"昭和を体感できる旅館です。 建築物の風情が、もうなかなか見ることのできない映画に出てきそうな作りで、古い建造物の寝泊まりに抵抗のないマニアな方にはたまらないと思います。 海に面した立地で、海面に近い作りなので天気の良い日は素晴らしい景色を満喫できます。 温泉も硫黄の香りを漂わせる、THE温泉。 湯船からも海面を一望できます。 朝食も夕食も魚を中心とした懐石風和食。 遊佐の知人の話では、地元の寄り合いなどでも宴会場として使われるそうです。 浴衣の帯も最近の旅館でよく見かける短いものではなく、大柄な私や外国人でもゆったり巻ける昔ながらの帯の長さです。 布団も昔を感じさせるせんべい布団。 ..."

"Loved the place, and would like to return with the family. Well renovated and comfy on the inside, the outside might do with another coat of paint. Easy and friendly check-in/check-out, and at breakfast. Did not have time to enjoy any of the amenities - next time!"

"ゲームコーナーや、リビングルームの大きなテレビに子供たちは大満足でした。 キッチンの設備もほぼなんでも揃っていました。 夜中、暴風雨の音と幹線道路を通るトラックの音が気になりましたが、子供たちはぐっすり眠れたようです。17時以降は周辺のお店はほぼ閉まってしまうし、コンビニが近くにないので、手前の町で買い物を済ませておかないと困ってしまうロケーションです。オーナーさんとは顔を合わせませんでしたが、とても親切なご案内メールをいただきました。海が近くて綺麗な夕陽が思い出になりましま。"
