It is rare to find a place that is still following the Eastern Asian philosophy about the sea, where the beach is not playing as a protagonist, where the waves, mountains, and pine trees stand together to illustrate the tradition that is about to be forgotten. This is a quiet lovely place located next to a fish port in front of a steep mountain wall, almost like the setup from an ancient tale about The Peach Blossom Spring. going down this road, you could walk to the famous Jyogasaki coast. there will be no convenience store or such, better to buy some before going if you need anything. The location is quite far away from the stations, it will take 30 mins to get there on foot. The good news is that the hotel will offer free shuffle. Here is the hotel, there are 2 giant Chinese lion statues in front of the place, which is a surprise, The room is very spacious, the bed is comfortable, and there is nothing to complain about, There will be some bugs and Insects, but treat these guests friendly. you can have your private bay right next to the balcony. soaking in the outdoor bath while listening to the song of the sea, and watching the pine tree touching the sky. feels like the time has slowed down in this little bay where you can finally chill a bit. The food is decent and highly recommended, and both breakfast and dinners are up to expectations. all the staff are very friendly so it will be a joyful experience overall. If you like diving and fishing, there are several locations around the hotel to allow you to do that, and you could rent the gear from the local diving equipment store. Overall it is worth the price, and if you like to have quality time with family, this would be one of your best choices in the area.

well, several things I wanna bring up 1. The photo and the room types do not match, they put all the rooms with outdoor baths under the same category but only used one of the best rooms to present. but in reality, each room is different, the size of the bath, the layout of the room, the view from the room, etc. It is a bit stretching to claim they are all the same room type. I think maybe a better practice would be to list each room as a separate option on the booking sites, which is more common for boutique resorts. 2. The room is spacious, but also a bit empty. maybe add one piece of furniture such as a sofa or something, but this is purely subjective.

Albeit a bit old, Isana is nice and quiet. We had a room with our own onsen on the balcony. Very nice. There is also a large onsen which you can reserve. We were overlook the sea which is a very short walk away. Staff were very helpful. We were fortunate to have Japanese friends who live in Izu and who took us around. Izu is an historical place. It is difficult to stay in Isana if you have no transport. The resort has few meal options, and any shop or restaurant is quiet a distance away.

We did not understand the meal options. Dinners can be booked at the resort but they look like very large meals with many dishes. They are also quite expensive. Similarly the breakfast options are not clear.

The location was on the shoreline and from our room you could hear the waves which gave a relaxing feeling. There was no traffic noise, quite and semi secluded. The staff was great. The dinner was amazing the presentation of our meal was very nice and we compliment the chef for his outstanding ability, breakfast was also great. We totally enjoyed our stay and we are planning for another stay soon. We would highly recommend Isana Rsort to our friends and anyone looking for a great place to relax and recharge themselves. We would like to compliment the front desk/bellhop/waiter/chauffeur Mr. Hirai ( 平井光さん)for his exceptional service

There was nothing we didn’t like.😍

We had a lovely stay at ISANA Premium Suite. The suite was spacious, and we were fortunate to witness a perfect sunrise from our private terrace. The starry nights were unforgettable. Although the private onsen was small, it was awesome. The staff were very helpful, especially Vivian, who was very attentive to our needs. She provided detailed introductions to each course during dinner and breakfast, and we enjoyed every dish. We appreciate the dedication of the chef (the owner) and felt blessed to stay at this hotel. We will definitely come back. Thank you, Vivian, for the live performance of Canon in D. ISANA is just a 5-minute drive from Jogasaki Coast, making it a perfect location.

The suite is so spacious that it can be easy to misplace things and difficult to find them again.

The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was the biggest highlight for us. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay special and memorable. For example before we arrived they proactively reached out to check whether whether there was anything they could help prepare for us, and when I told them we were coming to celebrate my partners birthday, they offered to prepare welcome champagne on arrival which was so thoughtful. They also offered an opportunity to upgrade our room, which we gladly accepted. The room was unbelievable - panoramic views of the ocean, private outdoor onsen and really comfortable bedding. In addition to the private onsen, the staff let us know that guests could reserve time to privately use the hotels larger onsen on ground floor. This onsen was also lovely and a totally different experience and vibe, so we felt appreciative to be able to experience that privately too. The building is a little older but has been maintained extremely well. We found it to be very clean and full of charm. The breakfast was outstanding, showcasing a range of different Japanese techniques and cuisine. It was definitely one of our favourite dining experiences even after 5 weeks of travelling in Japan! Coffee delicious too. This was a really wonderful stay for us in all respects. An especially big thank you to the staff. Highly highly highly recommend.

Absolutely the best service we received in Japan! Vivian and the gentlemen who drove us to the Futo station and the convenience store were lovely. Private onsen in the bedroom was amazing, which we used multiple times a day! They also have a bigger private onsen that you can book for 40 minutes just to yourself. The Japanese Breakfast was immaculate and the chef speaks English fluently.

It is very hard to navigate around the area if you didn’t come with a car. Lack of food options, no convenience stores around. We were charged extra for the breakfast which confused us a bit because our booking included breakfast, but we are trying to solve this now.

We had a wonderful stay at the Isana Resort. The rooms are fairly simple but with great individual open air hot tubs with soothing mineral spring water. What stood out the most were the wonderful staff who work there and the most amazing meals we had in our entire trip. Chef Hide Kurosawa is a young energetic chef with talent beyond his years. His Maui roots gave us islanders an instant connection with him. The food was sublime; a French Japanese fusion of amazing flavors with the freshest of ingredients. The dining room has a display of the wagyu beef aging and local fish drying. Both dinner and breakfast were fantastic. The staff, especially Vivian, was so welcoming and accommodating. Vivian’s English is terrific and she was so service oriented and cheerful always. We felt like we were visiting long lost relatives. The resort is on a cliff side overlooking the ocean adjacent to small winding streets and the coastal road. We had a car, which made the stay there more convenient as it would be more difficult to tour the gorgeous Jagosaki Coast without wheels. There is nothing in the world like lying in mineralized hot spring water, looking at the stars and hearing the sound of the waves. In addition to our room’s hot tub we could reserve the private onsen for use and it was never busy.

The room could be configured and furnished better, maybe with clothes hooks or pegs so clothing can be hung up. We ended up using the wooden decorative room divider as clothes hanging niches. Garments don’t really fit in the armoire, which is more decorative than functional. We would have loved a water source to refill water bottles for our day treks and evenings. Otherwise, our enjoyment of the people and food outweighed any inconvenience!

This property exceeded our expectations due to the staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Vivian was very hospitable and accommodating, and such a talented pianist! Chef Hide Kurokawa's culinary creations were extraordinary. The freshly caught fish entrees were a work of art and Chef's in-house aged A5 Wagyu beef was over the top! His restaurant deserves a Michelin star!

The bartender could benefit from learning some basic American cocktail recipes. We ordered bourbon old fashions and they were stumped as to what goes in it. We were handed whiskey on the rocks :) Other than that, everything else was great!

The whole experience was terrific! The staff from the resort was really patient and helpful, also speaks good English. They picked up us from Futo station for several times, even though in the late night. We booked the dinner but we were late, the staff waited us and served the dinner in our room, which is very touched and thoughtful. The spa was clean and comfortable. Everything is perfect in this resort.

Nothing to complain. Only thing worth to mention is the dinner needs to be booked in advance. Otherwise nothing to eat in the resort. The dinner is highly recommended!

This cozy hotel is located right next to the ocean which is exceptionally beautiful. The private semi open onsen in room is amazing. You can relax in the natural hot spring anytime you prefer while listening to the wave. The room is good size for a couple of 2 with very comfortable beds. The hotel provides personal service. All hotel staff are very helpful and cheerful. Vivian did a great job welcoming us to our room, explaining every detail on hotel facilities, meal arrangement etc. She also served meals and explained each food item to us. Thank you Vivian! Loved both the breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food presentation, menu design, the quality are all exceptional.

Nothing. Everything is meeting my expectation.
