The rooms in the resort are traditional with tatami mats and futons to sleep on. At night the table you see in the center is moved to the side and they make your beds there. Rooms can fit about four people.
There is a system of trails that loop around the resort to a shrine, various lookouts, a small garden and the beach. The trails went up rocky hills with either wooden staircases or dirt/gravel trails. There were a lot of different types of ferns. Japansese Grass Lizards were somewhat frequent but I didn't see any other reptile out during the day.

The small garden just below the resort is quite simple but nice. It has a picnic area, some sections of open grass and a small pond that had one lonely American Bullfrog in it at night.
The beach had a lot of interesting flora along the edge of it. It was quite empty at this time of year but I imagine since they have huge parking lots and a large facility down there that is get much busier during the summer.

The only people out on the beach besides us that day were fishing and the ocean was extremely calm. I still have yet to see the ocean on a rough day in Japan.
The area was quite good for biring and I saw Carrion Crow, Osprey, Oriental Greenfinch, Japanese Tit, Pied Wagtail, Varied Tit, House Sparrow and Black-eared Kite just on a short loop walk.

A walk at night was surprisingly extremely quiet with only one gecko on a building down by the beach. Even the small pond only had one American Bullfrog and it was not even calling. It had been quite dry and hot so many a bit of rain would liven the area up a bit for the nigh hours.
