Avaliações do Sado Resort Hotel Azuma

This Japanese style resort claims to have the "western-most sunsets in Japan" and we have to agree they were lovely. The hotel property is perched on the Sea of Japan, and there is NOTHING nearby besides scenery. No restaurants, bar, etc. BE FOREWARNED: YOU MUST RESERVE DINNER 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE OR YOU GET NOTHING !!!! We arrived late afternoon on our first night's stay and were told there were no options for us to eat except order a taxi into town or buy snacks from the on-site gift shop or vending machine. Thankfully the vending machine had cold beer and bags of bar snack. Otherwise the staff were wonderful; some English and very accommodating. The room was lovely. You got to pick your own yukata/kimono (in the lobby area) for wearing to the public onsen or to dinner if you like. The onsen was nice, but we could have used a bit of instruction on how to best use this public mineral hot springs bathing facility. The room also came with a private shower and tub. Breakfasts were traditional Japanese (lots small dishes of various foods); dinners (if reserved 24-hours prior) were also traditional Japanese. Everything was quite delicious, but just TOO much food. And it's rude to leave anything, so we tried hard to finish it all. Great resort to get a fully immersive Japanese experience. All guests are treated like royalty. Would recommend IF you have your own car or can work with Japanese-speaking taxi drivers.
