Visiting tips & what to bring

The diners dinner is currently suspended, and the diner itself is closed Monday, so using nearby eateries and shops for dinner or Monday meals is reassuring. As check-in is 14:00 to 20:00 and check-out is 10:00, adjust your arrival and departure times in advance. As parking is free with about 5 spaces first come first served, an early arrival is safer in peak season. For those aiming at the sea or diving, the gear-drying area and coin laundry are convenient. Being within the village, there is no beach nearby, and sea bathing needs travel by car to places such as Toguchi-no-Hama.

For families with small children

It is relatively suited to those with children aged 0 to 6 too. With a family Japanese-style room and a kitchen-equipped annex, futon laying makes it easy to put small children to bed, and a coin laundry and water server are convenient. The point of being able to eat home cooking at the lunch diner is reassuring too. On the other hand, as dinner service is suspended, eating out or shopping is needed at night, and there is no large play area in the building. It suits families who want to stay at a calm guest inn.
