Experience of the stay
This is my second visit.
The best way to spend time at this hotel is undoubtedly enjoying the view of the sea leisurely in the lobby.
With high ceilings, large windows, and the blue sea expanding in front of you, the gentle BGM relaxes your mind.
The hotel staff is very polite, and I've never felt anything but good vibes here.
During this visit, I stayed in a sea-view room, but I found myself spending most of my time in the lobby.
Next time, I would like to try the dormitory room as well.
The ocean view bath is also very soothing, and breakfast is exquisite.
Especially breakfast while gazing at the sea is the ultimate luxury. I highly recommend this, even for an additional charge.
Doing PC work while looking at the sea is very comfortable, and I was able to progress with my work pleasantly.
Check-out at 11 am is also a nice touch for someone like me who enjoys a leisurely pace.
This is a special place that is perfect for when you want to quietly organize your thoughts or face yourself.
Experiences during the trip
Hayama in April and May, when the Hayama Art Festival and Zushi Coast Film Festival take place, is full of attractions!
Next time, I would love to stay longer and enjoy Hayama at a leisurely pace.
The nearby 7-Eleven, just a short walk from the hotel, offers a wide selection of chilled natural wine, which is one of the highlights.
The Umi no Hotel allows bringing in your own drinks, so buying your favorite wine and enjoying it leisurely in your room or lobby while gazing at the sea is truly a luxury.
For natural wine lovers, I recommend "ami hayama," which is within cycling distance and offers tasting by the glass. You can also find snacks there and purchase your favorite wine to take home!
Additionally, the "Zushi Hayama Preserved Food Research Institute" is recommended, about 10 minutes from the hotel by bicycle! Their handmade rice balls are popular and can sell out quickly in the morning, so I recommend reserving in advance.
Moreover, I also visited the sacred places related to the currently broadcasted drama 'Continuing the Second Last Love.' I headed to Gokurakuji Station by Enoden and strolled to see old folk house cafes and took a walk to Inamuragasaki.
At Inamuragasaki Onsen, I was able to relax in a high-quality hot spring while overlooking the breathtaking view of the sea and Mount Fuji. The Thai restaurant located on the first floor of the hot spring was also delicious!
By the way, there is a shrine right next to Umi no Hotel, and I also recommend a morning visit there. The view from the shrine is beautiful and is a perfect place to start your day.
