Utsumi beach resort & accommodations

Very friendly and helpful staff I enjoyed my stay even though it was only one day very reasonable price and very close to the airport

I score this hotel in line with expectations - this is an excellent location if you want a day or two savouring a bit of onsen fun and relaxation the way that native Japanese would. Don’t expect up-scale luxury, but certainly I was very impressed that every convenience was provided within the rooms and around the hotel. The staff were excellent and very helpful. The atmosphere is bustling and at times a little boisterous. Particularly the evening buffet was quite ‘energetic’ with a distorting PA loudly announcing all the fresh dishes being set out and fish filleting demonstrations etc.. Dinner time was a sort of event. Plenty of choice at the buffet to eat - I was very satisfied. The hotel itself is large and sometimes bewilderingly complex in layout. I found it very interesting - like a grand bubble-era project, now slightly faded by time, but still full of interest. It took all of our two day visit to find every little interesting corner. ( I liked discovering the private onsen rooms and stretching out in my own private hot spring bath ) Oh, and there are welcome drinks from 3pm till 6 including wine juice and coffee, and when you leave there is a small free bus to the station ( even though the station is only about 300m away. In all - had a great time… just went with the flow and came away smiling.

Always wanted to stay in one of these and finally got the chance as I had to wait for my wife in Nagoya Airport for one night. The capsule was clean and efficient. The front desk staff was helpful, if limited in English. I liked that it was so isolated on the first floor so nobody else was around. Having a 24 hour Lawson’s right next door was great when wanting a 4am jet lagged cup of coffee! I don’t know if I will ever get a chance to stay in one of these again, but this was a great experience.
