4/5
I used it for one night.Even though the front desk was crowded, I was greeted immediately as soon as I entered the entrance. Before that, the guide staff helped us smoothly when parking. There are many friendly staff throughout the facility.The room has a good view if it's sunny. You can also see the lighthouse. Also, it's really helpful to have good Wi-Fi. There are few outlets, so we recommend bringing an extension cord and tap.I didn't do a detailed check of the rooms, which have signs of the era in many places, but I feel like the cleaning is done very well.There are no notable facilities near the beach, so if the weather is bad, you have no choice but to stay inside the hotel, but when that happens, you are limited in what you can do inside the facility. I like game corners in hotels like this, but unfortunately they were closed.Is dinner the main course? When you check in, you can choose between the 1st or 2nd time, but to be honest, seeing the scene of people waiting for you even before the first time starts, I think that's what everyone is looking for. It's great that there are so many types and they have a handmade feel to them. In terms of luxury or not, it's worth the price, but that's not what I'm looking for.Personally, I liked the horse mackerel namerou. However, the selling point is seafood, and when I went there, the only sashimi available was Spanish mackerel, so I would be happy if they offered at least one more type of local sashimi. For sushi? There were some stories in there, but they were clearly not from this area. I wish they would at least have horse mackerel sashimi.If anything, grilled meat is probably the main thing.It seems like the seafood ingredients for grilling have already been cooked to a minimum, so it's not particularly difficult, so I think it would be fun to grill just a little bit to create a nice atmosphere. Set up the equipment and use solid fuel as a chukkaman. Also, people who don't like smells on their clothes need to take this into consideration. However, it's not that full.The chef will prepare tempura and steak (pork) for you. Depending on the time? We also have ingredients for petit hotpot, so you can enjoy things other than grilling. Some of the vegetables seem to be grown by themselves in the back. There are endless combinations of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, as well as noodles.Since replenishment is done frequently, everyone will be a little nervous right after the buffet starts, but it will calm down after a while, so it might be a good idea to wait a little while. I don't know if it depends on the day, but there's a lot of alcohol and you can practically drink as much as you want, so it might be good for those who like drinking.On the other hand, the bath is not a hot spring and there is no open-air bath, so it is better not to have high expectations.Breakfast felt normal since dinner was luxurious. It's not bad at all. However, if seafood is on sale, I would have liked the grilled salmon for breakfast. The omelets prepared by the chef are delicious. From what I've heard, the croissants on sale have changed from before. It seems like it's gone. Dried fish? Please be careful if you are concerned about the smell like dinner.It's really good that there are plenty of condiments for both morning and evening. Grated radish, nameko mushrooms, and seaweed tsukudani? We also combined and ate them.My thoughts on things that are often mentioned are:The building itself is old and has definitely aged due to the influence of the sea breeze, but it has a Showa feel everywhere. The parts that make you feel nostalgic actually look fresh. It is full of highlights such as halls and passageways that are no longer in use, and old-fashioned elevators. It's a little scary to ride the elevator lolIt's the smell that others have mentioned, but even though I'm aware of my nervousness, it didn't bother me, at least not around me. The toilet in the room didn't bother me that much either.Of course, if you are used to going to modern, clean places like resort hotels, you should think twice. I don't think such people will be considered as candidates, but just in case.It's ★4, but actually it's somewhere between ★3 and 4. As long as you understand it and use it, you won't feel bad about it; in fact, you'll feel good about it.After all, I think the evaluation will change depending on whether the meal is satisfying or not.

We had an all-you-can-eat seafood and all-you-can-drink course.I can't say the quality of the food is the best, but it's good value for money.

I stayed here about 20 years ago before it became part of the Itoen Hotel Group, and it was still the same as it was back then. At that time, they were doing night shows, what do you think?The bath in the large public bath is neither too hot nor too loose, so you can stay in the open-air bath for a long time! Feels so good! Isn't it super cost-effective for less than 9,000 yen for a one-night, two-meal buffet? It's a bit disappointing when it comes to sightseeing, but if you think about traveling in a tropical hotel, it'll be great.

Cheap and all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat filling 🍻It’s a pity that the bath ♨️ doesn’t have an open-air bath 💔

Although the facility is old, the ocean view from the room was spectacular!Unfortunately, the only seafood grilled on the dinner buffet was turban shells, shrimp, and scallops!I preferred the breakfast buffet!
