Actually its all good ecxept for the check in process. We arrived before 3pm then when the time to check in at 3pm there is a long line in the reception .We had to wait for 35 to 40 mins to received the keys . I think they need to add more staff on their check in process to have smooth check in procedure.

The hotel is big and the room is big too for our family. The service is really good and they offer free drinks in the lobby. The hotel is old but comfortable. We need to wear our slippers in the hallway because it is a Japanese hotel. My kids enjoyed their comic room even if they don't read Japanese.

We arrived about 45 minutes ahead of check in time after driving straight from Kansai Airport. The parking lot had about 10 cars in it and the lobby was deserted. I was surprised we were not permitted to check in early and had to wait for the official check in time. Understandable if hotel was busy but it seemed very odd to make us wait. Otherwise, place was generally ok.

far from local station; shuttle times not often

Expect great Japanese hospitality. Room was spacious. Two bed option was great for traveling friends. Had seating area with table and amazing view from room. Did not have access path to beach. The shuttle was infrequent and had to be reserved the day prior before 5 pm. The hotel is about a 10 minute ride from the Minabe station and in 2019 cost 1780 JPY. The pool is open starting in July, so although it was a resort, there was no swimming option. Overall, reasonable option with great view if that’s what you’re looking for.

This is an excellent hotel with large but very average rooms. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel has a wonderful, large onsen (Japanese bath) both indoors and outdoors, but the restaurant is very average
