Perfect stay here. The pictures don't do the place justice, the view is amazing, the rooms are spacious, there's a jacuzzi and the open air bath is luxurious. The room is filled with free snacks, drinks, beer and sparkling wine and there's a massive TV and comfortable futon beds. The WiFi is extremely fast. The place seems to be unattended by staff (maybe during weekdays they come?) However as we had no problems whatsoever we didn't need any staffPerfect place, highly recommend

If you are coming from the city, the scenery is nice and it might be good. As a local, I prefer guest houses (^_^;)

My family and I were looking for a room with an open-air hot spring bath for New Year's, and even though it's far from Tokyo, we booked this one!The room, location, and staff are so wonderful that you can't even imagine from the website.Both she and her 2 year old child are happy.I found a place that I don't want to tell anyone about✨

1. There was a note saying that there was no toilet paper and I had to walk 40 minutes to buy it at a convenience store. 2. The air conditioner was broken. 3. There were insects (7 ants, etc.), there was hair from the previous night's guest in the open-air bath, etc. . In this day and age, the cancellation policy is strict and aggressive pricing (you can't cancel in the first place...the full amount is taken at the time of booking!?)...What is it like? I was nervous as I was gambling, but... it turned out to be great! ︎Maybe I could stay again!?︎My family and I had very good memories. However, there's nothing around, so if the weather is bad, you might get depressed.I had some prerequisite knowledge from word of mouth, so I checked the air conditioner, checked the toilet paper, etc... everything was fine! ︎Basically, I tend to give a harsh review to everything...but my level of satisfaction is high.By the way, regarding ①, there is no convenience store within a 40 minute walk distance! ︎It's further away and it should take more time. Is it within walking distance? ? ? Is this true? Regarding ③, there are about ants. It actually came out...but it didn't feel that dirty, it was completely cleaned, and it was quite comfortable. Even if insects fall into the open-air bath due to the light, you can just scoop them up and throw them away. It might not be a good place for urban people who can't do that kind of thing! For people who don't mind that, it's a very relaxing space. However, I ordered sukiyaki for dinner, but...the meat seemed to be good, but I'm not sure if it's worth the 8,000 yen per person. Seasoning too...? ? ? Should I stop eating sukiyaki? The food may not be what you expect at the moment...Breakfast was also curry. In the first place, breakfast was not included in the plan, so maybe the curry for breakfast was a free service? I feel grateful just to be able to receive it...lol.There are many things, but overall, I could feel that the non-Japanese staff at the front desk tried their best to serve customers, and for my family, it was a comfortable stay. If I had the desire, I would have fresh seafood and fish for dinner, and Japanese food with one soup and three side dishes for breakfast...If that were the setting, I would definitely come back.

I stayed here for 2 nights the other day, but the only thing I saw was the view! ! That's what it felt like.The air conditioner in my room didn't work at all, so when I told the Chinese staff, I was told to bring a fan to my room and wait.When I asked to change my room, I had to wait in the hot room for over an hour to get ready, which was terrible. It was so bad that when my husband went to the front desk to complain, the Chinese man kept making incomprehensible excuses. In the end, I completely ignored this.Later on, I received a phone call from someone who said he was the chairman, but what can I do for him? I just keep asking for it.When I checked out, the Chinese staff handed me a pocket bag, and when I looked inside it was a mysterious 10,000 yen (lol)I will never come again. A price of 20,000 yen per night is reasonable.I paid a pretty good price, but I've never been to a place where the quality of service was so poor. This is just a view lol

I visited this place with three of my close mom friends on a tour of the 33 places in Saigoku.The view from the room is amazing.I wanted to keep watching the sea that I could see from the window never stop changing. Recommended for those who want to relax ☺Open-air bath. I think it would be better to take a bath during bright daylight hours since you will be bathing with insects at night.I spoke with the staff over the phone in advance about arrival time, etc., and they responded very politely and cheerfully.

The moment I entered the room, I was struck by the wonderful view. I was surprised at how open the restroom was 😂 Since I couldn't eat, I was planning to go somewhere to eat, but a female staff member told me I could use the kitchen to cook 😊 so I went shopping. I was able to eat while looking at a wonderful view. I was really healed by the lovely smile of the female staff, the best hot springs, and the best room ✨ It's a place I definitely want to go to again 😊 There were plenty of amenities. Dyson hair dryer was the best 😊

Along National Route 42 that runs along the coastline...A completely private trailer house next to the road where construction vehicles come and go. The atmosphere is completely different from that of a typical hot spring hotel. The hot springs are reheated on a timed basis...maybe because the source temperature is low. However, some rooms have an indoor bath and an open-air jacuzzi. In addition, each room offers a spectacular view that makes up for it. There are a lot of heavily equipped and expensive high-end open-air baths that are accessed from high ground across the road from the sea, but I like the humble open-air hot springs that are not across the road but cling to the coast and are close to nature. Morning sun, sunset, night sky...Perfect for those who prefer to leave things to their own devices rather than do everything in their power. Whether the price is appropriate depends on the preferences of the guests.
