Utsumi Station (Aichi Prefecture) × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

And then there is the cuisine—something I look forward to with excitement every time. It captures the season perfectly and delights both the eyes and the palate. February means Setsubun: a demon mask made from carrot, a club made from burdock root, an Otafuku face made from quail

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, with each dish carefully prepared, and I could enjoy my meals in a private room without worrying about other guests, making it very relaxing. The bath had high salt content, which made my body feel warm and cozy. The private bath was av

I chose this accommodation to relax and enjoy the sunset, and it exceeded my expectations. I was able to soak in the open-air bath while perfectly admiring the sunset, just as I had hoped. With all rooms offering ocean views, I had a very comfortable and pleasant time. The

Dinner features a full-course pufferfish meal. Breakfast includes freshly cooked rice in an earthen pot, thickly sliced grilled salmon, shaved bonito flakes (a rare treat these days), fluffy rolled omelet, large soft pickled plums, lightly pickled cucumber and daikon radish, and more—showcasing attention to both ingredients and hospitality.

We had a very comfortable stay in a beautiful Room with an ocean-view Western-style layout and an attached Japanese-style space. I was impressed by the thoughtful bath amenities. I was happy they even provided plastic bags for socks and spare clothes. If I had to say one thing, I

I upgraded to a Room with a runway view, and it was well worth it. Being able to enjoy the view even from the bath was fantastic. The staff were wonderful, always smiling and providing very pleasant service—I was extremely satisfied. They also stored my suitcase after checkout, which made it much easier to get around. There wasn’t any mineral water provided in the Room, so I used the vending machine, but it only accepted cash—so it may be a good idea to have some coins ready. However, since there is a convenience store at the Hotel entrance, you may not find it inconvenient. If I have another chance to visit Nagoya, I would definitely like to stay again.

I chose this ryokan in Chita because I wanted to enjoy fugu, and their fugu dishes were introduced on the site. My room was upgraded, and during this season, I could see both the sunrise and sunset from the room, making it a truly wonderful experience (I uploaded photos of the sunrise and sunset). Yesterday, there were reportedly over 100 guests staying here, but today it was just us. We had the luxury of enjoying the onsen all to ourselves. I imagine yesterday must have been extremely busy for the staff like a "battle," so we felt grateful yet slightly apologetic for being able to enjoy such a calm atmosphere today. The hostess was very friendly and chatted with us during mealtime, allowing us to relax and have an enjoyable time. The onsen features a unique "stone bath" design where water flows beneath stones, creating a serene bathing experience. The indoor bath is slightly hotter while the open-air bath has just the right temperature—perfect for those who prefer either hot or milder baths. Personally, I loved the temperature of the open-air bath; it was perfect for me! The natural fugu we came here for was absolutely delicious as well. Overall, this accommodation offers a relaxing stay with plenty of time to unwind at your own pace!

The staff were very friendly, and the Onsen was great with pleasantly salty water. The meals were exactly as shown in the photos—fresh and delicious—and the portions were generous. I would like you to prevent cigarette smoke from the smoking area from drifting over.

Staying at this price during the Obon holiday is wonderful. Although the exterior looks a bit worn, the inside has been nicely renovated and we were able to stay comfortably. The meals also offered sufficient quality and quantity for the price. However, perhaps because it was Obon, dinner felt drawn out as it took quite a long time for the next dishes to be served. That said, it was an Accommodation with excellent value for money and a high level of satisfaction.

From the moment we arrived, the subtle scent of incense in the air and the front desk staff’s beaming smiles left a lasting impression. The Room was spacious and spotless, and soaking in the in-room bath with orchid flowers floating on the water while listening to the sound of the waves was pure bliss. The meal began with exquisite sashimi, and we enjoyed being able to savor a variety of dishes little by little. Since we had mentioned that this trip was to celebrate my husband’s retirement, you kindly provided everything—dishes, dessert, and even a commemorative photo on a photo plate—as complimentary services, which truly moved us as a couple. The post-dinner event was also fun, making it a relaxing yet exciting and memorable one-night, two-day stay. Thank you so much to all of your staff.

We truly enjoyed time passing slowly and peacefully. Last time we had breakfast only, but this time we also had dinner; we were surprised by how much there was, but everything was delicious. Thank you very much. I don’t know when it will be next time, but when our family can all

The Room’s open-air bath was wonderful. The meals were more than enough for women; men might find them a bit light, but for those who drink alcohol, I felt they were sufficient. I think it would be better if breakfast times were staggered. The staff’s sense of distance also felt very comfortable to me. Sorry to mention this at the end. Thank you very much.

I chose this Accommodation because I wanted to relax in a bath with an ocean view, and it offers ocean-view rooms with private open-air baths. I later realized it was featured in the Michelin Guide (Tokai edition). There are many baths throughout the Accommodation—on the rooftop, on the 5th floor, two on the 3rd floor, and one on the 2nd floor—but unfortunately the 2nd-floor bath was closed on the day of my stay. The in-room open-air bath had plenty of hot water and a great view, and I enjoyed it very much. The 5th-floor bath is a reservable private bath in 25-minute slots, so it felt a bit rushed. On the 3rd floor, if it’s available you can lock it and use it privately; I used only one of them, and its semi-open-air style was best suited for washing up. I used the rooftop open-air bath after dinner—the gradient of colors in the sky was stunning, and I could even see an evening star, making for a truly beautiful experience; however... because there is nothing to block the wind on the rooftop, I felt very cold even during the short walk to the tub. You may want to choose your season if you want to fully enjoy it. The staff were cheerful and kind. I booked a Plan with breakfast and dinner; both meals were delicious and felt like just the right amount. Perhaps because everything paired well with alcohol, I got thirsty at night and drank water several times (I appreciated that cold water was provided in a pot in my room). The bedding was high quality and I slept well. Overall satisfaction was high—an Accommodation that made me want to return. One disappointing point—also mentioned by others—was that there were many marks on the tatami mats that looked like they came from dragging tables or other furniture around. Also as others have noted, there were some areas where cleaning seemed insufficient: higher spots and exterior sides of window frames looked like they hadn’t been wiped for quite some time. What bothered me most this time was that weeding around the open-air bath area hadn’t been done at all. It seems like it could be finished within an hour—or handled with weed killer—but since there don’t seem to be many young people locally and older staff appear to be running things mainly themselves, this may be easier said than done. Photos from when Game 16 of Ryuo Title Match (Season 16) was held here are displayed inside; you can see younger versions of Morishita Koji? Wait: Actually "森内、羽生" are Yoshiharu Morinouchi? It's "Morinouchi" vs "Habu". Alongside them is also a young Sugimoto Masayuki (8-dan), famous as mentor to Fujii Sota (six titles). Shogi fans—and especially Fujii fans—should definitely take a look.

The staff's service was somewhat curt, but both dinner and breakfast were delicious! It would be even better if the dinner dishes were explained more thoroughly and the front desk had a brighter atmosphere.

They kindly accommodated our last-minute request for a pickup. We enjoyed dinner in a calm private room. The seafood dishes were exceptionally fresh, served with restaurant-quality tableware and presentation. The entire property was spotless, and it was clear that the hostess and staff clean thoroughly without cutting corners. This well-reviewed Accommodation was warm, clean, and great value for money, so I highly recommend it. The cake was delicious as well. It made us want to visit again. Thank you very much.

I had dietary requirements, and after informing them in advance, they accommodated me with great care and attention to detail. Every staff member provided excellent service, and I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you very much. This is an Accommodation I definitely want to visit again!

We used this place for our family’s first glamping trip. The dome-shaped tent was beautiful with an ocean view, and it came with a shower and toilet. We also enjoyed the Onsen, and the kids were thrilled. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

Dinner was served in the Room, and the sashimi was fresh and delicious, with a sweetness that highlighted the quality of the fish. The boiled octopus, seasoned simply with salt, was tender and flavorful. However, it was disappointing that the bathroom in the Room had a strong unpleasant smell, possibly from not being used for a long time. Next time, I would love to try fugu in winter!

They promptly picked us up when we called from the port. The Room was upgraded for free as there was availability, and it was spacious and comfortable. It was also clean and well-maintained. The view from the bath was open and beautiful. For dinner, we enjoyed fresh sashimi, grilled small sea bream with salt, octopus shabu-shabu, boiled whole octopus, stewed large clams, tempura of a large conger eel, and octopus rice—all served freshly prepared in order. Everything was delicious. Breakfast had a wide variety of dishes that were all tasty; we ate everything and were completely full. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality!

This was our first stay, and it was a wonderful Accommodation. The hospitality, food, and cleanliness were especially excellent. We were surprised by the look-alike sisters (lol). Thank you for recommending a great place for lunch as well. Next time, we’d love to stay in a Room with an open-air bath.
