Hama no Miyabitei Ichii

Hama no Miyabitei Ichii stands directly beside Chidorigahama Beach in Osatsu, with all 48 Japanese rooms facing the Pacific. The uninterrupted outlook is the property’s essential luxury: waves and changing light are present from the room, while selected categories add a private outdoor bath.

Dinner brings together the better-known products of Mie—seasonal Ise lobster, abalone, Matsusaka beef, and conger eel. Meals can be served in the room, preserving a more traditional pace than the building’s size might suggest. The catch and seasonal produce provide a broad introduction to the region’s cooking.

The public baths use simple alkaline water brought from Sakakibara Onsen. The beach outlook is the bath’s strongest feature. Ichii works best for travelers who want the beach directly outside, a classic tatami room, and a generous Mie dinner, with onsen as part of the stay rather than its sole purpose.
