2-Star Hotels in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

The Hostel is clean and offers everything you might need. There is free water, coffee and tea. They also offer multiple things to rent for free including charging adapters and bicycles. You get access to a locker in a good size. The bathrooms were sparkling clean and the common areas are very comfortable and cozy too. The only negative thing was that the male bathrooms and the main common area is on the third floor of the Hostel and there's no elevator. Another thing I appreciate is the free washing machine and dryer although the dryer took three hours to thoroughly dry my clothes. The Location is also amazing. Close to the train station and the park with beautiful cherry blossoms and a good view of Mount Fuji. I can also recommend the veggie cafe mazina that's very close to the Hostel. Their Fresh Sandwich was a delight.

The hotel breakfast was delicious, especially the clam rice! 👍 The room wasn't huge, but I could see Mount Fuji from the window when I opened the curtains in the morning. I stayed for three days and went to the outlet mall all three days, but didn't find much. The best udon noodles were at the food court; I'd come back to Gotemba just for that udon! There's a free shuttle from the hotel to the outlets and also a free shuttle to Lake Kawaguchiko, but the earliest one is at 8:30 AM. The earliest shuttle to Lake Yamanakako is at 7:45 AM, which is too late to catch the sunrise. Next time, I'll book a hotel in Lake Yamanakako for two nights.

There was a scene where the facilities were older than I had imagined and I felt inconvenience. For example, it is difficult to adjust the temperature of the hot water in the bathroom and it is easy to get hot, so be careful. There is no free parking on the premises, and there is a parking lot that can be parked in front of the hotel for several cars (1,200 yen a day) or 800 yen.

This is my second stay here, and hands down, it's the best hotel in the Kanto region, considering the views, location, and price. The hotel dates back to 1895, even a year older than my university! The same lovely and kind old gentleman was at the front desk for check-in; he was so friendly and even gave my child a small gift. Absolutely perfect! They also have a free microwave for guest use, which is very convenient!

I stayed in Shimoda for one night just for the delicious food in Shimoda. The B&B is near the ”Respohashirahama” stop, which is a 400 yen bus ride from Shimoda Station. There are many slopes and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the place. There is a 711 a little bit behind the bus stop, but I was in a hurry and didn't look back. Finally, after I arrived, the owner's cool long-haired guy drove me to the convenience store to buy some delicious food for dinner. It's super nice. The room feels very homely, with a toilet and bathroom, and towels are self-service. There are many unique small ornaments and T-shirts with different patterns near the front desk. It can be seen that the owner is really trendy

Great value for money, room had a view of Mount Fuji which was so so beautiful!!! About 10 min walk to the station to get the bus or train to many parts of Japan. Great for a solo traveller as much cheaper than places near the tourist hotspots but good transport links.

My first hotel in Japan, and I immediately noticed the distinct difference from hotels back home. The elderly gentleman at the front desk was warm, humble, and polite, and they also had brochures with information on Ito's attractions and transportation, available for guests to pick up. The room was very clean and just right for my friend and me. The hotel isn't far from Ito Station, making morning train transfers very convenient. We woke up to mountain views, and the hotel even has a 24-hour coin laundry facility. Overall, it was very convenient in every aspect. Our two-day experience on the Izu Peninsula was fantastic. If I ever revisit Izu, I would definitely consider staying here again.

Located in a small onsen town, not much shop and restaurant within walking distance while the restaurants and supermarket are easy to access by car within 15min. The hotel itself is a bit aged while it is under upgrading and maintained clean and service standard. A free shuttle is provided to the public onsen in the main branch hotel 5 min drive away. The public onsen is very good with multiple bath pools and an outdoor pool. The place is a good base for us to explore the west and central Izu. Given the price in the area, very value for money and highly recommended.

Before going, I didn't expect it at all because it was too cheap to stay overnight. I thought it would be good to stretch my legs and sleep, but it was very clean and the tatami mats smelled comfortable, and it can be recommended for women
