2. Reviews from Review Sites
- “It was a relaxing inn close to the city center. The service was polite and always with a smile. The food wasn’t as expected based on the reviews, which was a bit disappointing for the level of the inn. However, I was happy with my stay and would consider returning.”
- “The private space and the bath in the room are very nice. The amenities are well-equipped, and you can spend most of your time without leaving the room.”
- “It was such a good inn that I want to stay once a year. Having a butler was reassuring and very nice.”
- “The private pool is excellent. This was my second stay, and I enjoyed a different atmosphere from the last time. The water supply runs out quickly as you hydrate every time you enter the pool or hot spring.”
- “It was truly a wonderful experience! My family wanted to go to the pool, so we chose this inn for its pool, and it was truly breathtaking.”
- “We stayed in a private villa. It felt like a suite room in a hot spring inn, very relaxing. It was a single-story building with a 114 square meter guest room, arranged in a U-shape around the pool.”
- “We are very pleased that you were satisfied with the private pool, the spacious room, and the bathroom facilities.”
- “A luxurious stay in a villa over 100 square meters with a pool and an open-air bath. The sea breeze passing through the pine forest is pleasant, and the luxurious adult atmosphere will enhance your senses.”
- “The private pool is a facility that is hard to find elsewhere, so we will come again.”

Comments
Honestly, it’s more expensive than other hotels nearby. So it would be best to visit during off-peak times (like June or early July). Staying Kamogawa-kan La Shoro with private pool and hot spring bath will be memorable experience.
As an experience, it’s truly top-class. We only stayed for one night, but my family enjoyed the pool and hot spring, and playing at the nearby beach. We will ,no doubt, remember this forever.
I stayed in this room, booked through Ikkyu (one of the most famous luxury hotel booking site)
4. Memorable Extraordinary Experience (Rating: 4)
It leaves an overwhelming impression. I think I’ll never forget. First, it’s close to beach and sea! Choosing good timing is important, but I’ve been to Kamogawa many times during Golden Week (early May). It’s a bit cold, but maybe due to global warming, you can play at the beach. It’s more like playing at the water’s edge rather than swimming.
Next, extraordinary feeling of this hotel itself. There are probably very few places in Japan where each room is independent, with a sufficiently large private pool and an open-air bath attached to the room. I highly recommend it!!
The sea is also quite beautiful.
5. Activities (Rating: 5)
Kamogawa Sea World is famous for its killer whales, but there are many other attractions.
However, it gets very crowded, so be careful!
Sea: As mentioned in the extraordinary experience, the Pacific Ocean is right in front of you, so just looking at the sea is beautiful, and children will be delighted if they enter the sea.
Kamogawa Sea World: The famous Kamogawa Sea World is very close (within walking distance). Many people come to Kamogawa just for this experience, so if you like aquariums, you should definitely enjoy it!
Hot Springs: This is the annex of the high-class hot spring hotel Kamogawa-kan, connected by a secret door that only guests of La Shoro can use. You can use all the hot spring facilities and pools of Kamogawa-kan.
Sightseeing: Depending on the season, you can enjoy fruit picking or visit Mother Farm with a short drive.
Private Pool: With a private pool, the activities get the highest score.
6. Hot Springs/Bath (Rating: 5)
Kamogawa-kan’s Hot Springs: There are many types of hot spring baths, and the open-air bath in a carefully crafted forest-like space is very calming. You can enter even at midnight, so if you aim for a time when there are fewer people, like around 11 PM, you can almost have it all to yourself! It’s the best luxury. It’s amazing.
Bettei La Shoro’s Open-Air Bath: There is an open-air bath in the room that you can enter as easily as washing your hands. You can enter in the morning, after breakfast, after playing in the pool, after watching TV, and so on. The bath experience is flawless.
7. Facility (Rating: 5)
It’s very well-maintained. In a place with so much nature, I thought dirt and insects would be a concern, but it was really well-kept and perfect. Also, when you stay at Bettei La Shoro, you get a dedicated staff member, and the special lounge is very well-guided and polite. The lounge itself offers unique, health-conscious soups that are so delicious I drank several cups. Haha.
8. Food (Rating: 4)
The photos should convey how delicious it looks, so I won’t go into details! As expected of Kamogawa, the seafood is really luxurious and delicious! Abalone, sashimi platter, shrimp. Fresh and elegantly seasoned, you can thoroughly enjoy it. Moreover, you can have a private meal (apparently, if you stay as a couple, you can have room service), so you can enjoy it without worrying.
For breakfast, we chose room service. We had a luxurious time nibbling on breakfast while swimming in the pool and soaking in the bath. Of course, breakfast was delicious too (it’s delicious, but the fun is probably the breakfast buffet. Here, it depends on how much you want to use the pool and hot spring before checkout and how much you want to relax in the room. I think if you stay in this room, you would want room service).
If you want to stay at Kamogawa-kan, you can book from here.
