Sado Resort Hotel Azuma

The scenery is gorgeous but services are a bit slow. No pre warning about booking dinner

リフォーム後のピカピカ新装開業のお部屋に宿泊しました。私達の宿泊したリフォームしたての客室には浴槽が間に合わなく部屋にシャワーしかないない状態が申し訳ないと、普段有料の露天風呂を無料でどうぞご使用くださいとのご配慮をいただき、いざ露天風呂へ♨️ しかし、その有料露天風呂の建物はホテル本体から100メートル程離れた場所にあり、屋根もない外を部屋用スリッパ＆浴衣で移動するシステムで、その日は奇しくも外は吹雪で足元はベタ雪…外は暗闇で小さなカンテラを渡されて闇の中、雪に降られながら屋外露天風呂への道中…突然スリッパが冷たい泥濘に嵌り、両足はぐちゃぐちゃ😱冷たい🥶 離れた場所に建てられた露天風呂自体は絶景が眼下にみおろせる場所にある美しい造りの露天風呂♨️でしたが、帰りも当然、足元の部屋用スリッパともに冷たい雪まみれの泥＆砂路に嵌りペチャベチャ＆グチョグチョ＆ヒエヒエ🥶＆ガタガタ:(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'):直ちにホテル本館の大浴場に入り冷えてしまった身体を再度温める事態になりました。 ホテル本館から100メールも離れた場所に絶景を優先して建てた露天風呂だけの建物だと思いますから、そちらに無事に快適に移動出来るようにした方が価値がでると感じました。 例えば 雨、雪の日は長靴を貸し出す…とか 足元ライトを露天風呂♨️の建物まで道案内するように設置する…とか あの特別な有料露天風呂♨️に関してのインフォメーションは 必須項目だと思う。 せっかくの施設なのに本当に残念でした。

This Japanese style resort claims to have the "western-most sunsets in Japan" and we have to agree they were lovely. The hotel property is perched on the Sea of Japan, and there is NOTHING nearby besides scenery. No restaurants, bar, etc. BE FOREWARNED: YOU MUST RESERVE DINNER 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE OR YOU GET NOTHING !!!! We arrived late afternoon on our first night's stay and were told there were no options for us to eat except order a taxi into town or buy snacks from the on-site gift shop or vending machine. Thankfully the vending machine had cold beer and bags of bar snack. Otherwise the staff were wonderful; some English and very accommodating. The room was lovely. You got to pick your own yukata/kimono (in the lobby area) for wearing to the public onsen or to dinner if you like. The onsen was nice, but we could have used a bit of instruction on how to best use this public mineral hot springs bathing facility. The room also came with a private shower and tub. Breakfasts were traditional Japanese (lots small dishes of various foods); dinners (if reserved 24-hours prior) were also traditional Japanese. Everything was quite delicious, but just TOO much food. And it's rude to leave anything, so we tried hard to finish it all. Great resort to get a fully immersive Japanese experience. All guests are treated like royalty. Would recommend IF you have your own car or can work with Japanese-speaking taxi drivers.

This hotel was so pretty and so peaceful that it was a nice place to stay at while on the island. Our room was super spacious but had an interesting layout. The toilet (water closet) was separate from the tub/shower which was also separate from the sink. The beds were in the middle. We needed some time to get used to the layout but quickly adapted. With all the space we were able to spread out and really enjoy ourselves.
