There are many small steps, so elderly people should be careful.The service from everyone at the inn was great and the location was great!

Apparently, the hot water in the bathhouse uses seawater.

The building is a bit old, but it was well-maintained, the toilets and air conditioning were new, and it was comfortable. To begin with, the room I stayed in felt like it was new. I used it during the spring break season, but I didn't meet many other guests in the building, and the bath was reserved for private use. When I took a morning bath, I could see a panoramic view of Ise Bay from the large public bath, but at night it was pitch black outside. The food was very delicious and the staff welcomed us warmly. I thought the TV in the room was a little small and the shop might be a little lonely, but I'm very satisfied.

The waiter was very friendly and talked to me about a lot of locals, but the food wasn't that great and the beach was right in front of me, so families with children can go into the sea.The room was old and only the toilet was new.

Perhaps due to the coronavirus pandemic, the number of customers was limited, but I hardly met any other people.There is a family bath that you can reserve and use, and it is an open-air bath with a view of the ocean.There is no washing space, so you can just take a soak in the bathtub.The changing area is right outside the bathtub. During the cold season, you will freeze until you get into hot water. Let's hurry in.The time I was able to make a reservation this time was a little early at 5pm, but I was glad that I could see the sea more clearly when it was bright.The room was a good one with a view of the sea.The room also has a bath, which is separate from the toilet, so if you don't want to take a bath in the public bath, you can do so in your room.Perhaps because of the time of day or because there weren't many people, I was able to use the public bath for private use on the day I stayed. The hot water in the public bath is said to be seawater.Dinner was very large.However, although it looked luxurious, the taste was not that impressive.The quality of the sashimi was the same as what you would buy at a supermarket. The soy sauce wasn't tasty...There was no menu, so there were a few things I was wondering about.I went with my 2-year-old, so I ordered some infant meals, but many of them seemed a little early. There were some things I could eat, but...It was also disappointing that there were some items that were of frozen food quality.You said you weren't very good at feeding young children...Breakfast was almost the same menu as adults.It might be better for slightly older children.Also, the room was quite dry.I thought it would be great if they provided a humidifier.It was nice to be able to see the sea, but the food was just average, so it ended up being an average-looking inn.

Great little inn on the water! The workers were so kind and accommodating. Our room overlooked the bay, so it was really lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the waves. It's a short walk to Meoto-Iwa from the hotel - a great location if you want to get over to see the sunrise! The room was clean and spacious with a little sitting area. The onsen was saltwater and overlooked the bay. Great little spot!

I used it on a trip. I was very satisfied with the room and the food, but the waiter's service was poor and I felt very uncomfortable. It was fine until I was brought in to have dinner in my room, but after that I was really disappointed in the service. 1. They kept asking me if I wanted white rice even though I said I didn't want it. Finally, bring it to your room. 2.He comes to pull out the futon for me about 2 hours after I start eating, even though I haven't received any explanation about the futon. 3. I came here with my girlfriend, but he kept making excuses and complaining to her only. 4. Employees keep talking nonsense and I can't get answers to what I want to ask. There were other things like that, but I felt very uncomfortable.In a good sense, it's an old-fashioned inn. In a bad way, I felt that the inn was nosy and hadn't adapted to modern times.However, the rice was very delicious.Purchasing drinking water inside the inn can be expensive, so we recommend bringing your own.Lastly, I was disappointed that the beer wasn't really cold, maybe because the refrigerator was an old type, or because I didn't put it in very long.Overall, I don't want to use it again.

The room had a musty smell and poor cell phone reception.The staff are all kind.The water is heated by seawater.

The building itself is old, but we had a great time there. The food was very voluminous, and I was able to enjoy it in my room and be satisfied. The bath is filled with seawater and is very slippery. There aren't many vending machines, so we recommend purchasing one in advance if you're staying overnight. It's close to the sea, so you can sleep while listening to the sound of the ocean, but it can be a little noisy when the sea is rough.

It was nice that the bath was kept away from the sea water.

It was a polite and good old inn. The rice was delicious, with spiny lobster, sashimi, and tempura, but the soup with dashi soup was especially delicious.
