About
Hotel Ofutei in Tomonoura Onsen, situated in the charming port town that inspired Studio Ghibli's "Ponyo," offers 44 guest rooms across six different types—all featuring commanding ocean views—from luxurious suites with Jacuzzi baths to rooms with private open-air onsen baths. The property boasts an impressive array of bathing options, including sea-facing gender-segregated large public baths with open-air sections, two gender-segregated open-air baths on the rooftop (though some guests note these are positioned close together with limited privacy between them), and two rental open-air baths for private use—all offering spectacular ocean scenery. Visitors consistently praise the lovely furnished interior, excellent food featuring ingredients from the Seto Inland Sea (served either in the cabin restaurant or in-room), child-friendly service, and the calming views that create a luxury experience worth revisiting, though first-time guests are advised "not to be scared when you see the hotel from outside" as the exterior may not fully reflect the quality within
