I wouldn't recommend it to serious sauna lovers.The temperature of the sauna is quite hotBut the water bath was lukewarm and the smell of limescale was too strong.The water quality is not good because the water bath is not circulating and it just accumulates.It looks good at first glance, but the contents are not there, so I feel very disappointed.Due to the location, it is quite annoying that young children who are not used to saunas come here as if it were an attraction.Also, the metal handle on the sauna door can seriously cause burns, so I would like something to be done about it as soon as possible.

The room was a little small, but very clean! It's very easy to use as it's close to the ferry terminal!The sauna is also great! The breakfast was delicious and I ended up having lots of refills!Also, the owner was very considerate of me when I became ill, and they were very considerate and helpful!I'm really thankful to you! I'll visit you again!

I've been to many saunas, but this one had the lowest rating ever.First of all, I was surprised to find that the staff were using the seats while smoking in the prepared space, making it impossible for customers to sit.Furthermore, although the capacity was listed as 10 people, when we actually went there, there were 15 people who couldn't enter the sauna.I'll never come againIn terms of hygiene, the chairs smelled like mold, which was the worst.It will never come again.

I went to Himakajima to see Kinosuke-san on a sa-katsu trip. It takes about 1 hour from Nagoya Station to Kowa Port on the Meitetsu Line. After that, it takes about 20 minutes by ferry. Arrived at Himakajima West Port. The destination is about 5 minutes walk from the port.The sauna feels clean. There are two tiers of seats, and the temperature in the upper seats is a little over 90 degrees, but you can sweat comfortably.It is also a nice service that you can drink lemon water for free.There are plenty of chairs in the spacious space, and reclining chairs are also available. The water bath is deep, and I think it's about 15 or 6 degrees, but it's reasonably cold.The sauna here is designed for men and women to enter together while wearing swimsuits. It might depend on the day, but on this day, the customer base was in their 20s to early 30s, including several couples and one female-only group.

A beautiful guesthouse in Hinakashima with a wonderful sauna and delicious food.Dinner is as hearty as Ryugu Castle, with Himaka Island's specialty octopus boiled right in front of you, boatloads of seafood from the island, and abalone.Breakfast is luxurious with octopus shabu etc.From Shizaki Port, an hour from Nagoya, take a 15-minute ferry ride to Hinakashima. If you have a large group, water taxis are convenient and cheap.

The rice is delicious.Good location too.Good location.Just one thing,The sauna is above the guest room, so the line of sight is a concern.At night, the sauna room is very noisy and the room on the second floor makes noise even after 11pm, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.postscriptAround 0:00, I became concerned and consulted the front desk, but they only apologized and did not take any action.What's the point of ringing the sauna when it closes at 11 o'clock?It's still good during the day, but there's too little consideration.It's been a long time since I felt uncomfortable while traveling.What is Himakajima like? That's what I thought.disappointing. is.

I went there during spring break, so I was able to eat some puffer fish dishes. The kids were so impressed with their first puffer fish that they ate it up and quickly ran out of three servings of Tessa. It was delicious, so I should have made more reservations.It was my first time to eat Thai oyster shellfish, but it was very delicious and I highly recommend it.The view from the restaurant is spectacular.The room was very warm with floor heating.I visited during the coronavirus pandemic, but I was relieved by the customer service that showed their true faces.It had been renovated, and although it was old, it was a beautiful facility. This is an inn I would like to visit again.

From Kobe, take the expressway to the edge of Nagoya, take the ferry bound for Chita Peninsula for about 10 minutes, then walk to Hibikajima for about 2 minutes to find the puffer fish🐡Full course of Tessa's pot porridge until your belly is full, then eat octopus🐙. It also had a great sauna, which was great, and I would like to go again.

I went for the sauna and blowfish!The sauna is great because you can use it as much as you want! There was a cold bath outside and lukewarm water of about 30 degrees Celsius, and the ocean view and sunset view were wonderful.I was also satisfied with the pufferfish, which was more delicious than I expected.The room had an ocean view and was spacious and relaxing, but I found it a bit troublesome that the toilet and washroom were shared. I was glad that there was only one other group staying on the same floor and that there were separate toilets and washrooms for men and women, so I didn't have to wait to use the restroom. It hasn't been that long since it was renovated, so the inn was clean and I recommend it to anyone who likes saunas!

I used it at the island sauna. A beautiful and stylish sauna.It was a windy and cold day, so it was too cold to bathe outside. There weren't many chairs in the sauna or indoor rest area, so I couldn't really relax, as there were times when I couldn't sit down. Since it requires reservations, I wanted to use it at my leisure.
