Great food and a place to get away from it all
This hotel is on a quiet inlet of the bay away from the day to bustle of the nearby village. A great place to go for downtime, with excellent food.

Paradise
by far the best experience we have had to date in Japan, the owner was extremely kind and helpful and made the entire experience marvelous. we stayed for two nights and ate at the restaurant for both. The cooking was comparable to Michelin thee star restaurants and is not to be missed. Our room was upgraded to a suite overlooking the aga bay on both sides and could not have been more comfortable. The Japanese style room was impeccable and extremely comfortable, with a terrace overlooking the bay. The best part was the hospitality of the owner, Takanobu, who was extremely helpful and generous. One night we were the only guests there so we had the onsen all for ourselves. The second night he had a group of 30 people and closed off the onsen to other guests as well, an experience not to be missed. We also took a boat ride the second night and got a tour of the bay. Overall the experience was extremely relaxing and much needed after a week of temple touring in the Kyoto area. If I could give ten stars I would give eleven!

The Real Japan, highly recommended.
This is a traditional Japanese Inn type lodging. The view is spectacular and the environment is very much reminiscent of "old Japan." It's best to order the room with the meal plan because there are no restaurants nearby. The food is typically Japanese and fresh from the area. The hot spring bath is very comfortable and offers a view of the sea. They still cultivate oysters in the making of cultured pearls in the sea. The service is very friendly and they speak some English.

Nice view, friendly hosts
We had a very relaxing stay and felt that the owners of the inn were enjoying the rather hard business of operating an inn.

Nice hotel on pearl fishing coat.
Located directly on the Ugata bay (the U in Ugata means cormorants which you will see around the bay). We had a nice surf & turf dyi barbecue with local seafood. The friendliness of Watanabe Takanobo-san was one of the highlights of our holiday - very open minded and interested in the guests. He is also an expert in pearls. The hotel is family oriented (play area for kids on terrace). Helps if you like dogs (we do) because the hotel has 3 of them. Recommend doing a boat trip directly from the hotel. Enjoyed the hot spring baths next to the water. Would like to spend more time in the area but would definitely take a car. Traditional rooms with futon beds. Very relaxing stay.
