Nango Prince Hotel, Nichinan Coast

It’s rare to find a Hotel this close to the sea. The view from the window is amazing. I’d love to stay again.

The view from the window is like a painting. Oshima and the surrounding islands form a natural breakwater, and the small enclosed bay offers calm, quiet waters reminiscent of the Seto Inland Sea. Relaxing on the sofa by the window while listening to the soothing sound of the waves, we watched large cruise ships making their way through the strait by Oshima toward Aburatsu. Whether enjoying coffee while admiring the sparkling sea or sipping beer under the night sky, we fully savored the wide-open views of sky and sea. The ocean view from the bath was also deeply soothing for both body and mind—we felt truly refreshed. We also sincerely appreciated the staff’s thoughtful, unobtrusive hospitality. The later checkout time was very helpful.
