Make a reservation and experience straw roasting. Add 800 yen for the experience fee and add miso soup and rice for a total of 3,000 yen for two people. The bonito was fresh and delicious with the scenery and pleasant breeze.

The food was very delicious.It was a course, but the seared bonito in particular was meaty, voluminous, and had a chewy texture that was very delicious.

Although it is a restaurant rather than a hotel, you can enjoy very delicious straw-grilled bonito. The dried fish is also said to be delicious, but the straw-grilled bonito is hearty and delicious.

I used it for 2 nights as a fishing accommodation. Unfortunately, I was unable to eat breakfast as I had to leave early in the morning, but the dinner was very satisfying. The bonito tataki was so delicious that I wanted more. It's the home of bonito, so I guess it's only natural that it's more delicious than the famous restaurants in Kochi City.The hot springs also have open-air baths, and since the inn is located on a hill, you can enjoy relaxing in the hot springs while looking out at the typical Kochi coastline topography.The view from the room is also wonderful, so this is a highly recommended ryokan.

The seared bonito is delicious.The open-air bath is located in a location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and the sea water will warm you up.The number of showers in the washroom is small.

📅2024-JuneI went down from Susaki to Nakatosa.Aiming for a hot spring ♨️ with a wonderful sea view 🌊.Michirun and his friends from Beppu's Meijinkai also joined the next day😊Everyone is aiming for the famous hot springs♨️🎵Shioyu is made by boiling the Kuroshio Current from the Pacific Ocean. Although the water has a slightly salty taste, it is not a chloride spring.The open-air bath overlooks the Pacific Ocean.The weather is so nice on this day, the sun is so strong💦But the warm water feels so good that I feel like I want to stay in it forever.According to the website, the two large public baths in the main building, the white granite bath and the rust stone bath, both have cold spring water.Photography is prohibited in the bathhouse🍀Since it is not a medical spring, there is no name of the spring quality.

As the name suggests, the main hall has an atmosphere with interior decoration such as shiny black wooden floors and beams. The large public bath is large compared to the number of guest rooms, probably because there is an outpatient bath. The open-air bath is seawater, so if you have any scratches, it will sting. The view from this open-air bath and the after-bath area was amazing. I stayed here to have salted bonito tataki for dinner, and it was even more delicious than I expected! I used to think that the condiments were to cover up the fishy smell, but I now know that the condiments are to bring out the deliciousness of the bonito. The special sauce was also delicious!

A beautiful onsen right on the coast of Nakatosa. Both baths (onsen) switch between male and female so you can experience both on different days. No mixed baths for the public. Each onsen has showers, a dry sauna, indoor hot pool (freshwater), outdoor hot pool (saltwater) and outdoor cold pool (freshwater?, couldn’t exactly tell, but I didn’t drink to double check :P) they have a beautiful view of the ocean, and the left onsen has a good view of sun setting behind the mountains. Massage chairs, gift shop, coffee milk (an essential for best onsen experience)
