5/5
The inside of the hotel is clean and the reception staff are very helpful.However, the last check-in time is 23:00, so it looked like I was going to be a little late...but I definitely didn't change this time.The building is old, and the exterior looks a little strange...Perhaps because of the location, insects often sneak into the rooms. (There is an earth jet at the entrance of the room)Honestly, it's a hassle to have to lay out your own futon. If you are staying for multiple nights, you will have to go to the front desk to get your own bath towels.just! The sea views from the rooms and open-air baths are amazing!It's close to the sea and you can hear the waves when you're in the room.We recommend a room on the upper floor with a nice view.The open-air bath from the top floor offers an unobstructed view of the ocean, and the view is truly spectacular.There may be some accommodations that say things like ocean views and think it's not as big as you think, but this place is definitely in a great location.I go to sleep listening to the sound of the waves, and when I wake up and open the curtains, I am greeted by the sea.Also, they sell handmade rice balls and sandwiches for 100 yen at the front desk, which makes me feel warm.The facility is clean, and the staff are very helpful. However, the latest check-in time is 11:00 PM, and I was running a bit late… but they were firm about not extending that time.The building shows its age, and perhaps due to the location, there are some insects that make their way into the rooms.But most importantly, the view of the ocean from the room and the open-air bath is amazing! The ocean is so close, and you can hear the sound of the waves from your room. I highly recommend the rooms on the upper floors. From the open-air bath on the top floor, you get an uninterrupted view of the ocean, and the scenery is truly incredible.There have been times when a place claimed to have an ‘ocean view,’ but it didn’t live up to expectations… but this place is absolutely stunning. The location is perfect.Also, the front desk sells handmade rice balls and sandwiches for 100 yen, which adds a nice, homey touch.

I always go fishing when I stay overnight. Also, the family service helps us when we go swimming at the beach.You can change your plan depending on whether you want to stay overnight with meals or without meals.Is there a welcome drink in the entrance lobby? In Tateyama, you can enjoy salvia coffee from a very delicious and stylish shop ♪It's so delicious that I'm addicted to it, and since it's nearby, I stop by Salvia Coffee on the way home and buy some coffee beans before heading home. It's very delicious, so it's a recommended shop for coffee lovers ♫For dinner, you can order light meals at the front desk, such as curry rice, cutlet curry, katsudon, oyakodon, etc. We recommend that you eat them at a low price.If you want to eat additional fish or sashimi, you can buy them at the nearby ODOYA supermarket.■Super ODYA is a little far away (Kyonan store), but it is recommended as it is large and has a wide variety of fish. The fresh fish corner is popular so get there as early as possible🐟️Recently, I decided on a plan that includes seafood.Although the price is high, it was very delicious. It was hearty, with fried horse mackerel, grilled turban shells, and crab soup🎵The room is quite simple, but clean and beautiful. It's my favorite corner room that I always use, and it's bright and open, but the TV is a little compact, so it's a little small for me because I have farsightedness (lol)Also, I think it depends on the room you're staying in, but if you plan on cooking in your room, I recommend bringing your own knife, even if it's a hassle.It's still difficult to cut. Push! Pull it!I have to work hard like a saw💦When making a reservation, even if the price is a little high, if you choose a higher floor, you will get a beautiful view from the room. Especially the sunset is the best♪If you are a family with children, we definitely recommend a higher floor. It's also close to the public bath on the top floor.It's not far from the sea, so it's perfect for families with children to enjoy fireworks on the beach at night and stargazing.The breakfast buffet is cheap and delicious.Local ladies will provide you with over 30 kinds of homemade dishes.

I made a reservation for the Funamori course. It really feels like an apartment and I feel like I've come back to my own home. The room is a Japanese-style room with an ocean view, and the bath is right in front of the sea, and when you soak up to your shoulders, you feel like you are one with the sea. It was close to the beach, so I could take a walk in the morning, and the buffet of dried horse mackerel that I grilled myself was so fresh and delicious.

A hotel that looks like a converted condominium. The view from the hot spring on the 12th floor is nice, but it was raining heavily that day!
