This hotel was incredible from beginning to end.
We walked the short 5 minutes from the nearest JR train station and was immediately greeted by bellhops that took our luggage and brought us into the hotel reception area. The gentleman that checked us in spoke excellent English and explained to us every detail we would need to know while at the hotel.
The room was fantastic! Very Japanese in style, with the water closet at the front door in its own little room, and the bathroom inside the room by the windows. The bathroom has a powder room, then further in is a shower area, and then even further in there is a private onsen bathtub that is open to the outside. The room also has a balcony that we sat on to enjoy watching the sun rise right over the ocean.
We had the Japanese-style meal for our dinner. I did not love everything during the meal, but it was all quite good regardless. They have an excellent selection of sake, and the fish is always fresh and whatever is in peak season.
The hotel has two public baths; one is outdoors, and one is indoors on the top floor. We went only to the indoor bath, and it was very nice. Men and women are separate, of course, so I can't comment on the women's onsen. There was no cold pool, but three different temperature hot pools, ranging from warm to quite hot. I saw a very pretty and rather large butterfly while relaxing in the pool, and also a couple of interesting insects.
We only stayed one night, and very much wish we had stayed longer.
