Thank you for helping us celebrate my hot-spring-loving father’s 88th birthday. My parents especially loved relaxing in Ginpaso’s lounge—soaking their feet in the footbath while gazing out at the sea. I also enjoyed a truly luxurious, peaceful time just watching the ocean from the footbath. Last year we enjoyed an exquisite kaiseki dinner, but this time we chose my father’s favorite: a Western-style teppanyaki steak course. Both of my parents savored every dish. The highlight was the teppanyaki live abalone and abalone liver—when they heard it had been alive just moments before, my mother said “I feel sorry for it,” which made all the staff smile, but she still thoroughly enjoyed it. At dessert, you even prepared a wonderful message plate and an 88th-birthday celebratory vest (chanchanko). My father smiled shyly from ear to ear. You also beautifully incorporated our own party props and crown for his 88th birthday into the decorations, and thanks to everyone’s warmth, both of my parents were absolutely delighted. We grandchildren were able to take photos with huge smiles as well. We are truly grateful for all of your thoughtful hospitality and kindness.

It turned out to be a great-value stay for the price! After climbing the very steep hill in front of the hotel and stepping inside, we were welcomed by two owl mascots—the symbol of the property—right in front of the reception desk. They were adorable. Since I was traveling alone, I was able to use the room spaciously. The building itself feels a bit old, but there were no issues with cleanliness or maintenance. The hot spring baths were a little far away, but it didn’t bother me. The water was pleasantly warm, and soaking half-body style felt great. Dinner was kaiseki-style, and rice, miso soup, and tea were self-service. Honestly, it was helpful to be able to choose my own timing for rice and such—I even wished other inns would adopt this system. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you in advance when that time comes.

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.

This hotel is right in front of the ocean, making it a relaxing place to stay. In this season, walking along the beach feels wonderful, and the beautiful scenery was truly soothing. The staff were also kind, making for a very comfortable stay.

The price, service, and facilities were all very satisfying. We visited with our 3-year-old son and used the private bath for 45 minutes, which offered an amazing view. It made us strongly want to visit again. The room we stayed in did not have a bath or shower, and some amenities were paid as mentioned beforehand, so we had no complaints during our stay. The service was excellent, and we are very happy to have found such a great accommodation.

It was a very cute hotel filled with flowers. There were charming touches throughout the property—like a flower bath, a flower-themed refrigerator, and even a dolphin vending machine—so it was fun just walking around and looking at everything. The restaurant was also surrounded by flowers, which really lifted my mood. The food was delicious: the sashimi was fresh, and the charcoal-grilled eel was wonderfully fragrant—I was very satisfied. The drinks were great too, and I ended up enjoying more than I expected. The live piano performance was excellent. All of the staff were pleasant and left a great impression. With its warm atmosphere, we had a wonderful time. I’d love to visit again.

Before visiting Himakajima, I researched accommodations and found that the reviews were not very favorable, so my expectations were low. However, the staff at the accommodation were all incredibly hospitable, providing exceptional service throughout my stay. While it was not an onsen, the large public bath was spacious and relaxing, offering a similar experience with views of Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay. The sunset from the room was extraordinary—a scene reminiscent of a novel's opening line describing "a magnificent twilight," visible across the peninsula. The only disappointment was hearing that octopus catches have been poor recently. I look forward to visiting again when I have another opportunity.
