Chita Peninsula Umi no Shougetsu

Following our stay at Shogetsu in Gero, we booked Umi no Shogetsu for our wedding anniversary trip. Both are located on a hill, and the view from the lobby was breathtaking. Binoculars were also provided in the Room.Every dish was delicious. What truly surprised us was receiving spiny lobster sashimi as a celebratory treat—we never expected that. The meat was wonderfully firm and had an exceptional flavor. We also enjoyed comparing Hida beef and Chita beef, not just seafood. For those who still wanted more at the end of the meal, both rice and soba were available, so we were fully satisfied with both quality and quantity. Even if you can’t finish your rice, they will make it into onigiri for a late-night snack.Breakfast also offered a wide variety of items, including five kinds of dried fish that you can enjoy in small portions.If I could make one request, it would be perfect if the drinks in the refrigerator were complimentary. Recently, many Accommodations with an in-room bath offer free drinks in the fridge.That said, all staff members were kind and welcoming with warm smiles, and the Room was spacious. Having ReFa shower fixtures and a ReFa hair dryer was also a big plus. Next time, we would love to stay in one of the single-story Rooms.

“I’m bringing my 90-year-old mother. She has no teeth, so she can’t eat hard foods. If possible, please accommodate her needs.”In response, they not only accommodated our request, but also kindly offered complimentary abalone sashimi to celebrate her 90th birthday, prepared a purple hat and celebratory vest, and took commemorative photos—my mother, I, and even my children were deeply moved. The weather was wonderful that day; the blue sea was set off by a beautiful sunset, creating an exceptionally stunning sky. My mother said that among all the Accommodations she has stayed at so far, this one was the best in terms of the people, service, meals, and baths.The private open-air bath attached to our Room—where we could relax while looking down at the sea from the hilltop—was also outstanding. This is one Accommodation we would love to visit again.
