10/10 Excellent
"Un magnifique hôtel avec vue directe sur l'océan et le bruit des vagues pour s'endormir. Le personnel en place était aux petits soins avec nous. L'hôtel est très bien situé, tout juste en face d'un sentier qui permet d'accéder à différents parc, tout en longeant la plage (attention, certaines plages ne sont pas toutes propres, mais celle devant l'hôtel est impeccable). Nous avons aussi longé un sentier boisé dans l'un des parcs et y avons croisé un cerf. Bref, un endroit parfait pour aller se promener ou profiter de l'océan et ensuite relaxer sur son balcon en contemplant la mer. Il y a aussi 2 restaurants à moins de 30 secondes de marche; un restaurant de nouilles et un restaurant Italien (que j'ai adoré, la nourriture y est délicieuse) qui sert aussi des plats locaux. Les gens sur place sont très prévenants, s'assurent que nous ne manquons de rien et vont au delà de nos attentes. Des vélos et du matériel de plage sont aussi mis à notre disposition. Ce fût clairement notre coup de coeur au Japon"
