Hoto Island Beach Vacations

色々揃っていて便利だし、とても満足しました。

Fully remote/self service. Check in was through a screen. Love the property and amenities. Wish our stay was longer

Very spacious, property is managed remotely. Facilities good with notes: 1) There are both indoor and outdoor onsen. For the uninitiated, Onsen are Japanese natural hot springs, the water comes up from the earth hotter than the tap water and is both clean and free! The pipe down to the earth spring source is quite long, and thus there will be a lot of cooled water and cold pipe between the source and the house. Therefore when turning the Onsen taps on (these are very obviously oversized taps with red handles) you may need to flush out more water than normal - perhaps running it at full blast (with the plug removed) for 15-20 minutes while you bring the hot water up to the surface and heat the pipework. Don’t feel ‘bad’ about doing this - remember, in Japan, the hot onsen water is the free one and it’s the ‘cold’ tap that costs money! 2) You can use a normal boiler-powered shower which is next to the onsen and this, and any silver colored basin taps will heat up this way which is much quicker though less ‘natural’. The shower room in the rear property is at the back accessed via the kitchen/lounge. 3) there is a pre registration process you can follow in English (from a link in a message sent in Japanese - just go to the link) 4) the process of getting keys is a little technical but remember both lock box codes - particularly the four digit one for the smaller box 5) area is full of obvious ‘soaplands’ - you may want to check what these are eg if planning a family trip

We were blown away by how beautiful the hotel was, by the helpfulness of the staff, the quality of the amenities, and the overall aesthetics. A whole new level of experience.

The property is managed by a management company, and unfortunately, we did not feel very welcome during our stay, as there were several restrictions on the use of certain amenities. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The most disappointing aspect was the limited provision of essential items. For example, as a group of 11 staying for four nights, we were only provided with two rolls of toilet tissue per toilet (there are two toilets in the property), and no additional garbage bags were supplied. The host advised us to purchase these items ourselves if needed. I did not expect to have to buy basic necessities like toilet tissue while traveling, but this was the case during our stay.

施設内の温泉の有無を事前に質問したが回答は無しと返答されたが現地には温泉が使える設備があった。
