Hotel Ambia Shofukaku

This was my second stay. This time I used the Hotel while visiting Kunozan Toshogu Shrine.I returned because my previous stay was so satisfying.The Room was spacious, with the Pacific Ocean right in front of me and Mt. Fuji visible slightly to the left. The bed, pillows, and bedding were excellent.The toilet and washbasin were separate, which made it very convenient.It’s a small detail, but I could tell they chose soft, high-quality toilet paper.Last time I had a kaiseki course meal, so this time I chose the buffet—and it was absolutely the right choice!Every dish was perfectly seasoned, and I ended up eating too much. There was a great selection of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes.The tempura was freshly fried with a thin, crisp batter—excellent—and they even brought it to my seat. You can choose three items for sashimi as well; everything was exceptionally fresh (the medium fatty tuna was outstanding).The Chinese selection included dim sum such as xiaolongbao—there were so many options it was hard to choose. And for curry lovers, the beef tendon curry is irresistible; this too was fantastic.Breakfast is also buffet-style, and it was great that items like omelets were prepared live.I also appreciated that side dishes were served in small bowls so they were easy to pick up smoothly.And having staff serve rice and miso soup made everything stress-free.For the large public bath, it’s thoughtful that you don’t need to bring towels from your Room.The changing area was thoroughly cleaned down to every corner—truly comfortable.All of the staff were pleasant and provided very welcoming service.I had another wonderful experience at this Hotel that makes me want to come back again.

Although it is a large Hotel, the hospitality was attentive, and the staff’s warm smiles made our stay truly comfortable.The southern bluefin tuna course was plentiful and delicious. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again.
