Kashima Asahi Station × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

We stayed here again this year following last year. The Room was clean, equipped with necessary amenities and comfortable yukata, and there is even a small but satisfying public bath. The izakaya next door is very convenient for dinner. This time, we were especially moved when we opened the Room door after check-in and saw the stunning sunset through the window.

We stayed here to visit Oarai Aquarium and Kairakuen Garden. There was a welcome drink, so we had coffee before heading to our room. For three guests, the room had twin beds plus a full set of futons. The room had been renovated in a modern style and was very comfortable, and we loved the view from the window—right in front of us were the river and bridge, with the ocean beyond. Dinner was Japanese cuisine at the restaurant, with sashimi and fried dishes as well, and there was more than enough food. They also offered free ramen at night, which my son happily went to enjoy. Breakfast was a buffet with a wide selection; they grilled fish on the spot and it was delicious. Excellent value for money—we’d definitely like to stay again.
