Beachfront Hotels Hatsukaichi

A first rate Japanese experience complete with robes, slippers, hot mineral baths, traditional Japanese breakfast, slipping on the floor mats/mattresses. Great rooftop bar with harbor views and free drinks and ice cream. Great location in the center of town on the waterfront. 1) this town has few overnight guests and the bulk of the visitors are day trippers via mainland ferry. The town absolutely closes up by 6:00, not a single bar or separate restaurant remain open. The only places for dinner are the few dining rooms associated with hotels. In this hotel you need to make a reservation during the day so the restaurant can order enough food, if you don’t make a reservation your only other option is a separate less elegant public dining room with a more limited menu.

Loved the location and services provided: shuttle to train station, ferry to Miyajima Island. The breakfast and dinner- we chose half board, are amazing! We did not use the onsen, though included, so cannot comment. We loved our stay and will do stay again when in the area.

Great place! I’d stay there again!
