Mimosusogawa Bekkan

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.

My daughter and I stayed at this Accommodation because we wanted to enjoy fuku, and it was absolutely the right choice! The food was truly delicious and wonderful—we were completely satisfied. The fuku kaiseki included a very generous portion of fugu sashimi, which felt wonderfully indulgent.All of the staff spoke in such a calm, gentle manner that it made us feel at ease.The proprietress also gave us clear sightseeing guidance with a lovely smile at checkout, which made us very happy!My daughter and I said we’d love to come back here every year at the start of the New Year.This time we made our Reservation for the last available Room, so next time we’ll book earlier—if we can get a higher floor, we may be able to enjoy an even better view of the Kanmon Straits.If I had one request, I would be happy if the corridor from the front desk to the Room were just a little brighter.Other than that, we were able to relax in the private open-air bath with its retro feel, and overall it’s a charming Accommodation full of atmosphere.
