This is a hidden gem that I literally stumbled upon. This area is famous for agriculture so the food was sourced locally and amazing. The staff is international so even if you don't speak much Japanese you will be fine. It is peaceful and fun to walk around the area. We even met a young tomato and melon farmer who showed us his greenhouse. It was like staying in a ancient Japanese palace in a very local village. The price was so worth it and the cafe and various places to use my PC made this...

If you like Japan this hotel should be on your bucket list. Located right on the beach in Minamichita and within walking distance to several nice restaurants. Our room had a spectacular sea view. We had dinner at the Seaside Capri restaurant next door. The waiter had an Ipad with a picture menu for us. Being a typical Japanese Ryokan you change into a yukata. (The yukata is a casual version of the kimono.)
After dinner we went to the 3rd floor where there are 2 first come first serve hot...

Staff was great, the room was spacey and nicely furniture, including a sofa and a desk. You can tell the hotel is not new at all, but the bathroom was very modern and super clean, water pressure was very strong.
All in all a great stay. Would definitely recommend or stay again if the opportunity arises.

If you are staying in Toyohashi, this motel is great. The rooms were a nice size and clean. The only issue I had was with the pillows...so hard. Breakfast was great! Staff was amazing!
