Kashikojima Hojoen

This is a traditional, large-scale hot spring ryokan. I've been to many hot spring ryokans, and most of them felt deserted with few staff and many foreign guests. However, this ryokan had plenty of staff, and they were very attentive with both greetings and farewells. The baths were spacious, and the changing rooms were cleaned frequently. The unlimited use of bath towels was a fantastic service for us, as we love to soak multiple times. The view from our room, with the calm sea and beautiful sunset, was absolutely stunning. The meal service system was new to us and a bit confusing at first, but it turned out to be very convenient for our family, as we all eat different amounts. Finally, I must mention that we stayed here about 15 years ago when my late father was battling an illness. Being able to come back with my now-grown children and reminisce about those memories was truly special. The ryokan is just as wonderful now as it was then. Thank you for everything. The ryokan is very large and even has a bowling alley, which our children thoroughly enjoyed.

This is an older onsen ryokan with nice views. Both the dinner and breakfast were buffet style, and the quality was quite mediocre. It would have been better to just opt for breakfast and then order a set meal at their restaurant for dinner, as the menu prices didn't seem too expensive. In the evening, I noticed a large clump of feces stuck to the spray nozzle of the bidet in the room... I later had to contact Ctrip customer service to help arrange for hotel staff to come and clean it.
