Great location by Maehama beach, and although the main part of the beach is a 10 minute walk, it's a nice stroll next to the sea. The room and hotel was clean with large windows making it light and giving that holiday feel. The main town is about 10 - 15 minutes away by taxi and costs under 2,000 JPY. The staff were helpful booking taxis and reserving rental cycles which only cost 1,100 JPY for one day. I stayed in early September when the area was quiet and weather still hot and sunny
