Stasiun Mikawa Toba × Akomodasi Menikmati Cita Rasa Musim GugurKepuasan pelanggan yang tinggi di Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepang

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.

We were able to relax in a quiet setting surrounded by nature. The private open-air bath attached to the room was spacious, and we could unwind in the hot spring water. The amenities—especially ReFa—were excellent. We also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast in our room at a leisurely pace as a family.

This Accommodation offers ocean views even from single Rooms—truly a rare Ryokan. The daytime scenery is wonderful, but after dinner, when I returned to my Room, I could watch the lighthouse light floating on the night sea and the lights of fishing boats. It really gave me that satisfying feeling of “I came all the way to the sea.” The meal was fun, with a thoughtfully crafted menu. The sake was also delicious. The portion size was just right for me; if I had to ask for one thing, I would have loved a bit more sashimi (it was excellent). I had no idea that deep-sea fish are landed around Gamagori until I read the explanation. I did wish you could see a little more of the ocean from the open-air bath, but I understand there are various challenges. When I arrived at the Accommodation in the rain, a female staff member greeted me and kindly guided me to the front desk. The next morning at check-out, I was also delighted to meet their resident cat. Everyone seemed naturally considerate and attentive, which made me feel at ease throughout my stay.

We stayed here with four generations of our family, including our elderly parents. The Room was spacious and very relaxing. Our grandchild loved the kids’ room and played to their heart’s content. The open-air bath in the sky had an amazing view and was wonderful. All the staff were kind, making it a great Accommodation. Thank you very much.

All of the dishes were delicious, and the shabu-shabu and shellfish dishes in particular were outstanding! We could really taste the quality of the ingredients, and we were very satisfied. The service was also very attentive, making our stay truly comfortable. Both the food and service were excellent—this is a Ryokan we would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much!

The location was amazing, right in front of the ocean. The food was delicious and there was more than we could finish—we were very satisfied. We’d love to stay here again when we visit Himakajima.

It was conveniently located close to Laguna Ten Bosch. We stayed in a Room with a private bath. The view was great, and the bath felt open and airy and was very clean—our children were delighted. The staff were very helpful, and the welcome services were also excellent. The meals were delicious, and the children’s menu was thoughtfully planned with good nutritional balance, which was wonderful. It was an Accommodation we would like to stay at again. Thank you very much.

The breakfast buffet was a big hit with my family! The bath was also wonderful. On our way home, I realized at Gamagori Station that I had left my wallet on a sofa on the first-floor lobby of the Hotel, and I panicked and called. A kind guest turned it in to the front desk, and a staff member even brought it to the station. I’m truly sorry for the trouble, but your kindness saved our trip. We will definitely stay again next time. Thank you very much.

As you drive up the winding mountain road with hairpin turns, you’ll eventually spot the Hotel at the top. With expectations rising for a great view… Once inside, the large lobby windows more than delivered, offering a breathtaking panoramic view over Mikawa Bay. In the Japanese-style Room, two beds had been set up—an appreciated touch for us as an older couple. Of course, the view from the Room was spectacular as well. The large public bath had both an indoor bath and an open-air bath at just the right temperature, and it felt wonderful. I wanted to stay in forever, so I cooled off now and then by splashing lukewarm water or cold water on myself to avoid overheating before soaking again. (Laughs) Dinner featured Aichi beef sukiyaki and abalone steak. Both were so delicious I wished I could have eaten more—but after finishing everything served, I realized it was actually the perfect amount. These days buffets are common and I often end up overeating, so having table service in a restaurant like this felt calm and healthy. Okazaki Castle is also about an hour’s drive from the Hotel, and I was happy to be able to reflect on Tokugawa Ieyasu’s legacy there. Within the castle grounds, Mikawa Bushi no Yakata: Ieyasu Museum is thoughtfully designed with well-planned exhibits—I’d love to visit again at a slower pace.

The staff were very pleasant, and overall we were very satisfied. I was a bit concerned about some dark staining around the sinks in the large public bath changing area (it seemed clean and well maintained, though). My grandchild wanted to play table tennis, but it was only available until 9:00 p.m., so we couldn’t, which was disappointing.

Dinner offered a wide variety of dishes and was delicious overall, so the meals were excellent. The room was spacious and satisfying; however, there was a slight lingering smell of dog urine, which may be unavoidable. The dog run was not crowded, which was great.

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.

I’d been interested in this Accommodation for a few years, and finally had the chance to stay here! First of all, the beach is literally right in front of you! There’s also a changing room with showers, which was really helpful. I also appreciated being able to use the parking lot even before check-in. The building itself may be old, but it was clean and well maintained. The meals were delicious and just the right amount. The bath was great too, especially with an open-air bath. If I go to Kira again next year, I’d love to stay at Yamato 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!

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.
