+The staff were so kind and helpful. When we arrived with our elderly dog and were shown to our room, they very kindly swapped us to a more suitable room without any fuss. The room was well-equipped for dogs, with bowls, wipes, a pee pad, and a crate provided. The ryokan is in a beautiful location; rural and right by the water, but still only a 5-minute drive to a convenience store and shops and restaurants in the nearby town. There’s also a lovely viewpoint (Yokoyama Viewpoint) about a 10-minute drive away. We also joined the sunset cruise around Ago Bay, which was incredible, and the staff kindly accommodated a late dinner for us afterwards. The meals we had (breakfast and dinner) were both plentiful and really good. There was also a dog run and a wonderful onsen overlooking the bay.
−I had booked a "Japanese-Style Room with Shared Bathroom and Ocean View", but our initial room had a private bathroom and no ocean view. However, the staff very kindly moved us to another room that had an ocean view and was more suitable for my elderly dog. Some surfaces in our room were a little dusty, though this may have been due to our last-minute room change. The onsen water was also on the hotter side for my personal preference, though others may enjoy that. We felt a little rushed during dinner, though this might be because we had it after the sunset cruise, so it was after their last time slot.

“Beautiful view, no sleep, old falling apart onsen”
+Stunning little harbour. Beautiful views
−We booked a room with an ocean view. The room had windows inside the children’s playground courtyard attached to the ping-pong table. At 6:30 parents happily decided to play ping pong so we had no sleep . The staff very friendly - gave us the worst room and multiplied by giving us a dinner table in the corner where you can’t enjoy the view too. Disappointed.

“Visually great, but actually inconvenient and uncomfortable”
+The design of the place is quite nice and the views over the water as well. The onsen is all wooden and has a very nice vibe to it as well.
−The location is far from Ugata station, which I knew, but I had to take a taxi there and back which was an extra 4200 yen. I was expecting to take the shuttle, which I emailed about but never got a response from the property. When my check-in time approached and I still didn't receive a reply, I decided to call to ask. Although there is no mention of this on the website, the staff told me the shuttle is only for guests that have reserved meals at the hotel, which makes no sense to me. For the cost of the taxi I could've paid for the meal at the hotel and gotten the shuttle and not had to spend extra on a meal out. Secondly, the room I had was right beside the "play room", and there is a window with washi paper facing out onto it and no curtains. The lights in the play room are always on, so my room was very bright all night and I had to sleep with a yukata over my face to make it dark. I would advise bringing a sleep mask just in case.

“Cute and authentic getaway Ryokan by a spellbinding bay”
+This is a cozy old Ryokan. We stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast. The room we had overlooked the bay, and was beautiful both at night and morning. The have a very nice huge bathhouse split between women and men. We were there on a Friday night and the spa was empty. We had it to ourself on our respective sides and enjoyed the hot water. It was kind of funny as crabs live between the floorboards given how close to water the inn is. I almost got a heart attack when showering when one tried to get friendly with me, but ultimately he became my companion and I watched them curiously as I bathed
−The food was ok, not the greatest but very decent, local certainly. Staff was very kind but felt a little fazed at needing to speak English at reception.

“記憶に残る旅。”
+伊勢神宮から足を伸ばし志麻市の宿へ宿泊。 志麻の海岸線が入り組んだ立地がよくわかる海辺の宿です。外海ではないので海は穏やかで朝釣りを楽しむ人もいました。 朝の散歩で少し先に白い鳥(ダイサギ？)が沢山いるのを見かけました。やはり立地が最高のご馳走。 時間の関係で夕食は食べずでしたが、次回は是非ご自慢の夕食を食べたいと思います。 露天風呂からも海の景色が味わえます。 伊勢志麻サミット時に配布された古事記が部屋にあり日本を振り返る旅になりました。

“日本のノスタルジックな雰囲気が最高”
+海に浮かぶ雰囲気が最高でした。 宿全体は決して真新しい感じではないですが、リフォームも入っているのか非常にキレイな客室でした。 むしろフロントがある棟は、レトロな雰囲気で非日常感もあり、気持ちが高揚しました。 ご飯も美味しく、何よりも料金設定が良心価格なのも助かりました。 次回も是非利用したい宿です。
−緑が多い地域ということもあり、施設内に多少の虫は見受けられました。 苦手な人は要注意かもしれません。
