"One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! Great location, convenient walk to the wharf and bus/train station. Meticulously clean, very accommodating and helpful staff , including the owner who drove me to the train station when he noticed I was tired with my heavy luggage. The breakfasts are very substantial, always featuring fresh fish and the bath (ofuro) very clean with perfect water temperature. A great place to rest in a quiet fishing “village” by the water, especially if you’ve climbed...
