We feel cheated

Restaurant staff is rude. The pool cannot be used in June even when the agoda page said it was available. The rooms are very old and smell bad. Very high restaurant prices for what it is. We feel cheated.

Reviewed By SimpleWeeble

Very close to train station, this onsen town must have seen it's limelight in the 80s. With that said, it was still very charming and easy to navigate. The hotel is slightly older however it is still wonderful. Room was large and clean. We had a private bath in our room. The public bath was clean and wonderful and my daughter and I always had it to ourselves! Please note that the mens and womens onsen switch sides everyday. Yep, we were in the mens bath one day when the women at the front desk entered, helped us dress and then told me that we were in the mens bath!! Walked out with the entire staff waiting for me and my daughter. I was so embarrassed but they were so gracious and accommodating. I think the maintenance man that checks on the baths spotted us. ugh. Good story we can tell our friends. Stay here, staff was super friendly, accommodations are wonderful and the food was terrific. We only had breakfast and I wish I would have booked the dinner. PS-there is also a masseuse on property. Limited hours but great!

Seiryuso

Serenity and calm reign in this vast park bathed in Izus light. A flagstone walk flanked by 100-year-old willows and a lovely stone lantern leads to six pavilions admirably arranged in the purest Japanese style. Pure water from on-site hotsprings replenish the external pool, which is open all year long. Casa Vino, renowned for its refined cuisine, offers primarily fish and wines from around the world.

Just right

Reviewed By GrasipBangkok

We had a very nice stay here. The place is not as well designed or furnished as the other deluxe ryokan we visited but the service and meals made up for it. The place is a bit dated but well maintained. It has very traditional, simple and well appointed feel to it. We had a family room that our family of 6 could be together, it was spacious, simple and nice. Our room have large private bath which was perfect for us. The water that fed to the outdoor private bath seems to be very fresh and not mixed with chlorine water like many ryokan do. The food and service was very good. The food serve had variety, creativity and was well presented. They had a lovely menu to guide us through the meals. Both dinner and breakfast was very good. They staff have limited English but they really went out of their way for us. What they could improve on, is to have more room and baths amenities.

Complete dive

If this is a budget hotel than I get it or for back packers. Speak zero English and went to Onsen if that’s what you call it???? there was absolutely no English showing how to get there in the front desk wouldn’t even show me the way. It was a total dump. Was staying at Marriot and it was included so I went to hot springs. The worst nightmare you would want to experience

Food is excellent but not the room

Reviewed By dorothychiang

This is the first visit and I try in Ito. I do not like the traditional room I have. Old and facing to the empty swimming pool is a bit scared to me. I went down to the other side of the ground floor which looks really relaxing area that I do not know from the booking site. There looks like only for local or Japanese to stay in. It is not the dine in room. Service is good in the restaurant and food is impressed. However, I may not think to stay again unless if I can try to reserve the ground floor side.

very recommendable onsen

Reviewed By imendizabal1991

I did not sleep in this place but I actually went to the hotspring several times. It has, indeed, a very nice natural onsen with inside and outside (hot and cold) bathtubs and sauna. It takes 15-20 minutes to arrive there from the train station on foot, but it is nice to have a walk before and after going into the water.

This hotel is a rare find in Japan. The rooms are huge and have a spacious balcony and a view of the beach. The decor and vibe is similar to a boutique mid-range level brand like a Marriott. While they were not open during my visit, this property also has amenities like a terrace and a swimming pool, plus a traditional Japanese bath. The design of the property is like a mid-century modern design and is clean and spacious. Highly recommended.

Great value

Reviewed By disneysea2016

Location is off the center but the value for money is great. Excellent service. We stayed in "renewal" room which was recently renovated room #624. Very clean room with new futon. Everything was super clean. Beautiful views of woods and mountain. This was our second time stayed. We love this ryokan!
