Shiosai Kirara Shokichi

This was a little challenging to get to without knowing Japanese but worth the effort. You have to call them to reserve a spot on the free transport from Banshu-Ako station to the hotel, and at the station there's no clear indication of where the pickup will be or what the bus looks like. I identified it by the Kanji characters pasted on its side and it was waiting in the parking lot. The resort's situated on a rise by the sea and my traditional Japanese room had a little balcony and a sea view, with a massage chair facing outwards. The two onsens were excellent, with indoor and outdoor tubs for both. They aren't big but the resort isn't either so they wouldn't be full. Dinner and breakfast were included and they both comprised of multi-course Japanese dishes and terrific.
