Hotel Sunflower

This summer, I spent 3 nights on Tokashiki Island.Anyway, it was difficult to find a place to stay, so I decided to stay at a place where I could get a reservation, but in the end, I made the right choice.We have three children, so we have a lot of luggage, so even when we go to the beach, we bring a lot of things like floats.It's a pain just to carry it, but if you go out the back door of this hotel, you'll be at the sea in just a few tens of seconds.When I saw it for the first time, I was really excited.When I got back from the beach, I had to wash the sand off my body and wash my swimsuit...which was also difficult, but it was really convenient to be able to wash off the sand at the washing area (with hot water) at the back entrance.There are several showers, so everyone can use them without having to wait in line.Life jackets can be left to dry until the next day in the wet suit drying area in the washing area. Place your floats and water/land shoes underneath.There are two washing machines that I can use for free, so after I returned from the beach and took a shower, I washed my clothes every day and hung them to dry in the drying rack next to them.Apparently this drying area is where the hotel hangs washed towels and other items during the day, so I was told that I could dry them in the evening and bring them back in the morning.The outdoor unit of the cooler blows air, so it dries quickly.There are lots of ropes that you can hook onto and fasten with clothespins.There is also a rope on the balcony of the room, so please put your underwear there.There was a water server on the first floor so we could get cold water, and we could also make tea in a pot.There was no kettle in the room, so I kept the Sanpin tea I bought in the fridge and drank it, but I didn't feel it was an inconvenience.I objectively gave the room a minus 1 because there was no kettle and the bathtub was small, but personally I don't care.I thought there was no hair dryer, but it was behind the mirror on the dresser.After washing the floats, etc., I could spread them out on the lawn in the back to dry, which was also convenient.Anyway, it was very easy to deal with the small troubles that occur when you go to the beach (such as removing sand and doing laundry), so every day went really smoothly.Our family stayed overnight without meals, but in the morning we went to Aragaki Shoten to buy onigiri and sandwiches (delicious and filling), at noon we went to Aragaki Shoten to buy bento (taco rice, etc.) and ate on the beach, and in the evening we went to a restaurant ( I went to eat at the restaurant (reservations required) and was able to eat delicious food every day.The children were absolutely fascinated by the hotel's dog parents, Mugi-chan and Komugi-chan, and they still often come up in conversation.They are really cute, so there is no doubt that they will become idols during your stay.Overall, it is not suitable for couples who want to spend time in a beautiful inn, but it is recommended for families who often do small things.Next time I go to Tokashiki, I would like to use Sunflower again.The photo is the view from the room's balcony.The best!
