Katsuura Station × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

We’re repeat guests! This time, our whole family stayed to celebrate my mother’s 88th birthday. Since we told you in advance, you even prepared a special 88th-birthday outfit and took commemorative photos for us—thank you so much. One disappointment was that solar panels had been installed where the dog run used to be, so it had become much smaller than before. Still, your heartfelt hospitality and delicious meals always make us feel at ease, and my mother was very happy, so it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

We searched for a well-reviewed Onsen with an ocean view and decided to stay here. From check-in to being shown to our Room, and even during meals, the staff always served us with a smile, making our stay very pleasant. The meals were very luxurious and absolutely delicious. The ocean-view terrace was also beautiful, and we were able to relax at our leisure. This is a Facility we would love to visit again.

It was our first time staying here. The ocean view from the Room was breathtaking. It was also great to watch the surfers having fun out on the waves. We brought two dogs with us, and they seemed to enjoy it as well. The staff were kind and helpful. Next time, we’d like to stay again with a two-meal plan. Thank you.

Last time, we stayed in January of last year. Even in the freezing cold, having a BBQ while sitting under the kotatsu on the balcony was so much fun. This time, we returned at the end of summer with our senior dog. It was the best season, and we fully enjoyed the black-water Onsen both indoors and in the large public bath. The staff’s greetings as we passed by, their willingness to help when we needed it, and the front desk team’s smiles and efficient guidance were even more pleasant than before. The thorough cleanliness may also be thanks to considerate guests… Wherever you go, you can truly feel how comfortable it is. This Accommodation keeps evolving for the better every day, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

A hidden gem at our breakfast restaurant is the Fisherman's Bowl, also known as Mago Chazuke. Served in a special bowl with half a portion of white rice, namero (minced fish), shirasu (whitebait), pickled plum, grated yam, shredded seaweed, wasabi, and dashi broth. Perfect for those looking to replenish salt and energy during summer fatigue—give it a try! Enjoy it with the scent of the sea and ocean breeze! We have a suggestion: how about offering an "Ahi Creative Tuna Bowl" during lunchtime someday? GINGER or SPICY Ahi bowls are extremely popular in Hawaii. We believe it would be perfect for SAYAN's lunch menu and could become a hit dish. You can compare it to OFF THE HOOK or MAGURO SPOT—Ono!! Announcement! September is the best time to visit our accommodation. Summer isn't over yet! On September 13th and 20th, we will host Surfing Meetings 2025. The package includes surfing lessons and lunch at Sayan Terrace for ¥6000—a deal you can't miss. See you soon! MAHALO!

Since there was no air conditioning, it was too hot to stay inside until the evening, but it was cool and comfortable at night. The toilet is a little far away, but it was clean. It’s dark on the way to the bath, so a headlamp is useful to have. The BBQ hamburgers were delicious.

The food was outstanding. For dinner, the splendid alfonsino, abalone, and spiny lobster were all delicious, and the portions were more than we could finish. Breakfast was also excellent—the spiny lobster miso soup was especially tasty. The relaxation room offered free ice cream and coffee, as well as electric massage chairs. While the exterior and some common areas were not very clean, the guest rooms and dining area had been renovated.

We happened to stay right when the pool opened, but unfortunately the weather was terrible and we couldn’t swim. What a shame! Still, we were very satisfied with the Room atmosphere and the course meal, and we were able to relax thoroughly. We’ve visited Harvest in Nasu and Hakone (Sengokuhara), but it’s a pity that Katsuura doesn’t have an open-air bath. Sorry for being picky. We’ll be back again.

This was our first stay. With the ocean right in front of us and a pool to enjoy, it became an unforgettable memory. The kids especially loved the night pool. The next morning we had an early breakfast and headed out first thing; there were many different shops and we had a great time. After that, we tried On the Sea and enjoyed the beach and pool until lunchtime. We accidentally left something behind, but it was found the next day and mailed to us. We are truly grateful for your kind and attentive support right up to the very end. It was a wonderful family trip. Thank you so much! We would love to stay again.

With a room-only stay, it’s comfortable to buy delicious fresh fish and vegetables at Inageya and Jokamachi Market in Otaki and enjoy them in your room.\nThe room is also spacious and comfortable.

Unfortunately, a typhoon was approaching, so it rained the entire time and we couldn’t go out onto the lawn or other outdoor areas, but the meals were delicious and the Room was spacious and relaxing. The staff were also very helpful, and we were satisfied.

The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. They patiently explained things I didn’t understand, and even made me coffee. Thank you very much. Regarding the Facility, while business Hotels generally don’t offer this, it would be helpful to have something in the Room to hang laundry when washing small items that don’t need to be taken to a coin laundry.

Although it was a basement Room, I was surprised by the high quality. The bathroom and toilet had a sophisticated design and felt very clean. I wished there had been a place to hang wet towels. It’s conveniently located right in front of the station, so I’d like to stay again. I was also satisfied with dinner at the izakaya inside the Hotel.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. There are no nearby houses, and although we had heard that muntjac sometimes damage the fields, we enjoyed a salad made with freshly picked lettuce and herbs from those very fields. I was hoping to see a muntjac. The bamboo grove behind the property was beautiful.

We came back for a second try to see the fireflies after missing them last year. Perhaps thanks to the good weather and temperature that day, we were able to enjoy a breathtaking display of fireflies like a sky full of stars—it was truly moving! Being welcomed by the cats was also very soothing. We’d love to visit again next year.

The food was absolutely delicious, and you could tell every dish was prepared with great care. The bath was also very relaxing, and I was able to unwind and recover from my fatigue. Above all, the staff’s hospitality was outstanding. Their courteous and warm service made my stay truly comfortable. I was satisfied with everything—the food, the bath, and the service—and it was a wonderful Accommodation that made me want to visit again. Thank you very much.

I’ve stayed at several Accommodations that welcome dogs, but this was the first place where I never once felt restricted “because we have a dog.” Surrounded by nature, it’s a truly soothing space for both people and dogs. I was amazed by the huge 1,200-tsubo lawn garden and even a pool where people can swim too. I was genuinely happy to be able to relax and let my dog roam freely. And I was surprised to be able to enjoy an Onsen in Chiba. What’s more, our Room had a luxurious open-air bath carved from a massive stone! Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time without worrying about others was the best. Another great point for us was having a two-bedroom layout—an absolute must for our family. I never imagined traveling with our dog could be this comfortable, free, and luxurious… It truly was an amazing time. A wonderful Accommodation where both dogs and people can forget everyday life and fully unwind—we’d love to visit again.

As it was a weekday, we arrived in about 100 minutes from our home in Yokohama. Despite the heavy rain, the roads were smooth and no different from usual. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us outside and even carried our luggage to the room. Our bags had already been delivered while we were checking in, and we could feel their exceptional hospitality from the very start. The entrance features vibrant Paola Lenti furniture, creating a truly luxurious atmosphere. Stepping into the room, an expansive space opens up to a pool and the ocean beyond—it felt like being at an overseas resort. The interior design was also wonderful: arflex chairs paired with a single-slab wooden table, blending Japanese and Western styles beautifully. With typhoon swells bringing bigger waves, we quickly changed into wetsuits and headed to the sea. It took less than a minute from the balcony to getting into the water. The waterproof wristwatch-style key made it easy to go back and forth between the ocean and our room whenever we wanted—another great touch. After getting out of the sea, we went straight to the pool in our wetsuits, then moved on to the open-air bath on the second floor for a soak while taking in panoramic ocean views—pure luxury at its finest. Dinner was served leisurely in-room. Each dish reflected true craftsmanship—beautifully presented—and thanks to the attentive explanations from staff, it was clear how much care went into using local seasonal ingredients. It was an unforgettable dining experience where you could even enjoy each dish’s story behind it. The pudding dessert was outstanding as well! And then came what I’d been looking forward to most: the sauna—with an ocean view right from inside! A cold plunge bath and relaxation chairs were also provided, so there was nothing lacking in terms of facilities. With my recliner fully lowered and surrounding lights dimmed, countless stars filled my view ahead of me. Spending time wrapped in wave sounds and a gentle breeze felt like an indescribable luxury—an ultimate “totonoi” experience you simply can’t get in Tokyo. The next morning started with another swim in the sea followed by an early-morning sauna session. Enjoying two full rounds while gazing at the ocean had me feeling incredible even before breakfast began. Breakfast was also beautifully prepared dish by dish with gentle flavors throughout; especially memorable was rice cooked in a clay pot—it was surprisingly delicious—and I left completely satisfied until last bite . Before I knew it, checkout time arrived far too soon—I honestly wanted to stay longer . Everything—the sea , pool , open-air bath , meals ,and sauna —was exceptional ,and one night simply isn’t enough . If you want to make most of it all ,I recommend staying multiple nights . Beyond how wonderful space & facilities are,the warm hospitality of all staff members—from arrival through departure —left lasting impression as well . I’ll definitely be back !

About 25 years ago, I visited the Katsuura Morning Market with my children and had a great time, so I went again this time. This time it was the three of us: my wife, my mother-in-law, and me. Both Katsuura Beach and the morning market were close by, so the location was perfect. There was no large public bath—only an in-room bath (available 24 hours)—and it wasn’t an Onsen, which was a bit disappointing, but my mother-in-law was very satisfied. Dinner was Japanese-Western (French? Italian?), and I felt a little sorry for my mother-in-law, but she seemed happy with it, so all good. The photos include some taken while we were eating and even after we finished (lol).
