Ocean Terrace Ajisai

I live in Kobe and have been hiking Mt. Rokko and the surrounding mountains frequently for many years.I often passed by “Ocean Terrace Ajisai” and had been curious about it for a long time.After reading the Reviews, the food looked absolutely delicious.So I made a Reservation for our wedding anniversary.The meals more than lived up to their reputation—beautifully presented, wonderfully flavorful, and truly outstanding. Both dinner and breakfast left us happily stuffed.Everything was delicious, but I was especially impressed by how surprising and exquisite the fig dengaku and peach potage were—and it was my first time in my life to be genuinely amazed at how incredibly good Narazuke could be.The dashimaki tamago that appeared with a burst of steam when they opened the bamboo mat was also exceptional.Everyone at the Accommodation was kind and attentive, sharing enjoyable stories that made us feel at ease.The view was slightly hazy when we arrived, but when I woke up around midnight and stepped out onto the terrace, there were the night lights from Kobe to Osaka—and a full moon!I was thrilled by both our good luck and its beauty. And in the morning, seeing trees wrapped in mist—Mt. Rokko like I’d never seen before—moved me again…I would love to stay again in a different season.When making the Reservation, I saw the Room size in square meters and assumed it would be compact, but I must have misread it—it felt very spacious and relaxing, which was wonderful too.

I visited to relax with my daughter, who has just started her first job.On the day, we were picked up by the Shuttle Service to the athletic park. We didn’t have to wait long, and the careful driving made it very comfortable. The Room was lovely, and the night view was amazing. The meals were delicious, and the tableware was beautiful as well. We were very satisfied. Next time, we’ll visit in a different season.
