Sea Garden Minatoya

The ocean view from the Room was truly breathtaking, and I was able to relax and unwind. The Room was also very clean, making for a comfortable stay. The panoramic bath can be reserved for private use, and soaking in the bath while gazing out at the vast ocean right in front of you felt wonderful. Every dish at dinner was delicious, especially the deep-fried rockfish and the grilled abalone—both were outstanding. The portions were very generous—more than I could finish. I’m sorry I couldn’t eat it all. Breakfast was just as satisfying. Although we unfortunately had bad weather this time, it was still a lovely stay. Next time, I’d love to return on a sunny day.

When choosing an Accommodation for a mountain trip (Mt. Amagi), we decided on this place because it’s not too far from the trailhead. What convinced us was the free-flowing hot spring straight from the source, the small size with only four groups, and the food, which looked absolutely delicious. Since we live on the Sea of Japan side, a cold wave led to preventive road closures starting the day before departure, and we were worried about whether we could even make it there. It turned out the area was in turmoil due to the heaviest snowfall in 15 years. The Accommodation also had a tough time—the water supply stopped the day before we arrived—but it was restored by our check-in, and we had no issues at all during our stay. Just as expected, the meals were so good that we finished everything even while saying we were stuffed, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ocean view from the scenic bath—100% satisfied. The hostess gave us lots of helpful tips, and thanks to her we also enjoyed an unplanned walk along Jogasaki Coast. We’re truly glad we chose this place.
