An incredible stay and experience from checkin to check out. The staff is incredibly attentive and professional, explaining everything in detail while giving you a nice fresh cup of green tea with a matcha brûlée to top it off. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the in room dining experience was well worth the cost. The onsen in the room was such a great touch and the rooms are overlooking the ocean so you can relax and stare at the waves and mountains for hours.

We highly recommend Shin Kaikate Izume to both Japanese...

We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel too, in a semi-private room. The restaurant is quiet, and you can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, while being served with care and attention. The food is great, with first quality, fresh ingredients, cooked and presented to perfection. They prepared a special cake with candles and a happy birthday...
