The beach was also very close, and there were a few stylish restaurants and small shops nearby, which was great. We ate ice cream on a large sofa you can lie down on at the terrace of the Hotel restaurant (?) while looking out at the sea, and that time felt truly blissful and bec

A trip to Itoshima with three high school friends! We were unexpectedly upgraded to a corner suite!! Ocean views from the window, the bath, and even the bed. All the staff were kind and welcoming. Next time, I’d like to stay here with my family.

The facilities were sophisticated, and I was very satisfied! The weather was amazing, and I felt healed by the blue sky, sea, breeze, and sound of the waves. The location was also fantastic. If I may suggest for future consideration, we brought our pet along, but there were small gaps at the entrance and in the corner of the dog run where our pet escaped twice. Thankfully, a neighbor noticed and quickly secured them, but it made us quite anxious. Another suggestion would be to have a TV in the first-floor bedroom as well. Even so, we were extremely satisfied. We look forward to visiting again during a different season. Thank you very much!

This was my third visit to Itoshima, the first in two years. Last time, after heavy rain the day before, it suddenly turned into a midsummer day, and the breathtaking sunset—changing moment by moment against the vast ocean—was truly moving. I enjoyed delicious food and the relaxed pace that only an all-inclusive stay can offer. This time had a different atmosphere and some changes. Arriving in a downpour with luggage, I climbed the stone steps to check in. What surprised me right away was “10:00 checkout”! I never expected it to be an hour earlier—maybe a pitfall of being a repeat guest? I was told it was changed because lunch service starts at 11:00 with reservations… but 10:00 still feels far too early. Since we spend about four hours round trip for an overnight stay, we want to relax as much as possible. If possible, I hope you will consider setting check-in to 16:00 and returning checkout to 11:00—I would be glad if this request from repeat guests reaches you. This time we dined while watching the post-rain evening scenery, and the food was just as delicious as ever—I was very satisfied. The soup course in particular had wonderful Japanese dashi flavor and was deeply comforting, and the tempura made from fresh squid (prepared after sashimi) was especially appreciated; as someone who loves cooking at home, having a professional fry dishes is a real treat. It was also disappointing not to see any of the staff members from previous visits. The photo shows “Itoshima Bay—an evening view after the rain.”
