Hana Rebun

I booked this hotel because it was said to be the best on Rebun Island, but the room was very poorly furnished. The price is comparable to that of a famous, long-established inn on Honshu, but it's a seasonal inn, so I guess that can't be helped. I don't like public baths, so I tried to use the bathroom in my room, but the body shampoo was almost empty. The little bit left at the bottom seemed dirty, so I used the shampoo I brought with me. I'm glad I brought it. Does this mean you're not allowed to use the bathroom in your room? The good thing about it is the view? The food was delicious, but the explanation was given without a mask, right above the food. I went to relax, so it was more comfortable without the landlady's greeting at dinner. I think it would be a good idea to take a simple survey and only guests who want it should be asked.

It was a great hotel, just as I had heard. I stayed for two nights, and the food was different on the first and second nights, so I was able to enjoy both sea urchin and hairy crab. They basically served me bafun, but it had a little bit of purple mixed in. The landlady came out to see me many times, and it was a very homey and comfortable place. However, it is a fairly large hotel, so it tends to cater for groups.

I think it can be rated as the best hotel on Rebun Island. The open-air bath facing the sea is not a hot spring, but it is wonderful and will soothe the fatigue of your trip even late at night. The dining room for breakfast and dinner was in a corner room facing the port, and all the food, including the hair crab dish at dinner, was excellent. The quantity was appropriate and the seasoning was perfect, showing the high level of skill of the chef. The young Mr. Nakai was charming, and the service was heartwarming, from the greetings from the proprietress at dinner to seeing us off on the shuttle bus. If I have a chance, I would like to visit again.

I stayed here on a tour. It seems very difficult to make a reservation for yourself during the busy season. The hotel is in a good location and has good facilities. The hot springs are nothing special, but the view from the bath is nice. The room was very spacious for two people. The food was so delicious that I couldn't believe it was on a remote island.
