Hotel New Sagamiya

You notice the sweet smell of tatami as you enter the room---very traditional Japanese style spacious room with a beautiful ocean view. We stayed here for two nights and got up early to see the sunrise in which the sun rises over the horizon. At night you can see the water reflecting the bright moon light and creating a "moon road." Spa was great. Other than the big baths, they have three smaller free open-air baths which are available to those who are staying there. When you use it, you can lock it up and have it all to yourself. It is great for couples and families. We listened to the waves as we dipped in the warm onsen up on the top floor---so relaxing. Food was delicious. They can cater to some of your needs in terms of likes, dislikes, food allergies, etc. We decided to have every meal in our room, so it was private and comfortable. You can choose to do so although it costs a bit more. Dinner and breakfast are served as very traditional Japanese style. Dinner is a big course meal. They did serve us different fish and other delicacies for two nights we stayed, but that was probably the limit for us since it was a lot of food. We would love to stay at New Sagamiya again. It's proximity to Tokyo is a big plus. I highly recommend this place as a weekend getaway from a city.
