Plenty of hot water, a giant TV, and cosy futon beds. Tiny mini refrigerator, electric kettle, a microwave, and FamilyMart about 400m away. The self check-in is very convenient, but just be aware that rooms are in a two-story, older, nondescript apartment building in an area without many street lights. It's a perfectly safe, nice, quiet area, and it's obvious once you know where you're going, but I had some trouble actually finding the stairs/door when I arrived late in the evening. The host very kindly answered the phone when I called and made sure I knew where to go. The apartment is labeled as Arashima Inn on Google Maps and there's a big painted sign on the (dark) side of the building saying Arashima Guest House.
Just a 4-minute walk from Hinatahama Beach and 300 yards from Dolphin Island, 桃源郷2 features accommodations in Toba with a terrace.

Interesting atmosphere of an old Japanese house. It had spooky atmosphere, I was expecting some ghosts to come in the middle of the night to look if I have some sushi inside my bag. Or soul.

It's an authentic experience if you want to stay in a japanese temple. It's nothing luxurious but good enough.

For travelers who enjoy beauty in the simple things, a bed and breakfast (B&B) is the perfect place for a getaway. Hosts welcome guests into their homes and provide a private room and complimentary breakfast. Bathrooms might be shared by other guests, and there's usually shared space with the host.
Quiet with a nice view. Have drinking water, snacks and welcoming cake in the room. Staff are polite and responsive. Have a gift shop, onsen, ice cream and milk vending machine. Also have mesh-mellow bbq at night with coffee and tea. The breakfast is also fantastic!
Everything was just great! Very helpful staff, great food and free facilities (f.e. private hot pot, karaok,…). We stayed for three nights, but two would have been enough, because there is not much to see nearby. But if you want to cool down your head with locals it is just great.
The location is in a much quieter area of Japan and the coastline is very lovely. Visting the Ama women pearl diver's hut was so interesting. The hotel was right on the water and a great base for exploring.
Great location, very close to train station, Aquarium, Pearl Museum and restaurants, lovely host, good Onsen, fantastic breakfast (Japanese of course), Quiet and comfortable. Great stay.
Service and support from the staff was excellent, toom was one of the best we had in our trip, with private bath and sauna, but particularly worth of mentioning the support from the front office
