Mikawa Tahara Station × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

We’d like to try again next time. Also, dining in a semi-private setting allowed us to enjoy the dishes in a calm atmosphere. Every dish made with local ingredients was delicious. The simmered fish was especially good, and I would have liked to eat it together with rice. I

There were plenty of vegetables, everything felt nutritious, and I was very satisfied. The portions weren’t too large either, so I was able to finish everything. Dinner happened to be around sunset time, and when someone kindly said, “It’s just about sunset,” it helped me enjoy a

Natural Onsen baths and a wide variety of delicious dishes. It feels like a luxury Onsen Hotel from Japan’s Showa bubble era. There are older and newer wings, and from everywhere we enjoyed stunning views of the calm, rolling waves of Mikawa Bay. The lighthouse was charming and atmospheric. The many sets of Mikawa samurai armor and bridal kimono also gave us a sense of the history of Katahara Castle from the Sengoku period. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality.

The Room was spacious, and the view was absolutely stunning. The food was served buffet-style, and everything was delicious, especially the fresh sashimi. Everyone was satisfied, and we were able to create wonderful memories. The staff were incredibly kind, and I definitely

We enjoyed delicious meals in the Room, and we were happy to be able to take our time and enjoy them. However, the toilet lock malfunctioned repeatedly, and it was also difficult to understand how to use the in-room safe. Thank you for providing a spacious Room near the elevator for my mother, who has difficulty walking.

I arrived at 2 PM with an early check-in. Despite the last-minute request, the staff kindly accommodated me. First, I went to the main building where I was welcomed with a drink. The view of the ocean right in front of me was breathtaking! While enjoying the stunning scenery of the sun and sea, I received an explanation about the facility. I used a private open-air Onsen with a Japanese-style design. It was more spacious than it looked in photos, allowing for a relaxing soak in the Onsen. The changing room was also large and clean, with towels provided so you can use it hands-free. After bathing, I enjoyed coffee from a De'Longhi coffee machine while spending some leisurely time. The room was clean and spacious, and as soon as I entered, there was a fresh scent of wood that gave off a sense of newness. For dinner, since I brought my own food ingredients, charcoal for grilling was delivered at 6 PM as requested. Using this charcoal grill along with rice cooked in an electric pressure cooker (which cooks rice in just 20 minutes) provided one of the best dining experiences I've had. Later on, I enjoyed some drinks at the main building before returning to my room to relax in another bath while listening to ocean waves—a perfect moment doing absolutely nothing! The only downsides were that one dish had leftover sauce from previous use and hadn’t been cleaned properly; also, when trying to use a lantern provided by them—it wasn’t charged enough and turned off after just two seconds even if tipped over slightly. Despite these minor issues overall cleanliness stood out positively! I'd love visiting again on sunny days ahead—thank you very much!

We were worried about the outdoor pool in the extreme heat, but the sea breeze kept it cool and our grandchildren enjoyed it. Snow crab was served at dinner, which surprised everyone since it was summer. They also grilled steak for us, and it was delicious. The watermelon was sweet, and there were also chocolate fondue and ice cream. The breakfast buffet was wonderful too, especially while enjoying the ocean view. We would love to stay again.
