This time I stayed in the annex, and there was an open-air bath with an indoor bath on the 1st floor, and since it was off-season, there weren't many people, so I was able to enjoy it by myself⭐The food is delicious and plentiful, and the proprietress and staff are very kind. It has also become a place I want to visit during the off-season.

Crabs can be eaten in a wide variety of ways for the purpose of eating, and the more you can eat, the more you can take as souvenirs.The room with a toilet and washroom is also clean and quiet.The view from the room is outstanding, especially the sunset, which you can watch until it sets.The hot spring leaves your skin smooth and satisfying.It's not very big, but you can relax while looking out at the ocean.Perhaps because it is a little far from the famous area and there are no neon lights, the crab full course is reasonably priced and feels like a little-known guesthouse.However, there are short stairs outside the main building, but there are three types of stairs, so it is difficult for people with physical disabilities to use them.This is a guesthouse that I would like to use every year.

The crabs here are the best. I ate so much crab sashimi, steamed crab, crab shabu, crab steamed egg custard, and nodoguro that my stomach burst. It was delicious. Super satisfied 🤗 I want to go again ❤❤

Anyway, it's reasonable and delicious!It's not like it's tagged as a local, but they serve plenty of local crabs and it's heart-wrenching!Crab sashimi, boiled crab, grilled steamed crab, crab hot pot, crab tempura, stone grilled meat, chawan mushi, sashimi platter, dessertI can't eat it all! Delicious. Kind to small children.The bath is small, but the spring quality is good.It's a modest inn, but the price is unbelievably good for this much crab. To be honest, I went to a crazy crab inn, but it was ridiculously expensive, and I went to places like Tainin Crab and Kasumi, but I think the cost and crab value and quality were the best.but. It's not a relaxing luxury inn.That's hard to ask for though. Although it can't be helpedIs it endearing to be so rushed?When I arrived a little before 6 o'clock, I was rushed to eat, not only after taking a bath, but also as soon as I dropped off my luggage, and driving for 4 hours without sitting in my room was exhausting. How many times did I arrive late at night? That's what I was told by all the people who kept coming and going. It's not 6 o'clock yet. and. As soon as breakfast arrived at 8 o'clock, I was forced to hurry. Honestly, all this made me cringe.However, I understand that it is acceptable since it is a small inn and there are some arrangements. More than that, the price, food, and service were so good that I was able to get some extra money, so next time I'll be proactive and avoid feeling rushed and become a repeat customer. . But oh well. It's not right for an inn to be impatient and force you to make your own arrangements. I want you to stop saying things that are blaming.
