Genjiko

Such a fun experience- and the staff was SO NICE. I mean really, they were the sweetest people ever, and our room had an incredible view. Really cool stay

I recommend Genjikoh for the amazing Japanese experience of enjoying the open bath overlooking the ocean and the various activities in the hotel such as the scent workshop. We booked a room for 5 and it was spacious and was pleasantly surprised it has 2 toilets. The sea view was breathtaking. We don’t book the meals as we don’t eat raw food but we had difficulty finding a good eatery outside as there are few amenities nearby and they close early. This place is great for those who drive but inaccessible otherwise even though the hotel has a shuttle bus. We are glad we had a rental car and could enjoy this great ryokan experience!

This was a fabulously beautiful ryokan With wonderful service, beautiful rooms that were large and with an ocean view. The staff speak adequate English. From the moment you walk in the lobby a sense of peace and serenity surrounds you.The onsen was on the top floor in some beautiful rock garden ledges with a great view. You could not find a more peaceful and pleasant place. We had one meal there which was a really nice, tasty omekasa.The only problem with it for someone not from Japan or who can't drive in Japan is that it is in an extremely inconvenient area. We were able to get there by train and then by cab, but with one exception, the dining options are not walking distance. In order to get home, we had to take a bus to a train to another train. This wasn't a terrible problem but we had a lot of luggage. No cabs were available. Uber doesn't go there. If you're able to drive in Japan, this is an excellent place to go. And if you don't drive but you have a sense of adventure and don't mind these limitations, it's very rewarding.
