The Room was clean, and we felt truly relaxed on the island. Since there was no return boat, you suggested a cruise on the first day instead, which got us excited from the start. The meals were delicious, and we were happy to enjoy plenty of drinks. We felt that one night wasn’t quite enough. The staff were also very kind.

Anyway, the meals were excellent. There was plenty of fresh fish, and the horaku-yaki I debated adding was also very delicious. The appetizers were varied and tasty, and the sea bream rice had a gentle seasoning and was great. Since I couldn’t finish it all, they made it into rice balls for me, which I enjoyed later as a late-night snack. Amazing value for money.

It’s best to think of it like staying in a private vacation home. The main guest Room feels like a king’s chamber. I gave that Room to the family with kids and my spouse and I stayed in the spare Room, but even that had more than enough Facility. The dining area allows shoes, but it’s spacious, so we hosted a dinner gathering with friends—it was very convenient. I brought extra kitchen items just in case anything was missing, but everything was there, including a rice cooker and toaster. Next time I’ll come empty-handed. There seems to be an area where you can do BBQ, but we couldn’t find a grill—maybe there isn’t one. If you want to BBQ, you’ll probably need to bring your own equipment. It’s right off the interchange, so the location is extremely convenient.\nWe’ll be back.
