I decided to stay at this hotel because I was planning to go to Sado Gold Mine in the morning and the plan included grilled abalone.All rooms seem to face the sea, and since they are on a hill, you can see the bay and the view is very good.This was my first time trying grilled abalone, but I highly recommend it as it is thick but very tender, and the liver is not bitter and very delicious.The only rice available at night and in the morning was 5-minute rice, which was a shame, as I wanted to try the delicious white rice from Niigata.The vegetables have a slightly bitter taste, probably because they are homemade, so children may not like them.The food seems to be average overall. It seems like they use a variety of carefully selected ingredients, but when asked if it's delicious...Considering the balance with the price, I think I will choose another place next time.

There is a large hotel right next door, but it feels cozy. Many of the ingredients were home-grown and used fewer pesticides, and were very delicious.

I used it on a solo trip. The hot springs, dinner and breakfast were both very delicious, and the people there were all very warm. The location is by the sea, so the sunsets are beautiful, and you can feel nature to the fullest.I would like to go again.

It's a great inn with a great view. Isn't this one of the best accommodations as a base for sightseeing as it is close to the Sado Gold Mine?Since it wasn't crab season for rice, we were served a very large rock oyster!It was so delicious that I ate it for the first time!This is a recommended accommodation for those who like seafood ☺️

I think it depends on the day of the week, but I was grateful that they accepted my solo trip. It seems that there is a shuttle service to Aikawa, but there are 4 flights to the hotel near the hotel on weekdays, and on weekends and holidays, the number is reduced to 3 as reservations must be made the day before. Transfer at Sawada for both. The food, alcohol, and even the soap in the bathroom were made with natural ingredients.The only ``rice'' I had was polished rice, but it was delicious and I had refills many times. It was very quiet and relaxing.
