far from local station; shuttle times not often
Expect great Japanese hospitality. Room was spacious. Two bed option was great for traveling friends. Had seating area with table and amazing view from room. Did not have access path to beach. The shuttle was infrequent and had to be reserved the day prior before 5 pm. The hotel is about a 10 minute ride from the Minabe station and in 2019 cost 1780 JPY. The pool is open starting in July, so although it was a resort, there was no swimming option. Overall, reasonable option with great view if that’s what you’re looking for.
