I used it on a short trip to thank my wife's parents. Since my parents are elderly, we didn't have oysters in the shell, but they were very happy with the oysters and seafood kaiseki kakimeshi.The presentation of all the dishes was very beautiful and delicious, and the customer service was very polite and wonderful.Thanks to all of you, it was a very good trip.I will definitely come again.

Since it was oyster season, we had a variety of oyster dishes. The variety of flavors and all-you-can-eat grilled oysters are amazing.

I was told that making a reservation from the website was the best deal, so I did my best to make a reservation. The amount will be deducted from your card at the time of booking.On the opposite side of the same cape as Gomi City. The inn faces the sea, but instead of seeing the ocean endlessly, you can see private houses and the station on the other side. I only had a room on the mountain side, so the parking lot was outside my window. But I wanted to try Hinase's oysters, so I made a reservation. Kaiseki course including 60 minutes of all-you-can-eat grilled oysters.The inn is clean, but it can't be helped that the guest next door is a nuisance. Dear each other. be careful.There was a compact system bath in the room, but the large public bath was small enough for 2.3 people. Apparently it's open 24 hours. I also knew that from the reviews.I was asked when dinner would be at 5:30, 6:30, and 6:30, but I wasn't hungry so I decided on 6:30. Until then, I'll take a walk to Gomi City and go to the station.For dinner, we shared a table and chairs in a tatami room with three groups. There was a variety of fresh sashimi, oysters pickled in nanban, oysters tsukudani, dote nabe, kamameshi, and more.My main dish was all-you-can-eat grilled oysters. The first time, each person served 8 to 10 pieces. Not hot, just warm.Since it was this time of year, the oysters were big and plump. I thought it was a little too sweet, but since it was baked in the kitchen and brought to the table, I thought it was a bit too sweet. I like it more baked. My husband also said, ``Ah, the grilled rice is so sweet,'' so he threw one in the clay pot and the other in the pot rice that had just been lit. When ordering my next oyster, I said, ``I would like it grilled a little more thoroughly, please.'' Next, they will bring out 4 to 6 pieces for each person. It felt better grilled than the previous one, but I thought, ``Oh, I want it to be grilled more,'' but at my age, I can't eat any more.I'm sure it's a personal preference, but I like my food well-grilled, so I was a little disappointed.I don't know if this amount is just right for people who are familiar with it.If you're going for a barbecue style, you can do whatever you like, but if you're going to grill it and bring it home, there's a good chance you'll end up with something like this.Three fried oysters and a salad were brought to me, as well as a bowl of soup. Two bowls of oyster kamameshi.My stomach was completely full and I was relieved by the melon dessert.The quantity was sufficient, and both the tsukudani and nanbanzuke were delicious.I love oysters, and I often go to all-you-can-eat barbecues to eat them.I was afraid of getting hit, so they were well-grilled, so I was disappointed that the grilled oysters were a little sweet compared to what I was used to. It may not be suitable for people who are particular about grilled oysters.These days, Hinase, Ako, Sakoshi, and Aioi are popular due to the oyster boom.It might be best to make reservations early.Breakfast was served at 8am, and each room had its own private room. Orthodox breakfast. The amount was just right.On the way back, I checked out at 10am and went to Gomi City, but it was already packed with people. Everyone is working hard.

I visited this restaurant as a group only because I heard that the food was delicious and the view of the port was nice.The store was really clean and the view was nice.However, the taste and contents of the main dishes are average. If the price is less than 4000 yen, it feels cheap. If it costs less than 3,000 yen, it's extremely cheap and worth it. It was about 5,000 yen for the taste and contents, so it's a shame that it feels expensive.However, if you think that the facility usage fee and observation fee are charged...that's why this price is reasonable...lol

It was a sea-facing room with a bed in a tatami room.It was clean, beautiful and relaxing. The walls were thin so I could hear people talking in the next room and the sound of the sliding door.The dishes include mantis shrimp and migratory crab.When you put something out, there's no staff, so it's like ringing the bell. There may or may not be an explanation of the content.The bath is small.I was satisfied with the atmosphere of the room and the bed, but I don't recommend it for people who are particular about the bathroom and customer service...

I've visited quite a few inns, but the food here is of a high standard. At this time of year, there are not many delicious fish, but I was overwhelmed by the sashimi of redfish and red clams, and the vinegared fish and mantis shrimp. I can feel the high quality of the abundance of shellfish and the mantis shrimp.

I enjoyed using the oysters.It seemed like it had just been renovated, so I was hoping for a comfortable trip...At the time of check-in at the front desk, I received an explanation that ``From ○ o'clock to △ o'clock, the bath will be used as a family bath.''There is not a separate bath for the family.My husband and I were told to use the men's bath, but in front of the hallway leading to the bath was a small sign that read "Men's Bath (〇〇)."Is this okay? I thought as I went to the bathroom.The baths were down the hallway, with the women's bath at the front and the men's bath at the back.There is only a short curtain (long enough to hide your face) that says "Men's Bath", but there is no name pasted on the curtain.When you open the sliding door, you can see the changing room from the hallway without any partitions.Of course, I don't have a key, so I'm worried.As expected, my anxiety was spot on!As I was washing my face in the sink before getting changed, the sliding door opened and a man wearing a yukata appeared.When I told him, ``We are currently in the family bath, and our family is to use the men's bath,'' he returned.I immediately went to the front desk and explained.Then, before he could apologize, he asked, ``Are you an older man?'' and he simply dismissed it by saying, ``I guess you didn't understand even though I explained it to you.I'll tell you.''I was in tears because I couldn't even take a bath with peace of mind.The room was clean and not bad, but I would have given it a higher score if it was just the food. The front desk response and facilities are negative.
