Aspect: Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel in Japan! The staff went above and beyond to make sure my family and I felt welcome and comfortable. They even acted as translators when my passport was lost, which was a huge help. The hotel is located right by the ocean, with beautiful traditional houses surrounding it. It's a perfect choice for a self-drive tour and a great escape from the typical tourist spots. The rooms are spacious and offer breathtaking views of the ocean, especially from the onsen on the top floor. And the breakfast, included in the stay, was absolutely delicious.

All was fantastic during my stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel located directly on the beach, and it truly was a wonderful experience. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure that I felt welcomed and comfortable throughout my stay. The attention to detail was impeccable, as the rooms were beautifully decorated with a modern touch, and had a sofa positioned perfectly to enjoy the breathtaking sunset views from the 5th floor. The hotel also had an onsen on the top floor, allowing guests to relax and unwind while taking in the stunning ocean view. Additionally, I was delighted to find that the hotel offered a delicious breakfast included with my stay, which was both beautifully presented and incredibly tasty.

No improvements needed - everything was absolutely perfect!

This hotel was such a great find! The value for money was excellent, especially considering the amazing ocean view from our room on the 5th floor. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We loved the attention to detail, like having a sofa in the room to view the beautiful sunset. And to top it all off, breakfast was included and it was absolutely delicious!

All was perfect.

What an incredible Christmas experience! A beautiful place on the beach with warm and English-speaking staff, making it easy to communicate. the room had an amazing ocean view, and the onsen on the top floor provided the perfect relaxation. We also loved the lounge and terrace area for watching the sunset. the food was so delicious, and the staff explained each dish before closing the curtains for complete privacy. We especially enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast and fresh seafood. And the best part? the outdoor area right near the beach - a perfect place to relax with a book or just take in the view.

the only thing worth mentioning is that the hotel is in a somewhat isolated location, making it more suitable for those with a car.

The hotel was easy to find and I received a warm welcome, especially from the male reception staff who even helped me with my luggage and provided an umbrella on a rainy day. The room with the private onsen had a fine view of the ocean, and the public onsen was also very spacious and enjoyable. The hotel also provided excellent presentation and delicious meals, especially the seafood.

Not one thing.

Located in a peaceful small bay, this traditional Japanese retreat for couples offers an unforgettable experience. Guests can enjoy relaxing by the seaside or exploring the nearby attractions in the next bay. the rooms are spacious, some with private outdoor baths and stunning ocean views. the staff provide exceptional service, making guests feel at home as they explain the details of the room and offerings of the property. the meals are outstanding with fresh seafood and a fantastic presentation. For those who enjoy traditional Japanese breakfast, this is an ideal spot.

The decor could be updated.

The private onsen tub was a wonderful way to relax during our New Year's stay. Our room also had a stunning view of the ocean which was beautiful to wake up to. In terms of location, the hotel was conveniently located near a beach and there were plenty of nearby restaurants to try out.

We found the staff to be quite unenthusiastic during our stay. We didn't feel very welcomed and they seemed to lack the warmth we were hoping for during this special time of year.
