The building is old and the stairs to the entrance are a problem. However, the food served is world-class, including fresh fish from Shimonoseki. Highly recommended at a reasonable price! ️

A family trip for 4 adults (3 generations) that was suddenly decided a month in advance. We chose the standard plan for this inn based on four criteria: 1) Sleeping in the same room in a large Japanese-style room 2) Breakfast and dinner at the inn 3) Good access to Shimonoseki Station 4) Budget within 15,000 yen per person.Since it was a weekday (Wednesday), my family and I were the only guests staying. I don't have to worry about the easy-going, easy-going customer service that is typical of a ryokan, so I think I was able to spend a quiet and relaxing time there.The dinner, which focuses on seafood and includes Shimonoseki's unique calves and whales, is carefully prepared one by one, and will fill you up not by the quantity but by the number of items. Personally, what I thought was particularly good was the seasonal Ako sashimi and Ara soup. We had a very delicious meal, including breakfast.

It's also close to Karato Market and Hinoyama Park, which has a beautiful night view, so I think it's a good base for sightseeing in Shimonoseki.It has good access to Kyushu, and is in the perfect location to straddle the Kanmon Strait and see the opposite shore from both Honshu and Kyushu.You can enjoy a very satisfying blowfish course for dinner at the hotel, so it might be a good idea to choose a plan that includes dinner.The room seemed to have been renovated in recent years and was very clean.

I learned about this place through an introduction from a friend. Sometimes it's used by two couples, sometimes it's a family of four.At my house, we always ask for the omakase course for 5,000 yen per person, drinks not included (tax included). You can have it in a private room, or if you prefer a chair, you can request it in advance.I am always very satisfied with the food, and above all, I am happy to see the customer service that shows that they want to please their customers.It seems that you can discuss the contents and budget of the dishes, but if you want high-quality ingredients, it will cost a certain amount of money. In my case, my family doesn't have any particular likes or dislikes about food, so I completely leave it up to them.It is an old inn and I think it is inevitable that it will deteriorate. Here you will find even more dishes and heartwarming service. There are some rooms with new interiors, but for my family, I prefer older rooms that have a more traditional feel.It's been a while since I've been here, but I'd like to make another reservation soon. Next time, I will also post pictures of the dishes.
