I stayed one night at Seito in Tateyama and was able to truly relax both physically and mentally. The Accommodation had a calm, clean atmosphere, and the staff were courteous and attentive, which made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. From my room, I could see Tateyama’s gentle sea, and at sunset I found myself sitting by the window for quite a while just taking in the view. The meals featured plenty of local ingredients; in particular, the fish dishes were fresh and full of flavor, making the trip even more enjoyable. The semi-open-air bath was also perfect—the water temperature was just right, and it felt like my everyday fatigue slowly melted away. Overall, I felt this is an Accommodation with exceptionally high satisfaction for anyone who wants to spend time quietly. It was a stay that made me want to return in a different season.

I visited with my wife. Even in the rain, the staff waited for our arrival and came out to greet us with an umbrella. We were truly impressed by their thoughtful and warm hospitality. The meals were excellent, featuring Japanese cuisine made with plenty of fresh seafood from Chiba, as well as generous portions of meat and vegetables. Every dish was carefully prepared and delicious—I ended up eating more than I intended. The semi-open-air Onsen bath attached to our Room was also wonderful, and we were able to relax and enjoy the Onsen at our own pace without worrying about others. The food, Onsen, and service were all outstanding, allowing us to spend a peaceful time together as a couple. We would love to visit again.

I was able to take a weekday off for my regular hospital visit, so I stayed at a great rate. The sashimi and beef at dinner were excellent. I had a wonderful time listening to the sound of the waves. I wish I could have stayed for about two nights.\nBreakfast was also great—the omelet was outstanding. Thank you to all the staff for your very kind service.

We stayed with a group of five—close friends and family. It was the first weekend of August, and we arrived smoothly with no traffic on the way there. The place was spacious, very clean, and had a great atmosphere—we almost didn’t want to leave the Room, but since the ocean was right in front of us, we headed out. The waves were calm, making it perfect for a relaxing time by the sea. There are probably no beach huts or vending machines nearby, so we recommend bringing your own drinks and other essentials. In the evening we chatted while having a BBQ, then played games together at night—and slept soundly in our beds. The next morning we enjoyed Kamogawa Sea World before heading home. A fully serviced Hotel is comfortable too, but for groups who want to enjoy preparing everything themselves—with plenty of equipment provided—this place is ideal!

The front desk and staff welcomed us with warm smiles. The building is old, but it was very clean, with no unpleasant odors, so we had a comfortable stay. Best of all, even though it seemed like guests were staying next door, we didn’t hear any noise at all. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious with light seasoning. The all-you-can-drink option was included as well, making it an excellent value. We grilled turban shells and shrimp on the tabletop stove, and in the morning we grilled horse mackerel. We’d definitely like to come again!

We’ve stayed here as a family for three years in a row. In short, this cottage is wonderful in every way! They’ve also added a bicycle rental option starting this year, which made our stay even better. It’s easy to see why so many guests return. We’ll definitely be back again next year.

The Room is a bit old, but it is well cleaned and kept very tidy. The view of Nojimazaki Lighthouse is wonderful. The food was great, especially the event kushikatsu. It’s not quite restaurant-level dining, but there is an excellent selection of alcoholic drinks and snacks to enjoy with them. It’s easy to see why so many middle-aged and older groups stay here. You can really feel that the staff’s hard work helps maintain great value and quality. I know it must be tough, but I hope you keep up the good work. Of course, I’d like to stay again with my elderly parents.

Close to Chikura Beach, we went surfing in the morning, then after checking in at 3:00 PM, we enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi. In the evening, we took our time with a BBQ—it was a truly fulfilling stay.

Dinner was served buffet-style, and we were able to enjoy freshly grilled seafood at the table (scallops, clams, and turban shells). The buffet offered a great variety, so I think it’s something guests of all ages—from children to seniors—will enjoy. Breakfast was also buffet-style, with both rice and bread available. There were many side dishes as well, making it fun to choose. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Thank you very much.

Due to my daughter's work, we urgently searched for accommodation in Tateyama and stayed at Chikurakan. The wallpaper in the room was blue, but there were noticeable scratches and peeling here and there. A white color might give a cleaner impression. The futon was quite thin, making my body stiff. Also, the air conditioner stopped blowing air, and although a staff member fixed it for us, it only worked at 22 degrees Celsius, so we shivered through the night (laughs). As for the baths: the smaller one is 100% natural hot spring with lukewarm water; the larger one is 50% natural hot spring with hotter water. Alternating between them warmed up our bodies wonderfully. However, the steps of the smaller bath were slippery—many guests seemed to have dangerous slips. My daughter and I also hit our arms hard; this should be addressed somehow. For meals, we had a course that included spiny lobster along with abalone and large clams—all very delicious overall! The freshly cooked rice was also satisfying. Lastly, if I may add: all staff members lacked friendliness—they seemed to speak strictly according to manuals without conveying any sense of hospitality toward guests, which was disappointing.

Thank you for picking us up at the station—it was very helpful. The seafood dinner and kamameshi were incredibly delicious, and we ate a lot! The bath was wonderful, and the Room was spacious and very comfortable. The front desk staff were also kind and helpful.

The food was delicious, and the beachfront right in front of us was amazing.

Last year I stayed in the main building, but this year I tried the auberge. On the first day, after watching the sunrise at Inubosaki, I headed south along Sotobo through Katsuura and Kamogawa, visited Nojimazaki Lighthouse, stopped by Awa Shrine, and then returned to this Hotel. First, I relaxed in the scenic-view Onsen to ease my fatigue. Soaking in the bath with the vast Pacific Ocean right in front of me was a truly wonderful experience. Back in my Room, I enjoyed listening to music and reading, savoring a pace of time different from everyday life. One piece of good luck on this trip was having the teppanyaki dinner entirely to myself as a private booking. I enjoyed a delicious meal while chatting pleasantly with the chef and staff. The dishes were carefully selected with a focus on local ingredients, and they were also beautiful to look at. Another bit of good luck was being able to see the sunrise the next morning. The forecast had been cloudy with occasional rain, so I had given up on it—but when I woke up, it was clear. I hurried to the scenic-view Onsen to wait for sunrise and saw it right at the time indicated by the Hotel’s guidance. It made for an incredibly refreshing morning. I could also enjoy breakfast buffet-style in a private room at a relaxed pace—maybe I ate a little too much. On my way home, I headed north along Uchibo and ended up making a full loop around the Boso Peninsula. I would definitely like to visit again when I have another chance.

My parents, both over 80, love crab, so we visited mainly for the crab buffet. The meals were great—not only the crab, but also a wide variety of dishes, especially at breakfast. The bath was also wonderful; it was nice to soak in a hinoki bath. We requested a Japanese-style Room plus an additional 4.5-tatami area, but the 4.5-tatami space was located right by the Room entrance and wasn’t very usable, which was disappointing. In that case, a standard Japanese-style Room would have been fine. All staff were cheerful, kind, and pleasant. The baths also seemed to have been renovated or renewed, and it felt like the Hotel is making a strong effort overall, which I appreciated. This time we were able to use a coupon on Yahoo Travel and I think we probably got the best price available. When I explained that we were traveling with two elderly guests, they kindly arranged a Room with easy access to both the bath and dining area, which we truly appreciated.

Stayed here in August to fully enjoy fishing. The air conditioner was on upon arrival, which was a refreshing surprise and showed the owner's thoughtfulness. The accommodation has 4 rooms, with separate bath and toilet facilities. There is also a toilet on the second floor. Cooking utensils, appliances, playing cards, and more were provided, making it easy to enjoy drinks we bought for the evening. With the fishing port right in front of us, we could go fishing on foot. Although summer fishing was challenging, it was great for casting practice. Looking forward to staying again in autumn or winter!

I was looking for a place where we could have a BBQ, and this was perfect because everything was provided—we only needed to bring the ingredients. Partway through our stay, we were hit by a sudden torrential downpour and had to cancel the BBQ, so we cooked and ate in the Room kitchen instead. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils, which really helped. The Room was clean, and we were able to relax and take it easy. Thank you very much. We were surprised to run into frogs and crabs outside!

The hospitality was exceptional. The warm personalities of the owner couple made this accommodation incredibly comfortable. Of course, the food was delicious, especially the seafood personally caught by the owner, which was unmatched in freshness. One thing I thought would be nice to have is a laundry basket under the sink. I am very grateful for their kindness.

I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities and services, which exceeded my expectations. We stayed as a group of six, and the space was more than sufficient. The interior had a log cabin style, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Being deep in the mountains, we could enjoy BBQ without worrying much about noise and had a stress-free stay. The owner kindly assisted us with shuttle service, starting the BBQ fire, taking group photos, and more, making us feel very welcomed. I would love to stay here again. Thank you so much!

We stayed as a family of three (a couple and our son). Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The dishes were beautifully prepared, including local ingredients. The drinks were also great—we wish we had enjoyed them a bit more. The atmosphere with the cats was lovely. We also enjoyed walking around the area, and we were lucky to have good weather. Driving access was a little difficult during the last 10 minutes.
