The location was outstanding above all else. The in-room bath was an Onsen, and the view was so incredible that I could have stayed in it forever without wanting to leave. The Room was a perfect size and felt very clean. The meals were excellent, and I was very satisfied with both breakfast and dinner. There wasn’t any particular dress code inside the property, and it was fine to dine in loungewear, which made for a very relaxing stay. We joined the optional stargazing guide tour, but unfortunately Mt. Onidake—the planned observation spot—was covered by clouds so we couldn’t observe there. However, the guide quickly took us to another location, and we were able to see a wonderful starry sky. We enjoyed the Milky Way and summer constellations with the naked eye. The only disappointing thing was that there was a used tissue left in the pocket of the loungewear provided in our Room—apparently from a previous guest. I wonder if they didn’t check the pockets during cleaning… I also became curious about other Onko Chishin properties, so I went ahead and signed up for membership (lol).

The skip-floor Room was very comfortable. Being able to have up to five people in one Room, and also sleep in separate areas, made it perfect for a three-generation trip. We had breakfast at the Accommodation and ate lunch and dinner at restaurants on the island. The Hotel’s breakfast and dinner are set menus, but given the island location that seems unavoidable. Breakfast had a gentle flavor, used local island ingredients, and was delicious. We also rented a car from the Hotel, so they provided Shuttle Service to the airport, and the snacks in the Room were so good that we bought some to take home. We borrowed a desk lamp for our child’s summer homework, and having a washing machine in the Room was convenient as well. Our child didn’t want to swim so we didn’t go into the sea, but the beach in front of the Hotel was beautiful, and there was also a spot where you could lie down at night and watch the stars. It felt like quiet countryside reminiscent of Okinawa’s remote islands, but if we have another chance to visit, I’d like to stay in the South Wing with an ocean view right in front of us.
