Since it was a weekday, we were able to have a relaxing time as the place was reserved.

The dinner dishes came out one after another and I couldn't finish them, and I couldn't even touch the last three dishes.No matter how delicious something is, if you have too much of it, only pain will remain.I think the ingredients are fresh and good, but the sea bream and flounder in the boat were disappointingly watery, probably because they weren't drained properly when they were cut. Next time, I'll go eat some really delicious fish. I look forward to it

There is a steep staircase leading to the room on the third floor.Indoor toilet no refrigeratorShared washbasin and toilet on the same floor.No Wi-Fi.An old-fashioned guesthouse. It feels old and has some damage, but somehow I don't think it's dirty.The bathroom also felt and smelled well maintained.The service was very good as it was run by a husband and wife and their son.Dinner. Reservation for 1 adult and 1 6th grader (treated as an adult). My son isn't very good at eating fish, so I told him when making the reservation that it would be helpful to have some fried food, and they replaced the grilled fish with fried skewers. Thank you for your response. All the fish are exquisite! ! Everything is really delicious. The fried sea bream scales were so shocking that my son ate it all by himself. My son and I were so moved by how they fried the bones of the horse mackerel, fried the skin, and didn't waste any ingredients, so we had to thank them😊Although he doesn't usually eat fish, he ate a lot of raw fish.After all, you can eat delicious food! ! I've never eaten tataki horse mackerel before, but I ate as much as I could.I want to go again to eat! !Azuri Beach, the closest beach to the inn, also had very clear and beautiful water.

For fish lovers, this was a great selection of dishes.I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it all by myself, but I forgot to drink alcohol and finished it all. In addition, it comes with a boat platter.This time I want to bring my parents.

We chose the plan that comes with a platter of luxurious seafood such as spiny lobster, flatfish, and abalone.I had a very good stay in many ways.This time I traveled with a 2 month old baby.I made a comment when I made the reservation, and they gave me a vacant room next door, so I was able to accommodate my child with ease even when my child cried at night.Dinner was also served in a private room, so even when I cried during the meal, I was able to eat slowly without worrying about those around me.We need to sterilize baby bottles, so we borrowed a bucket, put a plastic bag inside it, and created an improvised baby bottle sterilizer.There may be quite a few options, but they seemed to be flexible as long as it wasn't busy, which was very helpful.I chose this meal for my wife who loves seafood, but is it enough for two people? I was surprised by the amount.There is enough food for about 5 people.I love sashimi, so I still enjoyed it beautifully.The fried sea bream skin was unexpectedly delicious and became my wife's favorite.The sea bream itself was surprisingly fatty, and I found the fat to be delicious.Naturally, the spiny lobsters came out the next morning completely clear.The only disappointing part was the fruit in the final dessert.Dessert is an extra charge, so I would have liked more. The orange and kiwi were both delicious, so just one slice was not enough.Ah, the deep-fried sea bream scales were a little salty, so I think it would be nice if you could make it a little salty in advance and add some salt next to it to adjust the taste.Breakfast is served in the banquet hall on the second floor, but unfortunately it's a mediocre experience.The heads of spiny lobster left over from the previous day's luxurious dinner were used as soup, but the heads of flounder and sea bream were not reused.I think it would be great if this could be grilled or simmered.Overall, it feels very good.The building looks like an old guesthouse, and the view from the room I stayed in is not particularly good, but if you're looking for great service and food, this is the place for you.Also, there were some 1 star comments about the food, but I somehow understood them.The portion is so large (not unusually large) that by the time you eat it, you may end up feeling fuller than the taste.No matter how delicious it is, if I eat too much of the same thing, I get bored of it, so I think that's probably the reason.If my wife's brother is a Muslim and he eats fish, I would like to bring my brother-in-law's fish next time.thank you very much.

This trip, I wanted to enjoy cooking and my husband found this place because I like sashimi.I was able to have an enjoyable meal with sashimi and food that exceeded my expectations.When my husband said he wanted to see the sunrise, he also told me a nice place.The breakfast was also light to the taste of my wife and I, and we were very satisfied with everything.Go around Meoto Iwa etc.On the ferry ride home, I talked about how much I wanted to go there again, and even showed the photos to friends I met that day and bragged about it.It was a fun and wonderful tripthank you very much.

This is the second time I have come here.Recommended for people who want to eat lots of fresh fish at a great price! ! (The photo shows the special plan with funamori. Starting from 2 people, it will be served in funamori.)Funamori's sea bream and spiny lobster are very delicious, but the best dish is the small horse mackerel, where the chef's detailed work shines. I like tataki.As for bottled beer, you can choose Asahi or Kirin, and it costs about 800 yen. There was also an Ise-limited drink called ``Saku'' on the alcohol menu. I think this was about 900 yen for a glass.The room is a normal Japanese-style room, and although it doesn't have a great view, it is well-cleaned and comfortable.(By the way, dinner is served in a separate private room, and breakfast is served in the banquet hall with other guests.)The bath is a hot spring with a moderate temperature, around 40-42 degrees. The floor is a little slippery probably because it's a hot spring. It's not that big and there's only one hair dryer, so I think it's best to pop in when it's empty. Also, face towels are provided in the rooms, but there are no bath towels, so we recommend bringing your own if you need one. (It seems that a thin towel larger than a face towel is sold separately for 100 yen)Both the room and bath are showing their age, so it may not be suitable for those who are concerned about that.As for the staff, they were perfect both last time and this time. They were very kind and friendly.I will go again!

My husband and I went there for my birthday. It just fills you up, and the food doesn't really taste that good just by looking at it. It's salty and sweet. It doesn't suit Kansai people.The room and bathroom were very dirty, and the worst part was that the staff at the store were very unfriendly. It was a series of regrets. The location is also one minute away from the tsunami reaching the beach when the Nankai Trough occurs. There was no explanation about how to evacuate in the event of a radio reception, so I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep well. It's definitely better to stop.

Thank you for your help✨. The food was delicious and I couldn't finish it. As someone who grew up in the mountains, it was a memorable dinner for me. This time, I will let you stay with my wife.

I made a reservation based on the reviews that the food was good.The rooms are dirty and not well cleaned.Perhaps because there were two groups of guests including me, we only used one of the two baths, and the other group entered in turn.I didn't want to share the bath with other male guests, but since I was visiting as a couple, it was nice to be able to use it as if it were a family bath.The hair dryer in the bathroom was broken and unusable, so I asked if they had another hair dryer and was immediately told that they only had one for the one they had.I was told that they didn't have bath towels, so I asked if I could rent one because I would have to pay for it, but they said they didn't have any bath towels, so I was told that they sell thin face towels for 100 yen each, so I bought them. .The trash from the previous evening was still in the garbage can in the bathroom the next morning, so even though you can take a bath until 10 p.m., it doesn't seem like it was cleaned after that.There are no toilets or washrooms in the rooms, and the only shared toilets for men and women are washlets, and the rest are Japanese-style.This is the most important dish, but I was always wondering why it was rated so highly.It doesn't feel luxurious, it's just a large amount, and the taste is average, and I've never had a bad experience.Additional small fish dishes keep coming out, but I can't finish them all.The amount is large.Breakfast is also simple and cannot be said to be delicious.The taste of the boiled food at night is also the taste of a typical home.Boiled tofu was served, but it was firm tofu.I was shocked that there were so many firm tofu fans, but the firm tofu boiled tofu was not delicious and I didn't eat it.If you ask me if I would recommend it to friends and family, I would not recommend it at all.There were 3 employees, but by chance there were only 2 groups staying, so I didn't notice anything unusual about the speed of the cooking, but this seems to be difficult when there are many guests.The customer service attitude of the employees is mediocre, so it's best not to expect them to be friendly.Anyway, I'm not satisfied with my stay.There is no refrigerator, so be careful what you bring in during the summer.Since it was winter, I put the canned beer I had brought in on the balcony.
