I had a lovely stay at Hotel Kawakyu during a family winter trip, though it was just for one night. The room was spacious and the friendly staff made us feel welcome. The hot spa was a highlight, but the beach was quite far, and you'd definitely need a car to reach it. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and I might consider coming back someday.

I had a great one-night stay at Hotel Kawakyu during our family winter trip. The hot spa was a highlight for me, and the spacious room made it comfy for my family. I loved the friendly staff, but just a heads up, the beach is a bit far if you're traveling with kids and will need a car. Overall, the affordable price makes this hotel a solid choice, and I could totally see myself coming back.
