Jukaitei

Shouhaiting Hotel offers elegant and comfortable accommodation, especially for adult guests. Each room offers stunning views of the Japanese Sea and a bathtub for relaxation. In terms of catering, the fresh seafood and local specialties are even more amazing.

When booking a one-night, two-dinner dinner, the meal items (or meal labels) were not specified. Fortunately, there were Chinese-speaking reception staff on site to assist! The renovated Japanese restaurant is small, beautiful, exquisite and comfortable. Seasonal fish, local specialties snail dishes and wagyu beef barbecue are all carefully prepared and perfectly presented by the chefs. There is only one cafe and landscaping platform nearby where you can watch the sunset!

We had a full course of crab dishes, including over 200,000 yen worth of Taiza crab for two people, which was very delicious, but the staff were all foreign, and the explanations were in a foreign accent, which half the atmosphere was lost, which was a bit sad. We stayed in the best room on the third floor, but we did not feel any hospitality or warmth that you would expect from a ryokan. I understand the recent cost-cutting measures, but it felt like they had cut costs too much and had not thought about the comfort of the guests. It has been said since ancient times that a ryokan is determined by its female owner, but I think there are many ways to improve the soft aspects. On the morning of our check-out, we were the only group there, and it was only five or six steps to the front door, but the female owner, who was there, did not even say a final goodbye. We will never go again, but for the sake of future guests, I hope they will study more about how the ryokan business should be and welcome them with sincerity.

Visited in November in search of the first Thai crab. The view of the sea from your room is wonderful. It's a pity that the bath is not a hot spring, but the sea from the bath is also a superb view. Before dinner, he brought live crabs for dinner to the room and had a photo time. There are many foreigners working here, but they are very good at speaking Japanese and enthusiastic. When you go outside after dinner, the sky is full of stars. It was the Milky Way over the Sea of Japan. The private road (?) leading from the general road to the inn has a steep uphill slope and sharp turns, so be careful. From this inn, the view of the seaside road leading to Funaya is amazing! It's worth a look, but there are many sharp curves and the road isn't wide, so it's recommended for confident drivers. Next time I want to go to eat sea urchin and oysters.
