Sound of waves
Reviewed By daniels372Nice property on beach in Shimoda that less expensive than most inn neighbors; tatami rooms have ample space and mod cons; bath and rotemburo on 3rd floor are standard - sauna included - not certain about water origin - and does have ocean view as do most rooms; ground floor directly connects to big beach area that has lifeguard and not crowded despite public access; however, food is brutally expensive - dinner for family more than an overnight, and while rooms clean it appears during COVID hit on hospitality industry to be operating at break-even amenity services. Nice stay but not exceptional; parking and bus service to station.

Amagiso has the biggest water fall named Odaru of Izu peninsula. You will fully enjoy the scenery of it and also the pleasant hot spring bathtubs you can soak into with your vending suits. Our open-air spa and inside spa areas have several bathtubs with never-ending 100 % natural hot spring from Amagi mountains. For our dinner and breakfast menu, you can enjoy seasonal and local ingredients cooked by Japanese style. This is Japanese inn of healing and relaxations.
Awesome Onsen at UNESCO Waterfall
Reviewed By AndraYoAmazing: Various hot springs baths in pristine surroundings while enjoying a gushing 30-meter waterfall, located in an UNESCO Geopark. The waterfall is Odaru Falls, the largest of the Izu Seven Falls. During the day, there are walk-in customers but the park closed around 5:00p.m. so only hotel guests could use the Onsen. It was lovely with the nighttime lightening, and we were the only people. BLISS! There are other onsen: large public bath, and around the corner is a lovely outdoor bath in 2 levels that over looks the mountains with the Kawazu Sakura. An adventure: The Cave Onsen with its almost hidden Fertility Symbols! The hotel is definetly older, but our room had been remodeled with a tatami bunk area over beds so everyone was pleased. Not so many amenities. The hallways lights had been hand crafted from sea glass, each one an original color and shape. Lovely! Not so many closeby restaurants, so Half Board is best. Japanese Kaiseki with the local Ise Ebi (sashimi and in the miso soup), dishes were colorful, plentiful, and interesting: Renkon manju (lotus), Duck and Burdock Rice, Fuji san beef fillet grilled, Basque Cheesecake. Breakfast was also served (not buffet). Loved that they provided an area in the lobby to get extra towels, very nice with all the onsen. The stairs are quite steep and many; they might be closed if heavy rain.

Super value, great hosts, well-worth your consideration
Reviewed By nestriaI've stayed here twice as an overnight jet-lag adjustment/R&R prior to business meetings in Tokyo when traveling from USA. Simple but clean & comfortable guest rooms that have shared bathrooms located down the hall, plus two hot spring onsen that overlook a small garden. Excellent breakfasts in the dining room (mine were western style - available on request - and served as a three course meal, included in room rate.) Dining room is good for dinner too. The owners are a gracious and hardworking husband-and-wife team, and the paintings that grace the walls are those of the husband's father, a wonderful gentleman whom you might be lucky to meet also. A 15 to 20 minute walk from the Kawazu train/bus station and an easy 10 minute walk to the beach or center of town. Buy the JR's Izu Free Q Kippu, a bus/train pass, to access the Izu Peninsula...A short bus ride from the Kawazu station will get you to to the Seven Waterfalls (Nanadaru) or a short hop via train to Shimoda - so save your money and stay here, yet enjoy the sights of southeastern Izu. A great value especially for families or travelers on a budget.

where you can't miss the Japanese cherry blossom
Reviewed By tj88chenThe earliest time to enjoy full cheery blossom in Japan. A lovely small town on the east cost of Izu peninsula, west-south to Tokyo, with convenient access by train from which you can at ease enjoy the beautiful coastal view. Suggest to stay in Ryokan, traditional Japanese hotel, with fantastic hot-spring and delicate full-course Japanese cuisine. 'Golden Eye TAI' - a big snapper, definitely feeds you full and unforgettable taste. The delicacy of each dish presents the highest Japanese standard in cooking not only in presentation but also in the taste and cult.

Location is PERFECT, food was very good, wish they were more flexible for our requests...
Reviewed By Shlomi TThey were not flexible at all for our requests for food without much sugar and meet, which I find very strange. I live in Japan 30 years and it is very rare to have such an unaccommodating attitude... Pity, since I would have given a higher feedback score if they were just trying to help on this issue. Other then that, the place is very nice, location is great and food was good too.

Japanese Ryokan located in mountain
Reviewed By Amelinda WStayed 1 night in kokoronodoka because of the review. The location is near imaihamakaigan station, however a little suprised to know the street goes up to the mountain. I suggest don't bring big luggage when staying here. The ryokan has two types of room, but very small number of room available so booked fast. None of the staff know English, so install google translate in advance. The staff was kind. Be carefull for dinner, since in Kawazu the restaurant closed very early, have dinner in hotel. However booking in advance (by phone) is a must. Plus side was the onsen! 2 private onsen (each have indoor and outdoor onsen), perfect for couples..

Out of the way onsen retreat
Reviewed By TijacoI went with a few friends on an overnight trip from Tokyo (8 of us total). We had 3 rooms next to each other. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Dinner was overwhelming and excellent. The outdoor bath was a real treat - we reserved the private bath for an hour with our group and felt incredibly relaxed. Although this location is out of the way for travelers visiting Japan for a short time, it is a nice spot for others who have the time. Also, we were traveling with a few who spoke Japanese - so I'm unsure of their proficiency in English. Despite this, the staff was very kind, patient, and accommodating.

Serendipty
Reviewed By Marintraveler076It may have been because we were almost alone there, but we had a delightful and luxurious stay at Ishidaya. The staff is reasonably genial but happily not cloying, like they can so often be at inns and hotels in Japan, and even the food was good. I usually find ryokan fare and kaiseki vastly overrated and presented in that 'precious' Japanese fashion - so tedious sometimes. Ishidaya's was very tasty and well presented. We had our own outdoor bath and our own indoor bath, in a sepearet garden house all our own. The room had a slightly moldy smell to it, but hey, it's Japan. Wabi, sabi and kabi. But we felt very comfortable and the futons were wonderful. Fresh and new and crisply starched. If you think of the charges for an Aman room somewhere, where they throw a few plumeria in your bathtub and everything is so symmetrical you almost feel stiff, Ishidaya was not so expensive. Izu has stretches of glorious coastline, then in a second they become hideupus, and it's a repeat of that. The trick is to find a stretch that is still picturesque and not go too far. Ishidaya has no view and the ocean is far off, but it surprises - it's in a dull residential area and you cross a little bridge and suddenly - very pretty. The western landscaping (which you need to seek out in the rear), may need some 'good taste' - it looks a bit funky.

喜出望外, Surprisingly
Reviewed By tongny lThis hotel is located in the quiet region of 河津町. Especially good for those who wants a relaxing and serene stay which is faraway from busy hectic city life. The rooms are clean with simple but well-thought interior decorations, furniture and daily necessities. Dinner was excellent with fresh ingredients and one can taste and appreciate that the chef put their hearts into preparing the food. Better for those who is able to drive, otherwise need to go by taxi. Staff can speak simple English and one even stayed at New York before.

More hotel than ryokan
Reviewed By ChantmanNot as beautiful as the website night time exteriors ( exquisite) but nonetheless a nice garden walk to the entrance of Gyokuhokan. You realise this is not a ryokan when you don't have to remove your shoes at the front door. In fact you can wear your shoes throughout the hotel. Beautifully designed rooms and restaurant - modern architecture at its best. The staff were friendly and helpful although their English was limited. I suppose not too many Western tourists frequent the place. We stayed 4 nights in a room which had its own private hot bath. The kaseiki dinners were fabulous - the chef worked overtime at presentation and flavours. Hard to enjoy a full -on Japanese breakfast though ( no Western option) which has many of the same ingredients as the dinner. We also reserved 2 different outdoor baths, on separate nights, which were nice but needed a bit more attention to the garden view. Small criticisms. Overall a very special stay.
