This was our second stay at Umekiya. We stayed once before and it was so great that we chose it again. The owner talked with us about why we picked this place again, as well as products made on Awaji Island and shops run by local creators, and we were able to actually stop by. They also share recommended spots around Awaji Island. On our second visit, we used a nearby super sento. It was extremely crowded with locals, so while Umekiya doesn’t have a bathtub, if you want to take your time in the bath, it’s better to use Umekiya. The Wi‑Fi in the Room (which didn’t work well last time) had been improved, but the best part is spending time enjoying the atmosphere in the shared space on the first floor while having free drinks. There are two shared toilets, but my family wished they were separated for men and women. It’s also hard to tell whether someone is inside; even though one of them was vacant, I was knocked on and asked to hurry up. It would be helpful if it were easier to see whether each toilet is occupied or not. If we come back to Awaji Island again, this is a place we’d like to stay at.

I stayed with my grandchildren, ages 5 and 10. As soon as we parked, a staff member came over and helped us carry our luggage to the Room. The moment we opened the door, we saw a spacious, stylish Room and the pool, and everyone cheered. Before getting into the in-room pool, we went to the lounge and enjoyed some drinks. We had ordered a pizza-making kit, so we had fun making it—and it was so delicious we finished it in seconds! We brought our own ingredients and enjoyed a BBQ. We also used the sauna, then went back to the pool—and even the next morning we jumped straight into another full day of pool time. We even came across a stag beetle, which made it an amazing trip. Since we were traveling with children who tend to run around, we chose the first floor where you can see the pool from the living area. No one was staying on the second floor during our visit, so there were no footsteps like some Reviews mention—it was very comfortable. Having a coffee machine in the Room was fantastic. Everyone agreed that we’d love to stay again.

I felt it was a waste of time to be on my phone, so I left it in the car and spent my stay unplugged. A truly luxurious time. While out for a walk, local residents greeted me, and in the morning I exchanged greetings with our neighbor. It felt like the simple everyday moments that have become less common were still naturally here. With all five senses awakened, I found the most luxurious time here. Although there were few chances to meet the staff in person, I could feel their kind thoughtfulness throughout. Thank you very much.
