Accommodations in Hōjō

I loved my stay at Shiokaze rider house. It was right on the Henro path. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. We used the phone translator app! I was able to purchase a meal there that I cooked myself and also a cold beer~ so convenient not to have to go out again after a long day of walking. My room was comfortable. The other guests were friendly also. Excellent spot!

Very clean. Friendly staff. They went out of their way to help me and keep me comfortable.

The private onsen with sea view was amazing. The room itself was nice as well, it was a small tatami room and there's also a balcony next to the bath. We had dinner at the restaurant which was good and very reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and helpful. In the hallway and from outside it's visible that everything is a bit older already, but that didn't bother us, the room and bath are well maintained and renovated I assume.

The room was huge and comfortable, and I really liked the balcony and gigantic bath room. I didn't have my dog with me but I'm sure he would have loved it.

The staff were very friendly. It had a tub where you could sit and watch the sea. The bed was big and comfortable and there is a great Italian restaurant about a half kilometer away. It’s a love hotel but most hotels are even if they don’t advertise it.

A stunning property with incredible hospitality - warm, genuine, and highly professional. As is generally the case with smaller Japanese properties outside of the big cities, we did not have to contend with any language barriers. Brett Cox, a member of the staff, is a native English speaker. He made our stay exceptional. Kudos also to the chef for accommodating vegetarians, not an easy feat in Japan. Omotenashi has been perfected by the Setouchi Retreat. Well done.
