Glad I read reviews after booking as they made me worried but it was actually a great place. It's an old school Japansese ryokan, yes it could do with some renovations but it wasn't smelly or dirty and I found the setup pleasant and enjoyable. We had the room with a spa on the patio which was amazing, food was really good though it is very Japanese so can be a bit much for those not used to it. Staff were very friendly and warm we really appreciated the service and kindness. Multiple onsens both private and public, nice outdoor rock baths very relaxing and quiet. In short if you like a classic, warm and comfy Japanese style ryokan then don't hesitate to book it's a lovely place.

Very little just that some areas could do with updating.

The hotel grounds were excellent. We never left the compound for two days while we relaxed on our private deck with our own onsen and garden. The room was spacious and traditional. The kaiseki set menu food was awesome. There was an English speaking staff assigned to attend us and she did an excellent job, as did her colleagues, of making us welcome. Even though we were reluctant to leave our sanctuary we did reserve time in a private onsen facing the forest and really enjoyed it. Lovely time out in the gardens enjoying the sunshine in our yukata. Best hotel experience on our trip.

We were more than pleasantly surprised by this stay. The hotel is very traditional and surrounded by beautiful nature. You can easily walk to the beach and enjoy the great views of the mountains and the forest. At night you can even hear the sounds of the forest. The staff is exceptionally nice and will go out of their way to help you. We felt very welcomed and got help anytime we needed it. Our room also had the most stunning view of the ocean. The room was also very spacious, clean and beautifully furnished. We reserved breakfast and dinner and it was a great experience! Just keep in mind that the meals are very traditional japanese. The Onsen experience was also very relaxing. The public baths are great and you can also reserve a private Onsen once a day. We would love to stay again!!!

The insects are a bit scary but that's normal if you stay in nature. :)

The place takes you on a time travel trip. We received a family room with ocean view and a living room which was soooo nice and cute and romantic. Futons were comfy. Used public onsen which was great as well as rented out a private onsen which was also great. Loved the whole experience.We had a car, so even though the beach in this town was not best , we did not mind driving around. Parking was free

I was unpleasantly surprised about "onsen fee" which we were not warned about upfront and was not described in the property describtion. Also, some cosmetic repairs could lift up the property to a better level.

This was great. We had a nice room, the public and private bath was nice. Everything was clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The tried very hard to help us and we could only speak Japanese with the Translate app. It worked out very well.

When we booked the place, we couldn't select to add the breakfast and dinner options. That's not a fault of the hotel though but I wish this would've been possible. We tried to work something out with the staff and after an initial "Yes we can" they got back to us with "Sorry we can't".

The view from the room was beautiful and the room itself is very spacious. The ofuro was also very clean and quiet. There is also a bath tub in the room as well. Plenty of parking spots right outside the property.

It does feel a bit dusty as it is an old ryokan - it did trigger my hayfever/allergies. We were also hoping to book the ofuro in the advertised photo, unfortunately it was closed / under maintenance.

Loved everything about this accommodation. To have your own private onsen was great even though there was a communal one at the property. Extremely comfortable, exceptional use of space, great facilities and a gem to find this in a quite part of the Izu Peninsula.

Wished there were more places open for somewhere to eat. Didn't realize many places were closed on a Wednesday

Wonderful and Beautiful Ryokan! Was able to book a private onsen due to my tattoos! Even gave us extra time since no one was scheduled after us.

Definitely book the dinner and breakfast meal plan as there are only two restaurants open during off season. Other than that staff was beautiful and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Do need a translator for English speaking

The room is actually a suit comprise of living area, dining area and bedroom. There is a large veranda facing a garden. Sumptuous dinner and breakfast were served in our dining room. We had seafood dinner and the food quality was exceptional.The whole experience was homely.

Situated in a tranquil little town at the western part of Izu peninsula, far from major tourist attractions. Quite difficult to reach if not driving.

Nice location, delicious dinner/breakfast. Beds were comfy and view of the ocean is spectacular.

Required some back and forth to coordinate the actual schedule for arranged meals (if you pay for breakfast/dinner, it applies for dinner the first night and breakfast the second day rather than both on the same day.)
