Taiheian

We got the 7,000 yen and 9,000 yen dinner courses at a discount, but I'd happily have paid full price. The sashimi was some of the freshest I've had, and every dish was delicious. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place.

The location was great, close to the station and right by the beach. The building is old, but it seems to have been renovated, and the inside was clean and well looked after. Everyone on staff was friendly and made time to greet and chat with me, even when busy. The food was delicious and there was plenty to choose from. The hot spring water was a little salty, but even with my atopic dermatitis I was comfortable soaking in it. I stayed four stars because the public transit from Fukui Station is a single-car train, so you might not get a seat. The photo is of breakfast. I definitely think I'll visit this inn again on my next trip to Fukui!

The inn had a lot of thoughtful touches. It was meticulously clean, with a large manga shelf, a choice of yukata robes, plenty of shampoo and conditioner options, and a picture book shelf in the room. I was also happy to find roll cakes in the fridge. The hot spring was a bit lukewarm, which seems just right for small children, and the place could be a good fit for small groups wanting a quiet, restful stay if the atmosphere suits them. For me, though, the service didn't feel very welcoming. We had to be the ones to greet people first, and the mood felt a little heavy. At times I felt like we weren't wanted, which left me somewhat tired. Since I was with children, I also felt a bit nervous about their voices, so I wouldn't recommend it to people sensitive to noise.
