Hotels near Gyokusenji Temple in Shimoda

The property has amazing ocean views high on an outcropping, but none of the rooms with an ocean view have a balcony, except the very edge of the east wing. Wonderful gardens with a path lading down to a small beach that isn't too noteworthy. The rooms have been updated since the construction and are pretty good overall. The pool was closed in June, which was pretty disappointing, especially as the beach is below par. The onsen facilities met expectation. The beds are firm, which I loved, but not everyone likes a firm mattress. The hotel operates a bus service to pick up guests from the train station twice an hour from 9-5pm. If you are doing dinner out in the town or drinks in the evening, you have to grab a taxi back as the walk is a bit of a hike. The hotel staff are very friendly and kind, the concierge knows the area and has great recommendation for activities...wonderful and friendly people. The hotel restaurant serves a nice mostly Japanese breakfast (as expected) with local delicacies, wide range of teas, coffee and juice as well as a great selection of breads and fresh fruit. The hotel restaurant for dinner is average. Our group ordered a range of items off the menu and no one was terribly impressed. The lone stand out was the French Onion soup, packed with flavor, though a bit light on the cheese. Would stay here again if the price was right, was able to get rooms at a discount on this stay as it was rainy season.

Very good flight and comfortable in front of Izu Express Shimoda Station. I arrived by bus, but there is also a bus terminal. However, the number of flights is not large. It is in a good place to check the time and spend the time adjusting to the bus time. The room was large and cozy. The front desk is not on the １ floor of the building, but there is a guide on the elevator. It is a little difficult to find, but you can see it if you look well. The front desk had a polite staff. The morning bread is also available near the front desk, but I was grateful. However, at night, there is no pleasure town around ... is it because of the corona? It was saved because there was a supermarket. It is recommended for people who use railways and buses.

I stayed for one night in early August with a child of 4 and 7 years old for Shirahama Ohama Beach in front of the hotel. The hotel on the beach is very convenient for bathing with children, but I felt that the line was better here. Check in immediately after the temperature check at the hotel entrance (the room key is received after 15 o'clock), free cloak & shower and dressing room & coin laundry is in the same area, so it becomes light It is connected from the entrance to the pool very close and is the best to move. Moreover, it is good to be close to the public bath. It was convenient to go out directly from the pool to the sea in front of you, and there was a free hot spring shower that dropped sand in the pool when I returned from the sea. There is also a paid rental towel on the pool side with a shower and it is very convenient! It was limited to one word. Coin laundry - shower and dressing room - cloak - large bath - pool - sea All of these were nearby and had a good moving line, so it was good not to take tired children around in a large building There was also a free towel in the public bath. It was easy for children without having to return to the room. It was a room plan (main building confirmation) plan, so it was the third floor of the lowest floor in the room, but it was an outstanding view with a full view of the beach and pool. The only thing that is dissatisfied is the dining hall. There is no window on the mountain side of the first floor and the atmosphere like a large hall for the reception a long time ago. I thought this was perfect if I could see the sea on the top floor or the sea. The content of the meal was buffet. It was a buffet level of so-called ordinary resort hotels, but there were no bad or small types, and there was a live kitchen and it was usually delicious. The room had basic amenities, hot water in the pot and free tea and coffee, empty refrigerator, etc.

All the rooms in the hotel have been renovated. Because I like to lean on the bed and look at my mobile phone, I didn’t book a Japanese-style room. The bungalow is very beautiful and comfortable. In the morning, I opened the curtains and saw a very beautiful scenery. The clouds are very close. The clouds are very close. The whole room is dreamy. There is no obstruction to the ocean view. The sanitation is very clean. There are several hot springs, so there are few people and it is very comfortable. I met other people who called the hotel at 6 o'clock in the evening to make an appointment. If there is no transportation, take a taxi and it will take about 5 minutes to walk. The service attitude here is very good. Be sure to book a place with dinner. There is an izakaya in the dark night when there is nothing to eat. I heard a Northeastern accent recording a video introducing this hotel. It is very friendly. It is very cost-effective and highly recommended.

The breakfast and hot springs were good and the employee 々 was very good. It is absolutely better to go hungry because the amount was considerable. Good point. The meal is delicious volume. Wi-fi is comfortable in the room. Good quality of hot springs. Good open-air bath. Good for children, remembering the name. I had a lot of Pokemon go rare. The employees are not very replaced with the old days, there is a smoking place where the meal is completely smoked, and the children's goods are full. The ocean view is beautiful. I want you to improve the cheek. I smelled like cigarettes, so I smelled like cigarettes every floor. I want you to smoke. If you stay overnight, you will change the menu, but the second day meal was downgraded and there was no boiled fish. The floor of the restaurant is not connected to Wi-Fi and the radio wave is bad. The room tatami mats and corridors reduced 1 ☆ Because it smelled like cigarettes. There is only a western room with a complete non-smoking, and most of the ordinary Japanese rooms are smoked in the next room or the person who smokes in the previous stay. The tatami mats in the room smelled like cigarettes and hurt my throat, and the corridor was very smelly every time I went to the meal and the hot spring, so I want the Japanese room to clearly divide the non-smoking floor and the smoking floor. I had a lot of people waiting for the elevator to say that it smelled like cigarettes. If you can't do it all on the floor, you can't smoke right half and smoke left half and smoke (because you can't stay if you are a child or an elderly person, you can't stay in a Japanese room...) If the room is properly smoked, it was ☆ 5 without stress.

I decided to go for a drive to Minamiizu, which I used to frequent, for the first time in a long time, and decided to stay at this hotel, which looked like it had a nice view. The building certainly feels like it has aged, but it seems that it has been repaired as appropriate, and it has been cleaned well, so I didn't feel any discomfort. As the name suggests, the view from the room was wonderful, overlooking the Sotoura coast. For dinner, we had a Japanese course in the large hall, and it was delicious with local ingredients used. Regarding the meal time, it seemed that the time was divided so that it would not be crowded at once, but it took about 2 hours because the dishes were carefully served one by one. I had the impression that the food was served slowly during the time period when the second half of the meal for the guests who arrived early overlapped with the first half of the meal for the guests who arrived late. Every time Mr. Nakai brought the food, he apologized saying, ”I'm sorry I'm late,” but personally, I was drinking alcohol, and my wife took pictures and talked about this and that. I was able to enjoy it at just the right pace. I don't think that's the case unless it's a Saturday or a busy season after the end of Corona. I went to the bar after dinner, and I recommend it because it has a nostalgic retro atmosphere and the seats are spacious. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the Sotoura coast through a special passage, but on the way back, it's a climb, so it's a bit tiring. One thing that bothered me was that the air volume of the hair dryer fixed in the room was weak, and it took a long time for women with long hair to dry, so I would appreciate it if you could think about it. I think it's really hard due to the long corona misfortune, but I'd like you to leave this wonderful environment forever. I will ask again.

This hot spring hotel is the one that I and my friends agree that the meals are the most careful and the best. Ise Sea always has steaming, sashimi, and simmering, each of which is amazing! Burning is another order, 3300 yen per one, which is more cost-effective than in Tokyo. Breakfast is lobster miso soup, full of sincerity. The room is very wide, with a large sea-view balcony, facing the whole sea, I feel very relaxed and happy. The quality of Tangquan is clean and good. For those of us who don't sleep well or slept late, we went to bed early at 10 o'clock on the day of check-in. The service really reflects the value of traditional Japanese service. It is very careful and keeps a comfortable distance, which makes people very relaxing and pleasant. For those who like billiards and singing, this hotel is equipped with related facilities, so you don’t have to be bored at night. If you want to have a late night snack, the vending machine has instant noodles, and you are not afraid that there is no convenience store nearby and you will be hungry. On the day of check-in, there is a pick-up at the station. The car is about 7-10 people on the big platform. It is completely effortless to arrive at the hotel. Trip.com can assist with the reservation, and you are not afraid of language barriers. In short, it was a very happy experience, and I would still choose this one when I come to Izu soup.

Established in 1867. Famous all-cypress bath, "Sennin-buro." Home-sourced, hot spring water flowing for 24 hours a day.

I dont usually write about the places I stayed to but I just thought this one deserve a review.. also to help others who is thinking of booking this villa but having second thought just like me since it doesnt provide much photos. Im a kind of person who gather information first before making decision... with this one i cant get that much info or review but book it anyway since it is only for a 1 night stay.. so we stayed there for a night and i must say my family and I loves the room we stayed too. aside from the clean room, the man who assist us was really nice up until we check out and waited until we go.. wave goodbye at us and my kids wave back to him and they were smiling... felt like u just went to a family vacation house and a family is waving bye at u saying see u soon... but anyway this is my review... dont get discourage by the apperance of the outside & the lobby it may not look fancy but for us it looks fine I provided some photos... anyway when we get to the room I was amazed because its very clean and spacious it felt like it is more than what I paid for. I didnt expect too much because I know I chose the cheapest place that I can book since we just need a place to rest after beach and before a long drive the next day but it exceeded my expectation... their very generous with their amenities they have instant coffee and electric kettle, theres also a fridge where you can put your food, with us what we did is we already brought some food so we dont need to buy outside after beach because there is no restaurant close to the villa but if u didn’t brought food there is a close convenient store at shirahama beach where you can buy food and bring it at the villa they have table and couch too inside the room... oh I love the shampoo and conditioner the brand is shisheido (so generous) the bottles were big that even you stay for a week it will be enough they provide shaver, toothbrush and toothpaste too and the towels are white/clean... I love everything about this place the only negative thing I can say is that the top part of the shower curtain has little mold but we didn’t mind since the shower curtain is clean just only the top part maybe because its not new but like i said we didnt mind, because bathroom is so clean... Were planning to go back shimoda again next year since 1 day is not enough to explore it and we will definitely book this place again... thanks again to the man who assisted us. He is so nice...

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
