Hostel Perch

A ryokan in the Sawada area that has been in business for about 100 years. It is close to Sawada Beach, which can be seen from the rooms, and can be reached in swimsuits. Currently, the ryokan is open only for overnight stays with no meals. For this reason, the inn has stopped serving home-cooked meals and introduces guests to nearby restaurants such as kappo restaurants that use local ingredients in abundance. Another attraction is the beautiful sunset.

Iseya Shinkan is a minshuku-style inn (Japanese-style B&B) perfect for holidays and business. The inn welcomes holiday and business travellers with hospitality and is suitable for mid and long-term stays. Iseya Shinkan is located in the Sawata Shopping Street and a beach is also in the neighbourhood. The dinner menu is focused on seasonal seafood landed in Sado, and can be enjoyed in the dining room on site or at "Sakuraya", a sister tapas bar.

Sawata Beach is just a 2-minute walk from the Kawaharada's Shopping Street. Nestled in Mano Bay, the beach is shallow and the waters are calm. It is conveniently located in the central area of Sado with an easy access to other parts in Sado, and attracts many beachgoers during the high season. There is a range of restaurants and accommodation within walking distance, so this area can be a perfect base for sightseeing in Sado. There is a free campsite, Kubota Campround, in an adjoining pine grove.

Nakazawaya Ryokan has a long history of over 100 years in the Sawata area. At the entrance, Bunya Puppets and Noh Theatre masks, created by the Okami's (female manager) grandfather, provide a distinctively Sado atmosphere. Walking down the front street, sea breezes will draw you to the sea. This ideal location enjoys popularity for both business and leisure. Meals prepared with concern for health are especially appreciated among long-stay visitors.

Petit Doll has a great reputation for its sourdough bread and sweets produced from locally sourced ingredients. Their original sweets made with a focus on Sado-sourced rice powder, dairy produce and fruit are a perfect gift and souvenir to take back home. In particular, "Shima (Island) Cheesecake", an excellent sweet which won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize, and "Okesa Potato", which is made from sweet potatoes grown using reduced chemicals, are classic sweets in Sado. There is also a café corner on site.

The cafe attracts regular customers who seek a place to relax during lunchtime and teatime. The ample selection of food menu including spaghetti, Japanese curry, noodles, set meals, sandwiches, desserts, etc and drinks have established its great reputation. A sizzling home-made burger steak served on an iron plate is especially recommended. Home-grown rice is also popular for its delicious flavour.

Located by the sea, Akachochin serves ramen noodles, set meals and rice bowls, as well as DIY yakiniku (grilled meat), all of which enjoy popularity. Many customers find it easy to pop in during their motorcycle tours and drives, as there is a large parking lot available right in front of the restaurant. If you are in the neighborhood, please visit us! We look forward to serving you soon.
