Kawazu is a small town so walking the town is easy. This ryokan is along the beach so the view from every room is wonderful. There is an outdoor onsen in every room as well as a larger outdoor onsen for groups. The staff was wonderful and met our every need. The food was exceptional….beautiful presentation…tasty. They have their own boats out in the bay that collects seafood so it can’t get much fresher. This ryokan was exceptional!

Exceptionally attentive staff with some of the best hospitality we've ever experienced. The private bath was amazing, with beautiful views, and the food was excellent. It was a shame that, due to travel plans, we couldn't stay longer and enjoy the local area, especially given the extra complimentary services and amenities that were offered for beach-going - very thoughtful!

I can’t say enough good thing about this facility. I will come back for more nights. The private onsen is so unreal, so good. Everyone took very good care of us. Kaiseki meal and service are top notch.

The only major point of caution I would raise is that a main road does run between the hotel and the bay it overlooks. It didn't impact our stay, but sleepers of an extremely sensitive disposition may want to take heed.

Our favourite of the four ryokan we had the pleasure of experiencing in Ryokan. What tipped it was the incredible staff, who went to every effort to make us feel welcome throughout, and managed to walk a perfect line between friendly and professional. We were particularly grateful to the one lady who took charge of both our meals directly; this personal touch - making sure you have the same point of contact throughout your stay - seems to be a feature of Ushiogumo, and was very much appreciated. The room and rotenburo overlooking the beach is beautiful, with ample amenities including a charming coffee stand in the adjoining powder room. Dinner was also excellent, with each course prepared and brought to us individually in our private dining area, as well as a sake tasting set that I thought was extremely generous in its proportions. In fact, I think maybe the most skillful aspect of the whole arrangement is that Ushiogumo does well to screen guests from one another, so that you have the impression that the whole ryokan is put on entirely for your benefit.

hard to climb the stairs, but its the normal type of stairs in japan

Traditional ryokan near the sea.

I wish there wasn't a road in front so we could hear the beach at night!

This place is a luxury, you are treated exceptionally well, the staff is extremely helpful and kind and so very welcoming. The amenities and location are just amazing, you can walk along the beach as it's right across the street, There are only a few rooms so it is very peaceful, the onsens are amazing, the staff made us wonderful ice coffee to relax with outside as well. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Everything was positive about this ryokan! Staff were extremely friendly. The onsen bath in your private balcony was fantastic, having the luxury of enjoying onsen in your room. They also had two private onsen rooms which you can book to use for free! We stayed for two nights and had kaiseki for dinner both nights, which were amazing as well. It was truly an unforgettable experience staying here.

Close to main road but it wasn’t really a problem

Absolutely loved this boutique ryokan style hotel with all the luxuries. Private onsen, cedar bath overlooking the ocean. Miwa took the best care of us. True hospitality!

Stayed in March 2024

If you are worried about it there is a little noise from the road between the hotel and the beach, but this was no problem for us.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The food was excellent, the room was amazing and most importantly the hospitality was top rate. We were looked after by Miwa for both our meals and she was brilliant. I hope we can make it back someday.

Really enjoyed staying at Ushiogumo: The facilities are brand-new and impeccable, amazing staff (!!), beautiful location that's close to scenic landscapes. The Kaiseki Ryori dinner was excellent, breakfast was great too! Each room has a private bath on the balcony. There's lots of amenities in the room. Plus, the hotel onsen is made available for private use from 6pm. It's a small property (I counted 7 rooms) and thus feels very cozy. The road in front of the hotel did not really bother us. The terrace windows are well-isolated to block out any noise and there's also the calming sound from the balcony onsen. Extra points for the super-friendly staff!!! ...who can also converse in English so it's no problem for foreign tourists.

The steep ladders to the 2nd floor.

We love an onsen in the room with seaview and also private onsen booking after 8 pm. The dinner was very delicious and had many courses. It took 2 hrs for having dinner. We were so full. There is a private parking lot and the location is close to Kawazu Sakura area.

Kaiseki dinner was new to us. It was not bad but we couldn't say we fully enjoyed the varieties of cuisine served.

In room onsen was amazing and surprisingly clean. Although resort was located beside a main road, barely any vehicle sounds could be heard as it was covered by the pleasant ocean sound. Private onsen on the main floor was beyond expectation! If it wasn't cloudy during our stay we could've enjoy a beautiful sunrise view. Every single staff at the resort spoke English and was super helpful in any way possible.
