"If you are staying more than 2 days get a rental car. The hotel is very good at what it does, which is provide a relaxing atmosphere with an accessible onsen. The restaurants there are not really restaurants. Breakfast is a buffet of plentiful food, mostly Japanese but I believe a pure westerner could survive. There is no lunch service. The dinner is a set menu of classical Japanese fare, which after the second day becomes a bit tiresome, but doable. They also offered a bonus meal at 9pm of noodles and such. There is a modest happy hour from about 3pm to 8:30 pm which provides a variety of booze and snacks. Staff speaks no English, so be prepared for that, but they are very friendly. My Japanese is passable so I was able to get assistance from the staff to get a rental car and reserve taxis, etc. There is no laundry service and if you have a tattoo you mus cover it while in the onsen. I checked at other hotels with onsens and most don't allow tattoos at all. The location is up on a little hill away from anything walking distance. There is no safe walking path of significant length around the hotel that is not on a narrow road, so don't count on any walks. There is a tennis court but other than that not any place to get cardio. But if you are coming here you are not coming for that. I am including in the description so the reader knows what is there. I would come again for sure. "

"Great place for a relaxing stay in Choshi. Free breakfast, nice public bath, and free bike rental plus very kind staff "

"Supreme view on the sea and nearby lighthouse - very scenic, makes it difficult to leave the great rooms. Friendly and accommodating staff, very manageable even as foreigner. Takes a bit to get there, but definitely worthwhile for a few days."

"Very convenient, big room and staff very helpful."

"You can’t beat the location, just next door to the train station and a 10-minute walk to the historic merchant town. Room was more spacious than most. Dinner was excellent. Lots of choices for breakfast. Small but lovely onsen. Helpful and welcoming staff. Highly recommend."

"Staff was great! We needed to arrange an early morning taxi, and they were very helpful"

"Very old and dirty rooms. Bed bugs in the bed. Whole night it felt that something is biting your back."

"First 日本語 hotel I have ever been to and it was a great two nights booked!"

"It's quite peaceful around the hotel, such that I couldn't find my fingers from darkness. Almost noboby was found on high streets, either. On arrival, there was a strange smell wafting all over the place. It's like a mix of mould and bleach. It might be because due to moulds between the bathtubs and the bathroom walls of every room, and the hotel staffs were trying to get rid of them using bleach. Simply turn on ventilation and the strange smell could be gone in hours. Be prepared for a walking distance of around 10min to get you to the nearest corner shop or groceries."
