Shinyu No Yado Sazana

Very nice staff.we went there in July and took the private onsen and it was too hot so couldn’t enjoy it 😂

非常驚艷，早餐簡直太豐盛啦！酒店湯池幾乎沒有人。只是小孩入住這家，會要求加收費用，所以如果帶小孩要提前與酒店溝通好。總之，住宿環境真的很好，全日式風格，映像深刻的一晚！攜程網還是挺給力，處理售後很滿意👍！

酒店面向大海環境清幽，周邊好多夜市可以有食物供應，我哋好夜先度，仲有好多夜店可以提供食肆.早餐極豐富同華麗令人意想不到

I stayed at the Asian Taste Twin room with an outdoor bath (アジアンテイストツイン・露天風呂付客室). For all the room's amenities, I think it was relatively affordable. There was enough space in the room for luggage. There were 2 chairs and a table by the window with a nice view of the sea. There was a closet which provided pajamas and indoor wear. There was a refrigerator, a hot water kettle, and a capsule coffee machine (it was my first time staying at a ryokan/hotel in Japan with one). My favorite part of the room was the outdoor bath, which was nice to soak in while looking at the sea and hearing the waves crash through the shore. The shower area is the Japanese style one where you have to sit down in front of the faucet. Both the shower area and the bath feels like you are visible from the outside, but the room is well-covered and it is pretty high up, no need to worry. The room was cool enough (even in the summer), and the beds were comfortable, so I really had a nice sleep. I also recommend taking advantage of the public bath in their sister hotel (Yoyoen/Yuyuen) right across the street. It is free as long as you are staying at Shinyu no Yado Sazana. Their open outdoor bath on the 5th floor with an infinity pool-like view of the sea and the horizon was spectacular. I wish I could have stayed soaking in it for longer, if there wasn't any danger of overheating. I believe you can keep coming back to it anytime, but as with any public bath in Japan, there is a schedule whether the bath is men-only or female-only, so check with the front desk beforehand. I was lucky that when I checked-in at 2pm, it was men-only from 3pm-9pm, so perfect timing. For food, I opted for the room-only reservation, because I like walking around to explore and eat out. This time I regret that decision because there weren't that much restaurants or places to eat around the area, apart from a convenience store, a McDonald's, and 1 local restaurant that was open (but it had limited menu and it did close early). It might be bad timing because it was during Obon period, so a lot of businesses go on holiday. I recommend making sure you either have your own food or just opt-in for the breakfast/dinner course at the hotel. For activities, there is nothing much to do around the area. There is a Sea Garden Ikeriji a couple of steps away, but it's mostly rocks, and I think it's more targeted towards kids. There is no actual beach. I think the area is really meant for you to just soak in the onsen and relax at your hotel/ryokan. The staff were friendly and accomodating. Even though I didn't request to use the shuttle back to the station, they offered it to me and drove me back even if I was the only one in the shuttle. Also, make sure to inform them if you are going out at night or in the early morning, so they can bring your shoes out.
