GOTO RETREAT ray by Onkochishin

This was my second visit.I was able to spend a truly relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.This time, the only thing I had previously felt was missing—a regular bath—had been replaced with an Onsen. Since this service had not yet started at the time of my Reservation, it was a very pleasant surprise.The Room is not large, but for a solo traveler and minimalist like me, it is perfect. The design from the entrance to the lobby is simple yet exceptionally tasteful and soothing. The surrounding area offers beautiful scenery while remaining quiet and uncrowded, and I always enjoy taking walks there.My favorite view in particular is when looking toward Onidake from the Abunze Lava Coast Observatory on foot—the way the Hotel sits there without spoiling the landscape. It’s a scene that also appears in the tourism film shown at the Goto Tourism & History Museum, and you can see it with your own eyes.I also enjoyed both the food and drinks, which were carefully explained to me. I think this meal suited my tastes even better than last time, and I was very satisfied. I am also extremely satisfied with the service.A truly great Accommodation is one you want to return to again and again—and this is an Accommodation I would gladly visit again even from far away.

They asked about our schedule in advance and arranged taxis and other transportation, which was a great help. Our Reservation time had to be changed due to our circumstances, but they responded immediately. Everyone was very friendly, and we had a comfortable stay. The meals featured plenty of ingredients from the Goto Islands and were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the Onsen, making this a very satisfying trip.
