Hatsushima Island Resort

Ideal for experienced campers to bring their children to experience nature.We stayed here with a couple who had experience camping in the old days, and an elementary school student and a 5-year-old child.It was a very satisfying experience.Monkey swallowtails dance wildly, stag beetles can be spotted, and cycads are planted along the road, giving you the feel of a tropical resort.It was hot in the middle of summer, but it was comfortable in the pool, and the starry sky and athletics were great.There are Instagram fly spots here and there on the island that are crowded with people, so if you avoid them you can enjoy the empty resorts to the fullest.The facility is impeccably clean. I was expecting a cottage at a campsite with only the clean interior, but it was much cleaner.There is water, electricity, air conditioning, and a refrigerator/freezer. The recent billing cottage is amazing. The bean sprouts were holed up in the cool weather, so the adults could enjoy a quiet drink outside on the wooden deck.Being in nature, there are naturally insects, including mosquitoes, but there was plenty of insect repellent in the room. Bring anti-itch medicine with you.If you are concerned about insects in your room, bring a spray to kill mosquitoes.As long as you are staying in nature, it is natural for guests to bring long sleeves and long pants.As for the meal, I thought it would be BBQ, so I thought it would just be cut meat and vegetables, but I didn't expect there to be appetizers and pasta to finish it off.The ingredients were packed and there was also a manual on how to cook the grill. I was able to do it even though I only had experience with a BBQ stove.Also, since the grill is located high up, I was able to cook without worry even if I had small children with me.The cafe is crowded during lunch. The restaurant at the fishing port, which is a 10-minute walk from the lodge via SARUTOBI through town, is empty, cheaper, and delicious.Walking along the road along the coast gives you a nice atmosphere, but it's hot and the sea breeze is strong, so it's a long way to go. The summit and Hatsushima Park are shaded and comfortable.The staff are all Japanese and are easy to understand and kind, and the fact that they don't interfere more than necessary gives it a nice camp feel.It was raining heavily when I checked out, but I was impressed that they lent me an umbrella to take me to the port.I really want to go camping, but my kids are small, so I want to relieve the stress of everyday life. Recommended for those who like this.If you don't like insects or want full service, go to XIV or Minshuku District.

This is the first time I have ever stayed at a place that I was so disappointed in that I could not recommend it to anyone.I will not come again, and I recommend that anyone who is considering staying here in the future change to another accommodation. Not recommended, especially for families with small children.Normally it would be a waste of time and effort to write a review like this, but it was such a horrible place to stay that I couldn't help but write about it. .In conclusion, I think the owner is negligent in all aspects, including a lack of effort, a lack of self-reflection, and a lack of command and control.People who came to PICA Hatsushima around 2011 also wrote about what I felt this time. In other words, for the past 10 years, there has been no remorse (though there are times in Google comments where owners have responded to bad reviews and apologized). It is easy to see that the company has apologized to the customer and continues to operate without any change of heart.They only take money and create the best resort feeling on the internet, but in reality they are empty and empty, they genuinely seem to please the customers, how do they feel when they come to Hatsushima and want to have fun? I don't think Miri has ever thought about it either.The employees depended on the person, but there were several people who were pleasant, such as the person who was by the pool, the woman at the reception, and the Sarutobi reception staff.I understand that there is a shortage of staff on a remote island, but that doesn't matter to the customers. If we continue to operate our business with the mindset of just trying to get as much money as we can from our customers, without thinking about wanting them to have a good trip, and if something happens, we end up making excuses like we're short-staffed. I really hope that an inn like this will go bankrupt.I wonder if PICA was started to help revitalize the remote island of Hatsushima? I can imagine that, but it is also unfortunate that PICA and the island are not coordinating well.Before staying here, I went to a glamping facility in Tochigi, but staying in a tent there was much cleaner, and I was able to get in touch with nature, and the employees were very kind. It was a wonderful time, and I could feel their concern for entertaining the guests.This time, I was traveling with a family that included two children under the age of 5, but the following are the reasons why I think it is not suitable for families with small children.For hotels such as XIV, there is a bus from the port to the hotel, but for PICA there is no such bus. Therefore, walking with children takes longer than an average adult, and for our family it took about 20 minutes. I think staying overnight in the middle of summer like this time can be a burden on parents. In fact, are you in the lower grades of elementary school with other families? A girl who appeared to be crying and wanting to go home was also walking with her mother.Also, even if you arrive at the front desk of your accommodation, you will still have to walk. In order to reach your room, you have to climb several stairs that are not well maintained and then walk outside.It's no longer a vacation, it's some kind of training.I feel that the gap between the online resort feel and the actual training experience, as well as various feelings of lack, is leading to a decline in satisfaction.The food was delicious, but when asked if it was for children...Votan was more difficult than I expected, and I think the children found it worth the challenge.There were two pools with different depths, but in the shallower one for children, the floor was often slimy and there were insects floating around, making me wonder if they were really thinking about children. I thought. Honestly, I thought it was too bad for children.-------I will write down all the other details below, but there are so many things to complain about that I can't write them all here...First, I stayed at a premium villa, and as soon as I opened the front door of the room, a dead cockroach fell right in front of me. It should have been the best quality room at this accommodation, but...When I entered the room again, I found a large insect on the wall.Some of the curtains had come off their hooks and were in an untidy state, there was hair on the floor, and there weren't enough pillowcases.When I call the receptionist and tell them that there are dead cockroaches and insects in my room, I think the first thing I get is a sincere apology, but to my surprise, there was no apology at all.He started making excuses for reading as if he was reading a manual. The inn's motto is to enjoy nature, so it can't be helped. When I tried to speak, the receptionist over the phone kept talking.It seems that he doesn't even know the basics of service sales...Of course, his response at that moment was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional, and it doesn't matter to the customer whether he's a part-time worker or not, so I'm going to talk about this time. I would like to think carefully about what went wrong, and if I am going to be a receptionist in the future, I would like to think of myself as the face of the accommodation and provide a more responsible and courteous service. I think the problem lies with the owners and top management.Top management is always responsible for low morale in the workplace.Additionally, regarding the insects in the room, I am aware that since I am here for glamping, it is natural that there will be some insects.However, before staying here, I also experienced staying in a tent at a glamping facility in Tochigi. At that time, there were no dead cockroaches or insects in the tent. My hair wasn't falling either.So, no matter what the concept is, I think it's something that employees can do their best to keep the rooms where customers stay clean.If your style is to take care of insect extermination on your own, then I think you should be more polite about communicating this to your customers since you are asking them to do it themselves. It's strange to feel like it's normal.Also, I had the impression that the style of delivering dinner and breakfast together at dinner time did not take the guests' feelings into consideration.There is a real lack of consideration as there is a feeling of just doing the rest.What's more, there were no instructions on how to make a barbecue, and there were no instructions at check-in, so how should I proceed? ? ? When we were checking the contents of the book in the room inside Hatena Hatena, there was a simple explanation and we were told to watch a video using the QR code for more details. You don't get the feeling that you're just watching it, or that there's a lot of heart put into things like this.At the glamping facility in Tochigi, recipes are distributed during dinner, and verbal explanations are given (wipe the meat once with a paper towel, season it with herbs and salt and pepper, grill it over medium heat, then wrap it in foil. If you let it sit for a while, the residual heat will cook it nicely and make it delicious, etc.). I see, you can learn a lot, and you can feel that they put a lot of thought into making sure the food is delicious.We were told that the dessert ice cream after breakfast would be delivered by drone around 9am the next morning, but no matter how long we waited, it never arrived and we ended up checking out around 10am. This is supposed to be included in the price, so what do you mean it's not included?I don't think it's a huge amount of money, but how lazy is it to say you'll do it and not do it? That's my impression.It cost a total of 110,000 yen per night for 2 adults and 1 child, but the cost performance was poor and my satisfaction was low, so I don't even want to give 1 star.

I stayed on the "Island Villa Ocean" plan. The price certainly seems high... but the content was worth it and I had very good memories.The barbecue meal was delicious, and above all, the ``Shima no Yu'' and ``Sea Pool'' included in the plan were great. Bathing in the bath and pool while feeling the nature was an extraordinary experience that was very refreshing. By the way, the tent sauna by the pool was also special.There are many tropical-looking plants planted within the facility, which seem difficult to maintain, which is another reason why I was satisfied with the accommodation fee.Finally, after checking out and taking the ferry home, I realized that I had left something behind at the hotel, so I called the counter in a panic, but the prompt response was to find it and have it delivered to my home. I was impressed by what you did. I appreciate it very much.I checked the reviews before staying and was prepared for what it would be like, but when I opened the door, there were no staff members who seemed to talk to each other.I was impressed by the courteous customer service attitude of everyone, and the distance from the inn to the bathroom was short. I thought it couldn't be helped because of the location, and the communal toilet had a washlet, which was perfect, and the fact that it was difficult to receive radio waves other than au made me think, ``Well, a digital detox would be nice, too.'' Personally, there were almost no points that I felt dissatisfied with. (Since it is in nature, it is unavoidable that there are many insects.)In conclusion, I would like to repeat it again someday!

The dedicated reservation site doesn't even have a layout map of the campsite, so it's very troublesome if you try to make multiple reservations❗️

It cost nearly 1,000 yen to enter, but it was fun to see the photogenic spots and the automatic photo-taking system inside.It was a place where you could relax with palm trees and hammocks like in a tropical country 🏝️🩵🍋

I entered the Asian Garden.There are many cute photo spots at the Lemon Festival. It looked like it wasn't Japan, with a big swing that was rowing toward the ocean and tropical plants.

Perfect for spending some relaxing time.

Visited in December 2023.It's not a bad facility, but it's quite a long walk from the port along the sea side, and at the end you have to climb some steep stairs, which can be surprisingly tiring.Carbonated water is not sold at the facility's shop, so you will need to purchase it at a supermarket near the port.Since it was winter, there were no insects and it was comfortable. The night sky was beautiful, full of stars as expected.If a tsunami warning happened to be issued in the middle of the night, several ferries the next morning might be canceled, so you need to be prepared for the inconvenience caused by your location.

Since it is a Pika group, the rooms and meals are normal like others.However, it was tough walking from the port with heavy luggage.The XIV Hotel on the same island has a shuttle service, so I'd like to at least carry my luggage. I thought for a moment that it was the front desk, but when I was introduced to the real front desk, which was 91 steps up the stairs, I was in despair.By the way, there was a porter service that would carry your luggage from the island hot spring to your room if you didn't mind arriving at 4pm, but it's hot in the middle of summer.

Stayed as a family of 3 during Obon in 2023.【basic information】・Temperature 34℃・Asian resort villa accommodation・No bath or toilet in the room. There is a cooler and refrigerator.・One 5-year-old boy[Bad points]・Walk from Hatsushima Port. It's about 20 to 25 minutes away on a steep slope. It was painful because I was carrying my baby.・The facility is large and the conductor lines are not good. There are about 90 steps up and down the bath and pool.・The restaurant inside the facility is very crowded (there is a take-out corner in the back, so we recommend that. However, if it is crowded, you will have to wait about 30 minutes)・They brought BBQ ingredients for dinner, but no detailed explanation was provided. Just leave it there. Read the manual and style. *Beer etc. are not included, so you must order additional items at least 30 minutes before delivery. With cash delivery service, you pay without change. If you have change, go to the restaurant and pay.・Wash and return dishes etc. in the shared washing area.・(Personally, my biggest problem) Cash only at the site. You can use cards at restaurants, but cash everywhere else.・I'm quite scared of going to the bathroom at night because there are a lot of insects.【good point】・The barbecue is satisfying both in quantity and quality.(Beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, hamburgers)・The stars are beautiful・The inside of the facility is clean. A garden or a bath.・The staff is bright and friendly (there were no friendly staff members as mentioned in other people's comments).・The pool is empty. There are a lot of lifeguards and it feels nice.・Free athletics called VONTAN can be enjoyed by preschoolers.・There are many vending machines, so they are rarely sold out.・Complete insect repellent
