I loved this place! The cats makes you feel inside Hayao Miyazaki's universe. The onsen is really small but it has an amazing view. The restaurant also has an outstanding view and I loved the food. Sashimi and other things, in boxes, all neat and beautiful, Japanese style. They accepted my international debit card easily. I came here twice!

It's full of cats😅There seem to be 20 of them.I only ate breakfast for 1 night and 2 days, but the food is average😊I think it's a good place because it's a quiet place👍Maybe it's because of the cat pee in the elevator It smells pretty bad when you ride it😰

All rooms have ocean views.The building is old, but you can relax.And the open-air bath also has an ocean view.Therefore, the feeling of openness is unmatched.There are many friendly cats, soIt's irresistible for people who love cats.If the hotel staff is free,What is the cat thinking when it does this?They will give you explanations etc.Touch the cat, relax in your room and look at the sea,Eating, taking a bath, touching the cat,I drank alcohol, fell asleep, woke up, touched a cat,Eat, see the ocean, and touch the cat again.How much do you want to heal?Also, the breakfast was delicious.

It's August, and it's 38 degrees Celsius in Tokushima today, and the hallways inside the building are pretty HOT.The air conditioner in the room is working, but the duvet is thick. Might be good for a companion with a fat person who is sensitive to heat.There is a faint smell of pet food throughout the building, but it's not bothersome. I don't dislike it, but there are four signboard cats in front of the entrance and the front desk, and a big Siberian-style cat is always sleeping in front of the bath. It's a bit too bold and bulky, so much so that even if you pass by, you'll feel lethargic and open your eyes slightly.Toilet before bath. The sensor light has a short timer and requires regular breaststroke.There are many other tsukkomi, but I found it funny and enjoyed it.A famous hotel from yesteryear in southern Tokushima. After all, I thought it was a good value for money, with an open-air hot spring with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean and the Ohama coast, spacious rooms, and a large selection of meals.

This hotel is heaven for cat lovers and hell for cat haters lolThey seem to be putting a lot of effort into protecting cats, and there are cats wandering around everywhere in the lobby.They are very used to people, so they let you touch them easily.The meal came with a mini steak, and the portion was larger than I expected, so I think the cost performance is very good.The elevator is filled with the smell of cats, so if you're not a cat lover, it might be tough...The views from the open-air baths and ocean-view rooms are really nice, and if the weather is nice, you can stare at the ocean for a long time.I definitely can't recommend it to people who don't like cats, but I would like to come stay again.

There are many rescue cats wandering around the facility.I think people who like cats and animals will enjoy it, but I think the hygiene management is poor for a facility that provides services to people.The bathing floor smells bad, and when I sit on the chair waiting for my family after taking a bath, cats come to me.There's cat hair on the sofa. Rather than being conscious of disposing of cat hair for the sake of the guests, the hotel simply provides guidance such as ``Please be careful as there is cat hair on the sofa.''It's a place that also serves food and drinks, so I thought it wouldn't be hygienic to have so many cats wandering around and coming in and out freely.

This is a hot spring hotel full of cats. I completely feel that the cats here are very happy. If you also like cats, you must come to this cat hot spring hotel. Moreover, its hot springs face the sea, and the scenery is very open and magnificent. This is a hotel suitable for self-driving tours. The service staff are friendly and polite.
