간몬해협 메카리 역 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I stayed overnight in Shimonoseki and was looking for an Accommodation where I could truly look forward to the meals. Since there was a Plan that included both fugu and beef, I made a Reservation right away. The building is a long-established culinary Ryokan with a sense of history, and I heard that locals use it for weddings and funerals as well as to enjoy seasonal fish dishes. The fugu was served as tessa (a Kansai term), with thick slices and an exceptional sweetness. The Miyazaki beef was also tender, and the combination was easy to enjoy. The dishes may look simple at first glance, but each one is carefully crafted—far beyond anything an amateur can judge. The staff were polite yet relaxed, offering thoughtful, unobtrusive service that made my stay very comfortable. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it to travelers whose main priority is the Facility. As a long-established Ryokan, the building clearly shows its age in a good way, and you can tell it has been carefully maintained. This was my first stay here, but I would definitely like to return the next time I visit Shimonoseki. Thank you very much.

For our Kyushu girls’ trip, we chose Mojiko—introduced to us through “Convenience Store Brothers”—as our final-day destination and stayed in the Premium Suite at Premium Hotel. From the moment we stepped into the Room, we were thrilled by the panoramic view of Mojiko right in front of us and the spacious, comfortable Room! After enjoying carefully selected drinks, cheese, and finger foods at the exclusive lounge Tempo, we finally fulfilled our wish to walk across the Kanmon Straits, then took a ferry back to right in front of the Hotel. It’s worth staying here for this Hotel alone! Next time, we’d love to enjoy a meal at one of the Hotel’s restaurants as well.

The Facility is old, but the rates are affordable, and since the meals are kaiseki cuisine, we enjoyed them at a relaxed pace. Above all, the Kanmon Bridge and the Kanmon Strait can be seen from the Room, bath, and dining hall—absolutely wonderful. We were able to take our time enjoying the view of various ships coming and going. We will stay again.

Facing the Kanmon Straits, it was soothing to watch the ships passing through all the time. The meals were carefully selected and delicious. It was also great to be able to see the straits from the bath; however, the bath was quite crowded with many local residents, which surprised me a little. As a request, I think it would be relaxing if you could use some aroma fragrance or incense in the corridor where the Room is located.

I stayed here again this year following last year. The lack of an auto-lock was not an issue for me. It was sufficient and satisfactory. There was plenty of parking space, and I could also park my motorcycle.

The Room was spacious, and the bath and toilet were separate. The amenities were well stocked. There were also bath salts, so I was happy to be able to relax in the bath. The Hotel is conveniently located near Karato Market and shopping facilities, so we enjoyed exploring on foot. Thank you very much.

The Room was spacious, and the bath was large enough to stretch out in, so we had a very comfortable stay. We also received bottled water and drinks every day, which was especially appreciated for a summer trip. All the sightseeing spots are within walking distance. It was the best Hotel we stayed at among more than 10 places on this trip.

This time, I stayed two nights on the Mojiko side, then took the ferry across to the Shimonoseki side for one night. It was a very sunny and hot day, but Karato Market, the Karato Ferry Terminal, Kaikyokan (Shimonoseki Aquarium), Hai! Karatto Yokocho (a small amusement park), and RISONARE are all lined up in the same area, so it’s great that you can enjoy everything within walking distance. On top of that, the Hotel offers plenty of kid-friendly activities such as the pufferfish pool and pufferfish beach, and the little ones looked like they were having a wonderful time. I also saw families staying with three generations together—this seems like an excellent choice for family trips. As for me, it was a solo trip for one night, so I treated myself to a full pufferfish Italian course at Otto Sette in the dining room (the aperitif was served on the terrace at sunset before moving into the dining room!). I also enjoyed a relaxing resort stay in a new and comfortable Room while taking in views of the Kanmon Straits. In the morning, I started my walk before dawn along Arukaport Promenade by the sea in front of the Hotel. With cool sea breezes and gradually brightening skies over the Kanmon Straits, I walked past Karato Market to Sister City Plaza at the end of the promenade to watch sunrise. Then I returned along the same path back to the Hotel and joined “Sea Breeze Stretch” on Namunami Terrace with its beautifully kept lawn. After that came an incredible breakfast buffet with so many options it was hard to choose—I enjoyed it right up to my limit. At PUKU PUKU’s breakfast buffet, kawara soba, seafood marinated rice bowls, and French toast are must-haves—go hungry. Even though it was only one night, it felt incredibly fulfilling. I’d love to come back—and now I want to visit other RISONARE properties too. Also, even if you make a Reservation here, it’s convenient that you can log in on their official website using your Reservation Number and arrange meals and activities online in advance.

Our family of three stayed here. From the moment we entered the Hotel, a lovely aroma greeted us, and it was soothing throughout our stay wherever we were. We were satisfied with everything—the staff service, delicious meals, location, and large public bath. We would love to visit again.

We stayed in a family-type Room. The Room was spacious and clean, making it very comfortable. Having a washer and dryer was especially convenient. When our child forgot something, we contacted the property and they responded immediately, which we really appreciated. If we visit Mojiko again, we would like to stay here again.

It was a wonderful Accommodation. We also enjoyed the fugu kaiseki meal. After checkout, I forgot something, but they contacted me right away and I went back to pick it up. I am grateful to the staff at the Accommodation. I would like to stay here again when traveling nearby.

This was my first time staying here. Since this trip was mainly for sightseeing and dining, I booked a No Meals Included plan. There is a sign at the entrance that reflects the property’s history, and it offers great access to Karato Market and Kamon Wharf, making it ideal for a sightseeing stay. At check-in and check-out, the staff were courteous and friendly, which made me feel very welcome, and I would like to stay again next time. The Room and Facility are a bit dated and show their age, but the Room was clean and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Room was excellent, and the drink service was satisfying. However, possibly due to the rain, the bathroom sink drained slowly, and check-in was difficult and took a considerable amount of time.

I booked through Yahoo Travel, expecting a regular Hotel, but it was unmanned with remote identity verification via video call for check-in. Additionally, this was my oversight, but there are two similarly named Hotels: Grand Base "Mojiko" and "Mojiko Ekimae," which almost caused me to follow the wrong directions on Google Maps. The biggest issue for me was the lack of pajamas. While this might be common in accommodations like private lodgings, I had booked with the image of a regular Hotel in mind and found it inconvenient upon arrival. It would be helpful if such details were more prominently noted. On the other hand, toothbrushes, towels, shampoo, a microwave oven, and a water dispenser were provided. The location is excellent—within walking distance of Mojiko Station and the retro district—with supermarkets and drugstores nearby. Incidentally, I bought pajamas at one of these drugstores. The Facility is new and clean. Although I noticed that there was no door for the toilet area, it was quiet and comfortable overall. The price is reasonable; once accustomed to this style of accommodation, such Hotels can be quite appealing!

We stayed as a family of four. From pre-check-in through arrival, photos of all family members were required. Since there is no front desk, I understand that can’t be helped. On the other hand, we could come and go freely, and with an 11:00 check-out we were able to walk to Karato Market in the morning and take our time. There’s a sauna, and you can see the sea from the bath. Sitting on the balcony sofa feels like being on a boat—it’s that close to the water. We also did laundry in the morning, which made things easier after returning home. One thing was that we couldn’t find where the amenities were at first and had to look for them. It would be helpful if they were set out in an easy-to-find place. It’s a place we’d like to stay again. Thank you for your hospitality.
