“Great classic hotel plus amazing front desk team who made us feel like a home.”
The space is huge. The front desk staff’s offered extra miles help for our needs. The location is great for the ocean from a good distance but still hearing the roar of the waves and the wind.

“It was a great introduction into Japanese accommodation”
It was beautiful and spacious compared to other places where we stayed. The hotel had a swimming pool (rather shallow) which was marvellous in the heat. Our unit had two couches - a rare find.

“One word : Onsen”
Superb view on the city and the bay. The sunset was amazing. The room was HUGE! Bigger than my home. The laundry equipement in the room was super convenient. The hitel has a Onsen. A ONSEN! Onsen are the best thing ever! You can soak the day's fatique away by immersing in Japanese Culture.

“Amazing view and breakfast”
We were very surprised with the room, because it was a studio with a kitchen and washing facilities (washing machine and dryer). The view was amazing. We were there off-season and the kitchen really came in handy :) The apartment was a bit worn-out but it didn't really matter because the view was amazing. The breakfast was very good, really Japanese style, it was worth the extra cost (not included). The hot springs (public bath) was also very nice.
