Marissa Resort Southern Seto Suo-Oshima

Overall, I was very satisfied with my two-night stay, and my rating has changed since yesterday. After the first night, I posted that I wasn’t very satisfied with the dinner because I chose the more affordable dinner-included plan. However, on the second night I had the most premium course included, and since it poured with rain on the first night but turned sunny from the second night onward, my impression changed significantly—especially because we stayed in a Room with a terrace open-air bath.We also enjoyed activities such as free e-bike rentals for cycling and a stargazing event. The hotel was apparently fully booked on the second night, but guests staying in Premium Rooms or higher were thoughtfully provided not only dinner seating but also breakfast seating in a spacious area, which was very helpful.For breakfast, having plenty of obanzai-style dishes and vegetables was truly appreciated while traveling. Dinner was completely different between the affordable course and the premium course—it didn’t feel like it came from the same restaurant—but on both nights, the bread and desserts were excellent.I used the Onsen many times; it was always clean, and there are plenty of amenities in the post-bath relaxation area. There is also a strawberry farm, and in the Executive Lounge (available during designated hours for Premium Rooms or higher), there were lots of strawberries as well as several kinds of cakes topped with strawberries, plus tasty light snacks. In the evening, the Executive Lounge is almost drinks-only, but being able to get beverages at any time was convenient.The dedicated Shuttle Service vehicle and driver were also courteous and excellent.

The Room was spacious and very functional, and the towel rack was especially useful. It was essential for hanging laundry that hadn’t fully dried. The view from the Room was also amazing, and the food—especially the dinner—was outstanding; the wagyu beef served with truffle soy sauce was incredible! I was thrilled to stay at such a great price despite it being all-inclusive. It’s a long trip from the Kanto area, but I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.
