Absolutely wonderful experience!! Newly built hotel due to 2011 tsunami. The room was spotless, comfortable, with an amazing view overlooking the Pacific Ocean and even had a small balcony! Dinner was a multi-course meal prepared by Chef Koichi Ito and was both delicious and beautifully presented. Staff was very kind, taking the time to use google translate to help explain to us what each dish was; there was also English instructions prepared for us when we checked in and when we were at breakfast. Would highly recommend this hotel, and I hope to return to this beautiful area of Japan and stay here again someday!

Stayed overnight during a tour of Japan. This past of the coast was devastated in the 2011 tsunami so part of the visit was to see how the region has recovered and to enjoy the beautiful costal scenery. This is a small hotel overlooking the beach. The rooms and comfortable and ours was very spacious with a small balcony overlooking the seashore. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided in room and there are vending machines with various kinds of cold drinks available. The hotel includes an Onsen bath for men and women which was very nice to use. Traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast are included. Dinner was about 10 courses and although the menu was all in Japanese the waiter was super helpful and tried to explain what some of the dishes were. These included sashimi, sharks fin soup, grilled marlin, beef tongue ( a delicious local specialty, tastes like beef brisket) steak fillet, various vegetables steamed or pickled, soup, and egg plant ice cream for dessert. Very filling and delicious.
