This is my second repeat visit, following last year, and my conclusion is that it is not worth the price.One of the selling points of the London taxis is that the outsourced driver is an elderly man, and even though he greets the driver by introducing his name, he only gives a slight nod, "Huh," and silently reaches for his companion's suitcase and tries to take it. So, the response was exactly like that of overseas sink drivers. While we were waiting to get on board, he guided other tourists around us, and after we got on board, he greeted us loudly enough to ask us to please, but he was too hard of hearing to hear us, so he kept quiet for the rest of the way. By the way, on the way back, we were sent all together in a wagon like the cheap hotels around there. Last time they called a taxi for each customer separately.It was early September, and while I was eating in my room, a thumb-sized insect came out of the gap between the tatami mats under the pillar behind me, and I sprayed the insecticide I had left in the room into the gap. The light attracts insects, so the curtains were closed before I could enjoy the view. As for the food, the fresh fish is just a few slices of sashimi, which doesn't look good, and the food is on par with a Japanese inn that costs around 20,000 yen per night.Like last time, the person in charge of taking care of the room was Nepali and was fluent in Japanese, but this time he was not at a level where I could enjoy conversation. It was a shame that the make-up was also a batch remake like in the pub...The open-air bath has cloudy and cracked glass, so you cannot enjoy the view while soaking in the bath like the official website says. The weather was light rain the day before and sunny that day, but we were unable to use the open-air bath with the best view.On the way back, my companion was so restless that he insisted on stopping by the shop even though we were on the last minute of departure time, and the eight people we were seeing off were stunned for a few seconds. If it were me, I would cheerfully encourage them by saying, “Everyone is waiting for you.” It felt awkward and I quickly pulled him away, but...most of the staff were also foreigners, so it became clear that we had a normal relationship with each other.In conclusion, because the owner wanted to increase the number of horses he kept as a hobby, he was cutting costs everywhere, so we cannot recommend this service because we cannot expect the service to be worth the money.

First of all, the view from the room is very beautiful.The open-air bath overlooking the magnificent ocean was very relaxing.The room was very spacious, too much for two people.Dinner and breakfast were also very luxurious. I forgot to take a photo, but the fried rockfish was especially delicious. However, although the amount of dinner was quite large, the pace at which the food was served was slow, and I ended up getting full halfway through.I don't have any particular complaints, but if you don't like insects, you might want to stay away. At night, many insects such as stink bugs, moths, and snails gathered in the light of the terrace of the open-air bath.It was an inn that I would definitely like to visit again. thank you very much.

This is my 4th time here, and I was very disappointed in the food. The hair dryer is no longer a Dyson, and many other things have changed from before. If this is over 100,000 yen for the two of us, this year will probably be the last. The open-air bath in the room was nice.

Even in the rainy weather, I was completely satisfied. The private bath is especially good. The quality of the water is also excellent. Nakai-san's service is also good. I was also satisfied with the food.

The private bath overlooking the ocean was the best. There are time restrictions, so it's a good idea to check in advance. This time, I didn't know that there was a set time, so I had to take a bath in a bit of a hurry, which was disappointing. The meals were all delicious, including appetizers, sashimi, fried rockfish, and Shizuoka beef steak, and I was very satisfied. The coffee after the meal was also a nice service. There are drip packs and water available in the room, but I was grateful to have them with dessert.The quality of the equipment is good and you will feel very comfortable. Tissues, toilet paper, toothbrushes, face towels, bathroom towels (towels can be taken home).The pouch to carry to the bathroom was also a cute retro pouch, which I received when I took it home. There were some cute horses on the premises, and I got to see them up close and feed them. This is an inn that I would like to visit again.

Even though we arrived early, they kindly guided us to our room. I chose to do nothing and just enjoy my free time. This room has an open-air bath, and the front entrance is filled with birdsong, a path of fresh greenery, and lots of hydrangeas. Time to relax and soak in a hot spring, lie on the bed, and doze off. Great trip.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and the open-air bath in the room and the view outside were great. The only thing I had to say was that I was staying with my mother, and when I was shown to the room and was first given an explanation of the room and meals, I had to look at my mother's face while explaining. We couldn't see eye to eye. I understand if it's a small child, but he's already over 20 years old, and I'm splitting the bill evenly with my mother at the hotel this time. It may be a small detail, but that's the only thing that makes me sad.As someone staying in a room, I would like to be treated equally regardless of age or gender.
