We were lucky to have clear weather between the rainy-season showers and enjoyed a breathtaking view. We could also tell that everyone in charge of meal service, led by the young proprietress, worked with genuine hospitality. When we checked out and drove away, they waved until w

The Wi-Fi in the room was not very good, which was the only disappointment. Other than that, the room was clean and nice.

The staff were very courteous, dinner offered a wide variety of dishes, and the spacious bath was enjoyable. If I had to mention one thing, rice and miso soup were served at the end of the meal, which felt a bit heavy after finishing the other dishes. That said, the rice was very tasty and there was a great selection of side dishes, so I think it offers excellent value for money. It might have been available if we had asked, but it would have been nice to have a haori jacket.

We stayed here during our visit to Saitama Children's Zoo with our 2-year-old son. Although we checked in much later than planned, the staff provided a very accommodating response over the phone. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed at both the parking lot entrance and the hotel entrance, which was especially touching given the harsh cold weather. The onsen in the annex had its outdoor bath closed due to freezing conditions, but the indoor bath had excellent water quality. The washing area felt slightly chilly though. I took my son to enjoy the panoramic bath on the 12th floor of the hotel, where baby soap was thoughtfully provided—this was incredibly helpful! The room was clean and well-maintained; we had requested a Hollywood twin bed setup in advance, and they kindly accommodated this request as well. The hospitality truly stood out as exceptional! While I felt that breakfast could use some improvement, considering its cost-performance ratio and overall experience, it was a very pleasant stay. Thank you so much!

The price, service, and facilities were all very satisfying. We visited with our 3-year-old son and used the private bath for 45 minutes, which offered an amazing view. It made us strongly want to visit again. The room we stayed in did not have a bath or shower, and some amenities were paid as mentioned beforehand, so we had no complaints during our stay. The service was excellent, and we are very happy to have found such a great accommodation.

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.

Although it seems far from the station, it’s not an issue if you’re driving. We stayed without any particular complaints, and it felt like good value for money. There’s a convenience store next door, and you can walk to Yamato Sushi for dinner. In the morning, we recommend taking a walk across Naka-no-shima Bridge.

Since I was traveling by train, it was really helpful that it was close to the station. The Room was compact but very comfortable, and even though the bed was a single, it felt a bit larger! The meals were also very delicious. Even though it was May, the Room was very hot and I tried to turn on the air conditioner, but it wouldn’t start. It was my first time needing to insert a stick at the entrance to turn on the main power, so the front desk staff showed me how. The sunset view from the window was beautiful. It was a quiet and very nice Accommodation!

After visiting Ise Jingu from Tokyo, we stayed here. The Hotel is close to Kumano Sanzan and located by the Pacific Ocean. The staff were all wonderful, and the dinner featuring fresh tuna bowl, whale sashimi, and Tatsuta-age was exquisite. At the nearby Whale Museum, we had a rare experience feeding and touching whales. This clean and lovely Hotel offers a luxurious breakfast accompanied by live piano music. We stayed for two nights, enjoying the slow pace of time in Taiji Town—a place filled with whale and dolphin monuments—and hoped that this traditional fishing culture continues for generations to come. We truly want to visit again! Thank you to all the Hotel staff for your hospitality! Highly recommended Hotel for everyone!

The seafood was delicious. The meal came with a whole crab and was very filling. The sashimi was also excellent, and our whole family was very satisfied. We enjoyed breakfast while looking out at the sea. The private sauna is also highly recommended!

I stayed here for a trip to Mt. Tsukuba Shrine, the Omido pilgrimage, and the Makabe Hina Festival. I also used the private bath, and both the Room and bath were great. This time I booked with breakfast only (no dinner), but breakfast was served in a half-buffet style and the rice was delicious. Next time I’d like to stay with two meals included. Some Reviews mentioned that the toilet is small, but the Room was very clean and nice. I’d like to stay again. Thank you very much.

It was very clean and comfortable! The meals were delicious, and we had a pleasant stay. Please note that the toilet and washbasin are located outside the Room, and bathing is available only in the large public bath (15:00–23:00), so it may not be suitable for those who want a morning bath or shower. There is an ice machine and a microwave on the floor. Also, the refrigerator includes a freezer compartment, which was helpful for freezing ice packs.

It was my first trip to Wakasa, and I made the booking after watching the weather closely. Part of the first-floor area was under construction, but it was kept clean and left a good impression. The Room was very spacious and comfortable. The view from the window was the sea. Given its age, some signs of wear are understandable. Overall, it felt like a quiet and pleasant Hotel. The meals were plentiful, and I thought they tasted great. Next time, I’d like to stay again when traveling to Mikata Five Lakes with my siblings and their spouses.

We stayed here for the first time for my wife’s birthday. The Facility is old, but that can’t be helped. The Room was exactly what we requested and was well cleaned. The bed firmness was just right, and we slept well. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The Onsen was great, but it was disappointing that one of the shower stations had weak water pressure. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. We would like to stay again.

Our family trip with seven people was very relaxing. We also brought two dogs, and they had plenty of space to run around. Since we weren’t sure about the local garbage disposal rules, we did basic sorting and left the rest to the host. We’d love to stay again next time.

Thanks to the warm smiles and hospitality of the staff, we were able to relax from the moment we arrived. We were impressed by how efficiently our meals were prepared. It was far, far better than in-room dining at a Hotel. The shabu-shabu and the morning sandwiches were outstanding. In a wonderful Room with views of Okinawa’s nature and the sea, our family was able to spend an amazing time together. Soaking in the bath at a leisurely pace while taking in the ocean, greenery, and birdsong left a lasting impression on us. We had been told there might be insects, but perhaps due to the strong wind and temperatures, we hardly saw any during our stay. If we have another chance, we would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay here. I was very satisfied with the Premium Room and the seafood beach barbecue. I would like to stay again.

The Facility was clean, and I was happy that the air conditioner was already on, so the Room felt cool when we arrived. With this kind of Hotel, I expected we’d have to turn on the air conditioner ourselves after checking in, so it was a pleasant surprise! However, the response when insects appeared... I don’t mind handling it ourselves, but I wish insect spray had been left in the Room.

I’ve stayed here about 100 nights since last year and have really liked it, but this was the first time I truly felt the downside of having no front desk. The air conditioner remote’s batteries were dead, and the batteries had an expiration date of 2024. At night, it wouldn’t turn on. When I swapped in the TV remote’s batteries, it worked. I told the housekeeping staff the next day; they didn’t seem to have spare batteries, so they replaced the remote with one from another room.

Although the building has a retro feel that reflects its age, the rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. The beach within walking distance is quiet and uncrowded—an ideal spot for a relaxing stroll while listening to the waves. While there aren’t many restaurants nearby, the Chinese restaurant right next door is open until 21:30, and it’s a plus to enjoy generous portions at reasonable prices. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet stay with great value for money!
