Osatsu Pacific Hotel

建物は大部古い印象です。ただ展望テラスがあって海を眺められたのが良かった。季節的のは春でなくて夏場、海水浴にはもってこいの場所にあります。部屋はもう少し豪華さが欲しいし、難点は、枕が小さくて硬く眠れなかった。もう少し枕にも配慮してほしい。料理はすこし期待外れ、鮑をオプションで注文したが、まずまずの鮮度。ただし、もう少し地元の新鮮な海鮮料理を期待していた。 多分コロナでお客様が減ったことで経営も厳しいのでは・・・リーズナブルではあると思います。

We (my wife and I) reserved a room here because most other hotels/ryokans in the Toba area were booked. After reading the reviews prior to our stay, I was ready to be disappointed. The hotel is a bit old, but the staff was courteous and we had enjoyable conversations with them during breakfast and dinner. The food was quite good, delightfully presented and satisfying, maybe not the best I have had at Japanese ryokans, but I enjoyed every meal. The room showed the age of the hotel, but my futon was very comfortable and I slept soundly to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach nearby. Osatsu is a relaxing location. It has a small but interesting Ama museum detailing the history of the Ama women who dive for shellfish in the sea around Toba. We met two Ama women at their hut on the sea. There are a couple of coffee houses that we visited and a Shinto shrine dedicated to the women. Also we took seaside walks and toured Osatsu's small fishing port. Overall a relaxing two days at a hotel that I felt was much better than describe in previous reviews.
