Hotel Nankaisou

Hotel Nankaiso is a great base for sightseeing, with popular spots such as Nojimazaki Lighthouse and Cape Nojimazaki within walking distance. The exterior evokes the good old Showa era, but the guest rooms have been renovated and are very clean. Because the hotel faces a rocky coastline, the views from the windows are also excellent. Inside the building, you’ll find facilities that strongly recall Showa nostalgia, such as table tennis and air hockey, as well as a modern singing lounge called “Amauta,” surrounded by wall designs inspired by the sea—irresistible for those who love retro vibes. During the summer vacation season only, an outdoor pool opens, making it recommended for families with small children before their first full ‘sea debut.’ In the main dining restaurant “Hamayu,” you can enjoy a spacious ocean-view setting while eating a “Seafood Grill & Seasonal Vegetable Buffet” featuring Minamiboso ingredients. At breakfast, the recommended item is “Aji no Hiraki” (dried horse mackerel) that you grill yourself at your seat. Access is about 30 minutes by the hotel’s free shuttle bus from JR Tateyama Station.
