The room was clean and the corner room had a great view. I was a little concerned about the plumbing because it's a unit type, but the cost performance is much better than surrounding hotels, so I can recommend it.I was told that there is no dinner available this time of year, but it looks like it's quite elaborate and delicious, so I'd like to come back when I can eat the food next time.It was a sunny day, so I was able to enjoy the starry sky.

I stayed here about 2 years ago.The sea view from the balcony, the rooms, and the attentiveness of the staff are wonderful, making it the perfect hotel for a relaxing stay. Since we stayed on a new moon day, we were able to see a wonderful starry sky.Since it was the season when there was no dinner, I only had breakfast, but I could feel the deliciousness that was put into it.This is also a hotel that I definitely stay at when I go to the main island of Okinawa, and a hotel that I would recommend to others.

Thank you for staying with us for one night before Obon.The food, the room, and the service were all top-notch, and I'm glad I chose to stay here.In particular, the chef's dishes were so delicious that I didn't know if I could enjoy them even in Tokyo. Also, each time the food was served, the chef explained about the dish, and it was a meal that really conveyed his enthusiasm for the food and his attentiveness.It was an inn that I would definitely like to visit again.If you are visiting Kouri Island, please try staying overnight with meals included.thank you very much.

I made some great memories that I will never forget.From August 3, 2024Thank you for staying with us for one night and two days with the French full course and breakfast plan.I stayed in a Western-style DX twin room (corner room ocean front).It was a wonderful room with a panoramic view of the beautiful sea of ​​Kouri Island, giving you the feeling of a resort✨(The futon was so soft and fluffy that it felt great ☺️)The French full course was really great.Chef Kamata is particular about each item.I could tell that it was very carefully made.I was impressed with the delicate and elegant taste and appearance every time I took a bite.(Be careful not to eat too much because the bread is too delicious ⚠️)I also had a drink 🥂 to pair with the food, and it was really great.I was surprised when the sake came out, but it all matched the food.I thought it might be 5 cups too many, but it was gone before I knew it lolActually, on this day,Surprise proposal from your partner🌹I was very happy to receive everyone's blessings.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff who made various preparations for the surprise proposal.Thanks to you, I was able to make some great memories that I will never forget.I will come again!I hope to have a long-term relationship with you in the future.Thank you in advance😊🙏🏻

Thank you for your help with my family during Golden Week the other day.The room, the atmosphere, and the staff were all very comfortable. I only had breakfast, but it was very delicious.Although it is far from tourist spots, it is a great location for playing in the sea, there is no hustle and bustle, and there is an outside shower, which was very nice for us.I would like to take care of you again when you visit the main island!

We stayed for one night as a wedding anniversary and a place to relax after taking pictures before the wedding.The corner Japanese-style room had a spectacular view, and we enjoyed a welcome drink while enjoying the view from the balcony.I came here looking forward to dinner, and everything was truly delicious, and the alcohol pairing with the food was also great.I thought I wouldn't be able to see the sunset, but at the end of the day I was able to see a bright red sunset, and lying on the rooftop and looking up at the starry sky are memories that will last a lifetime.Of course, the breakfast was delicious, and everyone greeted us when we checked out, making it a wonderful memory of our trip!I would like to stay here again when I come to Okinawa.

My family of 4 used it from April 26th to 28th.It was a nice room with a great view, and the food was delicious. (And the coffee was delicious too!!)The best thing about it was that the owner and all the staff were very calm people, and the atmosphere was good and it was very comfortable!Thank you very much for taking a photo after checking out and for taking the time to see me off even though I think it was a busy time! !I would like to stay here again. (It's too bad that it's so popular that it's hard to make a reservation lol!)
