The first thing I thought when I arrived was that the receptionist at the Japanese-style hotel welcomed me in a kimono. After checking in, take off your shoes.A hotel where you can walk barefoot. I felt very comfortable. Book a spacious room. (Accommodates 4 people) When you first arrive at the room, you will find a toilet, bath, washbasin, mirror, closet, and a clean room like a regular hotel. Bedding was prepared.In addition, there was a washing area in the room, and a refrigerator, water, and welcome fleurs were prepared under it.Men entered the bath with a card and women entered with a PIN. I took a bath very comfortably. After the bath, there were services such as mini ice cream and candy ice cream. I asked about dinner at the reception, and walked along Mizuki Road while looking at the map of the hotel** and went to the dining area.I was very kindly guided.At night, there was yonaki soba, but I couldn't eat it because I was full. Let's eat next time. I had a seafood bowl for breakfast, and the side dishes were very delicious. it's the best.In the morning, I took a walk from end to end on Mizuki Road, which I could only go halfway through at night.The rich and relaxing Japanese-style room, and the delicious breakfast is the best hotel. If I go to Sakaiminato, I want to stay at this...

The requirement to remove shoes and walk around the hotel, including your room and the restaurant, in either socks or bare feet is at first novel but Westerners may find the novelty quickly wears off.It would be more acceptable if the tatami mats were not made of plastic (plastami mats?) For instance the process of going to the reception desk is tedious. Guests have to go from their room in bare feet or wear their socks - the 'Big-toe' socks provided by the hotel are far too small for the average Westerners feet - once in the reception area you must retrieve your shoes from the provided lockers - or risk breaking your ankles on stilt-like sandals - put on your shoes without touching the mats walk across to the desk to make your inquiry or hand in your laundry, and then repeat the process to get back to your room. The rooms are of an adequate size and very clean. Breakfast is fine with both Japanese and Western dishes - if you use a knife and fork, (which we carry with us in Japan!!) be prepared for curious looks and possibly a surreptitious photo - all very friendly though.The staff are extremely helpful and language is no problem. This hotel is to be recommended for a couple of nights to explore the delights of...
Read moreThe hotel is across from Sakaiminato JR station, about a 50min (cute) train ride from Yonago. The area has one of the largest ports known for snow crabs and all sorts of fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan. Visitors enjoy the crab markets in the area and seafood restaurants on a street with the theme of comic creatures by Muzuki Shigeru, a famous cartoonist from the area. ||This hotel itself was amazing. It was spotless, and every details from Ikebana flower arrangement to comfortable room with all sorts of amenities made us feel welcome. For foreign travelers they had a handout in English explaining their system. This enabled the foreign guests take full advantage of what the hotel offered. ||The top floor had natural Onsen hot spring baths with water so soothing to the skin. All necessary amenities were prepared by the hotel. ||The breakfast was known for create-yourself-Chirashi sushi and all the spread at the buffet with Japanese and western foods. Again the seafood here was so fresh. ||What made this hotel so special was the staff. Their hospitality was genuine, and showed they care. They made us feel like we came back to a home away from home.||Definitely worth...
