My husband and I visited on the weekend with our elementary school grandchild. I asked for the Kamado Luxury Plan. At the ama hut inside the inn, we grilled large shellfish, abalone, spiny lobster, squid, dried barracuda, and rice cakes. All are very delicious. The Ama lady's grandmother baked it for me. The sea bream platter was fresh. We also had lobster and abalone as sashimi. The appetizers, mozuku vinegar and hijiki simmered, were also delicious. The sea urchin rice I had at the end was so filling that I made it into a rice ball and took it back to my room. Although it is not a modern and stylish inn, the rooms and toilets are clean and there is no inconvenience. The staff, including the proprietress, are also kind. On the way home, they gave me a souvenir of seaweed. I would definitely like to visit again.

You can eat fresh seafood grilled by Ama divers. It was a great experience to be able to taste seasonal ingredients while listening to the stories of Ama divers!

I stayed at Uonosu Kaiseki plan at the end of the year.After all, the food at this inn is amazing! !The impressive boat platter is filled with fresh, locally caught seafood and is a masterpiece! !The plump spiny lobster and crunchy abalone sashimi, as well as other sashimi, simmered dishes, and grilled dishes, were extremely delicious! !There are so many items that you are sure to be full! !Make sure you are hungry before dinner! !If you eat this in Kanto, it will cost you less than 10,000 yen.If possible, I would like you to stay for several nights and enjoy the difference from the first day.The butter-grilled abalone served on the second night while being grilled on a charcoal grill is also delicious.The rooms are not luxurious, but they are well-maintained, and the interior equipment has been renovated, making them clean and beautiful.The room has a toilet with hot water.The bath is a large public bath and is not attached to the room.The road is narrow so please be careful when visiting by car.There is a parking lot in front of the inn, although it is not very large.In the morning, you can enjoy the spectacular view from the lighthouse on the cape.

It was my first time staying here.There are many guesthouses in Toba City, but we decided on Marusen after reading other people's reviews.The result was very satisfying and full!The seafood for dinner was amazing.As soon as I entered the room, I was impressed by the variety of items available.The landlady then brought a boatload of food, and I was once again impressed by its luxury and quantity.The sashimi was very fresh and plump, and the steamed shellfish in the pot was also delicious. I was very happy because I don't often see or eat spiny lobster. The sea urchin rice kamameshi was also great with lots of sea urchin in it. A small bowl of hijiki, scallops, mozuku, and salted fish were all delicious and I wanted to take them home. If there was a souvenir, I would have bought it.I was surprised at how fluffy and crispy both the fried shrimp and fried white fish were.Apparently the proprietress' mother-in-law is a working seaman, so we were able to enjoy fresh lobster and abalone.For breakfast, we had boiled fish prepared from the sea bream head that was served in a boat at dinner. It had a gentle taste, was fluffy, and was exquisite. The miso soup was very delicious with plenty of dashi from the spiny lobster head.The room and bathroom were also clean.The bath was large and kept boiling until morning, so I could take a bath whenever I wanted.I was happy to hear that you kindly asked me to take a bath whenever you wanted.Yoroizaki Lighthouse is about a 5-minute walk from the inn.The landlady told me.I went around dawn and was able to see the sunrise.It's very beautiful. I was also able to see Mt. Fuji.The kindness and brightness of the hostess and the deliciousness of the food left me with really good memories.I would still like to stay the night.thank you very much.

We arrived in about 30 minutes from Toba Aquarium.I was able to relax in a quaint building.Dinner was a platter of sashimi, boiled fish, steamed shellfish, and fries, and I was very satisfied.The building itself is not new, but the restrooms were very clean which made me feel good.The rug in the changing room of the men's bathroom on the second floor was deformed and felt a little dangerous.Also, the airflow is weak because it is an old dryer, so I hope this can be improved.The price was cheap and overall I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity to stay at Marusen.

It was the best!I used it at the end of the year.I chose the plan where Mr. Kaito grilled the seafood at Irori, and the fisherman, who was about my grandmother's age, grilled the seafood while telling me various interesting stories.The sashimi was very fresh, and the charcoal-grilled lobster and squid were also delicious.The homemade rice cakes and pickles were also very delicious and filled me up, so I brought a wrap for the sea urchin rice and made it into a rice ball to take home.The response from the staff was also very good.I would like to visit again with my familythank you very much!

□MealsI was very satisfied with both the volume and taste!The seasonal abalone was crunchy but soft, and the liver was creamy and not bitter at all.The sashimi of the Ishiguro sea bream caught that day is also crunchy.What a luxury it is to receive seasonal produce locally!Ise lobsters, large clams from Kuwana, large asari from Chita, and thick, fine local mozuku and hijiki.Home-grown sweet and fluffy potatoes.The landlady's mother, an active ama diver, cooked the food right in front of us on a stove.It was so big that we couldn't finish it all, so we had rice balls with sea urchin and hijiki sea urchin and hijiki sea urchin and sea urchin sea urchin and hijiki sea urchin, and we had rice balls pickled in mirin and dried squid on plates for dinner.We had local beer and local highball served to our room, and we were able to have an evening drink in our room after the kids went to bed.□RoomThe building where the front desk is located feels old, but it was well kept.I guess the one I stayed in was a newly built annex that was renovated three years ago. It was so beautiful.The mattress on the bed was thin and hard, but it was typical of a tatami bed, so it was rather comfortable for someone like me who suffers from back pain.□ SurroundingsAs soon as you hear the chirping of the Red-bellied Red-crowned Sparrow and go down the hill, you will see a lighthouse in the crystal clear sea.It was a place rich in nature.It seems that this area dedicates dried abalone noshi to Ise Grand Shrine, and I was able to see the work being done the day after I stayed there.There is no convenience store, but there is an empty refrigerator in the room, and ice water, tea, and mineral water are available, and room service is available until 10pm, so I didn't feel inconvenienced.□BathIt is located in the main building, and although it is not large and old, it is kept clean.Since there were two groups of guests, the landlady divided up the locked women's bath and reserved it for us.It was too hot to go in with my kids, but since it was reserved, I was able to adjust the temperature by adding water.□Customer serviceThe proprietress was bright and friendly and had very pleasant customer service.

The customer service is good and the food is perfect! Funamori is amazing! Thai, abalone, spiny lobster, and turban shells. Your stomach will be full after a luxurious dinner.Unfortunately, it was an inconvenient location and the building was old, so I couldn't get any hot water at all, probably because the water heater in the bath was bad.

First time in Mie Prefecture. It was my first time staying here.The room was a Japanese-style room with a Showa era vibe, unlike the one on the website, but it was well-cleaned.There are large baths and baths for small groups, and if the timing is right, one person can use the bath exclusively.The landlady is kind and very kind and pleasant.The landlady's mother is an ama diver, and we were able to hear stories about the area, and as it is an Amimoto ryokan, the dinner was very fresh, big, and delicious! !The breakfast is so delicious that I end up eating too much in the morning.If you go a little further down from the inn, you can enjoy a walk along the beautiful coast and lighthouse overlooking the Pacific Ocean.It's difficult to get to without a car, but if I had the chance to go there, I would definitely enjoy the hospitality of the proprietress and staff again.
