We just got engaged and I can assure you the staff goes above and beyond to make your experience unique and unforgettable. I won't share the many things they did for us to let it be a surprise but counting this plus the seaside hotspring as well as other elements of the island made us regret not being able to spend more time there. We will come back for sure on our next trip to Japan! Thank you very much for having us ♥️

“Many dedicated staff to ensure you have a good stay”

Amazing experience especially with the Kaiseki course. In the mornings they also have Maguro sale and you can buy some products that aren't offered at the gift shop. There is at least one staff to attend to your needs to ensure that you have a pleasant stay.

“Don’t miss!”

Fabulous hotel! Totally refurbished 4 years ago when they reorientated the hotel to the other side of the island which now connects to the main part via a tunnel - so any pics you may have of the facade are completely outdated and the hotel is beautifully interior designed with super spacious communal areas. The staff were delightful, the rooms great with wonderful views out to sea, the restaurant was a culinary feast and the spa spacious and great with outdoor area. Free beer, ice cream, saki all on tap - what’s not to like! Don’t miss this place! We checked in after a 5 day trek on the kumano kodo - it felt like paradise!

Overall, a good experience, though not a truly Japanese one. The hotel is the sole presence on the island. Make sure to take the walk to the top of the island as the views are worth the effort. The staff are great, the food too. Parking in town is free and convenient, the staff taking bags to the nearby dock for the 5 minute trip to the hotel. We stayed in a room with an outside bath (not geo-thermal water), which are in the new building near the dock. These rooms are spacious, well equipped and well finished. The majority of rooms (perhaps 40?) are in the main building on the other side of the island. No idea how these compare. The onsen and rotenburo are supplied with geo-thermal water. The hotel seemed full during our visit in March. The majority of guests, perhaps 75%, appeared to not be Japanese. The whole onsen/kaiseki experience is uniquely Japanese, however their absence makes the hotel feel a bit like a theme park. A fairly pricey place to stay, but (probably) worth it. We'd like to return.
