Hamanako Resort & Spa The Ocean

After our Reservation, you kindly called and offered to switch our Room. On the day of our stay, you also prepared a step in advance to help with the level difference in the Room’s unit bath, and we truly appreciated your thoughtful attention.You had arranged parking near the entrance, but unfortunately our car navigation guided us to the seaside parking lot, and we parked there instead.The restaurant staff were also kind, and we were able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace.The Onsen was spacious and very relaxing. From the Room, we could see both the torii gate and the sea; at night, the torii was illuminated and the view was beautiful. In the morning, we enjoyed watching seabirds and fishing boats coming and going, making for a very pleasant time.

The view of Lake Hamana and the ocean right in front was stunning, and the staff were very polite. The meals were slightly smaller compared to others but thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable. The unagi tasting experience was delicious! The stay was very comfortable overall. The only downside was that the dining room didn’t have windows. It would have been perfect if there had been an ocean view with palm trees, but since our Room had an ocean view, we were more than satisfied! Additionally, there’s a boat dock near the Hotel where you can take a boat to an uninhabited island. On the morning before checkout, we asked the boatmen to take us out for an hour-long trip. My daughter and I passed under a torii gate, searched for beautiful shells, and played with hermit crabs—it became such a memorable experience! The boatmen were incredibly kind and helpful as well. If you have time, I highly recommend this activity too!
