I made a reservation on Omakase and visited with my 80 year old in-laws and family. I am satisfied with the food according to the reviews. The sashimi is fresh, and the sea bream and spiny lobster are twitchy. However, there were many dishes that made good use of the ingredients, so I plan to repeat, but I might get bored if it's the same every time. The hot springs were said to be slippery, but they were much more pleasant than I expected. The landlady, Ms. Nakai, was warm and very kind. The inside of the building was an old building, but it has been completely renovated so it doesn't feel old. Since my legs are weak, I found it difficult to use the small toilet. I hope to hear from you again.

I used it on a family trip. The children are middle school and elementary school students. There are no convenience stores or supermarkets around the location. The inn's vending machines only sell beer and soft drinks. The building of the inn is old, but it feels clean. The view of Naruto Ohashi Bridge from the sea side room is good. The sea side room I stayed in was spacious with 12 tatami mats. However, be careful as the toilet is extremely small. There is a refrigerator, but there is no freezing function. The food was the most standard, but the funamori sea bream that came out was still moving and my child's face was twitching, but it was fatty, thick, and very filling. The steamed sea bream called Horai-yaki that came next was very delicious.It had no fat so it didn't get stuck in your stomach, and it had a lot of flavor so it went down well. Honestly, I can't eat it all. By the way, the menu for elementary school students was not much different from the adult menu, just a few fewer items. There is only an indoor bath, but since it is located in Uzushio Onsenkyo, the quality of the spring water is smooth and seems to be good for the body. It's not very salty, but it's better to take a shower before going out. The staff are friendly and very nice. There is a name posted at the entrance of the inn that says "Welcome Mr. ○○", and it feels like a good Showa era inn.

I visited last year and loved it so much that this year my mother-in-law and I came together as three generations. I had to ask for a chair or a cot for my mother-in-law who has trouble walking, and she was very kind and provided all the services in a pleasant manner. Although the building is older, it is kept clean and spacious, so I had a comfortable stay. The part I liked the most was the food. The life of the sea bream was moving. The fish was so fresh that even the kids enjoyed eating it. It was full of volume. What's more, the timing of the food delivery is perfect, and the hot food is served at the right time without getting cold. This is the best inn to eat sea bream. There are lots of children's toys (wooden puzzles, etc.) in the lobby, which is helpful. All the staff were very polite and helpful. Especially the landlady is wonderful. I will definitely visit again.

The food is simple sashimi and Horakuyaki, but it's fresh and delicious.The spiny lobster sashimi and sea bream sashimi are so fresh that they come out alive and have been moving for a while.The sea bream shabu was cooked a little and was delicious, and the sauce that served with the Horakuyaki was also very delicious.Also, you have to make a reservation in advance, but the sea bream somen noodles and the sea bream meat and kabuto with dashi soup were delicious.I think small children can eat a lot of somen noodles and Horakuyaki sea bream.The staff were also kind and nice.

This was my second time visiting this inn.This inn is highly recommended for its food, baths, and service.The first time I visited was on a trip with my family of four, and my children, who are now in their late 30s, were in elementary school.At that time, we took the morning ferry to Kochi, visited Katsurahama and other areas, and then headed to Awaji Island. The expressway may not have been fully opened yet. I remember contacting the inn on the way as it was getting quite late and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to check in in time. I think I probably arrived late or just before the check-in time, but they still welcomed me warmly and even prepared a full course dinner for me at a late hour. The dinner was wonderful, and I would have liked to have enjoyed it more slowly, but since I had time to take a bath, I declined the cod-cooked sea bream, but they prepared it for me for breakfast the next day.My whole family and I have always said that we want to eat such delicious food again, and this time our wish finally came true and we decided to visit again. The unfortunate thing is that my husband passed away five years ago and I couldn't get revenge with my whole family. Still, this time I was able to visit with my older child (daughter), my husband, and two grandchildren (infants), making it a great trip for the six of us.The food was just as delicious as it was back then, and I was able to enjoy it slowly. I was able to enjoy the bath slowly.My grandson is an honest man, and he ate sea bream sashimi, salt-grilled, and boiled sea bream, but the sashimi from the seafood bowl he had for lunch at the roadside station on the way home was still slurping in his mouth for a while. , I let it out. Children are very aware of what tastes good.This is a ryokan that you will want to visit again and again.
