Amazing Hotel, even though it is a very traditional and old place, the rooms are very modern and renovated with all the amenities one can think of. Onsen is good too, but very hot. The beach is literally just across the road! The rooms all have an ocean view. Staff is extremely friendly and breakfast is also great. Just watch out to book dinner if possible, as there are not many options to eat around town if you don’t want to take the car.

Super Host & Super Chef! Warm, welcoming, and deeply attentive — the hosts are truly exceptional. Their dedication and knowledge shine through every detail, especially in the meals and the overall stay. Whether you request a pure Buddhist vegetarian meal or have specific needs, they go the extra mile with care and heart. Communication is smooth in both English and Japanese, which makes everything easy and reassuring. A small team, yet incredibly skillful. I’m truly amazed by their hospitality. This is not just a stay — it’s a rare, heartfelt experience that cannot be exchanged for anything. I feel truly blessed. Thank you so much. Very highly recommended. May all your kindness and efforts be returned with abundant merits and blessings. 南無阿弥陀仏 Namu Amida Butsu 🙏🏻😊🌿

Very quiet and only one other guest so I could sleep well without being disturbed. Also there were many toilets and bathroom was very big. The communal area felt very comfortable and it was ideal for chatting to other guests while eating food. The beds also had a foldable shelf at the end which was very convenient for keeping my stuff.

Met the owner who was really friendly and spoke English well. He helped us with providing restaurant recommendations and calling in advance to confirm the restaurant was open before we visited. Also had a really nice dinner in the ryokan with a series of different seafood and meat dishes. Overall a great stay!

You probably need to get a taxi as it's a bit of a hike from the station. Once you are there it's a good location for visiting the town. Manager is a really nice bloke and has decorated the hotel with interesting and tasteful art. Nice bath house. Good size, comfortable rooms.
