Local ingredients, down to the porcini mushrooms and even the salt Home-style cooking and service by the whole family A former shipyard right on the beach The sound of the waves A price that wouldn’t be surprising even if it were double. It was a wonderful night. Dinner is served to just three parties at this inn with only three rooms. You might imagine a quiet, lonely atmosphere—but what filled the space was lively conversation. “It’s the Mid-Autumn Moon tonight, so we’ll dim the lights,” said the mother. When she opened the door, you could hear waves loud enough to rival any background music; beyond the terrace, moonlight shimmered on the sea, with fishing boats’ lights in the distance. On our table were various handmade dishes prepared by the whole family. Everyone moved cheerfully between kitchen and dining room, while happy conversations flowed among guests. The father’s Japanese cuisine—after training at a long-established sushi restaurant near Akebonobashi and running a sushi minshuku in Kamogawa with his wife for over 30 years—and French dishes from their son, who returned home after 11 years of training at Hotel New Otani. Even the porcini mushrooms were locally sourced. “Destination restaurant” may be today’s buzzword, but for me this place suits me better—and makes me want to come back more—than certain well-known spots deep in Toyama’s mountains or in Nirasaki. Reservations are easy to get, and it’s only a 90-minute drive from central Tokyo.

As soon as we entered the Room, we were amazed by the view! The ocean was right in front of us! The balcony was so relaxing, and we spent our time enjoying the sweeping panorama and listening to the sound of the waves. At night especially, the moonlight reflecting on the sea was

It was a wonderful, very quiet Onsen Accommodation with a great sense of privacy. As it has only been a little over four years since opening, all the Facilities are new and feel very pleasant. The open-air bath had water that warmed us through to the core, and we enjoyed it many times. The seafood-focused meals were delicious for both dinner and breakfast, and the portions were just right for us. Nothing overly elaborate—just gentle dishes that highlight the quality of the ingredients. The spiny lobster in particular was excellent among the sashimi. The staff member who looked after us was also very kind, making our stay extremely comfortable. Thank you very much. Since it’s not far from central Tokyo, we would love to visit again.

We stayed at the official Hotel of Kamogawa Sea World, so we joined the nighttime aquarium tour!! Only guests staying at the official Hotel can participate, so we really enjoyed it! Both dinner and breakfast were buffet-style, delicious, and a lot of fun! We especially enjoyed the orca show and the white beluga show!! It’s an aquarium we definitely want to visit again!

We stayed for two nights as a family. As this is glamping within a golf facility, it’s set on beautifully maintained lawns, and we were able to relax very comfortably—almost like staying at a Hotel. Even though it was summer, insects didn’t bother us much. We did notice a slight vinyl-like smell from the tent, but the interior was spacious, with two air-conditioning units and adjustable lighting, so it was very comfortable. The bathrooms were also very clean, which made it reassuring for women as well. The Italian meals were excellent and very generous in portion size. We stayed for two nights, and they changed the menu for us; everything was delicious. I can’t go into details, but they were also considerate of our picky-eating son—I felt sorry to trouble them—but we truly appreciated their thoughtful attention. Because it’s all-inclusive, I was disappointed that I don’t drink alcohol, but my husband does and seemed extremely satisfied being able to enjoy a variety of drinks without hesitation. We couldn’t make it to bar time due to our schedule, but it sounded like there was a great selection and we would have loved to try it. There is some distance between the clubhouse where you dine and the tent where you stay. Shuttle Service is generally provided, but if you want to walk instead, please note that walking may not be allowed during certain hours (possibly for safety reasons). At night, it was lovely to stroll from the clubhouse back to the tent while looking up at the sky. There’s also a “German Village” within driving distance; we enjoyed activities like putter golf with our children. We didn’t overpack our schedule and spent two relaxing days—making wonderful memories.

We stayed at Kamogawa 919, a traditional house sauna Accommodation, as a group with friends. First of all, the atmosphere was stylish and welcoming. While preserving the charm of an old traditional home, it was also very clean and comfortable. The sauna we had been looking forward to was an authentic wood-fired sauna—something you rarely get to experience in central Tokyo. The gentle, enveloping heat unique to firewood felt wonderful, and being able to enjoy löyly ourselves was another highlight. After working up a good sweat, we relaxed outdoors while watching the beautiful sunset from the veranda. Listening to birdsong and feeling the natural breeze as we unwound was pure bliss—it instantly melted away everyday fatigue. In the evening, we cooked together using fresh local ingredients we had bought nearby and enjoyed a laid-back time with drinks in hand. Spending time chatting with like-minded friends was truly special—a luxurious experience you can’t easily find in the city. Surrounded by nature, we were able to fully enjoy the sauna, meals, and time with friends. It was an outstanding Accommodation that refreshed both body and mind. We’d love to stay again.

I found this property while looking for a Room close to the ocean with an ocean view from the Room. The view, spaciousness, and cleanliness were all wonderful, and we also got to enjoy BBQ and the sauna—it was an amazing stay. Since I had mentioned in advance that we were staying for my girlfriend’s birthday, they arranged balloons for us on the day, and even prepared a bottle of white wine. She was truly delighted. The BBQ portion was far more than you’d expect for two people—we were completely satisfied. Both the vegetables and meat were delicious. There were also yakisoba noodles and marshmallows. It was great that we could use the hot plate outside as well. Since it was summer there were quite a few insects, but insect spray and repellent were provided, which we really appreciated. For the sauna, we could set the temperature ourselves, and we could also prepare a cold plunge bath right in front of it—so refreshing. Having men’s shorts and a women’s gown available was very helpful too. The self löyly was incredible. The Room felt open and airy with a perfect view, and the cohesive style—from the furniture to the wall art—was lovely. You can see the ocean from both the bath and the Room. You can see stars as well. It was so comfortable that it made me want to live here. That said, perhaps because pets are allowed, there were one or two spots where I noticed a slight odor. Checkout is at 11:00, which gave us plenty of time in the morning—we enjoyed our stay comfortably until the very end. Check-in is at 15:00; if it were possible to arrive a bit earlier it would be absolutely perfect (though I understand cleaning needs to be done). We stayed as a couple this time, but I think it would be great for larger groups too. We will definitely stay again—thank you very much.

Prompt and courteous response to inquiries after the Reservation ◯ The manager's cheerful and kind service ◯ Cleanliness, spaciousness, and view of the Facility ◯ We had a pleasant stay in a comfortable space. The scenery from the garden and Room was truly beautiful. The only downsides were the water pressure in the shower room and unstable Wi-Fi, but everything else was perfect. The amenities were also well-equipped. We would love to use this place again. Thank you very much!

We had a wonderful time. Thank you for your flexible support. We would like to stay again.

Your thoughtful hospitality was wonderful, and we felt right at home! Everything we could have wanted was provided, so we were able to relax and enjoy our time freely without being tied to any plans. Thank you. Our two older children also had a great time with the manga and table games. The bathroom was spacious and very relaxing. Our daughter, who prefers showers, was happy she could quickly take a shower as well. Buu-chan the cat was absolutely adorable. We’d love to stay again. Thank you very much!
