Hillside Inn Sirocco Tateyama

Review by hotel critic

As a culinary critic hailing from Beijing, I’ve developed a passion for uncovering exceptional experiences that cater to both the senses and the mind. I particularly appreciate accommodations that offer free parking, a peaceful ambiance, and the pleasure of an open-air bath. During my recent stay at a charming pension in Tateyama, I was delighted to discover that it ticked all my boxes and more. Nestled amidst a serene garden, this lovely retreat provided not only comfortable, well-appointed rooms but also the luxury of relaxation in their inviting outdoor spa. The intimate western-style breakfast, enhanced with a subtle Japanese touch, was prepared with care, accommodating my requests perfectly. The warmth and hospitality of the owners, despite a language barrier, made my experience all the more enchanting. Their attentive recommendations for local sights and dining further enriched my visit. I left with a deep sense of satisfaction and a longing to return.
