Check-in on April 1, 2024, just in time for the end of Echizen crab season.It's not too difficult to find places here, there are only one or two main streets anyway. The entire community retains the flavor of a small fishing port, and you can see very beautiful sunsets close to the seaside.The hotel is family-run and the building is a bit spartan, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. The large bath is located next to the hotel. It is not big or luxurious, but has a bit of Showa era feeling, which makes people relax physically and mentally.When dining here, of course you have to eat the Echizen crab, and the other dishes will not disappoint. It is a delicious dish that I hope to come back to every year.A small hotel doesn't expect the service of a big hotel, but the staff here is kind and attentive, making it a great place to rest during a trip.

🦀It was a shame that there was no season, but I still enjoyed the seafood to the fullest. thank you very much. The one disappointing thing is that there are a lot of steps inside the building, so I stubbed my toe many times (lol)

Even though I was staying alone, I was overwhelmed by the amount of dinner Σ(゜Д゜)It was great to have exclusive access to the hot springs in the separate building 😄If I have a chance to visit Echizen Coast again, I will stay here again 😃

It looks old from the outside, but the inside of the building was very clean. The room, toilet, and washroom are also very clean. I was eating alone, but there was more than 2 servings of sashimi, so I couldn't finish it all. Alcohol is served with meals and can be taken to your room. The staff were very kind and greeted me and saw me off. I received some sweets on the way home and was satisfied with the price. If you want a hearty meal, why not stay overnight? I didn't see any cockroaches, and it was clean and comfortable.

The building is kept clean. The restroom was also new and clean. The food was also very delicious. I would have liked the chawanmushi, rice, and miso soup to be served at this timing. The sashimi was fresh and delicious.

I made a reservation for a group of four who love crab.I was satisfied with everything, including the crab.The hot springs are open 24 hours a day, and the hot water made my skin feel smooth and smooth.The washroom and toilet were very clean.I would like to thank the general manager for his friendly telephone responses and the proprietress and staff for their careful attention to detail. I still want to use it.

Amid the disaster caused by the earthquake in Ishikawa PrefectureDespite my concerns, I decided to go on a trip this time.I went out with my husband. On New Year's DayI had no idea or prediction that an earthquake of this magnitude would occur, so I contacted the local hotel. I was looking forward to my husband's response, which gave me courage and made me feel less anxious.I decided to go on a crab trip.No problem! Please feel free to come and visit us! My husband told me that it was a big deal.I really want to feed you crabsIt was a good trip. The people at the inn are also kind.I am extremely grateful. The room was clean and I was very satisfied with the bathroom. There were no other customers, so the wifeI can take a bath with my husband.Thank you for your consideration.
