Around Kimi Ka Beach × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

A reliably solid Route Inn.\nWith a spacious public bath, I often stay here when traveling. No complaints except that the bath was a bit hot.

Last time I only had breakfast, but after hearing great reviews from locals, I tried dinner for the first time—this time it was an oden set meal with braised pork. I noticed this last time as well: the ladle was left in the miso soup pot, which felt unhygienic. Also, the heat from the soup keeps the ladle hot, making it hard to hold and difficult to pour. Sorry for focusing so much on food—it's part of the joy of traveling, so I hope this is helpful. I took a detour to the mouth of the Tone River before checking in; Choshi Ohashi Bridge was truly impressive. The convenience store looks close but is actually a bit far, so it would be nice if there were vending machines inside offering light snacks and sweets. The sincerity of your front desk staff is truly one of a kind.

I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days on a solo travel Plan, combining it with work. The best part was the meals. The sashimi and the Western-style dishes the next day were wonderfully varied, and I was very satisfied. I was also very pleased with the staff’s attentiveness. However, due to my work needs, I preferred a Room with an additional separate space, and I truly appreciated that you kindly accommodated my request by changing it for an additional fee. I think this is a very good Hotel. I will stay again. Thank you.

I made a Reservation because the station is close and convenient, and the price was relatively low. The building has a 1990s look, and some of that atmosphere—and a few worn areas—remain in the shared spaces, but the hallways and Rooms have been properly renovated and are clean. We stayed in a Japanese-style Room. I was surprised that the bath was a unit bath, but the Facility was more than sufficient and we had no issues. Amenities are available at the amenity corner on the first floor, where each guest takes what they need. Although it wasn’t specifically mentioned in the Hotel information, they also provide convenient loungewear similar to a hospital gown. Breakfast is not a buffet; you can choose either a Japanese or Western set meal. The Japanese set had plenty of food, with properly prepared dishes such as simmered fish. It felt much better than the rough buffets at other Business Hotels that simply line up pre-made or retort foods. They responded politely to both my email questions and phone calls. We used this Hotel for a family trip, and since it was very reasonably priced, we were able to enjoy fresh seafood in Choshi in luxury the next day with the money we saved. If I have another chance, I would like to stay again.

When I arrived at the Hotel, I was surprised by how old the exterior looked, but I pulled myself together and checked in. The lobby was filled with all kinds of quirky decorations—toys, masks, stuffed animals, and countless clocks that were each slightly out of sync—making it feel like I had wandered into another dimension. The guest room also felt dated, but it was kept clean and tidy. Best of all, the Pacific Ocean stretched out right in front of me; with Inubosaki Lighthouse to the left and the sound of waves close by, it offered an outstanding ocean view. The baths also included an open-air bath that felt seamlessly connected to the sea, which was very relaxing. The meals were thoughtfully prepared and satisfying. There are several library rooms inside the Hotel, well stocked with a huge selection of manga magazines, collected volumes, and general books—I could even lose myself in reading while looking out at the ocean. “Chospo” (Choshi Sports) was also an entertaining newspaper. It’s not a place you’d call spotless or modern, but in its own way it feels stylish—a unique Hotel where you can enjoy something out of the ordinary.

The Hotel staff were very kind and attentive. The meals were delicious and served in generous portions. We were extremely satisfied with our stay at this Hotel!

I decided to go because it felt wasteful to cancel during the typhoon. The rain was intense. The table tennis area had serious leaks, with a large bucket placed there, which made me a bit uneasy. However, there were no leaks in the Room, and I was able to relax. The food was delicious, and the staff were kind with great smiles. The only inconvenience was having to go down to the first floor every time to smoke—I wish there had been a smoking area on each floor, or a Room where e-cigarettes are allowed. Thank you very much.

Although it was a No Meals Included stay, the building had a great atmosphere and the amenities were of good quality. I didn’t use the bath, but there are Onsen nearby, so I was able to enjoy one along with a meal without any issues. I think Togawa offered more of the fishing port town experience than Choshi. I’d like to visit again.

The service, food, and the view from the Room were all excellent, but it was disappointing that there was no hot water, including in the Room shower and amenities. I think you should consider changing the type of toothpaste.

We planned this trip to visit a restaurant that is only open on weekends and public holidays. While looking for a nearby Ryokan, we noticed the radon bath and “Arashi no Yu,” and decided to stay here. We made a Reservation for three adults on the standard course. Dinner was generous, with simmered local fish, grilled dishes, tempura, and more. The simmered flounder was especially delicious with white rice. Breakfast was also classic Japanese—grilled fish, vinegared dishes, kinpira, and more. The white rice paired perfectly with everything. “Arashi no Yu” is different from both a stone spa and a sauna. Lying down on the floor covered with small stones made us sweat heavily; sweat poured out from our pores and left our skin smooth. Unlike a typical stone spa, the pebbles provide comfortable cushioning so you can lie down easily. In the radon bath area, the bathing room and tub are separated so the steam collects around the tub. We kept sweating even while soaking, and even after getting out we stayed warm for a long time. Both “Arashi no Yu” and the radon bath can make you feel very tired at first, but we slept deeply until morning and enjoyed truly restful sleep. Smooth skin, warm body, refreshed awakening—our fatigue melted away. It felt like toxins were released along with the sweat! The proprietress recommended karaoke after dinner; singing on a stage with full sound equipment was great fun. The staff’s thoughtful attention to detail was excellent throughout. This is a Ryokan we would love to stay at again next time. The restaurant we came for was 5 minutes away by car; we were able to get an early number ticket and enjoy lunch without any trouble.

We stayed as a group of five with our dog and grandparents. My husband felt there was a bit of a dog smell, but it didn’t bother me. As it’s new, it felt very clean, and the area around the beds was excellent. If I had to mention something, it would be that you can’t watch regular TV. The projector is nice, but it makes moving back and forth to the kitchen a bit inconvenient. There is a sofa, but since it’s quite high, it’s not ideal for relaxing with a small dog. I also wish there had been some space on the floor where we could sit and eat casually. The morning foot bath was very pleasant. The dog run was great for small dogs—not too big (in a good way).
