Ultimate Ocean Front Luxury: A Review of ZEKUU Hot Spring Hotel in South Chiba, Japan

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of waves caressing the shore, the salty breeze of the ocean filling your lungs with freshness, and the promise of an unforgettable day ahead. This is precisely the experience that awaits you at ZEKUU, the ultimate seaside hotel nestled in the serene beauty of South Chiba, Japan, a stone's throw away from the bustling Narita International Airport.

Location

Zekuu is situated in the southern part of the Chiba peninsula in Japan, in close proximity to Narita Tokyo International Airport ( it may be a bit confusing, as the international airport is named "Tokyo" despite being in Chiba prefecture, which borders Tokyo).

You can get there by a 2-3 hour drive from the airport, with three main highways connecting to the area. Opting for one of these highways will take you along the Pacific coast, adding an extra 30 minutes to your journey but allowing you to enjoy a scenic drive along the coastline.

How It Looks...

Don't you love this?

Upon entering...this will be waiting for you.

You will be invited to the ocean front wait area to check-in. A staff will bring a check-in form for you so that you can write down your name, address, and phone number, while enjoying the ocean view.

A Room With a View

This is the view from our room. Stunning.

Picture this - your luxurious hotel room at ZEKUU that is not just a room but a sanctuary. Every detail meticulously designed to offer you the utmost comfort and tranquility.

The room boasts a private bathroom, equipped with a range of high-quality amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body soap, facial toner, moisturizer, toothbrushes and even razors – ensuring your every need is catered to.

The true gem of this room lies beyond its walls – a balcony overlooking the vast expanse of the ocean, inviting you to lose yourself in the mesmerizing beauty of nature. The balcony, furnished with two cozy seats, is the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of tea or simply bask in the breathtaking views it offers.

Moreover, the special room is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with two comfortable beds and futons available based on the size of your group, ensuring that everyone has ample space to relax and unwind after a day of exploration.

We were a party of 5 at the time and the room was pretty spacious!

Taking a Bath at Ocean Front

Now, after check-in, the Japanese typically go to a public bath. In case you are shy to be naked in front of other guests, ZEKUU has a private bath you can book upon check-in, and you can use this ocean front bath to yourself (or with your family) for an entire hour.

For those who are more outgoing, this is the main bathroom that everyone uses. It is an indoor bath. I envision creating an outdoor bath right in front where the lawn is located. It will be awesome!

Culinary Delights

At ZEKUU, the experience doesn't stop at just luxurious accommodation and dream-come-true experience of submerged in hot spring at ocean front; it extends to culinary delights that will tantalize your taste buds.

When evening descends, prepare yourself for a gastronomic journey as you are treated to a delectable dinner showcasing an array of fresh seafood delicacies. From the catch of the day to exotic marine treasures, each dish is a testament to the hotel's commitment to quality and excellence.

And fret not, even the youngest guests are well taken care of with kid-friendly meal options designed especially for pre-schoolers.

The dinner venue, with its ocean-front view, adds a touch of magic to the dining experience. As you savor your meal, the sun setting over the horizon bathes the surroundings in a warm glow, creating a picturesque backdrop that enhances the flavors of the food and elevates your dining experience to a whole new level.

In conclusion, my experience at ZEKUU was nothing short of enchanting, a fusion of seaside serenity, luxury accommodation, and culinary excellence that left an indelible mark on my heart.
