This place is great. You will love it. Taka and Mo are unbeatable hosts or innkeepers. It is located in a beautiful residential neighborhood walking distance to the Jogasaki Coast, and Taka's morning tour of the Jogasaki is breath-taking. Beautiful scenery, informative guide (Taka), and a good hike. Mo makes an excellent and healthy breakfast every morning with high class coffee and tea . . . Only the best. You will want to stay here again. I will. It's an 8-minute walk to the Izu-Kogen train station and a 1 to 4 minute walk to a number of restaurants down museum road.

Our host was very communicative, and wanted to get to know us. He took us on a morning walk at 6:30 AM to see the coastline, and was very knowledgable about the area. The location was excellent: very close to the train station (8 min walk) but still in a residential area. There are a lot of quirky museums nearby, and the coast was only about 15-20 minutes away.

The room was just a bit cramped: the was another trundle bed up against the wall, so with 3 twin beds side by side there wasn't much room left. Also, there was a large (harmless) spider that we ended up catching and releasing. We saw another downstairs, so I think it's safe to say they are just part of the area, and you should be prepared to face them in any home around izu-kogen. About the area itself: we went to see the Illumination show at the Izu Granpal park and struggled to get a taxi home, which was stressful. Our host was unable to pick us up, and the park employees had to help us.

very clean and room is spacious. location is good and can walk from the station, the road is kind of up and down and not 100% easy when you are with a luggage but it's still ok. owner the couple they are really nice and friendly, he invites the guests to the morning walking which is really good place and has a beautiful view. i had dinner at their house too the it's BBQ and the food is really nice. will stay again if i visit the place again.

nothing.

Super friendly host/owner who can communicate well in English. His morning walking tour is worth getting up for. Had great recommendations for places to eat and visit. Was able to tailor breakfast for vegetarians, too. The room was clean and while I have a mold allergy didn't have any issues here (many old hotels/homes in Japan aren't good for me). The aircon was a high-end Fujitsu model that you don't see very often in lodging and it did a great job.

Depending on how many people are staying in the two rooms could be waits for the shared toilet and bathroom.

We went during February and it was very enjoyable despite not being the summer, so I definitely recommend also going during the winter season. Everything was very clean, the breakfast was very good, the property was very pretty and the host very nice and made a lot of recommendations! The station was 10 minutes away from the house! The owner also took us to take a walk to Jogosaki trails and it was very pretty! I definitely recommend this stay!

Izu-kogen is a beautiful place and Takamune-san and his wife are loveable host. At my arrival I was welcomed with a bbq-dinner which was amazingly good (even way too much for just one person). The breakfast is western and made by Takamune's wife, I enjoyed it thoroughly, they make sure you've got everything you need. If Takamune-san invites you on a morning walk, be sure to accept, because it's a beautiful walk and he might share some information about his ancestors, which I found really interesting!

Everything was perfect, from the bedroom, to breakfast and dinner was amazing. We enjoyed every moment of our stay here. The owners were really kind, showing us places to visit, taking us to a nice morning walk to the coast. The grill dinner, you definitely need to book it, its worth the money!!!

Nothing

The house owner is amiable and his English level is very high, so not only I got a great meal and room experience here, I also got lots of info from the house's owner, which made my trip more colorful. Thanks for providing and sharing such a good house and all the advice. ps. better to not hire a bike here to the omuro yama（大室山）,　it may be kinda risky if you don't have good energy or experience.

The breakfast was wonderful and the kind host took us on a great hike for sunrise. Easy walk to the train and bus to access the zoo and amusement park. So many beautiful early sakura blooming. I would love to visit again.

Nothing. We were very satisfied with everything.

I think it’s quite difficult to pull luggage to get here, cuz there’s too many hills to climb. But the view around it is so amazing and the host is nice. My favorite part is going hiking in the morning with host and delicious breakfast!
