    It was very noisy. The people in the room above us kept us up until 1am. You could hear every footstep on the floor above and there noise of the sliding wooden door bashing every time they went in/out travelled through the whole building. Surely the owner can put some padding in the door frame so it doesn’t slam so loudly. Also the washer & dryer was way more expensive than every other hotel we’ve stayed at in Japan - ¥100 for ten minutes! In other hotels that gets you 30 mins at least.

    Nice big room with comfy futons. Nice design

    It has nothing to do with Ryokan, so I think they shouldnt use this term in the name because it is misleading. It feels more like high-class hostel with private rooms.

    Its clean, it has everything you need. TV was big and new. Location is good. Wi-fi works. There is private sento for free.

    2 very small pillows were provided for our group of 3. Wind outside caused loud window rattling/banging which kept us up at night (It wasn’t a typhoon or anything, just normal wind)

    There is no shower in the room, and the only showers are in the onsen, so often you have to wait to get shower. Not comfortable when you come from the beach.

    Beautiful, quiet room, nice interior.

    For the bike rental, keep in mind that the largest size they have corresponds to large in Japanese standard. For me, as a tall European, the largest size was still way too small.

    It's a small and nice place. The small private hot baths are great to end or start the day. I liked staying there. The bike rental they offer was very useful.

    my second stay at this hotel
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Small Twin Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Windows in rooms facing cliffs/road don't block noise at all, so every car/bike passing the hotel at night sounds as if it was literally inside the room (disposable earpluggs available in the room).

    Very comfortable, well-fitted and spacious room, you can use private onsen (almost) anytime. Staff at the reception is only available during set hours, but friendly personnel still let me leave my baggage before the check-in time so that I could freely go sightseeing. It's pretty far from famous local beaches, but it's a walking distance from the train station (and across the street from bus stop), which was my main priority.

    Bath is functional but could be nicer. Close to a big road so it's not the most quiet place. They're a bit strict about check-in times, we arrived at 15:50 but they made us wait until 16:00.

    Room was nice and big enough for two. AC works well. No problems with the shared bathroom. The location is alright (10 min walk from the station) but could be better. There's a good and cheap fish restaurant close by but nothing else much. There's a bus stop right in front to take a bus to Shirahama.

    Check in time at 4pm was a bit late. I wish they were more flexible. We had to wait a couple of hours with nothing to do in the area. Can hear cars on the street at night.

    Private onsen was great. Very clean and comfortable. The washing machine was a plus.

    The room was a little dusty and the futon and comforter smelled like b.o. Location is in between all the places you may want to go, however that also means its not really super close to anywhere. I also was surprised at how expensive the bike rental was by japanese hotel bike rental standards, I don't regret renting the bike though.

    The bikes they rent are light, staff are very nice. I didn't have to wait for the onsen and I enjoyed soaking in it every night.
