Katsuura Station × Accommodation For Enjoying Autumn FlavorsHighly 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 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.

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.

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.

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 !
