Very spacious rooms with a big living space and a great view of Ito bay. The onsens were very nice also and the dinner and breakfast were of top quality. The hosts were very nice also and they picked us up from the station to the hotel and back when we left.

Rooms are of light material and not so sound-proof. Also the hostel is on a hill as other reviews say, but if hosts pick you up from and to the station it's very convenient and going down by walking without luggage is very easy.

The food course is well prepared , especially the dinner. It will cost a lot if you want to have the same food in restaurants. Strongly recommended if you like delicate fish and enjoy the sea view.

As other comments mentioned, there are many steps and the facilities cannot compare to fancy hotels, but I think it’s okay since the price is not expensive and the foods deserve. If you are very picky with the decoration and facilities and don’t care about the price, you’d better choose the other one. For foreign visitors, it has the essentials things such as the spring and sea view, which I enjoyed a lot. However, if you want so stay for a long time, it maybe a little inconvenient. One or two days would be best for the hotel

It was a very good japanese breakfast, very filling! We loved the outdoor onsen and the beautiful view over the city and bay. The owners were very helpful, giving us a lift to the station when we left.

Lighting by the bedside could have been better, but otherwise the room was very comfortable.

We loved the amazing view, the private outdoors onsen and Japanese style breakfast. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were really friendly. 15min walk from Ito Orange beach, although the hill is quite steep, a car or taxi is better to get to the hotel.

The windows didn't have dark curtains, it was hard to stay asleep especially in July were the sunrise is at 4am. The isolation of the room was not so good, we could hear people above us walking which was also a problem for sleeping.

Excellent food and service

There are many steps

Onsen, view, food, service

Nothing

I was lucky to get the front corner room on the top floor with a wonderful view over Ito city & the bay, room is large with 2 semi-double beds, very comfy but simply appointed. The outside onsen feels like a birds nest, with a view over the bay & the sea. The property is small with only 4 rooms.

Dining room (and access stairs) need renovation so do the 2 little onsen baths. There are only 2 onsen baths & 4 rooms. Once a guest gets into one of the 2 onsen they lock the door... so you might have to wait outside for one hour until one of the baths becomes free.
