Recensioni su Hamabeno Ryouriyado Houraikan

Great location overlooking the beach on one side and thickly wooded mountain slopes on the other. Very traditional inn/ hotel but we did have western style beds which were very comfortable. Well equipped bathroom as you find in all Japanese hotels including nightwear. Rooms also have tea and coffee making equipment. Enjoyed the open air Onsen bath where you can breathe in the lovely fresh pine scented air and fully relax. Dinner was traditional Japanese which was beautifully presented and mainly delicious, some dishes could be a bit challenging to those only used to western style food but this is very much part of the experience and you certainly won’t go hungry. Breakfast is also Japanese style and a wide range of tastes and textures, from steamed rice to braised salmon, savoury custard and various pickles. The staff made us feel very welcome.

It is the first time I write a review but in this case I feel I must. I am very enthousiastic about this Inn! The place is wonderful, just in front of the sea. In fact one can hear the sound of the waves while in the hot bath. The food was excellent, the stuff was very friendly and hospitable, the room was very nice. Overall, quality and harmony in everything. Just as an indication, one person from our group could not eat Japanese breakfast but was too shy to ask for a European one. They noticed themselves, apologised and offered something for familiar to him. I recommend the place with all my heart.
