Hamachidori no Yu Kaishu (Kyoritsu Resort)

I finally got to experience this Accommodation I’d been curious about for a while, thanks to its appealing Instagram posts and high rankings online!In conclusion, it’s a wonderful Onsen Accommodation with a high level of satisfaction that truly lives up to the hype.The food is especially outstanding. At dinner—famous for its boat platter—you can enjoy Kishu-style whale dishes, along with a lineup of carefully prepared courses.As for the Onsen, it was a bit disappointing that every bath felt too hot to fully relax in,but you can still enjoy thoughtfully designed baths, including an open-air bath where you can feel the sea up close.I’m glad I found an Accommodation I’d love to return to in another season.

We stayed with five people in two Rooms. Even with two meals included, it was about JPY 50,000 per person, so this is a high-end Accommodation—and our expectations were accordingly high.First of all, the Facility was very clean and beautifully designed, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern Western comfort. The atmosphere throughout the property felt refined, offering a true resort Ryokan escape from everyday life.What stood out most this time was the top-floor ocean-side Room. Beyond the windows, the sea of Nanki-Shirahama stretched out wide, and with nothing to block the view, it was simply breathtaking. The Room itself was spacious at 49 m², and we were able to relax comfortably.The private open-air bath in the Room was also outstanding. Being able to soak whenever we liked while gazing out at the ocean felt incredibly luxurious. This view and the in-room open-air bath alone are strong reasons to choose this Accommodation.The Onsen offerings were also excellent. There were multiple baths with different atmospheres, and it was fun to enjoy them as if doing an on-site hot-spring tour. It’s a very appealing place for Onsen lovers.Dinner was satisfying as well. We enjoyed seafood such as abalone along with local ingredients—exactly what we had hoped for from a Ryokan dinner.On the other hand, service felt slightly underwhelming. It wasn’t bad at all—the staff were perfectly fine—but at an Accommodation Fee of around JPY 50,000 per person, you naturally expect something more elevated not only in facilities and food but also in hospitality. During this stay, service didn’t feel as special as the Facility itself or the views, Onsen experience, and cuisine.Even so, the overall appeal of this Accommodation is very strong: ocean-view Rooms, an open-air bath in the Room , a wide variety of Onsen baths , and enjoyable meals.In particular ,the ocean view from our top-floor Room and time spent in its private open-air bath were exceptional . The price is certainly not low ,but as a resort Ryokan where you can fully enjoy both Onsen and spectacular scenery in Nanki-Shirahama ,it became a memorable family stay .
