Dogashima New Ginsui

I don't know when this hotel was built but it's definitely not young but, oh my, what a hotel!!! The location is stunning with an amazing sunset view but moreover, the hotel itself looks like 1980's peak luxury, we felt like we were in a James Bond movie, one with Roger Moore! Of course, this is a ryokan as well so expect a confortable tatami room as a bedroom with a view on the sea (all rooms have a sea view), a delicious traditional japanese dinner includind all kinds of local dishes and a buffet (who doesn't love a buffet!), a superb 80's glory onsen open all night onlooking the sea and in the morning, a wonderful breakfast buffet composed mostly of japanese dishes but with a good amount of western options as well (there even was a soft serve machine at the breakfast buffet!). About the baths, we haven't asked if there was a tattoo policy but since me and my husband both have many of them and there was a lot of older guests staying the same night as us, we decided to go to the baths around 9-10pm and had absolutely no issues about it. The staff was wonderful, the location was wonderful, we thought everything was wonderful! We would go back anytime!

Excellent staff support for our comfortable stay. Beautiful view. This is a perfect example of the family-style hot spring resort that is a more affordable experience based on the ryokan model. Personally, I love it for the amenities, large tatami rooms, buffet, hot springs and general sense of relaxation. New Ginsui is a perfect version of that style and exactly what I wanted.

spacious, larger than normal bathroom with separate shower/tub and vanity areas. Spotless. large sitting area for making tea and chatting by big bay windows overlooking the shoreline. four onsen pools and sauna. free drinks while watching sunset in lobby. friendly staff

The view, the food was exceptional! Free beer service was totally out of the box. Outdoor onsen is too nice

Overall very excellent experience, thank you very much.
