I can feel the thoughtfulness of ``hospitality with delicious food.''Each item was carefully made and truly delicious.Hitachi beef has a very delicious flavor from its fat.The strawberries for dessert are freshly picked vine berries from Ajigaura.It was my first time having Vine Berry.Juicy with a good balance of sweetness and acidity.It was a delicious strawberry.Because of its soft flesh, strawberries can only be tasted locally.I was very satisfied.Sada coffee ground from beans after breakfastIt smells good and is good.The sea is right outside the inn.You can take a walk while feeling the sea breeze.*You can also purchase admission tickets to Hitachi Seaside Park.(Discount available)I came to see nemophila.It bloomed in 3 parts, but depending on the location.Nemophila blue was spreading.The forecast was for rain, but it was cloudy, both in the parking lot and inside the park.Good thing it was empty.

Addendum 2024/2/5-6This is my 4th visit 😊I went there while there was news about snow in the Kanto region.(Limited to the reservation date... a little disappointing)This is my first time coming in the winter. The wind, rain, and snow were terrible.I couldn’t even go for a walk 😢However, once I arrived at Kairaku-san, I felt relieved.I immediately took a bath.Surprisingly, what had changed since I came here for the first time in a while was that there was a refrigerator in the room. (I always stay in a room with a terrace) Next time, I thought it would be convenient to be able to bring my own beer and drinks.Dinner included yose nabe!(I didn't order the optional monkfish hotpot because I don't like it.) You can make it like a grated hotpot (you can add grated grated radish if you like).The yuzu peel was a nice accent and it was delicious. For dessert, I had cake for the first time and it was delicious 😋Once again, we received the kind service from the owner and the young landlady, and had a relaxing time! The fatigue from work was blown away! thank you very much.The photos are grainy because my new phone's camera isn't very good.Addendum 2023/9/5-6This is my third visit 😊It was still hot and I had planned to go fishing, but I only had a little time, so I stepped into the sea for the first time in decades and had fun lol.Even though it was September, there were still people swimming at Ajigaura Beach 🌊It seems that Kaigetsu won't appear either...They say that she will appear after Obon. It felt good😁I want to come and swim next year in season 😊It feels like going back to my parents' house, for the third time😂I would like to thank the owner and the young proprietress for their hard work this time as well.Thank you for your consideration.I was blown away by the same hospitality and exquisite food😋This time I was especially full lolThank you for the meal.The gratin was especially delicious. Also boiled red fish. Horse mackerel sashimi too!I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast last time, so I'll post it as an additional one.In the summer, it seems that they accept students from club training camps, so it might be difficult to make a reservation, but I recommend relaxing at Kairaku in the summer 😊 Next time I'll go in December 😊✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼I went to Nakaminato for fishing for one night.After reading everyone's reviews, I decided on Kairaku out of the many accommodations available.I used to work as a bus guide, so I stayed at various inns and hotels. I've been to a lot of private accommodations, but Kairaku was the one I felt was the best✨.I like hot springs, so I was a little hesitant when making a reservation because I thought there wasn't a hot spring, but there's Nozomi nearby, so I guess it's a good idea! So I made a reservation.In the end, I was satisfied with Kairaku's bath so I didn't go to Nozomi's 😅The building is new, and as everyone said, it's been well maintained and really beautiful✨✨✨The lobby, rooms, large hall, hallways, and bathrooms are all clean✨Also, since we were the only group that reserved the place, I cannot thank the owner and the young proprietress enough for their thoughtfulness.The room with a terrace overlooking the sea was very comfortable.I enjoyed the sea breeze and took a walk along the coast in the morning 😊And the food was made by a young proprietress, so it was delicious and very satisfying💮Everything❣️Everything was delicious.The bath was not a hot spring, but it was available for private use, so I was able to soak in it without any hesitation.By the way, I only took a shower in the morning.The most important thing is the personality of the owner and the young proprietress.Exactly what everyone in the reviews said❣️The dried sweet potatoes were delicious. Also, thank you for traveling to Iba 😊 I was able to safely buy souvenirs for the remaining half 😊I recommend it 120% to everyone✨I’m going next month❣️😁Thank you very much 😊

Although it is an inn along the coast of Ajigaura, it has a luxurious feel that makes it hard to believe that it is a guesthouse. I will choose this place as my regular place to stay when traveling to Ibaraki.The taste of the slightly larger meal was also great. This time I ordered monkfish hotpot, and it's the best one I've had so far.Thank you for the delicious food, consideration, and clean room.

I stayed here for one night with my 0 and 2 year old children to see nemophila at Hitachi Seaside Park.Is it not available on reservation sites? It's a small hotel, but it was a great hotel and I think we made the right choice.In particular, the owner's personality and service are wonderful, and this is the kind of hotel I would like to visit again.【meal】Although we don't have a buffet like you would find in a large hotel, all of the food served was delicious, especially the rice, so much so that I had to refill it three times without any side dishes.[Guest room]Although it was a typical Japanese-style room, it was very clean and you could see the sea from the large balcony.The hallways and banquet hall were also very clean.【bath】The bath wasn't very big, and since it was a weekday and there weren't many guests, we were able to use it as a family bath.

I found a comfortable inn after a long time!!As everyone's reviews have said, I don't like it, and it's better than that.This is an inn where you can feel the spirit of hospitality in everything.If a dear friend comes to stay at my house,Cleaning, meals, futons, baths (& amenities), and many other things are done with your friends in mind, and this is an inn where you can feel that way.Cleaning is at the highest level ever.From the balcony railing to the window sash.The food is hearty, and it's not too much for us, a middle-aged couple, to be able to finish, but it's just the right amount of food (very satisfying), and the coffee we had after breakfast was perfect after a meal. It was an exquisitely delicious coffee.This is also the best breakfast coffee I've ever had.Although the bath was not a hot spring, it was very pleasant.I don't have any regrets, but to put it simply,There is no washlet in the toilet of the room (lol)But it's on the first floor, so it wasn't a problem.I was able to use the travel discount, and it was an inn that I would definitely stay at again.

It's near the sea (beach) and it's off-season, so the rooms are quiet and clean.The service is very pleasant and the food is delicious. In particular, the sashimi was fresh and delicious.

I was very impressed with the care of the owner and others! !The food (Wagyu beef from Ibaraki prefecture and additive-free sweetness) was very delicious.At the front, there is a stylish tea incense burner (^_-)-☆When I was wondering which spot to go to (everywhere was crowded during Golden Week), the owner gave me a map of Ibaraki and introduced me to some recommendations.I would like to take care of you when you go to Ibaraki Prefecture.p.s. Strawberry jam (handmade with no additives) was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

The reservation process, hospitality, food, and rooms were all excellent. The food in particular was excellent, but the portions were so large that a couple around 40 and a preschooler (children's dishes, the contents are similar to those for adults) were so full that they had to take a break for a while. Also, the room is very clean. I think the equipment is new, but it's well kept. I would like to stay here when I go to Ajigaura. This is a highly recommended inn.
