Tabira, Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture

Samson Hotel Hirado Tabira Nagomi-no-Yu

A strong choice for a drive to Hirado when you want sea views, a natural spring and a sauna in one visit. The hotel shuttle is for overnight guests, so day visitors need to plan their own last leg if travelling without a car.
