Kasumi × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

At first, the parking area felt a bit scary. There are wheel stops, but if you come in with too much speed, it feels like you could end up in the river. There were three private baths, all a good size. If they were available, we could use them as much as we wanted, and one of the private baths even had a sauna. Amenities are the type you take what you need to your Room, and there was a wide variety. After bathing, they also had ice cream and black soybean tea available. Since it’s all-inclusive, drinks were set out on both the 1st and 2nd floors, which was convenient. On the 2nd floor where the Rooms are, there were two massage chairs that we could use freely. Dinner was a white squid course; it wasn’t live squid so it wasn’t at its sweetest, but there was still sweetness—and for two people it was more than enough quantity (half might have been plenty). We came for nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), and we assumed one fish for two people, so we were surprised that each person got one. It was delicious. The Room was very clean, and the whole Ryokan smelled wonderful. Even though winter is crab season—and I expected everything to smell like crab—it felt very refined with a pleasant woody scent instead. There are no windows so don’t expect any views; however, the space with the sofa (with TV), bed, and washbasin area is very comfortable. The downside is that you can’t tell what the weather is like outside. But if you’re looking to enjoy an escape focused on eating and relaxing indoors, that may not be a bad thing. Breakfast was excellent across the board—the rice cooked in an earthenware pot was great, and so was the mirin-dried horse mackerel. On our way out we also tried grinding coffee with a stone mill for ourselves for once again enjoyed truly good coffee after a long time.

Everything was comfortable. The staff, lobby, meals, Room, and bath were all clean and relaxing. The meals were thoughtfully prepared, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. However, it would have been even better if there had been a dinner menu. At other places I’ve stayed, they compile the menus into a file for easy reference. The illustrated breakfast menu was great. I quickly framed it with my watermelon eraser stamp and displayed it in my living room. It looks wonderful in the frame.

The views from the window—an unmanned station and the sea—were beautiful, and we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. Every dish was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed the crab and shrimp. The Accommodation was quiet throughout, with a soothing atmosphere that made time feel as if it were gently passing by, allowing us to forget everyday life and truly unwind. It’s an Accommodation I’d love to visit again in a different season.

We stayed with my sister’s family and our parents, bringing three children. Even though it was summer vacation and the children’s rates were very affordable, the kids’ dinner set was very generous, and the children were thrilled! We also appreciated being able to use the bath 24 hours a day, and above all, dinner was absolutely delicious! The portions were huge, and we were completely full. Thank you very much!

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.

We enjoyed plenty of delicious crab! The calm environment and tasty crab made for a satisfying experience. Thank you for your kind hospitality.

This was my first time staying here, and thank you very much for your thoughtful care in every detail. The Room was very clean, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. It was so pleasant that I naturally felt like, “I should leave it clean when I go.” Thanks to you, I was able to refresh both body and mind, and I left feeling truly energized. Thank you for such a wonderful time. I would love to stay again next time, and I look forward to it.

I stayed at Kuroshio for the first time through a friend's recommendation. I truly appreciated the warm hospitality of the owner and staff. The crab hot pot dinner was incredibly delicious. This is a Ryokan I would love to visit again next year.

Plenty of crab, delicious breakfast, and very satisfying. The Onsen was nice, though a bit small.

Red Snow Crab Course: Sashimi, grilled, boiled, tempura, and hot pot—so much food that you'll be completely full. It's amazing how much volume 2.5 crabs provide. Very satisfying. The bath is an Onsen and feels great, though the slight chlorine smell was a bit noticeable. The Room was a spacious 5-person room used by just 2 people. However, being on the first floor meant poor views, and the lack of a refrigerator in the room was slightly disappointing.

This was a well-deserved trip to celebrate my retirement, and the hospitality was outstanding. I carefully researched in advance, and it truly paid off. The crab was exactly as promised—1.5 servings of the real thing. Without me asking, the young proprietress noticed my build and changed my yukata to the right size. The Onsen could be reserved for private use, so I could relax at ease. I’d love to come back next year for another crab feast!

We searched for an Accommodation to go eat rock oysters! Seven rock oyster dishes & live squid sashimi. It was absolutely amazing. Boiled crab was included too, with a three-item platter. Appetizer: such a huge volume we couldn’t finish it all. Dote hot pot and fresh oyster spring rolls—menus we’d never had before, and we really enjoyed them. Everything gets top marks except that there wasn’t a refrigerator in the Room. The staff were also very kind, great value and delicious! We want to come again.

We stayed here during a beach trip. All the staff greeted us with kind smiles throughout our stay. The building was very clean and spotless. The bath was also very relaxing. We stayed in a Room with a private bath, and both the bathroom and toilet were very clean. The meals were luxurious with many dishes, and we were completely full. Since we stayed with our child, we were able to enjoy fireworks at night. They provide a fireworks gift, and you can borrow a bucket and a lighter. Breakfast was delicious as well, and we enjoyed coffee after the meal and spent an elegant time until check-out. The free massage chairs and water in the lobby were also very helpful. Small creatures (like tree frogs and crabs) sometimes visit near the Ryokan entrance, which delighted our children. We made wonderful memories to start our summer vacation. Thank you very much.

The four of us stayed with breakfast included. The food was delicious, and the owner and all the staff provided excellent service—thank you for your heartfelt hospitality. In addition, thank you for driving us from Kasumi to Toyooka on a morning of heavy snowfall.

By chance, a room became available due to a cancellation, and I was able to make a reservation. The accommodation cost was so cheap that it made me a bit anxious. I went to eat crab, and since the price was low, I wondered if the portion would be small, but I was surprised by the amount. I had crab sashimi for the first time. I was amazed at how delicious it was. Grilled crab, steamed crab, crab shabu-shabu, all were delicious and the best. Also, the crab rice for breakfast was delicious. I will definitely go every year!

All the meals—breakfast and dinner—are delicious, including the crab dishes and everything else! The crab tempura is also highly recommended (available as an additional order). If you’re looking for great crab cuisine, I truly recommend this place—it’s the best I’ve ever had! The young owner and hostess are very kind as well. There are three private baths, all Onsen, perfect for relaxing. The samue loungewear is a nice touch too. It’s very popular so it can be hard to get a Reservation, but I’ll definitely be back. Thank you very much!

For the past decade or so, we have been taking a crab trip to Kasumi-Shibayama about once a year, and compared with places we stayed in the past, this Accommodation was higher quality and very satisfying. As it is a small Accommodation with only three Rooms, you can’t expect much beyond the quality of the Room and meals, but it is an Accommodation I can recommend. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
