Business Ryokan Umezaki

I tried breakfast once, with both Japanese and Western options, and it was really nice for this kind of hotel. I stayed in a lovely apartment in the annex, with its own entrance, a small kitchen, AC, washing machine (100 yen per wash), and a little balcony. It’s newly built and still feels fresh. For a hotel in rural Japan, it’s quite nice.

There’s a supermarket right beside the hotel, and the lawn is a nice place to spend an evening. The rooms are small, but clean and tidy. It’s peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep, and it serves its purpose for people visiting the shipyard, which is nearby. Getting to the nearest city takes at least 30 minutes, though. I would’ve liked better breakfast choices. Everyday items like coffee and toothbrushes aren’t in the rooms, so you have to pick them up in the hotel lobby.

The food was so good, I hope I can keep eating it for the rest of my life. Everyone was welcoming, and the place stayed clean throughout my visit.

I was so grateful they could find me a room on such short notice. The staff were really welcoming, helpful, and accommodating.
