For 1,500 yen, we took a day trip to the bath and took a tour.The outdoor bath has chlorine circulation, and the indoor bath has a free-flowing bathtub.The main building seems to be virtually off-limits, so it's a living ruin...Apparently they don't want people to see it, so guests who are looking for a retro experience may be warned.You can feel the vestiges of a group travel inn from half a century ago.It may not be suitable for people who are not good at ruins.It seems that the company will effectively go out of business in July 2024.

The building itself is very oldThe room was also very far away and felt like a maze so I got quite lost.There was tea and jelly service when we arrived.We had dinner in the lounge next to the lobby, but the dinner was also in a venue separated by a screen.I stayed on a cheap plan with dinner omakase, and the food was quite delicious.The ingredients for the hand-rolled sushi were mostly appetizer-like ingredients, so it didn't really feel like sushi, so I wrapped it in sashimi and ate it.I'm glad you can get lobster for this price.However, the portion was small and I wasn't full, so I tried to bring some cup noodles from my car, but there was a sign saying "No carry-in"...If it's prohibited, it's fine, but if that's the case, I'd be happy if they sold cup noodles at the shops.For breakfast, in addition to the set, I was able to eat waffles and croissants on my own, so I was full.The bath was large and comfortable, but there are a lot of stairs, so it might be difficult for people with walking disabilities.

My feet hurt from the steep stairs and diagonal slopes, but the customer service is good, the food is delicious, and you can see the ocean!The guest room aisles are a bit smelly and dimly lit.The rooms are spacious and you can see the sea from the window!The hot spring baths are for men and women, and the one in the white open-air bath is said to have hot water that is good for your skin.

The photos of the hotel are inconsistent with the facts and are in dilapidated condition. Everywhere in the hotel smells "up" and musty. The hot water kettle is too dirty, there are mosquitoes in the water pot, and the slippers are very old. The way to the room from the lobby It’s very complicated, you have to go up and down the elevator🛗, it’s very scary😱The water in the swimming pool is like muddy water and has not been taken care of for a long time. If you don't use the large bathhouse, you need to pay.The bath tax is 150yen/person, which is extremely unreasonable.Overall, it is very bad. It is always on the bad list. It is blacklisted. The price is completely inconsistent with the quality of the hotel. Please do not 🙅🏼‍♀️recommend this hotel again🤦🏼‍♀️

Since I was going to travel to Hakone but it was getting dark, I had to find a place to stay. Reserve via Agoda website. The picture is very different from reality. Beachfront hotel The view is beautiful, but because it rained on the day we went to stay, the sea turned black and murky. The outside of the hotel is very old. The inside is old as well, it's a really large hotel. Excellent service staff Take a walk to the room and give instructions on how to use various things in the room. Including making the bed for us as well. I felt considerate so I helped him make the bed. We looked at the condition of the rooms and their decorations. It makes me think of the heyday of this hotel and feel really sad. In the past, it would have been a beautiful, luxurious hotel. We ate simple but delicious food at the hotel. Impressed with the service of every employee. I want the management to consider renovating the hotel. Too bad the beautiful view

I won't be staying there because the phone service was poor and it was cold.I think it's the face of the inn.While there are many inns that pay attention to these aspects, I don't think you can have a good experience at an inn that ignores the phone calls.From above, you can feel the vestiges of the Showa era.
