5/5
I arrived a little early because I was traveling by car, so when I parked the car and went to the entrance, I was told that they would not be there until check-in time.I was told that I could park my car in the parking lot, so I just walked to see the sights. There are no other tall buildings and you can see it even if it is quite far away.It was very convenient to walk to Kasamatsu Park and other facilities. I would like to go again from this hotel to the places I couldn't go next time.The children also enjoyed the hot spring facilities.There is a supermarket next door, so if you buy some snacks, you can spend your time without having to go out. On the other hand, the hotel only has vending machines for drinks.The food was delicious and the quantity was sufficient. If possible, I thought it would be easier for children to eat meals if they were not only small in quantity but also had simple side dishes.

Reservations for one person are not possible. The location is in front of a shrine famous for the sea, close to the steamer terminal, and the price is not too bad, so it is better to check before making a room reservation.There are a few shops in the countryside, and they are on the opposite side of Viewland, so they are not thriving...

There is a curfew. At midnight, the door is locked and you cannot go out. It seems that it is necessary to adapt to the lifestyle of the host. I'll be under house arrest until morning and can't even go to the convenience store💧Write it down😂If that was the case, I wouldn't have come.

The scenery is beautiful, it is a very Japanese-style hotel, and there is also an open-air bath. The outdoor bath has a rich landscaping.

I always stay here when I come to Amanohashidate. Kago Shrine is located about 3 minutes walk across the road. If you get a room facing the sea, you can see Amanohashidate, which is great. In winter, you can enjoy a full course of crab. I like the inn because it is small but clean.

Highly recommended to everyone 👍🏻We booked one night, one hotel and two mealsIn the evening, we went back to the hotel to prepare for dinner. At first, we thought that everything was already served on the table. As soon as we started eating, the staff started to serve dishes intermittently. Although the portions of each dish were not large, they were all very delicious🤤. I was full (I felt like I was being raised by my grandma until the end of the meal)Every staff member is really warm and kind ❤️Especially the sister who served us, she also told us about the change of the start time of the event and where would be a better place to watch ~ etc. I was really warmed by her enthusiasm. 🥰I will still choose this hotel next time I come to Amanohashidate❤️The following are suggestions for future stays⬇️If you are a foreign tourist who wants to store your luggage, please first find a place to store your luggage and check in at the designated time, because they are still closed in the afternoon 😊 There will be no one at the counter and the door will be closed.There is only a toilet in the room. To take a shower, you have to go to the public hot spring house on the first floor. There are no locked lockers in the hot spring house, so please bring it at your own discretion. The bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel are only written in Japanese. Please also pay attention to the English signs! There are two wall-mounted hair dryers in the bathroom (I think everyone already knows the power of it😏). If you bring a hair dryer, it is recommended that you go back to the room and use it (ps. There is no hair dryer in the room)*ps: If you are planning to move in in the future and do not speak Japanese, it is recommended that you use Google Voice to translate on-site to communicate, which can effectively let the other party know your needs.

I used it before the holidays.The building is small and feels a little old, but it was clean and rated ○.You can see Amanohashidate from the room's balcony, but since the room is on the third floor, you can see it from the side rather than looking down from above, but in the evening and at night, the view is very quiet.The meal was shabu-shabu and crab, and the meat was large and filling, soft and good, and the crab was firm, sweet, and delicious.There was one thing that bothered me.When I entered the room, the futon had been pulled out.I had eaten the next morning and when I thought I was going to take a break in the room, the futon had been put away.I was not informed of anything in advance. I was a little surprised that there wasn't one, so I wish they had told me beforehand when they entered the room.

I should have checked the room properly before booking💦 I booked a room on the Kasamatsu Park side (mountain side) without checking properly💦 I thought all the rooms had an ocean view even though the price didn't change that much💦
