Pension Hana

The private hot spring was very good 👍️. The food seems like the sort of thing that might cost around 30,000 yen a night, and the quality feels worth that price. Just be careful: the grilled salted turban shells, shrimp, and mackerel may not be very fresh. Staff service was okay, neither too close nor too distant. For the value, I'd put it closer to a 3.5.

I was able to relax in a quiet, peaceful hot spring inn, with no other guests audible. The word "pension" might make you a bit nervous about the owner, but I was left alone just enough to enjoy the calm atmosphere. My room faced the ocean, and dinner was a fresh boat-shaped platter of fish with satisfying variety and portions. Dinner arrived exactly at 6pm, and in the morning they contacted me by internal line so breakfast could start right on time at 8am. That made it easy to plan around the baths. The inn also offers a shuttle, and the view and food with the sound of the waves were impeccable. I'd definitely stay again. Some reviews criticize the amenities, but since this is a pension rather than an inn, I think it makes sense for them to be minimal.

The room was just right for several families to have their own space, and there was even a baby changing bed. The inn was relaxing, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and the bath was pleasantly not too hot, so you wanted to stay in it forever. We had to make our own futons, but could lie down as soon as we arrived. It was great having meals in the room, and the boat-shaped sashimi was delicious. I liked that the inn didn't provide excessive service. The tea setup was only tea sticks, teacups, and a kettle with drinking water, so it's a good idea to buy drinks beforehand. There's a small fridge in the room. The ice maker was small, so I was glad I'd bought ice cubes. They drove me to the station in the morning, which was a big help.

The seafood at every meal was fresh from nearby waters, and the sashimi platter was superb. This former resort guesthouse sits on a hill near the Manazuru Toll Road exit, just before Yoshihama Beach. It seems to have parking for about five cars. The tatami rooms are quiet, with private toilets, relaxing views, and the sound of waves. Guests make their own futons. There isn't an open-air bath, but the private hot spring bath is a nice feature. The place isn't especially luxurious, though, and people wanting lots of different experiences may be happier at a modern hotel. It's best to know what this guesthouse offers before choosing it. They accept payment methods other than cash.
