Amanohashidate Rikyuu Hoshinoto

The Facility, amenities, meals, and service were all perfect.The Onsen was especially wonderful.If it were closer, I’d visit often—truly an outstanding Accommodation.It was quiet and relaxing, and I was very satisfied.The staff were also kind.

This was our third visit, always during crab season. The Room design and furnishings somehow make you feel relaxed and cozy, and we find it a very comfortable Accommodation. In particular, the two different Onsens were both wonderful, and my wife and I loved them so much that we enjoyed them many times. That said, this time—perhaps due to the nature of the Onsen—the bottom of the gold Onsen bath had sand and small stones settled on it, which felt unpleasant underfoot and was a bit disappointing.The crab cuisine is the classic “full-course crab meal,” but each dish is thoughtfully crafted—such as a hot pot where you quickly dip the crab meat in a broth made with crab miso and sea urchin, or steamed crab finished with the aroma of roasted green tea. The cooking was perfectly judged throughout, allowing us to fully enjoy the natural sweetness of the crab. Since it’s one whole crab per person, I initially wondered if it might be a little small in quantity, but every part was used without waste; even the final rice porridge was delicious to the very last bite, leaving us completely satisfied.Next time, we’d like to visit in a warmer season and try dishes other than crab as well.
