Umioto Mari

I’m always impressed by the meals and the beautiful presentation. After enjoying the private morning bath, I saw a staff member wiping guests’ car windows, and I was even more moved by such thoughtful care. The tableware is wonderful as well. Thank you for these memorable experiences. I’ve also collected quite a lot of sea glass from the beach.

I had been wanting to visit, and when I came last spring I was very satisfied, so I returned again hoping to come back in autumn as well. I especially enjoyed the "Olive Kaiseki" once again this time. This time, you also invited me to join the late-afternoon tour of the Goishiyama Sacred Site, and I participated. Although you are clearly accustomed to Shodoshima’s narrow roads and the steep route up to the sacred site, you kindly guided us there. It is a place that is not easy to visit in everyday life, and I was deeply moved by the beauty of the sunset seen from there and by the rugged mountain scenery along the way toward the sheer cliffs. I am truly happy that you took me to a place that would be difficult to reach on my own and that I was able to have such a valuable experience.
