Ikata Homestays

Ebisuya Ryokan is a Japanese inn located in Misaki, Ikata Town, Nishiuwa District, Ehime Prefecture. On this day, I stopped by roadside station Ikata Kirarakan. From there, we drove to Ebisuya Ryokan. At first, I didn't know where to park, so I parked on the street and went to Ebisuya Ryokan on foot. The parking lot was in the open area behind the building. It's not paved, but it's wide enough. Take your luggage from here and go around the building. Rainy days are tough. The exterior looks like a nostalgic Japanese inn. There are stairs immediately after entering, and you will be guided to the second floor. This time I stayed in Room 1 at the back of the second floor. It's a corner room with a window across the aisle. It's 8 tatami mats, but it's a main room, so it's wide. Equipped with air conditioner, TV, refrigerator, and electric kettle (air type!!). Brew some tea and take a break. There is not only Japanese tea but also a coffee set, so there is nothing to say. Wifi is a little disappointing. I couldn't use it for work because it was slow and choppy. Since the toilet and bath are shared, I decided to leave my luggage and go to the bath. There is a common space at the stairs. There is a retro audio set of tube amplifiers and jazz is playing. Then there is the vending machine. Toilets are shared, one for men and one for men. Of course, it is a flush, warm water toilet seat. On top of the chest of drawers, there are decorations that foreigners seem to like. Down these stairs is the bathroom. The stairs are narrow and steep, which is normal in this day and age. The bathroom is a family bath that is used by turns. It's not large, but it's enough for a family of four. After slowly soaking in the bath, we headed for Cape Sada. After returning from sightseeing at Sadamisaki, it was the long-awaited dinner. Dinner is taken in the dining room next to the stairs. First, octopus nut and bonito tataki. When I thought it was for 2 people when I got a bowl of sashimi, it was for 1 person (surprise) Chawanmushi with sea urchin. Boiled horse mackerel. The taste of horse mackerel, which is called ”Seki mackerel” when caught on the Kyushu side, is very satisfying. I also ordered Japanese sake. Also grilled turban shell. The closing is rice ball chazuke with namero. I was so full that it hurt. Breakfast is served in the same dining room. I was surprised to see a huge grilled turnip in the morning. There were so many items that I couldn't eat them all (although I ate them) I checked out and moved on. A ryokan where you can enjoy the retro atmosphere of the early Showa period. The shoji screens in the room are torn, the walls are full of holes, the glass is chipped, and the windows are poorly installed. Equipment is old. If you can accept that kind of thing, you'll enjoy it. Best of all, the food is great. A ryokan where you can enjoy seafood.
