Utsumi beach accommodation

The hotel is actually a part of the airport, which means a 2 minute walk, and no hassles with taxi or other transport. It's also got a convenient store right by the hotel.

It was a very clean and comfortable room for a single traveler. WiFi is provided specifically for your room, and amenities such as toothbrushes and nightwear is included in your stay. I also really enjoyed the breakfast served! It was a mixture of Japanese and Western foods. The hotel itself is right across from the airport's Access Plaza, which holds the Tourist Information center and the train station. I only speak a little Japanese, and after a full day of traveling, and I needed help checking in. The staff member helping me was incredibly kind. The walls are a little thin, and that could be a problem for light sleepers. I was fine though!

staff are very accomodating.

Dated hotel but can tell that they have refurbished the rooms. Private baths can be booked freely! Staffers spoke minimal English but it was passable. Street is otherwise pretty quiet and a quaint neighbourhood. Food in restaurant at top level boasts a great view.

Convenient for jet boat to Tsu across the bay. Weird shuttle. Can drop you off at aIrport but not pick you up. You have to walk through concourse and enclosed walkway to end up 400 neters from hotel. There's where the bus can pick you up. But by that time you might as well walk the rest of the way.

Wonderful views from this hilltop hotel, but it's a long, steep walk back from the beaches! We took the hotel bus down to the beach and walked back after spending some time at the port. It's isolated, but there's a free bus from/to Toyohashi Station. The breakfast and dinner buffets are great, and much of the hotel has been recently renovated. Unfortunately they have changed the afternoon times for the onsen so that women have access to their part at 3pm but men from 5pm, which we found inconvenient.
