Isozaki Onsen Hotel New Hakuaki

The food and hot springs were both very good. All the employees were also very nice people. Dinner time was a little late, but I was grateful that they accommodated me properly.

I stayed here with my family. The hotel is a little way back down a narrow road. The facilities are typical of a Showa era hotel, but they overcome that with ingenuity. The food is delicious. Dinner is a hearty Japanese meal, mainly local seafood. Breakfast is a buffet, and the impression was that they used local ingredients and did not cut corners at all. Other services include a shampoo buffet and the ability to grind coffee beans from Saza Coffee in your room and make your own coffee. The only complaint I have is that the Wi-Fi was unstable (and there was no password). I didn't mind it, but the curtains were a little torn and the aging of the facilities may be a concern for some people.

As soon as I parked my car in the parking lot, the staff waited for me and carried my luggage. The room was large, Japanese style, very clean and comfortable. There were many local dishes, and I was very satisfied. The quality of the hot spring was good, and the view of the sea from the open-air bath was great. Also, I was happy to have free drinks in the lobby and a service where I could grind and drink coffee myself in my room. In addition, lotions and milky lotions were prepared in the bathrooms and rooms, which was very helpful. Repeat decision. Above all, it is recommended because the correspondence of all staff was very polite and good.

Staying in a spacious Japanese-Western style room made me feel luxurious. For the meal, I chose the seasonal monkfish hotpot, and enjoyed the rice porridge at the end. The amount was too much for the two elderly couples to eat, but it was delicious. After taking a bath in the morning, I visited Sakatsura Isosaki Shrine in the neighborhood, and then I saw the sunrise at Isozaki Lighthouse. it was beautiful. There is also a service to grind and brew coffee beans yourself, and I enjoyed the aroma of coffee for the first time in a while.

Stayed at Shion (Room 201). The room is newly established and has the best structure with an open-air bath with a room overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The free beer server installed in the room and the facilities and equipment were the best. The customer service is just as good as word of mouth. However, no matter how you look at it, it's a national lodging house, and it's in a bad state of deterioration. I could barely endure it because the day trip bathing was only in the daytime (until 14:30) due to the influence of the corona wreck. Guests can take a bath from 16:00 (15:30 on the day), so the small indoor and outdoor baths are expected to be very crowded. It wasn't very clean, and I only used the public bath once. Meals are a big minus for us, and although we knew in advance about the dining venue, it was terrible. The contents of the meal were generally not good, and the local products were not made use of, so I expected to be close to the fishing port, but it was no good. Only the hot spring water was more than expected, and I used the open-air bath in the room many times and obtained the source of the hot spring. I think cospa is very bad.
