I visited Golden WeekI was guided to a room on the second floor with a view of the ocean, and the view was so nice and I was able to relax and enjoy the weather.It was my first time to experience a black hot spring, but it was great because it made my skin smooth and had a moisturizing effect.The dishes were all delicious, incorporating locally sourced ingredients, and of all the white rice I ate on Sado, the one I ate at Irumi-san was the best.The beach is right in front of you, and there is a washing area and foot towel service, so it is recommended during the beach season.

I was really looking forward to it after reading reviews that the dinner was good...Dinner on the first day was all sweet and not edible (except for sashimi).There is almost no seafood,On the second day, I thought it would be sweet, but it turned out to be quite seasoned...how sweet was it from last night? I can only think that I made a mistake. .As expected, the structure remains the same, only the content is slightly different. . Seafood is a bit of sashimi and simmered,It's a shame. On this day, the rice was freshly cooked.There was a wait, but it was delicious.Is the rice for every meal kept warm? ? ?That said, the rooms are well-cleaned⭕️On the first day of the hot spring, the smell of urine was really bad. On the second day, I took a bath late, so I didn't soak in the hot spring.3rd day! I finally got into a proper hot spring and thought it was a very nice hot spring. It's warm.Will it be over capacity when there are a lot of people?When I go to Sado again, I would like to stay here without meals.

A good old inn. Although it feels like it's aged, it's good enough for a stay, and for dinner and breakfast you can enjoy the delicious food that only a ryokan can provide. The food was prepared in the dining hall, and the explanations were thorough and the food was delicious.The guest rooms are Japanese-style rooms with air conditioning and fan heaters to keep you warm.There is a large public bath, so please use the bathroom in the guest room.The washing area was covered with something like thin tatami mats, which gave it a novel atmosphere.

It's an old inn.It is close to Sawada Beach, and the hot springs are lukewarm so you can take a relaxing bath.I was surprised that the bathhouse had tatami mats, but it was very comfortable as it was an indoor bath and you could stay until late.The one thing that was disappointing was that the food had very little seafood and portions, which was disappointing.

Cooking is good. Good service. Dinner is fine. Breakfast wasn't good enough, there was no coffee, etc. I didn't feel like I was putting in the effort. The bath was nice, but there was no air conditioning in the changing room, so it was hot. There was no air conditioning in the hallway either, so it was hot. The rooms are small and feel old. The toilet paper in the toilet was located at the front, so children couldn't reach it.After all, it was painful that there was no washbasin. It's an inn that feels like it's used for training camps for high school students.This is the next inn that I would not use on a family trip.
