I used it for the first time♪There are three beautiful cottages in front of the sea, and you can enter from the front road to the back of the building and there is a reception building, where you can check in. The staff was kind and accommodating.This time we stayed for 2 nights in a Bali style room called “HOU” (^^)I put it on for dinner on the first day and didn't put it on the second day, but I regret it a little because I wish I had put it on both days (>_<)The meal on the first night was lavish, especially the sashimi, which I thought was amazing! ” There were so many.Gohanmiso soupsmall bowlSashimiboiled fishfried fishhomemade dried grilled fishetc.A very satisfying meal♪I don't think there was much of a difference in price between adding it and not adding it. With that difference in price, this meal is a bit amazing.By the way, if you come from the Izumo area, there aren't many good supermarkets. I ended up passing the cottage and went to a supermarket called Goody to buy some food. It was a good supermarket with a good selection of products.The first floor of the cottage room is the kitchen and living room, and the second floor is the bedroom, bath, and washroom, so I spent most of my time relaxing on the first floor (^.^)There is a wide selection of tableware, glasses, and cooking utensils. If you want to make dashimaki, please bring your own. I brought it (lol)I had everything I thought would be helpful, including Saran wrap, kitchen paper, and vinyl. Your attentiveness is amazing (^.^)I brought oil and seasonings with me because I'm a bit of a clean freak (^_^;I bought some rice at a roadside station along the way, but there was plenty of rice for dinner, so I might have enough for breakfast. There is also a rice cooker.I had a projector in my room, so I was watching everything. It's a little hard to see if the room is bright, so it might be difficult to watch a movie while eating (^.^)The cleaning and supplies were perfect, and it was quiet and relaxing, so I gave it 5 stars.Next time I want to have a barbecue in the garden!Please bring your own loungewear as we do not provide them.This time I brought the one I had bought for that purpose.When I checked out, I noticed some stylish handmade bath salts and bought some as gifts. The service even included homemade overnight drying, which left me very satisfied until the very end.It looks like you can enjoy it all season, but next time let's come when the fish are delicious♪

It was my first time staying there. I was very satisfied with everything, including the spacious room, clean facilities, delicious food, and the customer service of the wonderful owner and his wife! I also tried the tent sauna as an option, which was also perfect! I want you to try it! The equipment information file was very easy to understand, and there was nothing I didn't understand when using it. This time we recommend fisherman's food! I was so satisfied with the fresh fish that I couldn't finish! I was able to eat slowly in my room, so I finished it all! So much for this amount! ? I think so! You can see the ocean from your room, the stars are beautiful at night, and the location is perfect! I definitely want to use it again! !

This facility has just opened. There are three buildings, divided into three styles: Bali, hotel, and American, and each room has a different atmosphere that will make you want to stay as many times as you like. A relaxing space where you can enjoy activities on the sea in the summer and relax while enjoying fisherman's meals in the off-season.

Even a 4-year-old child can walk to the beach, and there is a shower at the front door, which is convenient.The room is clean and the food is delicious! I was able to enjoy the scenery while feeling the sea breeze. I thought it was a good idea to have a bathroom on the second floor.

Great location right in front of the beach. The sea was also clear, beautiful and calm.The Balinese-themed condo was very beautiful, with a hammock outside, a hanging chair in the bedroom, and well-tended houseplants. The facilities are so complete that I don't think there is anything they don't have. If you actually use our hotel, you will immediately realize that every detail is taken care of for the guests.I didn't ask for it this time, but the deck? garden? There was also a barbecue stove, which I would definitely like to use next time.The food we had that night was so fresh and delicious, it was definitely the best meal we had on this trip (everything was exquisite).Although my check-in time was later than planned because I was traveling by train, I was warmly welcomed (it was a very hot day, but they had prepared my room with an air conditioner). The innkeeper's personality is really very pleasant, and I'm convinced that's why it's such a wonderful facility. Next time I visit, I would like to check in early and spend a relaxing time.The facility has carefully posted a lot of photos of the rooms online, so I think you can get a good feel for the atmosphere, but I think you'll be even more impressed than the photos when you actually use the room.There is one thing to keep in mind for those who are considering staying overnight (travel to the site). As I wrote above, the facility could not be in a better location. There is little traffic and it is quiet. However, perhaps due to this, unfortunately there are no convenience stores within walking distance (there are vending machines on the Kute coast in front of the hotel). The nearest station is JR Kute Station, but it is unstaffed and does not accept IC payments (please be sure to purchase a ticket from Izumo-shi Station), and there are only one train every two hours. Be sure to prepare in advance and check the timetable! It's one straight road from Kute Station, and it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the facility. (However, what is very helpful is that there is a taxi office right in front of the station, and the driver is always on duty. On the way home, I can't wait 2 hours for the next train, so I go from in front of Kute Station to Izumo City Station. I used this service before and the driver here was also very nice. There are a lot of nice people in Shimane Prefecture.Shimane has many sightseeing spots, but I think it would be a good idea to stay at Vihara and just have a swim in the sea (or have a BBQ while relaxing with a view). The laid-back atmosphere of the area, the kind locals, and the long, beautiful coastline. You can fully enjoy the best parts of Shimane. If you love the sea and Shimane, please come to Vihara.
