This hotel is a mixed bag, but unfortunately leans more negative. For the positive, the onsen had a gorgeous view; the staff was excellent, kind and helpful; they offer an insanely useful free shuttle service to the main station, and it’s at a great location being beachside. For the negatives, the entire hotel and rooms had a horrendous musty smell that smelled like wet walls and flooring. This smell never went away either (raining or not). On top of this, there were MANY leak stains on the walls, roofs and closets throughout the hotel and our room. It started to rain when we stayed and I could already hear another leak near our balcony window with accompanying dark spots on the roof where the sound was. It is an understatement to say that it’s run down and in need of heavy renovations and care. Last little negative was the pool was dried out and unfilled, and there were small stains on our futon mattress (thankfully the sheets covered it up). I really hope it gets it too because this hotel has so much potential with

most beautiful ocean around this area.

It was beautiful stay at the yamatokan. The view from our room was so awesome. We didn’t order for the meals but we could enjoy all of our stay. There are a lot of things to see around this area if you like to enjoy the ocean. Surfing, fishing, kayaking, diving, etc...

海好きには最高

まずオーシャンフロントですので眺めが抜群です。 部屋により芝やウッドデッキの庭があり、そこでの海上がりビールは最高でした。 私たちは部屋風呂付きではなかったのですが、屋上の露天風呂では昼夕は海が眺められ、夜は月見でのんびり過ごせました。 建物は古いのですが、食堂や広い部屋の所々はリノベーションされているので特に問題なかったです。 食事は量は多くはありませんが、品数が多くどれも満足のいく味付けでした。ただドリンク類は少々お高めです。 スタッフの方々は親切丁寧な応対で気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。 そして最大のポイントが、チェックアウト後にも駐車場、温水シャワーや更衣室、トイレ等々、時間は決まっていますが風呂も使え、サーファーや海遊びにこれ以上は無いと思います。
