2/5
So far, I have stayed at four guesthouses on the Sotoura coast, one hotel, and one guesthouse in Shimoda.I stayed here at Terawaki for 2 nights.Unlike hotels, there is less information on guesthouses, so please use this as a reference for those considering it.-Good points・You can see the sea from your room・The bath has a nice atmosphere with a rock bath and Showa tiles.The hot water flows directly from the source (it's quite hot, so you'll need to refill it with water)When you open the window of the bath, you can see the sea (the window is about 160cm above the floor, so you can't see it while soaking in the bathtub.It faces the street, so when you open the window, you can see people walking on the street) You can see this fromThere is only one bathroom, but it can be reserved for private use (all guesthouses in Sotoura have family baths).-What wasn't good・The business is run by an elderly woman who seems to be single in her 70s, and there are two more working during the day to help with cooking and cleaning, but the mother is unfriendly.Along with that, the other female employee in the kitchen was also unfriendly (no smile at all).The cleaning lady is friendly and kind ◎・There is a wide variety of dishes, but the seasoning is not all that good and there are no items that I think are delicious, so I was disappointed.The mother who cooks and the employees are not good at cooking.I want to stay at a seaside guesthouse and eat my fill of delicious seafood! I was looking forward to it, but I was disappointed because it wasn't delicious at all.I can't recommend it to people who like delicious food or gourmet food.・There is no refrigerator, which is very inconvenient. All of the other guesthouses in the area have a shared refrigerator for guests to use.If you really want to use the refrigerator, you can store it in the refrigerated stocker in the rental shower hut for beachgoers across the road from the inn, but don't ask the landlady every time you take out beer or water. I don't like the fact that every time I do this, I get nagged and look like I'm bothered.・There are no towels. When I asked about towels, I was treated coldly, saying, ``It's a guesthouse, so it's natural that there aren't any towels.'' Of course, there are also guesthouses that provide towels and yukatas. (Nearby Minshuku Chidori)・There is a washing machine for guests, but there is no detergent and there is no detergent for sale (there are no stores or convenience stores nearby that sell detergent).Summer beachgoers end up with a lot of laundry. Despite this, I feel that the landlady is being mean rather than being inconsiderate that there is no detergent.*All other guesthouses come with a washing machine and free detergent.A mother with a child was at a loss when she had to deal with a large amount of laundry.-OverviewA guesthouse with an unfriendly mother, unsmiling employees, unappetizing food, and inconsiderate service. The only good things are the location and the bathroom.I have to ask the landlady to do anything, and I feel like I'm being watched by the landlady, so I can't relax.The guests, especially mothers with children, were so attentive to the landlady that I felt sorry for them.If that were the case, your family trip during summer vacation would be a disaster as you would end up returning home tired and carrying a large amount of laundry.From the above, there is no reason to choose Terawaki.Of course no repeats.I made a reservation based on the reviews that praised the food and the hostess, but I was completely fooled (lol)😢It's really difficult to stay at a guesthouse because you need to be compatible with the hostess. This place was the worst🥵We recommend Hot Spring Minshuku Chidori, Minshuku Mise, and Minshuku Nishihiko◎

100m walk from the sea, the facility is old but clean, each meal is handmade, and the sashimi and boiled fish are excellent. The bath is spacious, hot and comfortable after swimming in the sea. The mother of the hostel is a very nice person!
