My stay at the resort was wonderful overall! The beach view was fantastic, and I really enjoyed the relaxing ambiance of the area. The room was clean and comfortable, but it was on the smaller side. The food was absolutely delicious, with some of the freshest seafood I've ever tasted. It's a bit off the beaten path, which can be nice for a quiet getaway, but it also means fewer nearby activities.

Arafune Resort is a charming getaway set in a tranquil location, ideal for nature lovers seeking a peaceful beachside experience. The tatami rooms offer a lovely view of the sea and are spacious, providing excellent comfort. The dining experience, featuring traditional Japanese delicacies, was delightful, though the rooms could benefit from modern updates. The on-site onsen was a highlight, perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking along the scenic coastal paths.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, located right across from a sandy beach which was perfect for a refreshing dip. The rooms offered comfort, particularly the tatami-style ones, though the property could be a bit average in terms of excitement and activities. The dining experience was memorable, especially with the fresh seafood dishes. However, the lack of Wi-Fi in rooms might be a downside for some guests.

I had a wonderful stay at Arafune Resort, located right by the beach and close to a quaint fishing village. The clean and comfortable rooms were a nice touch, and I really appreciated the beautiful baths. The meals were plentiful and absolutely delicious, highlighting local flavors. However, the weather was rainy during my visit, which limited some outdoor exploration. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxing getaway or a quick stopover.

Staying at this resort Spa was quite an experience! It's located right by a beautiful sandy beach, perfect for a relaxing dip. The rooms were comfortable, and I loved the fresh seafood dining experience, but the selection was a bit limited. Despite being quiet and charming, it could use more activities for visitors. Overall, it offers good value for money, although the baths were somewhat basic.
