Hotel Oosado

The hotel was spotless, and we really enjoyed our stay with services like the foot bath, welcome drinks in the lobby, a piano performance upon request in the evening, bus transfers to the illuminated Sado Gold Mine (Kitazawa Flotation Plant), and delicious 'oinarisan' (fried tofu stuffed with sushi rice) as a late-night snack. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a great selection of seafood from the Sea of Japan. Unfortunately, it was raining when we viewed the Sea of Japan from the hot spring, which was a shame. But we'd definitely love to come back again.

The open-air bath facing the sea offered amazing views, and the room's location was superb. We really enjoyed the free night tour and piano performance, and the starry sky was beautiful. The breakfast buffet had a fantastic selection of Sado local dishes and sashimi, all of which were delicious. We were absolutely delighted with this hotel!

Even my small requests were met. 🙇♂️ Everyone was so kind and helpful, I'm so grateful! It was a facility I'd love to stay at again. Thank you so much.

The room was incredibly small, the bed was incredibly small and soft, and the window wouldn't open for ventilation. I didn't sleep well the entire night. Dinner was terrible. The half crab they served was incredibly thin, probably a discard.

Osado Seaview Hot Spring Hotel Located on the cape on the southwest side of Sado Island, it has ample parking space and great views. You can enjoy the sunset and the Sea of ​​Japan. The check-in staff is friendly and detailed, and there are many special services that can be reserved. There are welcome drinks in the lobby from 3pm to 6pm, local cultural performances at 7:15pm, free shuttle buses to the Sado Kinzan ruins to enjoy the light show at 8pm or 9:30pm, and free midnight snacks (Inari sushi) at 10pm. Quite a variety of resources, you can come to the lobby to use/reservation if you need. This time I stayed in a tatami room. Although there is no own shower space, the space is very spacious and should be able to accommodate up to six people. Some facilities look a little old, but small places are still noticed, such as small stickers for writing names on slippers, new heating kettles for snacks and drinks, and multiple USB connectors for charging extension cords, which are very considerate. The mattress will be laid in the evening, and it feels older. Some quilts feel a bit old, and the pillows only feel hard and a bit flat. The air conditioning in the room is a little inconvenient to adjust. Sometimes it is too hot and sometimes it is too cold. I have to get up and adjust it again when I go to bed at night. It is recommended to update the air conditioning system. The public hot spring is on the first floor. There are not many people around 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening and around 9 o'clock on weekends. There are semi-open-air hot spring pools, oven saunas, and water baths. Towels are provided, so you don't have to bring your own. There are also many shampoos to choose from, and the lotions and cleaning products provided are also very good👍🏻 The breakfast options are very diverse, with many local ingredients (Sado milk🥛, Sado fried yellowtail, etc.) The most recommended seafood bowl🍱, you can freely match salmon, tuna, fresh shrimp, salmon* and other seafood, very delicious! The restaurant staff are also very friendly.

The location was very good, and the staff were generally friendly. But the food was not tasty. I was recommended to buy some Niigata rice, especially Sado rice, because it's delicious, but the rice tasted terrible. Maybe it wasn't cooked properly. It looked good, though. The rice sold at restaurants in town was delicious. But this is what I expected for 50,000 yen per person during the Obon festival...

No matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong! It's a shame the sauna was broken!
