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.

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 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.

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!

I love the ocean and was looking for a Resort Hotel where I could truly relax on my first day off in a while. This Hotel is in an amazing location with the blue Pacific Ocean stretching out right in front of you. Spending time in a beautifully furnished Room—lying back on the fluffy, spacious canopy bed, listening to the waves at leisure, and watching the sparkling sunrise—was pure luxury and bliss. The kind Hotel staff also shared great local food recommendations in Chikura and suggested places to visit—I’m truly grateful. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back!
