Beautiful hotel right on the beach. The staff were absolutely fantastic and were prepared to help take care of any need asked. The onsen attached to the hotel was very nice and from the hot tub you could look out at the ocean. Lastly the breakfast was a wonderful traditional Japanese breakfast that included sashimi, miso, rice, and several other items that varied day to day. We will absolutely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The hotel is situated right next to the sea and the sunsets are stunning. The room is big and quite comfortable. My only complaint is the toilet had a continuous noxious odour that may be from the backflow or exhaust of other units.
Loved the location right on the beach. I reserved a room that had a bathtub on the balcony with an ocean view which was nice. Lounge area with free tea, coffee and water was a pleasant space though I didn't make much use of it. Staff were friendly!
The one negative aspect was the breakfast. There was no option to choose between Western style breakfast (eggs, bacon, bread, pancakes etc) or Japanese style (fish, miso soup, rice etc). The quality of the Japanese breakfast was good but I don't particularly like fish and rice for breakfast, would have preferred a choice.
It's a property rich in history, culture, art, furnishings, aesthetics. Staff are helpful, informative, attentive. They are welcoming, friendly. The rooms are clean, diverse in style, comfortable, with great views of sky, water, beach, pine trees, islands, and mountains. Sandy beach and surf are just in front of the ryokan. The food is extraordinary, plentiful, delicious servings of traditional Japanese-style breakfast and dinner. The seafood is incredible. You must reserve for dinner by noon of the same day. Lunch is not currently being served. There are a few fine options nearby. The various choices for bathing, indoor and outdoor, are exceptional, a real highlight of our stay. The ryokan is inviting. We will happily stay at this ryokan again.
Must try the hotel’s breakfast and dinner, those are amazing even the kids meal.
The hotel is next to the beach, it is easily accessible to the beach from the hotel.
