Great for business use in the surrounding area.An inn with a hot spring bath that is only suitable for overnight stays. I was able to stay there without any problems. However, please be careful as there are restaurants and supermarkets nearby.

The view is great, and although the inside is old, it's clean and comfortable.The host was kind and told me about delicious izakaya restaurants.It takes about 10 minutes on foot from the station, so if you want to bring beer, snacks, or food, it's better to buy them at Family Mart near the station.When I went a little towards Hotel Kamenoi, there was an unmanned tuna sales place, and the sashimi was super cheap at 200 yen per tray (lol).A local mother praised the hot springs and said, ``Ichi-no-taki is the best.''

What a wonderful hotel! The owners of hotel were incredibly kind and although we could hardly communicate, their goodwill and willingness to help was immense. The rooms are right on the beach, they are large and comfortable, and the first floor has an onsen. The rooms don't have showers due to the onsen, which worked for me! The onsen itself is lukewarm and due to the hot springs themselves, they have a strong sulfur smell (as do the toilets in the rooms). I would most certainly stay here again!

You can relax and stay while listening to the sound of waves on the coast.The quality of the hot springs is high, and the hot spring water that comes out of the taps is 100% free flowing.The rates are cheap, and if you don't mind the unavoidable deterioration, this is the best place to stay.Day trip hot springs are also a good deal at 500 yen.

You can take a long bath at lukewarm temperature.It's good because the return value is also reasonable.The room is large and goodThere is no elevator, so if you have bad legs, you should choose the first floor.

We used the first floor of a nostalgic inn.The rooms are well-cleaned and equipped with the minimum amenities.The scenery is very quiet and you can see Bentenjima.However, since it is open, you can see it from the outside!There are no lace curtains, so people coming to the embankment and fishing boats can see it completely!It didn't bother me so I opened it up fully and enjoyed the scenery.Since we were staying without meals, we ate tuna sashimi from a nearby unmanned store along with alcohol.In the morning, enjoy the lively market.I heard that there are two types of baths: warm and lukewarm, but both are surprisingly lukewarm.Please note that it will not be piping hot.It is not suitable for people who like accommodations with various facilities, but I will definitely come back again.The contrast between the early morning sunrise and Bentenjima below is amazing!

The natural hot spring water was as hot as its reputation. The host's good personality is also recommended. The building is old, but it's small and clean, and the view is nice, overlooking the open sea.It's far from the downtown station, so if you're staying overnight without meals, it might be better to take a taxi as you'll have to walk inside a private house.If you come by bike, you will receive a towel as a gift when you check out.I don't know if I'll definitely get it, but I'm curious.I'm happy with the money 🎵

The view from the window and the hot water are great.The room is also spacious.Since we were only staying without meals, we had dinner at a nearby pub, and breakfast was a sandwich we bought at a convenience store.I was able to use it at a reasonable price!

I wanted to visit Shiroja Benzaiten, so I searched for various accommodations and found this place. The people in charge were also very kind, and I would like to stay there again if I have the opportunity.

I used it as a day trip hot spring ^ ^ If I remember correctly, I was able to take a bath for 500 yen and enjoy a wonderful ocean view!

Although it is an old hotel, it is well kept.Convenience stores and supermarkets are far away, so we recommend shopping in advance.How about some 200 yen tuna fish sold at an unmanned tuna store to accompany your evening drink?You can have unlimited chopsticks and soy sauce.The older man at the hotel (maybe the owner?) was really polite.

Stayed overnight without meals to participate in an event. Although the building is old, the hotel is well-maintained and clean. The bath is fed by hot spring water.The staff were also warm and nice.I want to go again.

5/5
[Guest room]Although it is a Japanese-style room, it is quite clean considering its age.Wi-Fi is FREE Wi-Fi without password.Communication is quite comfortable without stopping.Although it is not mentioned in the reviews, when you stay, face towels (new ones in vinyl) and bath towels are provided in your room.The only amenities in the room are a toothbrush, a cup, and a yukata. (It was M size, so it might be small for larger people.)As everyone has written, there are no tissues, but if you ask at the front desk, they will prepare one for you. There are other things like shaving etc.However, there is no face wash, so it's better to come prepared.【service】There's not much to do since we're staying without meals, but if you tell them you're looking for a place to eat, they'll kindly tell you.I don't think you will have any problems as there are many things around you within walking distance.【place】It faces the sea, and there is an island nearby that you can cross at low tide, if you're lucky. There is a torii gate on the island, giving it a nice atmosphere.It's quiet and relaxing, but if you open the curtains of the room on the first floor, you'll see the dock, so there will be people from early in the morning.Please be careful as the inside of the room is completely visible.There are no screens, so it's best not to open the windows too much.There are a lot of insects flying around.【Features】The hot springs are fed directly from the source, so it's very nice.The quality of the spring water was also good, as it warmed my body from the core and made me feel less tired.There are two types of hot spring baths, one that is not heated and one that is heated, so you can take a long bath.In the bathroom, there is only one washing area with a faucet, and the rest are very old showers, so it is a little inconvenient to use.The hot springs are so good that they more than make up for it.If you are going by bike, please write in the notes section of Rakuten or Jalan that you are going by bike and they will secure you a covered place.I'm grateful that I can load and unload my luggage slowly even when the sun is shining.This was my first time there, but it was an inn that I would like to visit again.

The lukewarm bath where you can enjoy the hot springs was very nice. This is a small hotel with a nice atmosphere and great views from the rooms. Meals are no longer provided, but that shouldn't be a problem!

Great location with Bentenjima right in front of you. The temperature is either lukewarm or hot, which is directly from the source, and the lukewarm water, which is about the same as your body temperature, is the best on hot days.

Day trip to the hot springs starts at 3:00 pm and costs 500 yen.Rental bath towel 100 yen, face towel 100 yen. The quality of the hot spring water is quite good as it is fed directly from the source. Showa retro.

The hotel is old and has a Showa feel. The price is about the same as a business hotel, but it was cheaper by using coupons and points. The front desk staff were friendly and responsive. I think it will be difficult for the hotel in Nachikatsuura to survive, but I feel that it is necessary to renovate the facility and improve the accommodation plan service. This accommodation is perfect for those who are satisfied with the fact that it comes with a hot spring ♨ and is available at a low price!
