Tabino Hard Bed Hotel

Reviewed By tnbms162016

It's a typical Japanese business hotel, with pleasant public areas and a small but functional room. The location is in the middle of Sado Island and quite convenient for getting around. There's a free car park. The restaurant is better than expected - I had dinner there twice and was fully satisfied. The breakfast buffet didn't look worth the price of 1,300 yen so I went to the nearest coffee shop (Tully's, 10 minutes drive away) instead. The staff at reception are pleasant and do their best. The main problem is that the mattress is as hard as a stone, and the pillows are no better (I used my rolled up coat as a pillow, which was far more comfortable). If you like ultra-firm beds, then I can recommend this hotel. But I myself wouldn't stay there again for that reason.

The hotel is located right on the ocean with a great view of the sunset. There was a spacious hot spring to relax in and the food for breakfast was great. The room was spacious as well. The staff was very friendly.

Hotel Oosado

Reviewed By tomizuta1953

This is one of the few left modern ryokans in the Aikawa area. Our room was spacious and the futon bed comfortable enough. I enjoyed the onsen baths, both inner as well as the open air, which were very clean and well maintained. Dinner was a kaiseki style as you would expect in this class of ryokan with a lot of volume including a whole crab. It was ok but I thought they could do better. Breakfast was a buffet. It was quite busy and we had to wait to find a table for six. The buffet was average for this class of hotel (but most likely the best in the area). All the staff were polite and willing to help in any way. Overall we had an enjoyable stay and would stay again on our next visit.

Excellent Choice Close To Ryotsu

Reviewed By Gozzagoh

Loved staying here with the family. Food provided was top quality. If you’re a fan of sake, make sure you sample a bottle of the local brew at dinner (¥990 for the bottle I ordered and was some of the best I have ever tasted). Rooms are big enough and with great views. Onsen is traditional Japanese but there is an option to book a private bath after 9pm. Worth learning a few phrases in Japanese. There is a pick up option from Ryotsu Port for a small fee. The staff really made our visit to Sado worthwhile.

Great Ryokan

Reviewed By semanticvision

We landed on Sado islands in search of great sakes. Booked this ryokan without much anticipation, it turned out to be a gem. We have always prefer smaller onsen ryokan which usually has a more cozy atmosphere with local vibe. It was a surprise to arrived and found out this is a pretty large size ryokan. But the service is top notch, upon arrival, our luggage was taken care of and they valet the car. Room attendant was courteous and attentive. The room was super roomy with plenty of amenities. Onsen was wonderful as well, we took a quick soak before dinner and another one in the morning, excellent cure for jet lag and soured legs from walking. The dinner was glorious, each of us get our own crab! The famous Niigata rice (Sado is part of Niigata Prefecture) was cooked to perfection, springy and tasty! The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have had in Japan hands down. And best of all, the price was extremely reasonable.

Perfect stay!

Reviewed By Aleksssa

We had the greatest time at Yoshidaya, I think we could not have chosen a better place to stay in Sado. Several people said this ryokan is old, but it was perfectly fine for us. On the inside, the hotel lacked absolutely nothing, only from the outside it looked discouraging. We booked a stay at Yoshidaya through their website (Japanese version) and purchased a discounted room+meals package. We got a very spacious Japanese-style room (entrance with a rock garden, bathroom, toilet, 2 tatami rooms and a long break room facing the lake) on the 4th floor with a stunning view of Lake Kamo. When we arrived, a tea set and Japanese sweets with toki design were waiting for us in the room. There was an outside bath (open only in the afternoon) on the roof. It smelled pleasantly of wood and offered even better views of the lake. The place did not have soap, but you can take a bottle from your room's bathroom. It was amazing to watch the sunset from that spot, and when it gets fully dark, you can do stargazing. There is also a larger hot spring with the same type of water (I think) on the bottom floor and it is open in the mornings as well as at night. Also, this one has soap and all the other amenities. The dinner at Yoshidaya was exquisite and consisted of around 10 individual dishes representative of local cuisine, which is based mainly on seafood. We even got served a whole crab. The staff prepared our futon beds for us while we were in the restaurant. The breakfast was also large, delicious and nutritious. It costs around 1000 and it sustains you for hours of sightseeing. At around 21, we saw a (free) local dance performance that lasted for around 30 minutes. They happen only when there is enough guests, so depending on the day you visit, you could miss it. We only spent one night here, but we would definitely visit again. It was one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had.

Not a good experience!

Reviewed By Tripswayer

Location : 24km from Ryotsu Ferry Terminal, can only be accessible by car, or indirect bus (1 transfer) and bus only runs every 2 hour, if you miss once, a.k.a you miss a morning. In my case i cycled there with overnight bicycle rental ( 2000yen) since its too far to return in 1 day. Then its pretty much 15-30 km away from attraction. It has seaview , from afar, it is Not seaside, it is on the hill looking down to a highway and the sea. Facilities and cleaness: good, japanese standard Service: the owner is ok, but she does not speak english much, when i emailed snd ask ger how to go from ferry terminal to the hotel, she ask me to ask others,never mentioned the complications of the bus service there. And surprisingly enough, her follow-up emailS were to convince me to order dinner and breakfast there, dinner at 2000 yen, quite expensive compared to the price there. i didnt explore the island since i only planned gor 1 night stay and did not have appropriate trabsport to go around.

Some great features, could be better

Reviewed By Gary L

It is located about 5 minutes drive from the Ryotsu Port, 20-30mins walk with luggage on narrow roads. The Hotel has a shuttle service. The hotel is accessed by taking a slight left off the main road and up a hill. Be prepared the building is very run down on the outside. The staff don’t speak any English but no one else does on the island as there is no need. The staff are great and try very hard to make your stay enjoyable, loaning us the motorised bicycles each day - fantastic fun! helping us with directions to the coin laundry 20mins on bike, places to eat etc. Their onsen is a highlight, especially the private onsens that you can book, with no extra cost and overlook the lake. Both the private and communal onsens are outside and overlook the lake, fabulous end to the day! Our room overlooked the lake and the car park/onsens across the road. Was clean and quiet. Futons on the tatami floor are good quality - although we used two each for more comfort and the doona cover and yukattas are also good quality and changed each day with the small towels and he room clean. The rooms would be so much better with fly screens so the windows could stay open longer. The accommodation is only worth 3 but we will give it a 4 because of the efforts of the staff.
