I was very satisfied with the quality and quantity of the abalone and spiny lobster sushi. The room was beautifully renovated, and the family bath was free to use, so we enjoyed it.

The parking lot is spacious and you can check in in a relaxed manner.The fish is definitely fresh and really delicious. The private open-air bath "Namikujira" on the rooftop where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean was truly the best.

Situated almost right next to the fishing port, the ryokan was a lot more modern than we expected. It is an onsen place ran by the Sushi restaurant and the food is just divine. We had so much food and really nice Sake to go with it, and were able to enjoy 3 of the 4 Onsens. The service was really friendly and efficient. The photos are not doing justice - we got too excited and busy eating and forgot to take more photos from the dinner. We had lobster sashimi as part of the dinner, and the next morning, the lobster head was in the miso soup - the most flavoursome miso soup I ever had. So delicious. We had a small room for the 3 of us - and the room itself was OK. They picked us up and dropped us off at the nearby Chikura station. One of the photos is from the station.

Thank you for your help from July 14th to 15th. It was my first trip with my boyfriend, and I was happy to be able to stay at a nice hotel.😊That day, there was a lively local festival until the night.😊I watched the festival with my boyfriend from the balcony on the third floor.😊We also had a lot of dinner. There were so many items that two people couldn't eat 😊 The open-air bath was also private and it was very nice 😊 The room was also very satisfying and nice 😊 We smoke, so it was really nice to have an ashtray on the balcony. I was so happy 😊 For breakfast, I was able to choose horse mackerel or mackerel. Also, if I have a chance, I would like to go with my boyfriend 😊

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and I was very satisfied with the amount that I could not finish.All of the baths can be reserved for private use, but I was a little disappointed that there were times when I couldn't use them because they were empty after check-in, but the rooftop open-air bath, Kujira-no-Yu, had a very open feeling and was very nice.There is also a service that will drop you off if you are within Chikura Town on your way home, which was helpful.If I have a chance, I would like to visit this inn again.

Visit to enjoy fresh seafood. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying and as expected. The guest rooms and private baths seem to have been renovated, and although there is no elevator, the delicious food makes up for everything.

This is a small inn.This time I stayed in room 307, and the room was clean and had good facilities such as an open-air bath, massage chair, and yoga board, so I was able to relax.The food was delicious, not only sashimi and sushi, but also grilled whale meat and seafood hotpot. I ate a lot of breakfast. Considering the price, it's the best and I would like to come again.The inn is a 3-story building with a rooftop, so there is no elevator. Personally, I don't feel inconvenienced at all since there is no travel distance, but if you need it, it would be better to choose an inn with such facilities.
