Hotel Aoshima Cinqmale

We came this time to enjoy the spiny lobster dishes and to stay again in a room with a private open-air bath. We requested the highest-tier Shochikubai plan, and it truly was top class—two lobsters per person, and both my wife and I were completely satisfied. We were worried about the typhoon, but it didn’t affect our stay, and we enjoyed the bath many times. At check-out, someone who seemed to be the manager kindly saw us off, and we left feeling very comfortable. My wife and I agreed that we’d like to come back again in our later years. Thank you very much.

From the open-air bath on the balcony, we could see the ocean and relax while listening to the sound of the waves. The Onsen water felt silky and pleasant, and it left my skin looking great. My husband, who used to dislike Onsen, ended up loving it. The portions at dinner and breakfast were so large that it was overwhelming—though it might be perfect for big eaters.
