Thank you for taking care of us on our family trip last year. The children were very happy with the abundance of seafood, and of course the parents as well. Delicious turban shell sashimi and beer. I was full in the morning and evening (so much! If you're an older person, you probably won't be able to eat all of it)After swimming in the beach, you can have your swimsuit washed in the washing machine and there is a place to dry it, so you can stay there for several nights. I want to go fishing next time.

Thank you for staying with us for 2 nights and 3 days from August 25th to 27th. I went with my mother and I, a third grade elementary school boy. Tobishima itself was a deserted island, so I went there without any particular purpose, but I enjoyed fishing every day at the fishing port in front of the island with a fishing rod my child had borrowed from the man at the inn. The proprietress of the restaurant cooked delicious meals every night for the fish we caught, and we felt grateful for the life of nature. The room was a Japanese-style room with a Showa feel, and I was able to watch TV normally. It was inconvenient that there was no wifi, but this is the island itself so it can't be helped. Dinner every night is very luxurious with heartfelt hospitality. I couldn't finish all of it, so I took it home every time and had it for lunch the next day. There are almost no places to eat lunch on this island, so we recommend having it for lunch the next day. When you go swimming in the beach, it's great to bring furikake along with the rice and side dishes from the night before! When you come to this island, you don't spend much money and you can make ends meet that way. If I were to use it, it would probably be a vending machine.

It has a guesthouse-like atmosphere, so if you are imagining a formal inn, you may feel a gap. For breakfast and dinner, you can enjoy seasonal fish and other delicious foods! The squid is especially delicious, so I think it's perfect for squid lovers! lolAlso, the location is midway between the mountains and the beach, so it's recommended for people who want to stay overnight and enjoy both areas, or for groups that want to do separate activities in the mountains and the sea!Also, the view is great, and you can even see Mt. Chokai in the morning glow from your room!

The owner brought me fried horse mackerel that he had caught. A ryokan where you can feel warm service. This is a guesthouse located on the island of Tobishima in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture. A wonderful shop where you can directly feel the warmth of Tobishima.You can enjoy horse mackerel fishing at a nearby fishing port, and they generously fried the horse mackerel they caught and served it for dinner.

¥8,000/person (tax included) Reservations can be made through Rakuten Travel. If you use points via Rakuten Cash, you can pay the entire amount by card.Although it is called an inn, I think it is a guesthouse. Recommended for people who can enjoy island quality not found in other places.When you run out of tea, just grab the pot and go get another, and they'll pour tap water directly into the pot. It seems that there was a barley tea pack in the pot.There are so many dishes that you won't be able to finish the meal, so it's a feast for the eyes. The style is to serve the rice yourself from a jar. While you're eating, you'll always be fighting 5-6 flies, but if you collect them in vinegared food, they'll be harder to fly away.Perhaps because it was a time when there were few guests, I was able to freely use the washing machine, dehydrator, and bathroom. There is also a sunny drying area. Thank you very much for letting me leave my luggage in my room until the last minute before the ferry departed.

Stayed in mid-August 2016.Location: 3 minutes walk from Tobishima Marine Plaza. Along the way, there is Nishimura Shokudo, a base where you can rent bicycles (free of charge). You can see Mt. Chokai from the window.Food: The seasoning is not too strong. I was able to have the fish I caught cooked for me (not during the busy season). It looks like we won't be able to catch flying fish this year.Facilities: I was allowed to use the refrigerator, washing machine, drying area, and shower whenever I wanted. There is enough hot water in the shower. The futons are clean. If you are concerned about dust in your room, it is a good idea to clean it yourself. There is a vending machine nearby.

It's pretty terrible. They moved my luggage without permission and threw forgotten clothing down the stairs. I don't eat much food, I don't have much sashimi and I don't have much rice. Breakfast was hard and tasteless. The store owner has a bad attitude. Actually zero stars. I wish I had stayed somewhere else! ! !Those who booked on Rakuten etc. seemed to have stayed in the main building, but when they booked directly in the annex, the electricity was weak and would turn on and off, and the power outlet was bent.The shower in the bathroom also had water. It felt so bad that it made me angry.
