Toriizaki Club Sushi Auberge
8,3/10 Excellent - Based on 20 reviews
Toriizaki Club Sushi Auberge presents a deliberately small, food‑forward stay on Tokyo Bay in Kisarazu, operating under a “Sushi Auberge” concept that integrates an on‑site sushi counter with guest accommodation. The property is compact and intimate, with a limited number of rooms arranged to maximise bay views and, on clear days, sightlines to Mount Fuji; the layout and public spaces are designed to prioritise marine panoramas and a quiet, low‑rise neighbourhood feel. The facility is part of a local bay‑side development and emphasises seafood‑led dining alongside traditional ryokan touches.
Guest accommodation focuses on comfort and privacy: room types explicitly pair Mt. Fuji views with an in‑room private onsen and, in several packages, a sushi dinner served as part of the stay, making this a ryokan with private onsen in Kisarazu. Rooms commonly include en‑suite bathrooms, kettles, air conditioning, flat screens and complimentary Wi‑Fi, and some units open onto terraces that face the water. Reviews and room descriptions note an onsen water with a darker, smooth feel and highlight the convenience of booking suites that combine private bathing with counter‑seat sushi service.
Dining is the property’s defining element: a traditional sushi restaurant operates alongside a casual seafood restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and many stay options bundle evening kaiseki or sushi courses with overnight accommodation. Onsite amenities extend to a café, small leisure offerings such as simulation golf, terrace seating with pet‑friendly provisions in designated areas, free private parking and a shuttle service to nearby transport hubs. For travellers seeking an intimate, culinary‑led hot‑spring experience, this ryokan with private onsen in Chiba presents a compact, seaside alternative to larger onsen resorts.

Positive Reviews
Exceptional staff and service
Multiple guests praised very friendly, helpful staff who provided strong hospitality (assisting with luggage, arranging taxis, warm farewells and attentive front-desk service).
Excellent food — sushi dinner and breakfast
Guests repeatedly highlighted superb meals: a high-quality sushi/kaiseki dinner (often at the counter with the master chef) and a memorable breakfast featuring regional ingredients (asari clam miso soup, grilled fish, special sorbet, clay-pot rice).
Private in-room onsen and relaxing views
The private onsen in rooms was described as fabulous — pleasant texture and very relaxing — with memorable views across Tokyo Bay and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji from some rooms.
Spacious, clean rooms with ryokan atmosphere
Rooms were noted as clean, stylish and roomy, offering a comfortable ryokan-like experience and enough space to relax and spread out.
Quiet, charming location and good value
Many guests called the property a 'hidden gem' — a calm, off-the-beaten-path spot that felt special and offered good value for the quality of food, service and facilities.
Negative Reviews
Limited vehicle access and difficult luggage handling
Several guests reported that vehicles cannot reach the hotel entrance, making it hard to move luggage; this caused inconvenience even though staff often helped.
Elevator problems at times
At least one guest noted the elevator was not working during their stay, requiring staff to carry heavy luggage up stairs and creating extra effort.
Unpleasant taste/odor in meal water for some guests
One guest reported that the water served with meals had an unpleasant smell or aftertaste, detracting from the dining experience.
Mixed feedback on dinner quality
While many praised the dinner (especially the sushi), one reviewer said the evening meal was not good, indicating occasional variability in guest experience.
Relatively remote / longer travel time from Tokyo
A few guests mentioned the location is a bit off the beaten path and can take nearly two hours by train from Tokyo, which may be inconvenient for some travellers.
