Stayed on the first floor where you can fish from your room.Although we didn't catch much, the service was very good, as they cooked the fish we caught and made fish prints for us.The restaurant serves fresh and delicious fish such as live sea bream, lobster, and abalone sashimi.

My family of four stayed here for one night from June 30th to July 1st.I had to wait several months for a room on the first floor where I could fish, so I stayed in a room on the second floor where I couldn't fish.Mr. Nakai had a soft-spoken yet polite and quick customer service, and the front desk staff were also attentive to the customers at every turn, making it a stress-free experience.・Fishing spotThere is a pier in front of the parking lot, and I went fishing with the expectation that there were black sea bass and red sea bream migrating right in front of me, and there were also resident root fish.It was a cloudy day with occasional rain, but there were always kisses during the day, and we caught about 20 kisses in total.You can eat the fish you caught for dinner until 5:30 p.m. The kisses we caught between 3:30 and 5:15 were tempura and grilled with salt, and they were delicious.At night, I went fishing for big fish, and I was able to catch a 30cm class red sea bream, and I caught one at the pier.・ Rockfish ・ Megochi ・ Kiss ・ Holly・Red sea bream ・KusafuguOn the same day, anglers in other rooms seemed to be fishing for seigo, conger eel, and soi.It was a very satisfying catch.・Guest roomIt looked like they were living in a building that was vulnerable to tides and had to be repaired by people.It was a standard building with a toilet, sink, living room, and wide veranda, but it was kept well-maintained.To say the least, it was old-fashioned, but personally I found it to be very tasteful (both my wife and child were very satisfied).・BathEnjoy two large public baths that change daily.One is a small cypress (?) bath, and the other is a slightly larger bath.I'm not sure why, but my wife (who travels a lot) raved about it. I kept saying calm down.・Open-air bathThis is a private stall that you can rent for 2,000 yen for 30 minutes.You can see the sea and the fishing spot, and enjoy the sound and scent of the ocean. It seemed like warmed seawater and had a slight salty smell.The bathtub filled with gravel was comfortable for my feet and I felt a little hot.·mealIt was dinner after going to another so-called popular restaurant before staying there, but even compared to there, the food at Kai-Rakuen made me feel the skill of the chef (it was better than that).There are so many dishes that you can't fit them all on your desk, and you can feel the care that goes into each one.In addition to the raw spiny lobster, I personally loved the sweetly boiled oysters, and the large fried shrimp had a wonderful texture. From the miso soup to the pickled vegetables, I could feel the uniqueness of the inn and everything was wonderful.I have stayed at hotels in the same area that cost 30,000 yen per person per night, but I felt that the food at Kaiurakuen was top class.So, today (7/2) after I returned home from my trip, I made a repeat reservation.Thank you again.(postscript)Repeated on 9/22-23The food, bath, and room were all just as satisfying as in July.For fishing, just cast and fish from the pier.I caught 7 kisses, 1 rockfish, 1 rockfish, 2 conger eels, 6 red sea breams (chariko 18cm, 16cm and the others were small fish), 1 mantis shrimp, 1 goby, and tons of puffer fish and gonzi.It was a perfect catch for gomoku fishing.I think I'll visit you again when the water temperature gets warmer, thank you again.

It was my first time at such a terrible inn. lolIt's nice to be able to fish in your room.There's really nothing else to write about. lolThe worst part was the dinner, and the problems before that, like how it tasted.Dirty dishes and hair? Things like that were scattered around.As expected, I was horrified and wondered if this was okay? When I asked the staff about it, they were so flustered that they didn't really check, and that's just the way it is! He quickly leaves.I couldn't take it all anymore and checked out on the spot that night.What happened? If there is something that you are not satisfied with, you will have to pay for it. The staff member who asked me this question was the only one who seemed reasonable.Of course, we paid for the food and the room was opened for us.I thought it would be more of a nuisance to the inn to talk about this and that on the spot in the hectic hours of the night, so my choice was to leave the inn before we both had any more unpleasant feelings.After that, I stayed at another hotel as an emergency and headed home the next day.I will never go there again, but I think most people come because of the claim that you can fish from your room.So was I. However, from then on, I started staying at nice inns along the coast and fishing nearby.thank you very much. The price is cheap, so why not give it a try?

The spiny lobster was very delicious and it was a luxurious dinner. There were some reviews saying that the breakfast was poor, but it was sufficient.You can fish from your room, and you can also enjoy the private open-air bath. However, the building is old and cannot be described as beautiful. It has been well taken care of so there is no discomfort.The staff who serves the food is a huge disappointment.First of all, you can sit right next to the chair and it's close. Even after the food was served, I didn't leave the room right away and took a break, so I felt awkward eating while the staff were watching me even though I was eating in my room.On the way, I thought I couldn't find my towel, but the staff was using it. I asked for a replacement and received a new one, but no apology.We ended up staying in the room and watching the fireworks together even when the fireworks were coming from our room, which we were looking forward to. I wanted to have fun with him, but he sometimes talks to me. When the fireworks finish, before you can feel the afterglow, you can immediately turn on the lights, saying, ``This is the end! Hey! I'll turn on the lights!''After this, I was told that they would come to lay out my futon, and since I wanted to play card games at the desk, I asked if I could move the desk, and she replied, "Not the desk, oh! Fu! To! Huh! I'm coming to lay out my futon!" For some reason, I got angry.Maybe it was because I heard her complaining about staying the whole time during the fireworks.It would be nice if it was around 20,000 yen per night, but you can't get this by paying 30,000 yen. No matter how delicious the food is, I can't cover my dissatisfaction!It's not the inn's fault, it's the individual staff's response, so if you're dissatisfied with your stay, you should ask to change the person in charge as soon as possible.Also, I can't help it because it was my mistake because I didn't check properly, but when I asked, "Do you have fishing bait?", they didn't even give me a price, so I like the service! I was thinking that, but in the end they took my money. I was told that I could use a rod if I didn't have one, but there was also a charge for that. Please note that you will not be given a price at the beginning.

The first floor is a miracle hotel where you can fish from your room. However, it is a bit difficult at low tide.The dishes are mainly fish and are hearty.Book early to get a seat on the first floor!This is the hotel where Kinsangin stayed in the past♪

Total of 4 points.5 points for food, customer service, and location!The photo is of a kiss that I caught and cooked.The hot springs are a little small, but the quality seems to be good.However, you need to be careful as the open-air bath has an angle where you can see inside from the fishing raft. In fact, I made eye contact with the angler.Also, the sounds (footsteps) and voices echo very well inside the building. I get the impression that it's strict when it comes to getting a good rest.Lastly, regarding fishing, I think you can catch something if you just cast it a little and keep it attached.Rentals within the facility seem a bit strict.

I went without meals.Fishing → Room fishing can be enjoyed as a game.→Raft is recommended for serious enthusiasts.Guest room → My wife smells...→I don't care about children.The person at the front desk was very kind.I would like to use it again 😄

I stayed here for 2 nights with my mother as it was my last trip. I had a problem with the food on the first day and thought it would be the worst memory of my trip, but the next day the manager apologized and the food on the second day was absolutely delicious. When I got home, my mother was also happy. Thank you to all the staff!

The fishing rod is the best.In mid-March, I caught a whole conger eel from my room.
