“A Room with a Toilet but no Bath/Shower area”

When I made the booking, I did not realise that the room we booked did not have a bath/shower area. It does have a toilet. We had to use the onsen for our shower, which is not too bad as the onsen is near the dining hall where we have our meals. So after shower, we go straight for our meals. Ove… more

When I made the booking, I did not realise that the room we booked did not have a bath/shower area. It does have a toilet. We had to use the onsen for our shower, which is not too bad as the onsen is near the dining hall where we have our meals. So after shower, we go straight for our meals. Overall, room is considered spacious with all the amenities we need. It faces the sea and is a plus. In terms of location, you probably would need a car to get there. Quite remote but it offers the peace I was looking for. To get to a convenient store, it took us about a half hour drive. They provided Yukata for your to wear to the onsen meals (dinner and breakfast). Loved the outdoor onsen. The dinner is really good and the service staff, though speak limited English, is very helpful. Breakfast is buffet style and there is always crowd on the 2 days we had breakfast there. Do note that there is no wifi in the room, you can only access their wifi in their common areas.

My husband and I road tripped here from our home in Kansai and had a wonderful 1 night stay here. With a few improvements I think this could be 5! - Room had an incredible picturesque view with “ocean side” selection. We opted for the basic room and was pleasantly surprised! Much larger and more appointed than expected #614. Futons were comfy too. - Dinner was great and the $20 upgrade per person was worth it. The presentation alone was impressive (fish head decor! Lol) However, the Ise shrimp was way over cooked and no flavor ~ we couldn’t eat it and was bummed! Breakfast in the main dining room was fine too, appreciated the few western items hehe - Customer Service a bit lazy and slim. No one offered to help with luggage when we arrived lol We also felt very rushed during dinner - it was comical actually, the attendant was lingering and kept coming in when we closed the door (as it was noisy being across the service elevator room). Also weird experience buying special yukata w/ male staff being super up close uncomfortable hahaha would have appreciated woman staff help. - Onsens were good but not amazing. On par for price point. Could be a bit cleaner on the grout. They charge extra I’d you need towels so we just air dried. They should spin it as an eco play to not come off as cheap lol I understand the tactic to curb towel abuse though so whatever. - Very happy with their karaoke private room, 90 minutes for a super reasonable price with great song selection and seemed new. Staff that helped was kind. - Random vending machines around property for snacks and drinks of all kinds was fun. All in all, would return maybe even 2 nights! Very fair pricing. Perhaps being the family next time. The area is wonderful and more to explore. Thanks for a comfortable and enjoyable time!
