Kawawa Station × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

And then there is the cuisine—something I look forward to with excitement every time. It captures the season perfectly and delights both the eyes and the palate. February means Setsubun: a demon mask made from carrot, a club made from burdock root, an Otafuku face made from quail

I visited Genjikoh in Minamichita for the first time to relax in the Onsen. From the warm welcome, we enjoyed chatting about a small connection we had in common, and both the delicious meals and kind service left me completely satisfied. The Onsen was wonderful not only for its water quality, but also for the beautiful view from the open-air bath, allowing me to truly unwind. Thank you very much. There was just one disappointing point. After dinner the previous evening, I was told that checkout might be crowded the next day and that it would be convenient to settle all payments that night, so I did. However, at checkout I was asked to pay again, and I had to present my Receipt myself. That left me feeling disappointed at the very end. Aside from that matter, my stay was truly comfortable. Thank you very much.

I chose this accommodation to relax and enjoy the sunset, and it exceeded my expectations. I was able to soak in the open-air bath while perfectly admiring the sunset, just as I had hoped. With all rooms offering ocean views, I had a very comfortable and pleasant time. The

It was a very nice Ryokan. The meals were delicious, both dinner and breakfast. The Room was also wonderful—a spacious 24-tatami Room with an ocean view. The non-alcoholic plum aperitif was so good that I bought some at the shop. The private open-air bath was spacious, and I was very satisfied! This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again if I have the chance.

I chose this ryokan in Chita because I wanted to enjoy fugu, and their fugu dishes were introduced on the site. My room was upgraded, and during this season, I could see both the sunrise and sunset from the room, making it a truly wonderful experience (I uploaded photos of the sunrise and sunset). Yesterday, there were reportedly over 100 guests staying here, but today it was just us. We had the luxury of enjoying the onsen all to ourselves. I imagine yesterday must have been extremely busy for the staff like a "battle," so we felt grateful yet slightly apologetic for being able to enjoy such a calm atmosphere today. The hostess was very friendly and chatted with us during mealtime, allowing us to relax and have an enjoyable time. The onsen features a unique "stone bath" design where water flows beneath stones, creating a serene bathing experience. The indoor bath is slightly hotter while the open-air bath has just the right temperature—perfect for those who prefer either hot or milder baths. Personally, I loved the temperature of the open-air bath; it was perfect for me! The natural fugu we came here for was absolutely delicious as well. Overall, this accommodation offers a relaxing stay with plenty of time to unwind at your own pace!

This was our third stay. For dinner, we chose the Local Bounty Kaiseki Plan with a large fried shrimp. Now we only have the Chita Peninsula and Ise Bay Bounty Plan left to try, and we would definitely like to choose it next time. We were able to relax again this time. Thank you very much.

This accommodation offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you can enjoy a nostalgic "Showa-style" gathering, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements of the hostess. Relax in the soothing Onsen, savor delicious meals, and experience heartfelt hospitality from the attentive staff. The scent of incense fills the facility, creating a serene ambiance. However, one point to note is that smoking areas seem slightly behind modern standards of separation. It would be wonderful if non-smokers could also enjoy their stay more comfortably in this lovely accommodation.

The whole sea bream sashimi platter was delicious. The fried oysters were larger than last time, very satisfying, and tasty. It was a shame there was no splendid alfonsino. We’ll be back again.

Stayed on April 17 The staff were kind and welcoming, and we were able to spend a relaxing time. The Onsen was very pleasant, and the food was delicious. Thanks to the high-quality ingredients and the skilled chef, we were very satisfied.

They accommodated our requests from the Reservation stage. On the day, it snowed and using the private open-air bath seemed difficult, but the staff never gave up until the end. Miraculously, the weather cleared and we were able to bathe, and I was truly moved by the beautiful scenery. The food was also delicious—I honestly wished I could have eaten more (haha). The staff were very warm and kind as well. Our Room was on the 5th floor, and from the bed we could see both the sea and sky—it was stunning and so relaxing. The large public bath was a little cold, but I really appreciated that the hair dryer was a ReFa, and it was also great to have a speaker in the Room so we could listen to music! I would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed at Sorabase for a family trip on 8/25 and 8/26. It was our first glamping experience, and everything exceeded our expectations. We felt that every detail, including the amenities, was thoughtfully considered. The ocean is right in front of you, and the onsen is just a short walk away. We had a wonderful time with our family. Our children are already asking to stay again, so we look forward to making another reservation next time!

A beautiful accommodation with a white-themed building that contrasts perfectly with the blue of the sky and sea, creating a wonderful atmosphere! The living room has windows that can be fully opened, offering a very spacious and extraordinary experience. The room was also very clean, giving the impression that every corner was thoroughly cleaned. All ingredients were prepared in the refrigerator, and it operates on a self-cooking system. This is highly recommended for those who prefer minimal interaction with staff. A spacious kitchen along with plenty of cooking utensils and cutlery are provided. From the second floor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the sea; watching the sunset while listening to the sound of waves made for peaceful moments. The nighttime lighting was also stunning! I would definitely love to stay here again!

I’ve been coming every summer for the past couple of years, and this time I made a Reservation because I wanted to visit in winter too. I love that they offer the same menu as in summer, including vegetables and fresh raw vegetables. The sea is cold, but being able to have a campfire makes it amazing. I’ll definitely keep coming back. I gave 4 stars only because there were a few spots with some dust, which was a slight minus.

We stayed as a family of four in a Room with an open-air bath. The bath is not an Onsen, but being able to soak and relax at any time was exactly what we wanted, so choosing this Room was the right decision! The changing area has air conditioning, so it was nice not having to change clothes in the cold. The Room was spacious and came with a ReFa hair dryer. Guests staying on the top floor can also borrow a ReFa hair iron at the front desk, which was a wonderful service. We also went to the large public bath, and this one is an Onsen—warm and soothing for a long time! Dinner was delicious across the board, and there was plenty of food, so we were completely full and very satisfied! The spiny lobster sashimi platter was especially impressive. Breakfast was great too—the dried fish was very tasty and went perfectly with rice! The attendants spoke to us in a friendly way, and everyone was kind, which made us very happy. If you drink alcohol: you can order it at dinner, but for drinking in your Room you’ll need to buy from the shop inside the property. The selection is limited, so I recommend buying what you want at a convenience store beforehand and bringing it with you. There’s only tea that you make yourself in the Room, so I think it would have been even better if bottled water had been provided. It’s a Ryokan we’d love to visit again as a family. Thank you very much.

We truly enjoyed time passing slowly and peacefully. Last time we had breakfast only, but this time we also had dinner; we were surprised by how much there was, but everything was delicious. Thank you very much. I don’t know when it will be next time, but when our family can all

This was our second visit to this glamping site. Being able to enjoy glamping with no preparation and light luggage is a huge plus for those without camping experience, and the Facility felt clean overall, making it a place where both children and adults can stay with peace of mind. Each dome Room has its own concept; the color schemes were beautiful and the amenities were well equipped. Mini fridge, electric kettle, instant coffee/tea/green tea, air conditioning/heating, plug-in insect repellent, Bluetooth speaker, outlets with USB ports, blankets, hanging rack, an external toilet & shower Room (strong water pressure in the shower with adjustable temperature; toilet with bidet), BBQ space, and more. We chose the Plan that includes dinner and breakfast. Everything was extremely delicious—and there was plenty of food. At night (depending on the weather) there may be a campfire as well, which really added to the camping vibe. For future improvements, I’d love to see more activity options such as bamboo-copter or cup-making using bamboo; an athletic play area; seasonal events like fireworks or water-gun games; snowball fights or roasted sweet potatoes; or hands-on experiences like working in nearby rice fields or vegetable gardens. There is also a simple lookout platform in the bamboo grove (I don’t think it was there last year). If the weather and timing are right, you can apparently see the ocean, townscape, and sunset from there. Outdoor voices tend to carry slightly into the domes, so I felt we all need to be mindful at night. The free-drink area was relatively close by and convenient. The ocean is nearby as well—an ideal place if you simply want to relax. They also lend out badminton sets plus board games and card games for free. We’d love to come again.

This is my sixth repeat visit. It was my first time having breakfast and dinner, and the Hida beef steak for dinner was extremely delicious. I was able to make a Reservation for a private open-air bath and enjoyed a relaxing soak. Thank you very much.

Dinner was an all-you-can-eat sukiyaki, and I was amazed by the incredibly tender and delicious meat. Breakfast included a variety of side dishes that went perfectly with unlimited rice, plus grilled meat in the morning! However, the site did not mention that dinner would include crab and sashimi platters or that breakfast offered unlimited shirasu (whitebait) and eggs. Even considering those points, the meals were absolutely fantastic. Additionally, during both breakfast and dinner, there were 2L bottles of juice available for unlimited refills (hot coffee and tea were also provided). Of course, the bath was amazing too. Unlike some reviews mentioning private baths being too hot, it was at a perfect temperature where you could comfortably soak for 30 minutes!

I stayed here for the first time on a business trip. The owner’s friendly, approachable vibe really sets the tone for this Hotel. There was a little dust on the table in the Room, though. The shower room seemed newly renovated and had a modern setup. Breakfast was excellent—the whitebait rice bowl came with a generous heap of whitebait. I’d definitely like to stay here again on my next business trip.

I booked a plan that included dinner. The room was just the right size for spending time with my family. The shower room in the room felt a bit small, but there were no issues using it. Dinner was excellent, with plenty of seafood to enjoy. There was so much food that we couldn't finish it all... We felt sorry about that. Overall, we were very satisfied. Thank you very much!
