I stayed here because it was the only place in town for my budget, and yeah its pretty far from the trainstation and most resturants, but i had no problem taking a 25 min walk. The place had really nice staff that even let me borrow a bike. And my room was very big and clean. And there was even a little hot bath.

I had 2 problems. The pillow was extremly hard. Even for japanese standards. And there was really not a cover for my window. So i got that morning sun shining in my room at 6.30 in the morning🙃

There's a convenience store a short walk away. The owner was also kind enough to let us check out very early in order to catch the first ferry of the day. The owner was also very kind and really curious about Americans, so it was funny to try teaching him about American things.

It's very far from any restaurants or bars. Breakfast must be purchased before reserving the room. We discovered too late that we couldn't buy it at the same time as check-in. It's best for a single night stay or for convenience to the ferry port terminal.

We booked this place because it was close to the ferry to Ogi on Sado island. However, when we arrived we found out that the ferry was cancelled for the next day due to high winds. The owner of the guest house went above and beyond: he called the ferry ticket company and rebooked our tickets to leave from Niigata, and looked up the train schedules to get there. He served us dinner and breakfast on short notice. We were able to travel to the other ferry dock the next day and get to Sado Island because of his help. He was kind, efficient, and spoke enough English to communicate. We will always be grateful.

Ryosou Minatosou is a traditional family-run inn next to the Naoetsu ferry port. Very conveniently located for anyone planning to hop on the 07:10h ferry to Sado. I’d recommend booking meals because there aren’t many food options nearby, especially in the evening. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff is very attentive and friendly.

The staff was talkative and helpful, the room was spacious and clean, location to me was good.

Shower room wasn't clean as it is a shared space, it was difficult to get the right water temperature and the water pressure was weak.

Lovely staff, even though we checked in fairly late they were thorough and kind.

A little bit old and if you are not taking the ferry it could be a little out of the way.

The location is perfect if you are looking for a place to stay that is right next to the ferry port.

The futon and pillow were very uncomfortable and you could easily hear other people opening and closing their doors.

The location is a bit far away from the train station. The host was really nice even though I arrived late.

The hotel is less than 5 mins away from the ferry terminal to sado island. The owner is very friendly and the bath was really good.

I was given an extremely big room that can fit at least 6-8 people. But as a solo traveller in such a big room, it can agoraphobia for me.

Excellent location if you intend to take the early ferry to Sado Island. Rooms are spacious and bath facilities were an unexpected surprise. Overall clean.

If you intend to do anything other than move to Sado Island, it's a bit out of the way. Not many restaurants or bars within easy walking distance of the location.
