Shirahama Coganoi Resort & Spa

As soon as we arrived at the Hotel and tried to take photos at the entrance, a staff member kindly took great pictures for us with the scenery in the background. While waiting at the front desk, there were Halloween decorations and costumes, and they happily let us dress up and took photos for us. However, there weren’t many options for the welcome drinks, so I wish there had been a few more choices. The Room was also clean. Dinner offered a wide variety of local and seasonal dishes, all delicious, and we were able to enjoy plenty. The fresh tuna and sea bream sashimi were especially fresh; the sushi rice was tasty, the toppings were generous, and even the chawanmushi was served piping hot and felt truly authentic. There was also a great selection of desserts and they were delicious, but I was too full to try many of them—next time I’d like to make sure I don’t miss out. Above all, when the food is this good, it makes you want to come back again.

We stayed here for a family trip. There were plenty of kid-friendly facilities such as the pool, illuminations, and a playroom, and we had a great time! Our children were thrilled and kept saying, “We want to come again,” so we were very satisfied as parents. The Onsen was wonderful, and we really appreciated having unlimited towels available at both the Onsen and the pool—it made everything comfortable and stress-free. The staff were also polite and kind. The only thing that bothered us was having to wait for the elevator at times. As for dining, there were occasional lines at dinner buffet stations where chefs cook in front of you, but it wasn’t a big issue. At breakfast, since it’s split into two time slots, there were lines during our time; however, I think that’s unavoidable during busy mornings. It was a lovely Hotel that made us want to return!
