“A good place to stay. Not so used to international guests.”

Room size was good. Front desk was attentive if we had a problem. Clean. Onsen on the room spectacular.

“Very good hotel just at the shore of the Pacific Ocean.”

Great Japanese breakfast - bread, butter and jam were also available. The Japanese guests appear in the provided traditional cloths to the breakfast - this was for me as a tourist surprising but very interesting. My/all rooms go to the pacific ocean which is just a few meters away - the waves were crashing furiously to the big rock in front of the hotel – and therefore it can be quite loud – you’ve got to love it. Personnel is very friendly and helpful. There is a roof top pool - but I did not have time to use it. Great place for swimming in the pacific ocean.

“A pleasant surprise”

all the rooms are sea view, and the view is amazing. The sound of waves is the best lullaby ever. I had soundest sleeps in years. The breafast is very diverse and made from lot of healthy local ingredients. Local vegetables and seafood were amazingly delicious. We chose the option of having course menu dinner at the hotel, and it was the best decision I had ever made. The dinner was meticulously prepared, perfectly cooked, and pleasant to the eyes and mouth at the same time. The taste and quality of the foods were comparable to those of Michelin stars restaurants. The staffs were really friendly and smart. The rooftop onsen bath was beautiful and wonderful. Everything was perfect.

Breakfast ok. Dinner was good.

“Lovely”

Food and location

“Excellent for an older building. Friendly staff.”

Breakfast and Dinner were excellent. The lounge was very clean with nice decorations and the view was great with the island. They are next to the start of a boardwalk going along the foreshore that was excellent for an early morning walk while the sun was rising.

The food was excellent and the evening kaiseki menu was very carefully put together to present a variety of textures and flavours with ingredients sourced from the fields, mountains, and ocean of Ibaraki. They ryokan prepares their own food and drink. In the 10+ years that I've traveled around Japan, their aka shiso umeshu is the best I've ever tasted. The view from the rooms is spectacular. The lounge and onsen facilities are also in very good shape.

“You can sea sunrise in the room through the window”

Marvellous sea view

“Ibaraki area seems run down but the property was good and the beach lovely.”

A little bit older property but beautifully kept and very old school charm. Stunning views and an evening lounge where you could sit in comfort and listen to the Pacific waves crash onto the beach.

“Amazing rooftop Onsen with Ocean view. Panorama from room also amazing, excellent breakfast”

Onsen on top floor, room with sea view

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The meals were fabulous and our waiter spoke perfect English which was great for us. Having a balcony overlooking the sea was great and the rooftop onsen was such a bonus.
