“A nice, homely place to stay at, not overrun with tourists”
Such a lovely place, right next to the beach (2 mins walking) with lovely staff and everything decorated & done with style and love. We much enjoyed our stay here. Bonus: we booked the Sashimi dinner and it was beautiful and delicious. The next day we booked the curry for dinner and this was also amazing!

We stayed 2 nights at Hitotomaru and it was an amazing experience. The hosts are wonderful and so kind, the space they have created is so cozy and comfortable. We felt very privileged to be able to stay there. The breakfast and dinner offered was also very nice and reasonably priced. We were even given a lift to the train station as it was raining. Highly recommend staying there.

The vibes at this hotel are unmatched! When you walk in you're greeted by books, art and the sweetest host. We could use the kitchen to make our own dinner and he served us some home made drinks at the bar.

“Amazing stay, would highly recommend!”
Such a beautiful guesthouse, traditional yet quirky at the same time. Great amenities. The owners were very welcoming and made us one of the most incredible meals we had in Japan. The location is great, super close to the beach and very easy yet beautiful drive to the local onsens. We also loved all the owners screenprinted artwork!
