Isozaki Onsen Hotel New Hakuyaki

All staff greeted us with smiles. The service was perfect.The building seems old, but the Japanese-style Room we stayed in was more spacious than it looked in the photos, and the tatami still had a fresh igusa scent.The complimentary coffee, barley tea, and ice pops served in the lobby with a great view were also a thoughtful touch.There was a large public bath and an open-air bath with an ocean view. A morning bath while listening to bush warblers was especially nice.It was nemophila season, so the Accommodation rate was higher than places like APA Hotel, but we were glad we chose it because of the attentive hospitality and our ocean-view Room.

We booked at short notice during spring break.We were surprised—it was the largest Room we’ve ever stayed in.The interior felt a bit dated, but it was great for a relaxing stay.The food was delicious, especially the homemade ginger ale and sashimi at dinner, and the seaweed paste we had at breakfast.It was helpful that picture books were available to borrow for bedtime.With a lighthouse right nearby, we had the rare experience of looking out over the ocean late at night.
