Hayama Hotel Otowanomori

This Hotel was truly exceptional, with breathtaking Hayama views and the warm hospitality of the staff. The Misaki-grown longtooth grouper served at dinner was especially memorable—the chef’s cooking was perfect, and I was genuinely impressed. The plump, tender white flesh and rich fat that melted in my mouth were unforgettable. With wonderful cuisine and outstanding service, it became a truly special stay. Thank you very much.

Stepping through the entrance, an incredible view opened up—blue seas and a beautiful space that felt unlike Japan. Rather than “luxurious,” “refined” feels like the right word; the interior, perfectly in harmony with the color of the ocean, was wonderfully comfortable. The Room was spacious with a breathtaking ocean view, and both the walk-in closet and shower were easy to use—everything was very comfortable.At the spa, my eye level lined up perfectly with the horizon, making it feel as if I were floating between sky and sea. Enjoying a drink while soaking made it truly indulgent.Dinner exceeded expectations. Not only was everything delicious, but even the Arita ware tableware was stunning—like works of art. The Hayama beef was tender and incredibly flavorful. Dessert was delicate and charming with an elegant sweetness. The explanations of each dish were enjoyable as well; it was a happy time that satisfied both my appetite and my heart.Breakfast featured options like green smoothies and soup—perfect for a stomach still full from dinner the night before. The soup, infused with fermented vegetables and rich meat flavor, had a gentle taste and was truly delicious. The tortilla and homemade yogurt were also outstanding. And coffee while looking out at the morning sea was simply unbeatable.This was my first stay here, but what left the strongest impression was the exceptional hospitality—truly luxury Hotel service, yet with an added warmth in how they engaged with each guest one-on-one. I also felt reassured by how well information seemed to be shared among staff members, making for an extremely comfortable stay.I had such a happy time here. Thank you very much.
