On booking it says they have a private beach but its not true.

The views from the room and the onsen

Stayed in May 2024

Umibenokakureyu Seiryu is a nice place, however it is relatively old onsen, I guess excellent 20 years ago and good right now but need to be refreshed.

both breakfast and dinner were superb - couldn't be faulted except perhaps too large (what a problem). private onsen were great with the most wonderful views. truly superb.

Attention to detail in room cleanliness and appearance. We had the superior room but the balcony was a mess, general furnishings felt old and looked dirty and the washroom facilities were sub standard. Feels understaffed.

Very good food and onsen facilities.

Food options were very limited. Also the property needs some TLC as it’s looking a bit tired

Great location with amazing views across the bay

Alive food in the dinner, they serve it even we ask not to. Some people of the staff were not nice. It was difficult to find outside onsen and we didn’t receive all information when check in (for example when we did a reservation for onsen we staff didnt explain we have to come to take a key at entrance.

Onsen face to sea was amazing !

The rooms get a bit hot in the afternoon but there was an air conditioner and the staff turned it on for us when they cleaned our room while we were out. Has a strange smell but thats normal for authentic onsens (it’s the minerals in the water and the sea)

Amazing view of the sea from our room. Very clean rooms and super friendly staff. Each day the staff cleaned our room they left a new snack for us. Nice and quiet. Lots of little sea bugs outside (funamushi), they’re very cute and harmless.

Our second Ryokan. Staff were a little funny. Bit of a musty smell in the hotel. Breakfast was not to our taste with no option for anything else.

Great view from the room!

You can feel is an old ryokan, however we encounter two main issues. The shower head did not work as it was clogged and the water was not coming correctly, the water faucet was loose moving around, I notice some mold as well.

Staff provided an amazing service, they were very polite and informative. The breakfast met the expectations, it was nicely set in the morning and we could enjoy it with the sea side view. We slept amazingly well with the sound of the waves realxing, be mindful becase if this bother you shou should not book this place.

The explanation of the food was not clear

The room was excellent and for the experience was incredible, i just feel they could of provide with water bottles and maybe a proper explanation of the food we were eating.

Ryoken is a bit old, but it was compensated by excellent services by hotel staff.

Excellent island n sea shore view from both our room and the PRIVATE ONSEN! It's breathtaking and the onsen is ONE OF ITS KIND. You basically overlook the ocean and Dougashima shores.. Excellent view. And it's priced reasonably.

old need repair

dilapidated

Stayed in December 2022

The photos on the website do not reflect reality. The place is in poor condition, with broken parts everywhere that haven't been repaired. There's a smell of humidity and years of use in the corridors and elevator. Going to the private onsens is an adventure, recommended only if you're not afraid of strange insects and other sea creatures that might appear, and if you don't mind the abundance of spider webs. The corridor to the private onsens is almost falling apart; don't look up at the ceiling. Even the amazing view from the room was spoiled due to the balcony being completely destroyed with rotten pieces of wood sticking out and the railing broken and rusted. The indoor Onsen walls were black with mould, most of the lockers were broken and the wooden parts were rotten and falling apart. In the hallways there were small counters that we imagine at one point in the past might have functioned like small bars but at the moment they were unmanned and a quick peek behind the counter revealed years of grime and stains around the taps and lower walls. We felt that many of these issues could have been easily addressed, like removing the spider webs in the private onsens or replacing some broken handrails, so we concluded that the hotel doesn't really care. That's why we decided to cancel our last night and go somewhere else. To our surprise, even though we had paid for the night, we were asked to leave at 10:00. I wanted to take a shower and pack my things but didn't have time, even though the night was already paid for! We complained about this but were still asked to leave by 11:00 at the latest. I wonder if they intended to put our room back for rental that same day. By the way, the shower in our room was clogged and the water didn't drain properly. We tried the breakfast, but we weren't surprised that we didn't like it, given the state of the hotel. It feels like no one cares there.

The views from the room and onsen, the sound of the sea. The room itself was very spacious.

Pictures on booking seem to be shopped, all in all a bit run down.

- Pictures online does NOT REFLECTING the true condition of the hotel - Horrible horrible horrible cleanliness - Mold overall bathroom ceiling, water marks on the wall - Moldy smell as soon as entering the room - Very rundown facility and amenities in the room - Dirty dirty open air bath - Blood stain on the bedding - Bugs on the breakfast plate

The SCENE from this location is beautiful.
