Minamichita Utsumi Onsen "Sumie Chita"

Sumie Chita is an 18-room, adults-only inn beside Chidorigahama, designed for guests who want quiet and few decisions once they arrive. The all-inclusive format, sea-facing spaces, lounge, and restrained room count create a more composed retreat than a conventional beach hotel.

The rooftop Tenjo no Yu bath looks over the water and sunset, supported by a sodium-calcium chloride spring. Private baths broaden the bathing program beyond the rooftop soak. The experience is strongest in the way the sea remains visible from the upper-level bath.

Chef Motofumi Kinoshita leads a seasonal dinner served at tables in the dining room. Chita seafood anchors the menu, while the presentation is contemporary rather than a traditional in-room nakai service. Sumie Chita is best for couples seeking an easy, polished coastal escape with a substantial bath circuit and an evening centered on local food.
