Gar-chan rescued in front of the inn
Official website says that Futagojimasou became an inn with cats when the previous cat, Kofuku, moved in. Ga-chan is a cat who was rescued when she was crying in front of an inn when she was small, and taken in by Kofuku.
In the facility comments for 2026, he is described as a spoiled child who walks around the front desk, takes naps in the office, and even sits on people’s laps. It is classified as B because there is current information about interacting with people in common areas. Guest-room visits cannot be confirmed.
Whether we can meet or not depends on Gar-chan
Gar-chan is not always at the front desk. There are times when I am off at the office, so I may not be able to meet you. Please do not enter the office to see the cat or interfere with front desk operations, and follow the staff’s instructions.
If a cat approaches you, do not feed it or pick it up, but watch it for a short time. If you have a cat allergy, please check the flow to the guest room and dining venue in advance.
Guest room with ocean view in all rooms
Official guest room information mainly lists Japanese-style rooms with a view of the Saikazaki coast, but also rooms with two-room suites and beds. Each room has a different size and facilities, so choose according to the number of people and bedding.
The building is a seaside inn that has been around since the Showa era, and it is clearly stated that the basic structure is not completely barrier-free. There is an entrance ramp and handrails, but if you need consideration for movement, please consult the inn before making a reservation.
Open-air bath overlooking the sea and fish dishes
From the open-air bath, you can see the Kitan Strait and Awaji Island. The sunset view is a major attraction of the inn, but the view changes depending on the weather.
Taking advantage of our location near Saikazaki Fishing Port and Wakaura Fishing Port, our meals focus on prepared seafood and boat-plated dishes. Please check each plan for the food content, dining venue, and allergy support.

The location is 599 Saigasaki, Wakayama City. The official website states that it is approximately 15 minutes by car from Wakayama city. Public transportation and transportation conditions change depending on the season and plan, so please check in advance if you are not using a car.
