5/5
Since the forecast was for rain, I decided to get a room without a view.When I entered the room with excitement, the rain had stopped and surprisingly, there was a spectacular view!Well, it's true that the lower half is on the rooftop, so I didn't get much praise for it, but I was able to see the sunset beautifully, and I could even see Nachi's Otaki Falls in the distance!There is also a hot spring called Youhou which is exclusively for guests staying at the Sanjokan, and the view from there is quite nice.The staff at the Sanjokan front desk were also very polite and gave me a good impression.

The inside of Sanjokan was also new and clean. The sunrise over the Pacific Ocean on the ocean side was absolutely beautiful.For dinner, I had a lot of seafood and Matsusaka beef sukiyaki (I would have liked a little more meat) and turban shell grilled meat, so I had plenty of them.However, my impression is that the employees are a little perfunctory or sloppy (although it's not unpleasant).Also, it can't be helped, but it's extremely far from Urashima's main attraction, Boki Cave, and the main front (probably about 10 minutes away). I also went to Genbudo Cave, but I think it took about 20 minutes to walk. (The main building closest to them faces the port, so the view is probably poor.)

An inn I would like to visit again.A turtle will come to pick you up just like in Ryugu Castle (lol)This is a wonderful inn that once you soak in the bath, you won't want to go home.By far, the quality of dinner and breakfast food at Sanjokan is higher.

It's confusing and inconvenient to have to take a microbus to get to the hotel.Over 100,000 yen for three people including two meals.Although the quality and quantity of hot spring water is good, it is a shame that the cost of maintaining the large facility makes the cost of lodging more expensive than it is worth.The room is good, but the facility is old and there is a slight musty smell in the hallway and escalator leading up to it.There are some large public baths, but they are so large that it can be a pain to go to them.

I took a corner room.The room has a comfortable window that allows you to watch the sunrise from the bed, and the tatami mats are new and spacious.The food was clean, delicious and very satisfying.In particular, the eel and turban shell at night were really delicious.

It's already the best.Anyway, it was a great hotel.All of the staff were very nice and I would definitely like to stay there again.Genbudo Onsen and Bokido Onsen are so much fun.This is the first time I've been to a hot spring where the waves hit right in front of my eyes and I was so excited.The quality of the water was also very good, and my skin became soft and smooth.The breakfast was also delicious, including grilled turban shells and steamed clams in sake.Next time, I would like to have dinner at the izakaya on the 1st floor.I'll be staying again.It was a really nice hotel and hot spring.

From the parking lot, head to the hotel by minibus or boat. Take the long escalator or elevator to Sanjokan. The escalator was open until 8pm.Bokido Onsen is also good. The scenery at Ouenzan Park was beautiful.There is a Lawson store that also carries souvenirs, which is very convenient. At Izakaya Minari, you can enjoy tuna dishes and Wakayama ramen.Sanjokan has a hot spring on the 33rd floor with a beautiful night view and is not very crowded. Towels can be borrowed at the front desk as many times as you like.The breakfast venue at Sanjokan was also on the 33rd floor and had a great view. The plum jam was delicious.
