Experience of the stay
I stayed at a classic hotel that resembles a castle, overlooking Takeshima.
I have visited Takeshima, which floats in Mikawa Bay, multiple times, but this was my first stay at this hotel.
The location is simply wonderful. You can walk down from the hotel to Takeshima Beach.
The sea breeze is pleasant, allowing for a relaxing time. There are also spots for Instagram-worthy photos.
The retro and Japanese-Western hybrid interior of the hotel is also full of highlights.
From the second-floor restaurant, you can see Takeshima and enjoy a leisurely time.
For breakfast, I chose Japanese food (reservation required the day before), and each dish was delicious and enjoyed slowly.
I recommend the "Mikan no Shizuku," a jelly rich in Gamagori mandarin juice, as a souvenir.
Experiences during the trip
As you step out of the hotel, you can see the Literary Museum by the Sea and Yaotomi Shrine, which offers a direct view of Takeshima.
It's a recommended morning walking course and a very pleasant power spot.
If you have time, you can cross the bridge to Takeshima, where Ben-ten is enshrined, offering blessings for good fortune, safe childbirth, and matchmaking.
