What the hotel says about its baths
和室、和洋室、和モダンの3タイプと、別荘スタイルの2棟がそろい、どのお部屋もオーシャンビューが自慢の露天風呂付です
The operator’s own wording.
The bath
Each room’s open-air bath runs on free-flowing spring water around the clock, drawn from the Miyuki source, and the ryokan says nothing is artificial. Most tubs are cypress and face the ocean. The two detached villas add an indoor cypress bath to the open-air one.
The hotel
Twenty-four rooms on high ground: twenty Japanese rooms of ten tatami mats, two Japanese-Western twins and two villas. Check-in is 3 to 6 p.m. and checkout is 11 a.m. A bathing tax of ¥150 is added.
Good to know
