Irago Cape Local Fish Inn Takanoya

I chose this Accommodation because I was planning to stay near Cape Irago for a motorcycle event. As others have written, the food is unquestionably delicious and plentiful. I was especially satisfied with both the quality and quantity of the sashimi. They served many other dishes as well, but I still felt full from the Iekei ramen I had for lunch, so I couldn’t finish the simmered fish or the hot pot—and that was truly disappointing because everything tasted so good. Next time I stay, I think I should skip lunch. Since we were leaving early the next day, I couldn’t eat breakfast, which was a shame, but the rice balls they prepared for us were very tasty—so it made me think breakfast must have been great too... The bath was out of order, so we used a day-use bath at a Hotel about a 10-minute walk away. I was tired and would have preferred using the Accommodation’s bath, but the Hotel’s large public bath felt great as well, so overall it balanced out and I gave 4 stars. I heard our Room would be on the third floor and thought climbing stairs might be tough, but there was an elevator, which was reassuring. The Room being a Japanese-style room felt comfortable for me. The toilet and sink area seemed to have been renovated; they were bright and clean—and of course there was a washlet toilet seat. Since we’re coming from Kyushu, it’s not easy to visit without a motorcycle event, but if there’s another opportunity, I’d like to stay again.

Although my Reservation was originally without meals, when I asked for dinner at check-in, they kindly agreed. Dinner featured local fish served as sashimi, simmered dishes, and fried items, plus an individual sukiyaki hot pot. The large simmered sea bream was a whole fish—honestly, that alone would have been more than enough. Everything was delicious. There were also items like fried pufferfish and grilled large clams. I was surprised by the generous portions for the price. I’m sorry I couldn’t finish it all and left a little behind. Because the boiler was out of order, we walked along the beach to a nearby Hotel’s large public bath. The view of the open sea and sandy beach from the bath—along with the sunset—was wonderful. It felt like a lucky bonus.
