The room I stayed in was clean, but due to the heavy rain, the sea was rough and I couldn't see any scenery...I could use the open-air bath whenever I wanted without it being crowded. The dinner was sumptuous and every dish was delicious. Breakfast was also delicious with a good number of items.One thing I wish for is that I would like it to be possible even for one person! It was really wonderful, so I wanted to stay again, but when I called, I was disappointed when I was told that they didn't accept solo guests.

This is a hot spring guesthouse right next to the sea with a great view. The facilities have a retro Showa feel, but the food is good in both quantity and quality! is.

I'm very satisfied with the food, bath, and location right in front of the sea.Even in Izu, where there are many good guesthouses, I think the cost performance is quite good.For the first time in a while, I took an open-air bath in a location that was nice to fill my stomach with food, and I was glad that the futon in the room was self-service, so I could do it at my own pace.

I stayed on a bike touring plan that included breakfast.Although it is a guesthouse, there is a toilet and sink in the room, and there are three shared baths (one of which is open-air with a sea view).When someone is in the room, it is reserved for private use, so that other people do not intervene. I'm glad that it can be used by couples and families as well.Breakfast is delicious. Why is breakfast at a guesthouse so delicious?They have a banquet hall, but they also have a breakfast room for each group, and I was impressed by how they put their customers first.The view is amazing! After taking a bath and going outside to cool off, I was greeted by the pleasant sea breeze, the sound of the waves, the night sky, and a sense of openness. It's too great.This is something you can't get at a seaside view hotel.For bikers, you can park your bike in the parking lot on the 1st floor.The owner was also very personable, and for those of us who didn't have a plan that included dinner, he was kind enough to say, ``It's perfectly fine to buy some side dishes from the supermarket and bring them into your room.Use them however you like.'' . .It was my first time staying here, but I am really glad that I was able to stay here. thank you very much!I'd like a plan that includes dinner next time.

I called the inn directly and used the 9,000 yen plan the other day.The room I was taken to was clean enough that I didn't feel out of place, and the toilet was clean, as if it had recently been renovated.I was able to use the bath without feeling any discomfort.The problem is the dinner, but I had high expectations after seeing the images posted by people who wrote reviews here, but I was disappointed.I can't be sure, but I think it was a caterer's dish.The only things made at the inn are rice and miso soup.However, if I am wrong in thinking that you are using a caterer and the food is cooked at the inn, then the rice will be sticky and strange at dinner and breakfast. I don't think I know how to cook.The miso soup was made with migratory crab, but judging from the contents of the dish, I think the caterer probably brought the crab as an ingredient to be used on the day of the meal.I don't know why the inn was named "Captain", but I don't think he is a fisherman or owns a fishing boat. There were two groups of people, but the sashimi was thin and the amount was small.If you are a fisherman and are selling what you catch, considering the number of customers on the day, apart from tuna etc., if you bring in one fish, I think there is no point in leaving half of it, even if you don't use it all. Therefore, I don't get the impression that it is a dish from a fisherman's inn, as I think the way of cutting and the amount is different.When I walk around the building to take a bath, I can't smell any cooking, and I can't smell the soy sauce used to make the stewed red sea bream in the photo posted by other people.Also, the 9,000 yen plan for the boiled golden sea bream sold in the area didn't even come with a fillet, so it comes with shrimp gratin, which I think is sold as a commercial ingredient. I think it would be better to stop that and use filleted kinmedai instead.Regardless of the taste, how many dishes will there be with a large number of dishes like the images you have uploaded, including golden sea bream?From the above, it seems like the food was prepared by a caterer, so it doesn't have the individuality of the hotel, but it's a collection of things, good or bad, so for those who accept it, if they serve amateur food that doesn't taste good, then... Some people may say that if you can do that, it would be better to have a caterer do it for you.Also, the people at the hostel are very friendly when we talk to them, but when we check out, we are not together with other people, so we pay the bill and greet them on our way home. Even though I was doing so, he didn't even come out from the checkout counter to see me off.We have received the above impression, but if you are reading this, please use it as material for your own judgment.

I stayed for one night without meals.A kind-looking old lady took care of me. The explanation was thorough and easy to understand.The room was also clean. There are only a few outlets, so if you're staying with multiple people, it's a good idea to bring an outlet tap. It was also nice that the hot springs were private.
