This was our family’s first trip to Kushimoto. We made a Reservation for an ocean-view Room on a high floor, and we were lucky to have great weather—we even got to see a beautiful sunrise! The Room was very spacious, the bed was comfortable, and everything felt clean. The yukata fabric was sturdy and not see-through, and it had no odor at all (the highest compliment). I’m sensitive to smells—both unpleasant odors and strong detergent fragrances—so regardless of the Hotel’s grade I usually assume I won’t be able to use them, but this time I used the yukata a lot! Even though we chose an affordable Plan, dinner on the second night and breakfast on the third day were included as well, and we were surprised by the wide variety of dishes. Instead of bottled water in the Room, there was a water dispenser in the elevator hall (with hot water too), which we really appreciated. The bath area and changing room were also spacious, so we could truly relax. Bathing hours started early in the morning and ran late into the night, which gave us plenty of flexibility. We could adjust the air conditioning exactly as we liked—another reason it was such a comfortable stay. The staff members we passed in the hallways greeted us naturally, creating a refreshing atmosphere throughout. If I had to mention one thing: when using the Room slippers, I hesitated slightly wondering if they had been sanitized. At other Mercure properties I’ve stayed at before, this never crossed my mind. Overall, we were extremely satisfied! Thank you very much!

I was able to spend a relaxing, healing time surrounded by the nature of the Kozagawa River. The space was wonderful and warmly inviting, with furniture made from Kishu timber. The Onsen was very soothing, and the Room was clean and comfortable. Best of all, it wasn’t crowded, so I could enjoy a quiet, unhurried stay. It was a lovely Accommodation that I would like to visit again.

Close to the sea, a great place for walking your dog. This time, we stayed with our 1-year-old child. Since eating out can be challenging, we used the well-equipped facilities at Kokoyui, including a hot plate. The detailed amenities provided make it convenient for families as well. We heard that fireworks can be seen nearby in summer, so we would love to stay here again.

As the title says, it was a great Hotel. I rated it 4 because there was no bathtub, but the shower was refreshing and left me feeling clean. If this Hotel is available on future trips, I will choose it without hesitation. Thank you.
