3/5
Both the building and the service give off a nostalgic feeling of Showa era romance.You can enjoy a little time slip.There are two large public baths, and the baths are alternated between men and women. Only the right side has been renovated, and there is an open-air bath for one person and a cypress bath for one person.

The building and facilities are old but clean. There is a convenient shuttle bus near Ryotsu Port. They will leave your luggage for you quickly and are very kind. The hospitality was comparable to that of a luxury hotel.The guest rooms are traditional Japanese-style rooms, so even small children will have no problems.The quality of the hot spring water is good, but it's a shame that depending on the day of the week, you can only use the indoor bath. The newly built cypress bath and open-air bath are too small.

2024.9.16-18It was a Showa retro inn.All the staff were friendly and the meal was enjoyable.There were so many side dishes that I ended up having to refill the rice lolThe sashimi was delicious.The salmon in particular seemed delicious.I was happy to be able to eat Nagamo, a specialty of Sado.Crab not so good. There was not enough miso⤵️When I inquired about the refrigerator in a previous review, I was relieved to hear that they had replaced it with a refrigerator like the one found in regular business hotels.I asked them to keep the ice packs in the freezer at the store.Some of the stalls are recent and some are not, but the food items seem to be stocked with the latest products.I also bought a hand towel.The view from the room was spectacular and the sunset was very beautiful.The room was well cleaned and had a very clean feel.The baths were rotated, and the cypress bath and Shigaraki ware bath were very comfortable.The large bath has a low temperature so you can take a long bath.There is also a shuttle service from Ryotsu Port, so you need to make a reservation in advance.Since my rental car was close to the port, I made a reservation for the next day and was given a ride to Ryotsu Port.

The inn had a retro Showa feel to it, but I felt nostalgic in a good way. The cleaning was very thorough and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and there were no insects in the room like I saw in the reviews.(I can't handle being dirty and having insects)The food was delicious, the employees warmly greeted both adults and children, and it was a great time.

It has the scent of the Showa era. The food was delicious and the room was clean. The bath was also nice 💗My daughter ate 3 pieces of local ice cream (strawberry flavor) within 2 nights and 3 days.

The inn here was on a hill, and the view was good, and the food was good, but I was a little disappointed because the bath time was short. There is a shrine nearby where you can get an imperial seal, and you can see the history of Sado. However, some of the people I worked with were from Soka Gakkai, and I was harassed.Really, the Soka Gakkai people are just people who don't think anything of it.
