GOTO RETREAT ray by Onko Chishin

After seeing it in a magazine, I’d been wanting to visit for two years, and I finally got to stay here.It was an even more wonderful stay than I had imagined.The meals were delicious, with plenty of local ingredients.I’ll definitely be back!

I stayed for two nights as a solo traveler.If you’re staying alone, I think only the smallest Room is available, but it was more than spacious enough for one person.Because the Room is small, having the air conditioner blow directly on me while sleeping was a bit tough, but everything else was excellent.With an Onsen on the balcony, I could soak whenever I wanted and relax on the sofa with a book.On the second day, since I had the chance, I rented a car share from the Hotel parking lot and toured the island.At check-in, they gave me a sheet they had made with recommended sightseeing spots on the island, which was very helpful.Takahama Beach is amazing—the “Goto Blue” was incredible.The meals were also great; I enjoyed local specialties such as fish and Goto beef.It seems they changed the menu on the second day only for guests on a Multiple Night Stay. Everything was delicious.If I have another opportunity, this is an Accommodation I’d love to return to for a relaxing getaway away from city noise.
