YYoungWe are a family of four—two Japanese children and two adults (half Japanese, half American). We’ve lived in Japan for 25 years and have stayed in many ryokan across the country. We’re happy to pay a premium if the experience is worth it, but unfortunately, this ryokan did not meet expectations. The public bath is in need of renovation, the food was very ordinary, and there were storage boxes placed around the restaurant during dinner, which took away from the atmosphere.
Staff are nice.
OOlegIt's my first time staying in ryokan with onsen and it was amazing since check in procedure full of warm relation and complete introduction to local habits till my first onsen visit.
Something special is dinner in traditional Japanese way and sleeping on futons.
Onsen with different baths and types of water is perfect after hard travel day and went us into the sleep in a seconds
Very small and remarkable city around the hotel easy to walk around and keep a lot of nice photos to remember
Super convinient location in 5 min to railroad station to Kobe and 30 min total to Shin-Kobe station.
Staff support us even when we need to send luggage to the next hotel in Kyoto.
Wish to visit it again
小小兔媽媽I come to the island mainly to visit the rabbits and enjoy the quietness with the rabbits in semi nature! And this is the only hotel I can stay on this island. But everything is on average with friendly and helpful staff! The only thing I want to give a feedback is the smell of the room. After staying there for 2 nights, my clothes came with a strange smells from the bedding and its dated and damped smell in the room. Everything is clean but when the building got old, smells will just come along inevitably. So its better to offer air freshener or purifier in the room.
LLiliia. LiliiaВеликолепный отель. Отлично отдохнули. Большой номер с видом на море. Вода в онсене термальная очень приятная. На улице есть ножной онсен. Вкусный японский завтрак. Напитки любые в лобби-баре, конфеты , закуски.
Очень уютный тихий отель, обязательно приедем еще.
ผผู้เข้าพักWe had a wonderful time enjoying the onsen bath, recliner lounge, ocean terrace and beautiful view from our room (Note: trip.com booking of lowest priced room with sea view is not correct as the room is located at the lowest level and you only see trees before the ocean. We need to pay extra to upgrade the room to a better view). There's a private onsen bath tub in the room too. They also provide free coffee, popsicle sticks and yukata at the lobby. Dinner and breakfast has a reasonable spread but most food (especially the fried ones) are pre-cooked and cold. So they don't taste as good. The location is high up the hills. It's not possible to get a bus and then climb up with heavy luggages. The best way is to take a taxi, so be prepared to pay the price.
KKayDubA huge hotel of great granduer. Make sure you make a booking for the night boat tour of the famous Tori gate. Bookings are open to hotel guests ahead of time. The seasonal dinner was stunningly good w greatest local flair. As it was peak sakura season, the buffet breakfast crowd was quite chaotic. There were a number of big tour groups and were obviously in a rush. I loved the live station hand made maru-gata onigiri (丸型おにぎり). That was really special at a busy buffet. Kudos!
