Just got back from a trip overseas, including 2 nights at this onsen hotel. We booked a non-smoking ocean view room, with kaiseki breakfast and dinner. We booked a room that could have up to 6 people. We were unprepared for how luxurious this room was! We had a huge tatami room looking over the ocean, very nicely appointed, and a separate room with a couch and massage chair, overlooking the ocean as well. Our bedroom had 2 double sized beds, and there was an extra tatami room that we never used because we were always enjoying the seaside room. The downstairs has a lovely covered porch where barbeque dinners are held, and the resort gives daily yukata changes with belts. They were so comfortable and nice! And the onsen was amazing, there are two side (mens, womens), and they both overlook the sea. We sat and watched a spectacular sunset during our stay.
The kaiseki meals were fabulous!!! I kept worrying that we were going to have a humongous bill because there were 9-11 courses, and during the dinner we had a private dining room. I suppose this might have been part of the price of our room. The breakfasts were no different--excellent!
I have to say that I am often wary/suspicious of the kinds of photos that you might see online that exaggerate aspects of a place. I was prepared to have a nice stay, but had no idea that it would be above and beyond. The Japanese friends with us were just as impressed as we were. Service was exceptional in every way!
