Hama no Miyabitei Ichii

This hotel sits right on the coast in Toba, with sea views from every room. The large indoor bath is filled with hot-spring water brought in from Sakakibara Onsen, known locally for leaving skin smooth, and a small communal open-air bath sits alongside it, the kind of size where guests strike up conversation. Some rooms come with their own open-air tub, but it's filled with plain hot water rather than the spring water, and there's no mixed bathing.
