The owner was very kind and flexible. The rooms are Japanese style and the option to have a private open-air bath is phenomenal. The price is very reasonable. The beach is a 10-minute walk, so very convenient.

Czech RepublicThe staff member was kind to host us. I could enjoy a small size Onsen (There are two types and they are perfect for single or small group). Breakfast was really delicious to try (Fresh Japanese style food including Kinmedai fish). The room was clean and quiet. The staff member kindly accepted late check in as the arrival time was after the official check in time. After check out, the staff member dropped us to Kawazu station (Closest station at the accommodation is Imaihama Kaigan station and it is 1 stop away from Kawazu, fYI.) so we could save time to visit places.

Japan夕食や朝食の食事が素晴らしかったです。夕食は部屋食で懐石料理の様に順番に料理を味わいます。一品、一品を味わいながら楽しめました。量も丁度いい感じです。美味しいものを少しずつ堪能できます。刺身の盛り合わせの中の鯵を唐揚げにした一品は特に美味でした。パリパリした感じでもう一回食べてみたいです。朝食は1Fの広間で食べますが、こちらも美味しかったです。お風呂も24時間対応で2つの鍵を掛けられる貸し切りタイプ、他の方の使用中は1F・2Fにランプが点灯する形になっており、利用者側が無駄足をしない形になっています。スタッフの方々もgoodでした。また再訪したい宿になりました。

Japan今井浜海岸駅から徒歩5分程度で利便性が良いです(坂を上る形ですが)。電車の旅にはオススメです。今井浜海岸までもお散歩コースで行ける距離です。 何より、スタッフの方のフレンドリーさと、2つの異なる温泉に24時間入れる点が大変ありがたかったです。 温泉好きな私は1泊のうちに3回も入ってしまいました(夜、深夜、早朝)。 また、素泊まりではもったいないです、出来れば2食、少なくとも朝食だけは依頼された方が良いと思いました。今まで購入したことのない温泉あるある試供版モイスチャローションボトル(アロエ)を買ってしまったくらい気分が良かったです。

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more
-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
