and meals were impeccable as always. Thank you for accommodating my allergies and food preferences ea

Thank you again for your warm hospitality, delicious meals, and wonderful baths. I truly appreciate your kindness in celebrating my friend’s birthday and for your thoughtful consideration regarding my husband’s sudden passing. Thank you very much. We will visit again with our family, and we look forward to seeing you.

The fire performance was fantastic! We also enjoyed a refreshing morning coffee on the terrace, which was a great way to start the day. Breakfast was classic and delightful. Please continue to preserve the traditions of this wonderful hotel. I look forward to visiting again

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. There was only one reason I came to Shirahama: To stay at Kuroshio Sou. When people think of Shirahama, many picture the sea and resorts. But what I found here was Wakayama itself. What moved me most at this Accommodation was not only how outstanding the food was. It was Head Chef Etani’s exceptional skill, and his deep respect for the producers who support every single dish. Fishermen. Farmers. Brewers. Roasters. And the artisans who continue to protect Japan’s fermentation culture. The moment I saw the map of producers introduced alongside the meal, I understood what this Accommodation truly values. Through the cuisine, you encounter not only ingredients, but also the people behind them and Wakayama’s climate and character. I was especially impressed by how delicious the soy sauce and Kinzanji miso were at dinner. When I asked about them, I learned they were from Horigawaya Nomura—a producer with over 350 years of history that still preserves traditional craftsmanship using firewood-heated iron kettles—making both their soy sauce and Kinzanji miso in that way today as well. I had originally planned to visit a different soy sauce brewery, but heavy rain made it impossible. Sometimes, the places you cannot reach end up guiding you to the story you were truly meant to find. For me, Kuroshio Sou was exactly that kind of place. The wonderful Onsen gently healed not only my body, but my mind as well. The quiet comfort throughout the building, Chef Etani’s cuisine, and the hospitality of all staff— together they quietly express this Accommodation’s philosophy in everything it does。 As a former chef from Tasmania, there is something I felt deeply: True hospitality is not just serving delicious food; it is helping guests connect with the people and culture that sustain a place。 I now have one more reason to return to Wakayama。 Thank you again from my heart.

I was truly impressed by a stay that exceeded all expectations in comfort! After feeling refreshed in the barrel sauna, I cooled down in the open-air jacuzzi. At night, I enjoyed the warm Onsen and then relaxed again in the jacuzzi. Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious—one amazing moment after another!! All of the staff were kind and attentive while keeping a comfortable distance, and they took great care of us. We could also enjoy a panoramic view of Mt. Fuji from reception, making it a soothing getaway surrounded by nature. The next day we visited the large public bath in the bathing facility, but unfortunately the weather was bad and we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji. Next time, I’m looking forward to unwinding in the sauna and enjoying some fresh-air relaxation while taking in Mt. Fuji’s magnificent view. My husband and I promised each other we’ll definitely return—and book a Multiple Night Stay. Until then, I’ll work hard (haha).

It truly has a resort view. Colorful flowers and greenery on the patio. Pure white sand and a blue sea at the beach. Orange sunsets. Beautiful lighting at night. You can enjoy it all from your Room and from anywhere on the property. The pool, indoor pool, and beach were all very

This was my first time staying here. An all-inclusive Hotel. There was a great variety of food and drinks in the lounge, and the dashi broth and burgers were especially delicious. The lounge on the upper floor had a calm atmosphere and was very nice. The bath, footbath, and buffet meals were all great. The tea ceremony experience, table tennis, board games, and video games were fun. If the weather had been better, I would have liked to play tennis. The whole-orange juice was delicious. Mt. Fuji after the typhoon passed was a spectacular view. We stayed for two nights and would like to stay again.

This was my fourth stay—I’m a repeat guest. I’m always comforted by the warm hospitality of the staff. I’m giving 4 stars because dinner felt less filling than before. I’d be happy if you could serve local fish. Breakfast was excellent, just as expected. I’d love to come again.

The sunset and the star-filled night sky were also amazing. You can walk to the underwater observatory. There is also a shuttle bus within the Hotel, which was very helpful for getting around the grounds. It’s a Hotel that made us want to come back for sure! We’re grateful for a

Arriving at the Hotel and being greeted with “Welcome back” makes me feel relieved every time. This time, I stayed for two nights and enjoyed a relaxing soak at Sukayu Onsen (the sulfur is excellent). I was also able to use the Hotel’s Onsen without it being crowded, which helped soothe both body and mind. Hakkoda Hotel is famous for its French cuisine, but the Japanese meals also reflect the chef’s dedication. Each visit brings new discoveries for both the eyes and the palate, and I always look forward to it. This time, they also accommodated my request regarding portion size, so I could enjoy everything deliciously while savoring it with both eyes and taste buds. The drink explanations (wine, etc.) were also thorough, which I appreciated. That said, since the dining area isn’t very large, I personally hope things remain calm enough to relax as they are now. I was impressed by how hard the new staff members are working, and the long-time staff continue to provide a reassuring sense of comfort. I plan to visit again in late autumn, and I look forward to seeing you then as well.

The room was spacious enough for three people, and our grandchild enjoyed running around freely in the ample space. The sunset view was stunning, and we could see our grandchild playing on the sandy beach along the sea—a truly wonderful room. We had both dinner and breakfast s
