Sado Resort Hotel Azuma

We stayed in a shiny new room after renovation. The newly renovated room we stayed in was not ready for a bathtub, so we only had a shower in the room. They were kind enough to offer us the outdoor bath, which is usually paid for, for free, so we went to the outdoor bath ♨️ However, the building for the paid outdoor bath was about 100 meters away from the hotel itself, and the system involved moving around outside without a roof in room slippers and a yukata. It was a blizzard outside that day, and the snow was sticky under our feet... It was dark outside, and we were given a small lantern, so we walked in the dark, into the snow. On the way to the outdoor bath in the rain... my slippers suddenly got stuck in the cold mud and both my feet were soaked 😱 cold 🥶 The outdoor bath itself was a beautifully constructed bath ♨️ built in a separate location, with a spectacular view below, but on the way back, of course, both my room slippers and feet got stuck in the cold, snow-covered mud and sand, and they were squishy, ​​squishy, ​​icy 🥶 and rattling :(；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'): I immediately went into the large public bath in the main hotel building to warm up my cold body again. I think it's a building built 100 meters away from the main hotel building, with the outdoor bath as the priority, with a view in mind, so I felt it would be more valuable to make it possible to move there safely and comfortably. For example, renting out rain boots on rainy or snowy days... installing footlights to guide the way to the open-air bath♨️ building... I think information about the special open-air bath♨️ (for a fee) is a must. It's a real shame considering it's such a great facility.

特筆すべきは広大な庭から眺める夕陽。海に沈む夕陽は東日本からは見ることはできない。素晴らしかった。朝はヨガがあったり、夜は佐渡おけさの体験が出来たりと色々とイベントがあっていい。露天風呂は小さいがこちらからも夕陽が望める。朝食だけ付けて夕食は近くの相川町でと思っていたが、これがなかなか厳しかった。googleに載っているのとは営業時間が変わっていたり、そもそも選択肢が少ない。早めに予約した方無難。朝食ブュッフェも悪くなかった。全体的に満足。
