The sea view from the room is amazing! There is an open-air bath that you can go up the stairs to the large public bath and sauna. It was cloudy on the day I stayed, so I couldn't see much of the sunset, but I'm looking forward to the next time. I had a buffet for the meal, and I was surprised by the size of the grilled turban shells and fried shrimp! I was very satisfied and delicious with all-you-can-drink alcohol 🤗 After my stay, I received a photo from the hotel, which brought back memories of Yunoko, and the staff. Thank you for your hospitality.

I stayed on August 18, 2024.I love buffet so much that I always choose buffet when staying overnight, and to be honest, this is the best I've ever been to.Boat platter (striped horse mackerel, swordfish, sea bream, amberjack), sushi, steak (Japanese beef), grilled turban shell, fried shrimp (giant shrimp), Wagyu beef curry (meat piled high), arajiru (the most delicious thing I've ever had in my life)...・You can also drink alcoholic drinks as much as you like.At this price, this offer is amazing. I was impressed! Also, all the staff members were kind, polite, and wonderful.It is characterized by its high content of sodium bicarbonate, making it a refreshing hot spring that will leave your skin smooth and smooth after a bath. In addition, it was a wonderful hot spring with an abundant amount of hot spring water flowing directly from the source.

Although the hotel itself is not new, it was a wonderful hotel where you could feel that they tried their best to provide hospitality to their guests with a limited budget.Even before check-in, they lent me a room for swimming at the beach and had shower facilities, which was really helpful.And the best part is dinner.I've eaten buffets at various hotels in Kyushu, and they were really delicious.Well, if you spend money, you can get something luxurious.However, the food was really delicious despite being particular about local production for local consumption, and the staff at the venue were very attentive and I was impressed.It was a hotel I would like to visit again.

I stayed at GW.The food is amazing, not at a buffet level, and the sashimi includes hairtail, yellowtail, sea bream, and flounder. It's freshly made and fresh! But it's not just the main course, the miso soup, somen, mozuku, and chocolate cake are all delicious! The morning is amazing too! No-frills cuisine. Also, the staff's love for the hotel and their hospitality are the best!The bathroom is also spacious and fully equipped with amenities and equipment! ! Please come and see us! I want to go again! !
