Hotels in Ito

"The old gentleman at the front desk gave me detailed directions in Chinese and even drew out each path with a red pen, which was incredibly thoughtful. The hot springs were all fantastic, and the sunrise with the snow view was truly unbeatable – it brought such peace to my soul, definitely worth getting up at 6:30 AM to see, it was just too beautiful. On the night of my check-in, the Shinkansen was delayed due to heavy snow in Tokyo, and I missed the 11 PM check-in deadline. I called to request a slightly later check-in, and the old gentleman at the front desk readily agreed."

"I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely loved the Hachiman-no Wayo-shiki room type at KIRA-NO-SATO! Upon reaching the floor of our room, we had to take off our shoes and put them in a shoe cabinet, then walk barefoot to the room. If you're heading to the public bathhouse or just exploring the hotel, you can wear the geta (wooden clogs) provided by the shoe cabinet. The floors were incredibly clean; walking barefoot was very comfortable and not dirty at all. The room itself was spotless and spacious, not feeling old-fashioned in the slightest. In fact, it looked quite new. The shower room's design reminded me of a sauna, but it was very comfortable and clean. We didn't use the public bath. Instead, we showered in our room each time before grabbing the key for a private onsen. The 'Stone Craftsman' bath, made of stone, was a bit small; it felt a little cramped for two people. 'Bamboo Immortal' was made of wood (or perhaps bamboo, judging by the name?) and offered more space. 'Rock Seat' was more like a small swimming pool, the largest of the three private onsens, very spacious for two, and had the best overhead cover. The hotel front desk offered complimentary drinks, including sodas, coffee, and tea. The public bath area provided milk and coffee milk in the mornings, and lactic acid drinks and ice cream in the evenings. The building next to the front desk offered various refreshments at different times, such as green tea, local sweet potatoes, soba noodles, and oden. The hotel also offers a convenient shuttle bus service to Izu-Kogen Station, though it stops running after 5:30 PM. After that, you'd have to walk. The walk from the station to the hotel is uphill with a significant incline, which can be tiring if you have luggage or many bags. The hotel staff were all very enthusiastic and polite! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Izu~"

"It's about 5 minutes from the station. There's also a cafe 5 minutes away. The internet is decent. The room is quite spacious. There aren't a single hook, hanger, or anything else to hang clothes on. This is very inconvenient; we had to put our clothes on chairs. The cleaning service is quite strange: they clean the entire floor at once, meaning they open the doors to all the rooms and start cleaning. This means your room might be open, but they'll be cleaning a different one. Consequently, all your things are freely accessible, and it's a very long process (we ended up not waiting for the cleaning to finish and just went into our room)."

"The newly opened hotel was spotless, and the staff were very friendly. The surrounding area is full of villas, making it very quiet. The main road in front is a cherry blossom avenue, but unfortunately, the cherry blossom season was mostly over, and there had been rain a few days ago, so there were fewer cherry blossoms. Soaking in the hot spring at night was incredibly relaxing, perfectly washing away the fatigue of a day of sightseeing. I plan to stay here again next time I visit Izu."

"I rarely write reviews, but this guesthouse was so incredibly comfortable that I just had to express my genuine feelings, haha! 😄 First, I have to rave about the owner's cooking – it truly tasted like home! 😭 On the evening of our arrival, after the owner picked us up and took us to the guesthouse, I was so hungry that I asked them to make some biangbiang noodles. Wow, they were absolutely amazing! Easily the best biangbiang noodles I've ever had! 😭 I immediately ordered them again for lunch the next day! Then, the breakfast the next day had both Western and Chinese options and was also delicious 😋 – it really energized us for the day's travels! We also had dinner at the guesthouse, because as an international student, I was really craving some authentic home cooking. Eating dinner there, it truly felt like ages since I'd had a proper home-cooked meal like that 🥹. Finally, for lunch before we checked out, we had handmade dumplings 🥟 which were also so delicious 🤤, and so fresh! They even gave us a complimentary dish of sweet and sour pork ribs! So happy! 🥰 Secondly! I'm so grateful to the owner for taking us to Mount Omuro and for picking us up late at night to go to the hot springs near Izu Kogen Station ♨️ – it was so relaxing! The owner was just incredibly enthusiastic about driving us back and forth to the station! Of course, the guesthouse environment itself is also impeccable – beautiful, high-class, comfortable, clean, and tidy, full marks! In short, when Mount Omuro turns green again, I'll definitely come back to Izu and stay here! 😋"

"The room is large, with a separate wet and dry toilet and bathroom. The hot spring bath is open-air, and mosquito coils are thoughtfully provided. You can also lie on a lounge chair next to it and watch the stars and listen to the sound of the waves. The hotel's breakfast is delicious and highly recommended. The hotel is very close to the beach, only a three-minute walk away. I recommend taking a walk after a hearty breakfast."

"The hotel's location is a bit out of the way. While it's less than a kilometer from the station, it feels like a long walk. A taxi ride costs about 30 yuan. There's practically no service here, but since it's a private hot spring, I didn't bother with the public baths – I glanced at them, and they didn't seem very big. The private hot spring is a bit small and doesn't offer any views. Maybe I just booked the wrong room type."

"The hotel's location is superb, with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset right before your eyes. The all-day complimentary self-service drinks are fantastic. You can relax by the terrace pool, sipping and chatting. Breakfast is very substantial. The desserts and drinks made from local apples are fresh and delicious. The only downside is that the hotel is located on a hillside. Definitely do not get off at Jogasaki-Kaigan Station if you have luggage. You'll question your life choices dragging your bags up that hill."

"Excellent experience 👍 The staff, mostly elderly gentlemen and ladies, were incredibly gentle and polite, always greeting me when I came and went. There was a Chinese introduction available, and while I pointed out a few typos to the staff hoping for future corrections, it wasn't a major issue. The typical Japanese bedding was very clean. They even wiped down my suitcase upon entry, which was a nice touch. It was a really great experience, and I'd definitely choose this place again if I come back. I heard from the izakaya owner that their meals are also good, so I might try them next time."
