Kaike Onsen Kikunoya
皆生温泉 皆生菊乃家

A friendly 31-room beachfront inn with free-flowing salt-spring baths, nodoguro and live-tank seafood, and the president's own folk-song concerts in the lobby — but the shared baths are small and the building shows its age
Kikunoya opened on 1 January 1964 as an annex of the Kikusui Ryokan — the first reinforced-concrete inn in Kaike Onsen — took its current name in 1989 and was rebuilt in October 1997, keeping the old entrance waterfall and the live-fish tank. It's a 31-room, seven-floor house set directly on the beach, with sea-view rooms looking over Miho Bay, kana calligraphy on the walls and a lobby where the second-generation president has sung folk songs on weekend nights since around 2003 (a 2022 blogger heard there had been over 2,000 shows). Only a handful of recent first-hand blogs exist — stays in August 2022 and February 2026 — so most recent evidence here comes from booking-site reviews: it rates 4.43 across 1,451 reviews on one major site (service 4.52, dinner 4.50) and 4.6 across 1,494 on another (rooms, dinner, service and cleanliness 4.7). Guests praise the sea views and sunrises, salt-grilled nodoguro, Tottori wagyu shabu-shabu and crab, a prize-winning breakfast, upgrades and warm, attentive staff, and the baths draw Kaike's salty spring free-flowing. The baths are also the weak spot, scoring 4.2–4.28: guests in 2025–2026 found them small, with six or seven showers and queues before dinner, a cramped, sometimes lukewarm outdoor tub, and a men's outdoor bath visible from the beach path. Other complaints: a September 2026 bath breakdown, a dirty toilet on arrival and an unapologetic response in December 2025, ageing rooms, and dinners that some found ordinary for the price. Two-meal plans run about ¥23,000–27,000 per person, over ¥30,000 with in-room dining or abalone.
Guía para elegir habitación
Lo que recomiendan quienes se han alojado aquíRecomendadas
Sea-side Japanese rooms (10 tatami, with bath and toilet)
The view is the point: guests in 2025–2026 describe the Sea of Japan filling the window, sunrises over the bay, squid-boat lights at night and the Miho-no-seki lighthouse. Rooms along the beach all face the sea similarly, so a higher floor matters less. The 'B' sea-side type comes with dinner in your room or a private room; the renovated Japanese-modern twin on the fifth floor (10 tatami, Magniflex mattresses) is compact but comfortable, according to an October 2026 review.
Top-floor (7F) semi-special and special rooms
The semi-special room is 12.5 tatami plus an entry room, with a sofa and massage chair; the special room adds an 8-tatami room, twin beds and a hinoki view bath — though the inn notes that bath is not onsen water. A 2021 blogger in the semi-special room loved the space and view but found in-room dining (automatic with this type) less relaxing than eating elsewhere, and the food not quite worth the room's premium.
Mejor evitar
Town-side rooms (8 or 10 tatami, toilet but no bath) and the 18-tatami family room
The cheapest rooms face the town and Mt Daisen rather than the sea — several 2025–2026 guests enjoyed the Daisen view and some were upgraded to the sea side, but an October 2026 guest in a town-side room on a lighter dinner plan rated location 1. Windows in sea-view rooms are locked (May 2026), and an August 2026 family found the building and rooms showing their age.

La cocina a fondo
Consenso sobre el desayuno
4.5/5A Japanese set breakfast built around Sakaiminato bera-garei flounder, dried overnight and kept hot at the table, with local tofu — twice a prize-winner at a national breakfast festival and one of the most praised parts of the stay; served from 7:00–8:30 in the restaurant or dining hall
If you want the weekend folk-song show (usually 21:00 in the lobby, free; requests welcome), book a Saturday or Sunday night. In summer the beach is steps away: guests used free sandals and towels and an outdoor shower room, even after check-out. Free pick-up from the Kaike Kankō Center bus stop if you call ahead; parking is free (30 cars).
Claves de la cena
4.4/5Kaiseki of local seafood from nearby ports, kept alive in the inn's own tank: a typical menu brings white squid and three local fish as sashimi, salt-grilled nodoguro, Tottori wagyu shabu-shabu, tempura and live abalone cooked at the table, with whole red snow crab in summer (April–October) and Matsuba crab in winter, plus an original nama-zake. Reviewers single out the nodoguro, the generous portions and patient, chatty service over two-hour crab dinners. Critics: crab that tasted frozen (November 2025), steamed, undercooked fish (May 2026) and a lighter 'Shiosai' plan that disappointed for its price (October 2026). Dining is in a screened tatami hall, the sea-view restaurant, a private room or your room, depending on plan.
Onsen y bienestar: la realidad
Kaike Onsen's sodium-calcium chloride spring (neutral), nicknamed the 'salt spring' because it rises from beneath the sea. The source runs at 65–83°C, so the inn adds water to cool it, but the official site says the baths are free-flowing (kakenagashi) rather than recirculated; a 2016 blogger copied the posted data as 63.8°C, pH 7.3, no heating or recirculation, water added and disinfected. Guests note the salty taste and silky skin afterwards.
Two single-sex baths, each with an indoor tub and a small hinoki outdoor tub facing the sea: men on the first floor, women on the second, with no swap (15:00–1:00 and 5:00–9:30). No private baths. Guests praise the water but say the baths are small for the inn — six or seven washing stations, queues before dinner, an outdoor tub that fits about two and can be lukewarm, and a sea view you only see standing up. The men's first-floor outdoor tub is screened, but bloggers in 2021 and 2022 and a 2026 guest locked eyes with people walking on the beach.
