Hotels Near Namesawa Valley in Izu

This used to be our favorite summer spot. We'd return at least once a year, for perhaps 4-5 years in a row. However, we hadn't been back for quite a long time. This is what I learned on our most recent visit: The hotel room (I think we had a ”Hollywood Standard Twin) was quite spacious. The beds were large and comfortable, and there is a nice-sized balcony with a generous ocean view. I see some other reviews on Tripadvisor calling the rooms ”old and smelly” -- this has never, ever been my experience, not once. The room seemed exactly as it was over 10 years ago, but that's fine. The colors are soft, muted ”beach” colors and we were very comfortable. On our first night we ate at the ”Melesea” restaurant, which serves French cuisine. We chose the ”Demi portion” course, which was about 9,000 yen (about $62USD with today's exchange rate). We chose it because it wasn't as high priced as some of the other course meals and the portion sizes sounded right for us. There is no question that the ”Demi portion” course was one of the best I've ever had in my life. The chef (Mr. Ohki) is obviously a professional who really understands how to bring out the delicate flavors of any dish, and he is a master at preparing sauces. Everything that was served was outstanding. No, we didn't want to pay that much money per person, but ultimately we made the right choice. We both were extremely impressed. The above two things, plus generally good weather, added up to a good experience. Here, though, are things that you should be aware of: This is essentially a family hotel. That means if you are coming here for peace and quiet, and you make the mistake of coming on a weekend or a national holiday, you can expect lots of screaming children running with abandon down the hallways and fussing in the restaurants and everywhere else. Japanese parents tend to indulge and spoil their little ones. And forget about using the pool, since that's where parents will be staked out the first thing in the morning. If you are a parent, you might find this to be the perfect hotel. If you aren't, and you do not enjoy the boundless energy and noise of children, you will be sorry you booked a room here. So, think carefully about the dates you arrive and leave. As for prices: Although you can get a ”Tokyu Hotel” member card, and although you can find online promotions, the way the hotel makes its money is through its dinners. You are going to pay a lot for them, although there is effort put into them, so, you do feel you are having an ”experience.” But they do not come cheaply. Also, if you don't book your room with breakfast, expect to pay ¥2900 for a ”buffet breakfast.” If you are Japanese, you will love this breakfast; if not, you will find an adequate selection of items for a Western breakfast. But what if you want to go ”out to eat” at night, instead of paying between 10-20,000 yen for a meal? Good luck. Unless you have your own car (and I'd say about 90% of the customers

　The first time we chose the back of the inn at Shuzenji Onsen, it was the Yukoro Kikuya. It is located almost in the center of the hot spring town of Shuzenji, and if you follow the prefectural road that runs through the northern bank of the Katsura River, there is an entrance to the inn, and there is a parking lot next to it. From the entrance to the main body of the inn, you will pass over the lobby built on the bridge over the Katsura River. Check-in is done on the sofa in this lobby, so you can see the Katsura River from just above the river. As the name ”Yu Corridor” suggests, many hot water areas are connected by long corridors. From those hot springs, I could see the beautiful garden of the inn. The dinner I was looking forward to was called ”Quasi Sakana Kaiseki”, and I was able to choose some dishes as I liked. We were two of us, and we dared to eat different dishes, but each dish looked beautiful and very delicious. Our accommodation plan was a plan to have draft beer free in the private lounge, so we had draft beer in the hot spring and relaxed.

■ Location 　Take a bus (220 yen cash only) from Shuzenji Station and get off at Miyukibashi, 2-3 minutes. The other side across the new bridge along the Katsura River. About 7 minutes on foot from Shuzenji Onsen Station on the route bus. Large high-rise inn. The scenery might be beautiful during autumn leaves. ■Nearby Attractions We recommend going to Niji no Sato on a free electric bicycle. The bicycle was also made by Panasonic and was new, and it was powerful even on the slopes. You can get there in about 20 minutes. At Niji no Sato, you can enjoy steam locomotives and views of Mt. Fuji. Also, if you have a receipt for staying at Shuzenji Onsen, Niji no Sato will give you a 30% discount. ■ Room 　The room was spacious and the bed was set on tatami mats, so it was comfortable to sleep. It was nice to have a humidifier. ■ Meals Buffet style with a competitive number of items. If you are with children, you can enjoy it in an entertainment mood. It might be more fun if you make it a fair specification such as cotton candy. On the contrary, it is a mess, so it is not recommended for those who want to enjoy it slowly or emphasize the atmosphere. ■ Amenities 　In front of the Daily Yamazaki convenience store in the ryokan, you can take whatever you want as much as you like. I think that management efforts to reduce personnel and maintenance costs are rational, only for Obako Hotel. I think the service of choosing a yukata is very good. Wouldn't it be nice to have a special yukata for a fee? If there is a design that looks good on Instagram. ■ Hospitality 　The check-in time was around 17:00, so I contacted them in advance. At that time, there are only two dinners at 18:00 and 18:30, and the 19:45 two-part system is not being done at this time, so I hurried to the hotel without eating lunch. At the front desk of the inn, it was said that after 18:00, there would be a two-part system at 19:30, and there was a discrepancy between the phone and time. Although I complained about it, the woman at the reception was indifferent, with no apology or confirmation, whether the complaint was a daily occurrence. Perhaps the person on the phone misunderstood and told the time, but I asked if there was 19:45, and although I insisted that it was not, I regret that I told the wrong time. . I can't help but make a mistake, but I was disappointed because there was no follow-up at the reception.

The person in charge of the trip was very kind and I have fond memories of my trip. It was a birthday celebration, and I was very happy to see how they livened up the occasion and showed their careful attention. Both dinner and breakfast were very voluminous and I was satisfied with both the presentation and the taste, although I think it varies depending on the plan. As for the hot springs, I thought that everyone from children to adults could take a dip in them with peace of mind because the temperature was right and the skin was in good condition after the bath. I was satisfied with everything about the room, hot springs, food, and customer service.

I used it to dive with three companions. Because of the corona cherry blossoms, I didn't hit the search for a single room, and it was a fairly large room, and I made a reservation to make a social distance. It seems that there was a coupon use by a certain site and a prepaid discount, and about 6000 yen per person including hot water tax. It is a rich view in a luxurious room that doesn't usually make a reservation first, and it feels sorry to not stay with my wife. The public bath is also a natural hot spring, and the open-air bath is a source of water. The inner bath was written as being chlorine disinfected by circulation, but the smell of hot water is not known. There were sauna and water baths, and it was quite slow. The original is like a resort condominium, and the passage faces outdoors, but unless it is rained in the rain of the side hit, it is positive only for the noise like the corridor I felt it. I didn't have a meal, so I can't evaluate it there, but I think it is quite convenient to use it in a group of multiple people because there is a set of cooking equipment and a large refrigerator in the room. It is a big facility, but all the spaces are well air-conditioned and no negative points were found.

It is toda of the image of Nishi Izu, but it is located in Numazu City, and this time I suddenly booked a room with an open-air bath by using a coupon (15000 yen) and a source inn coupon (3000 yen) from Numazu City. The room with an open-air bath is a modern clean Japanese room, and I think it is a young or female preference (Wi-Fi is not a room). The open-air bath in the room takes a lot of time until the hot water is poured, so if you want to enter immediately, you should put hot water immediately after you get into the room. When I closed the shutter, the ocean view was blocked and was regrettable, and it was safe for a woman to enter. It was a large barrel bath and used ２ times during my stay (no washroom). The hot spring in the bath in the public bath was a good hot water with a soft little bit. Because the inn is next to it, there is a blindfold in the woman's open-air bath, and the ocean view was not desired. However, in the nice lounge area on the front floor, there is coffee and detox water service and glass wine service at dusk, so it is cozy ３ We used it once. This lounge is ocean view. The Christmas display was clean. The heart display of the installation reflected was a little childish personally. Dinner was a standard course at the venue meal, so I didn't expect so much, but there was abalone dance. I found that the abalone was very active and alive, so I asked him to make it a sashimi. I made this abalone sashimi on the thorn and sake was sucked. This stab is delicious with a kimo, and the relationship was happy that ”5000 yen is a live abalone stab.” The rice was served with a book of Tenjo wasabi, and the local rice of Tenjo was eaten with nori and oak. There was also a seafood pot with beef stew, potato manju and seafood in color 々. The breakfast was also a balanced Japanese food. The customer service is good, the hospitality is felt everywhere, and it is a clean and comfortable inn.

這裡是伊豆長岡溫泉鄉，位於靜岡縣伊豆半島，溫泉水來自古奈湯，是伊豆半島著名三湯(走湯、修善寺)之一。沿途都是寧靜鄉郊的矮房子，很有風味，車子在轉入一條小路之後，就看見「石のや」的門牌，沿著斜坡上，就到達旅館了。 一入旅館，職員就請我們選擇 Yukata 靚靚浴衣，還有不同款式的腰帶及足袋（分趾鞋襪），充滿日式風情，真的很欣賞日本的旅館，總會在細節位上花心思，給住客一點驚喜及難忘回憶。 旅館的 Lobby，有個寬躺的閱讀空間及小小的自助 Café，書報雜誌可以借上房間閱讀，不過要先向職員登記。穿過 Lobby 之後就進入旅館的庭園。這裡有一個足湯的地方，可以讓住客一邊放鬆浸腳，一邊欣賞風景，旁邊有毛巾及飲品供應，非常貼心。然後職員就帶領我們到走到房間。 石のや Ishinoya 是一間傳統日式風格的旅館，建於1965年，最大特色就是擁有6,000平方公尺的瑰麗岩石景觀庭園，客房也就是依照昭和四十年代的「數寄屋造」的樣式打造，好像 resort 渡假屋一般，但是純日式的古典風格。 我們今次入住了館內最華麗的房間「薩摩」Satsuma，獨立別墅式建築，面積有 91.72 平方米，有臥室＋和室（日式房間）＋一個私人岩石露天溫泉，好像大浴場那種天然環境的設計，在自己房間裡都可以浸到這樣級數的溫泉空間，非常寫意！ 房間裡空間感十足，經過一個寬躺的走廊，才到達浴室，浴室設備齊全，都是高級沐浴的格局，打開門後，就是一個極為寬躺的花灑及浸浴區，在西式酒店中找不到這樣的空間感。對面就是一個獨立廁所空間，也是相當有距離的感覺。雪櫃也放在走廊，我們怕凍，所以先把3樽水從雪櫃拿出來。 沖完涼浸完溫泉，換了浴衣我們到外邊走走，看到這裡自然環境的佈局，這就是日式溫泉旅館的心思，讓住客留在旅館內都有不同地方進行不同活動，就是要盡情享受這裡的一花一石一木。 除了浴衣之外，還有一件厚質地的大衣，天氣冷也沒問題。 亭台樓閣，到處遊玩，到處拍照，不知不覺就到了晚飯時間。 我們也預定了旅館提供的懷石料理晚餐，餐廳全都是包廂房間，因為全旅館也只有22間房，所有住客都是 VIP 貴賓。 先付前菜及魚生刺身已經準備好在枱上，刺身妻一式有本鮪吞拿魚、寒八、青利烏賊，還有伊豆著名的 Wasabi 山葵。精美的 Menu 菜單還有石のや料理長松島達也的蓋章。杯墊也很別緻。鮟鱇魚肝海鮮蟹蓋，有元貝、銀杏、栗子、精華海鮮汁，非常好吃。低溫慢煮調理和牛，擺盆都充滿藝術感，慢煮和牛肉質特別鮮嫩。 接著是 Sukiyaki 壽喜燒，吃了牛之後，這回用鴨做壽喜燒，不過我始終覺得還是大塊的牛肉薄片最適合，而且可以掛到很多的蛋漿。煮物是地物真鯛酒蒸，即是酒蒸鯛魚，這個也很嫩滑鮮甜。然後還有麵豉湯，有些餸飯的鹹菜，這個飯很有特色，是日本特產的迷你薯仔煲飯，真的第一次見識到。最後甜品也是層次豐富的，店員說要一羹到底的筆上來，底層有些像紅豆沙一般的。 飯後我夜遊一下晚間的庭園，著上了日式木屐，要一步一步很小心的走，晚上的氣氛又有點不同，我到咖啡廳逛逛，除了咖啡茶，還有些零食小吃，都是免費的。旅館 Lobby 的伴手禮精品也十分吸引，伊豆的生活指數低，有很多地道特產，買手信的性價比十分之高。 再探望一下魚池裡的日本錦鯉，晚上也在慢慢的游來游去。還有夜光的旅館地圖，可以見到整個佈局分配。沿石級上，回自己的房間，這裡的浪漫氣氛，好像回到了古代，古色古香，這也是我很喜歡這裡的原因，而且因為地點不在熱門旅遊區域，價錢也不貴，但很有風土味道。 我們的房間「薩摩」，門匙是很原始的實體鎖匙。 第二朝早餐，有紫菜及熱飯，有沙律、冷麵、麵豉湯，日式早餐，這次不是一塊魚，而是一整條魚，燒得好香，肉也鮮甜，不過始終有骨不是我喜歡的，螢光魷魚漬很是不錯，蝦米和白飯魚鹹鹹地可以餸白飯。 從旅館走路5分鐘，就可以到達伊豆の國全景公園 Panorama Park 入口，搭乘纜車登山，全程大概8分鐘，上到452公尺的葛城山山頂，展望台一望無際，天清氣朗時可以眺望富士山與駿河灣景色。

I suddenly decided to go to Numazu and made a reservation on the night of the day of my stay. I was confused because the entrance was a little difficult to understand, but the front desk was simple and clean and very beautiful. The room feels like an ordinary hotel, but the bath is amazing! I imagined a unit bath in an ordinary hotel, but the unit bath here is wide without a feeling of oppression, and it is partly wood grain and the design is nice. I thought it was a hotel made by Daiwa House. The price is not high, so I will definitely use it again next time I go to Numazu. The bath was a high score anyway. By the way, there is a corner with a microwave oven and vending machine on the top floor. There is a 7-Eleven diagonally opposite the hotel, so you don't have to worry if you're hungry in the middle of the night! The station is close, and the parking lot (1 day 1000 yen) is also available, so the convenience is excellent.

This hotel is right next to the Mishima train station for both regular JR trains and Shinkansen trains on Tokyo-Osaka line. One can walk in without even cross the road. Access if from the first floor (ground) and the reception is in the second floor. There is a small shopping area in the ground floor. Rooms are of good size with separate seating area. Beds are comfortable and have all facilities expected in a first class hotel. More importantly the toilet and bathroom are in sperate enclosures. If one gets the station side rooms, one could see Mt Fuji in all its glory. Breakfast is good with a choice of Japanese and western dishes; and staff is quite helpful. The only issue is that noise insulation could be little better; it is certainly not comparable to what we found in a hotel situated next to a busy train track.

The room is well-equipped. After the hot springs, there are ice bars, ice cream to choose from (all you can eat), and Ye Ming (ramen). The breakfast is very rich and the choices are diverse. After the hot springs in the morning, there is a lotus (all you can drink), which is great😄👍🏻
