Ito hotellia

Plussat: Really enjoyed staying at an authentic ryokan. The private onsen will great too!

Miinukset: There was a Bad musty smell in room may be due to toilet. Ito was a little dead that time of year but staff were very nice and helpful.

Plussat: Best place I’ve stayed in Japan! Such a cool old building with lovely staff who were very helpful and good fun! Aswell as the hostel Ito and the places the hostel staff recommended to eat and drink were so nice! Very cheap for what it is and would definitely recommend!

Plussat: They have public onsen and also a private one. I had a lovely stay too bad I only stayed 2 nights.

Miinukset: Nothing absolutely perfect.

Plussat: I have to admit I randomly decided to go to Ito, and my night there was amazing solely due to K’s House! This grand hostel mixes modernity and tradition in subtile ways, and will never feel enclosed! The in-house hostel is amazing and strongly recommended!

Plussat: English speaking, informative staff. Lots of fun and a clean, central and historical place to stay.

Miinukset: None.. our best Japan stay to date!

Plussat: Very happy and helpful staff Great location Traditional and historical atmosphere is fantastic Kitchen facilities are very functional View of the river out the window was very pleasant

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Traditionally Japanese.

Miinukset: No enough showers.

Plussat: Lovely, historical hostel in Ito which we have stayed in on my previous occasions and decided to come back for the atmosphere, comfort and experience. We booked a private family room with four futon beds and a private bathroom which was a wonderful authentic experience. The onsen downstairs is one of our favourites in Japan so the complimentary 24 hour use was amazing.

Miinukset: Unfortunately on this occasion we were kept awake late in to the night by other guests downstairs in the living room who were rowdy and noisy well past 12.30am. We understand that this a hostel but would have appreciated a quiet rule after 11pm for people who need to get decent sleep to be up early the next morning. Such a beautiful hostel should be treated with more respect.

Plussat: The onsens were amazing!

Miinukset: Perhaps more info on fun things to do while staying in Ito

Plussat: Staff and location

Plussat: Excellent! We highly recommend! Very kind host. Easy check in and check out. Very clean. Big supermarket and train station very close. Good english. Very good breakfast, western style also available. Very good coffee. 5+ stars. Thank you for everything!

Plussat: The staff and owner were very kind and friendly. It’s also kids friendly place too. The room was so spacious. We also could use a big bathroom privately. We’re repeater and we come back again next year.

Plussat: The staff is really amazing! We had a great stay because of how helpful they were. The food (we only had dinner) was pretty amazing! It was also so so much! The staff offered to drive us to different sightseeing options, but there is plenty to do just by walking around the area. The walks around the coast are absolutely beautiful! They arranged so that we could use the bath as a couple, which is also quite nice since we often can't visit together. When leaving they helped us to phone our next accommodation. Overall a really nice place to stay. Rooms are fine and clean, but the staff was really exceptional!

Plussat: It`s a perfect offer for your holiday at Izukogen, caring owners family, amazing overall experience and a great value for the money they charge. Private hot bath, yukata provided, a true ryokan experience. Free massage armchair. Owner was kind enough to meet us at the station and give us a lift back too. I also rented an electric bicycle from him to go to the coast and explore the area.

Miinukset: Everything was just perfect, thank you once again!

Plussat: Property is managed by a Japanese family who were extremely hospitable. They offered to give us a lift to Mt. Omuro on our arrival and always checked with us where we wanted to go, in case they could drop us off. Friendly and helpful, but definitely not intrusive. Breakfast and dinner came included for us — other than lack of variety, food options were hearty and homely. Location of property is 5-10mins away from Izu-Kogen Station, and within walking distance to supermarkets and some eateries.

Miinukset: Public baths and shared bathrooms, but this is personal - baths are split into males and females separately. However, they swopped the baths one night without me noticing, and I walked in to the mens’ bath by mistake.

Plussat: An excellent option for those wishing for a first class Japanese experience. I concur absolutely with the other positive comments provided by other travellers

Miinukset: Nothing - all good

Plussat: eveeything is so great!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very good ryokan, great value for great price while being authentic. They are very used to foreigners so everything has English translations attached. There is one large and one small public bath: They switch the gender assigned kinda randomly which means that depending on the time you may end up in either the big or the small one. Both are good. Less than 10 mins walk from the train station. Very nice small restaurants in immediate proximity (they close early).

Plussat: The staff was kind-enough to pick us up,vdrive us back to the train station as well as to a sight about town. Excellent dinner & value, nice-clean communal bath

Miinukset: The room was a bit tight, the price at 12-13K yen is a bit high

Plussat: Everything at Hanafubuki was wonderful. We stayed two nights, with breakfast and dinner included. The food was among the best we had in our two weeks in Japan. There are multiple private onsen throughout the property, each with its own charm; we never had any issue with finding an available onsen. It is so calming and peaceful with the forest, onsen, and lovely rooms. It is also a short walk to the Jogasaki coast, which is beautiful. I truly cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Plussat: Dinner is really good Hot springs are clean and out of expectation Hotel staff is informative and helpful

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Very good private use onzen system. Food is fantastic with lots of variety. Close enough to the sea for medium length walks. Our room was a good size; bright and airy and surrounded by nature. We would certainly like to return.

Plussat: The staff was so accommodating and the breakfast was delicious. Definitely would come to this place again next time.

Plussat: Decent service with nice deco rooms. Food is amazingly good and creative, both dinner and breakfast.

Miinukset: Typical tourist hotel means quite some guests might not know the tradition rules, which might cause a huge mess.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel with 7 onsens on the property. It was so fun to try them all. It was a great blend of shared space, but private. Once you’re in the onsen space, you can lock the door and it’s yours until you’ve soaked enough.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Beautiful grounds. The private hot springs were fun to visit. The meals were delicious.

Plussat: Beautiful property in a tranquil area. The staff was amazing and breakfast was delicious! My only regret is not including dinner, since there wasn't much else around (but Italian Cafe Bosco was also great). We tried four of the seven different baths during our one night stay, and definitely recommend taking the hike they map out.

Plussat: this hotel is surrouned by trees with seven private hot spring. 10-15 minutes walking from the station. the staff is polite but its better if the hotel can handle the luggage from room to check out. its not easy to carry the big luggage to the check out on the steep roads in the hotel

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: Excellent experience at the hotel. Staff very friendly, speak very good English and help understand the accommodation. The room I was in was a larger one with a view of the hills and the sea, and the rotenburo on the balcony, clean, very convenient, feels well maintained. Meals were served in the room, very tasty, and a good choice of main course for the dinner, including abalone, wagyu and deer. Hot spring excellent, and rotation between male and female hours allows to experience all of facilities either in the morning or evening. Great views from the rotenburo. You can take a shuttle bus from the station, or it's a 10-15 minute walk from Minami Ito station, which is also convenient enough and gives good views of the area. Will gladly come back and stay again.

Miinukset: Everything excellent. If I am picky, would be great to have milk available near the hot spring area though.

Plussat: traditional Japanese dinner & breakfast provided are delicious! the environment of the hotel is good, the staff are nice, the hot spring facilities are decent

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Friendly service. Good food.

Miinukset: Too far from downtown.

Plussat: All the staff are very helpful, rooms are very clean.

Miinukset: Breakfast is very good but dinner has rooms for improvement .

Plussat: We liked the open-air bath in our room. The staff were so attentive and hospitable. The dinners, both Japanese and French, were simply amazing and exceeded our expectations.

Miinukset: The wifi in our room did not work well at all. They lent us a mobile phone which we could use as a personal hotspot and it worked reasonably well (but not fully).

Plussat: Impeccable service. Beautiful surroundings. Dining was superb. Little extras made it special.

Miinukset: Nothing. Loved it all!

Plussat: We enjoyed good breakfasts and excellent dinners. As we stayed for three nights, we had the chance to try every type of cuisine on offer. The kaiseki was very good, the French cuisine was excellent and the teppanyaki delightful. Portions are just right. The private onzen bath we had was really agreeable and the water temperature is adjustable. We especially like the small sword museum as well as the video with clear explanations of how samurai swords are made. Scent bag making was also fun and a pleasant activity on a rainy day.

Miinukset: The place really needs a face lift. They put in a new wing but the old wing is the one that requires extensive renovations to remain competitive and attractive. The lobby area is very tired, the carpet was old and worn. They also need to clean the toilet bowl thoroughly as accumulated dirt is visible and rather offensive. Non-Japanese staff not up to standards and totally lacks Japanese manners. Found out that the owners are Taiwanese - well, I hope they remember that this is supposedly a Japanese ryokan and a certain style of etiquette is expected.

Plussat: This exceeded my expectation a lot. Everything was so great, especially the service, the food, the privacy in the room, and all the facilities we have. The room was traditional Japanese style, very clean, spacious and has a private onsen. I had a great time with my family and I think it's great for couples as well. I hope I could stayed there longer and I will definitely come back once I have the chance.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: The elegant lady offer very nice service. The meal is so fantastic. and richful dishes. Offering meal in the room with private service is really perfect experience. And the private hot spring pool is so comfortable and clean. The room is nice. Thanks for wonderful service.

Plussat: The staff are amazing and very accommodating. The rooms were bliss and the food is out of this world. If you have to do one thing than it is to stay in the ryokan.

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Really enjoyed our stay here. Service was amazing. Privacy was the best. The breakfast was exceptional. Will stay here again

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Very nice personel even they not speak english you can comunicate with, very clean,very good cofee Illy

Plussat: The room with private onsen was great. Beautiful garden and a spacious tub. The staff was lovely and worked hard to effectively communicate with us as English speakers.

Miinukset: The hotel outside of the room did not have the historic ryoken vibe. We did not use the shared onsen and the pool was not open.

Plussat: The room was excellent, futons very comfortable, and breakfast very traditional and tasty. The biggest positive surprise was the open air onsen, we knew it was there, but we didn't realize how how awesome it'd be.

Plussat: The staff were very welcoming, breakfast incredible. Great onsen!

Plussat: A step back in time into a wonderful traditional royokan experience- the roof top hot spring experience was brilliant & the private dining experience very special- spacious & comfortable accommodation & lots to explore in the vicinity

Miinukset: The typhoons destruction but fortunately the hotel was spared

Plussat: Traditional onsen hotel with history and style. The owner and his wife speaks very good english and are both very helpful. Hotel not far from JR station. Breakfast and diner are excellent, prepared with local fresh ingredients. Loved it!

Miinukset: None

Plussat: We had a fantastic time in yokikan! Very nice room friendly staff and fantastic food and service!! For a real Japanese Experience!!

Plussat: outdoor hot spring is perfect，and the staff gave very detailed informations during check in。

Miinukset: One of the reception guy has attitude that makes me feel not very welcome。

Plussat: Great breakfast, plenty to eat and very tasty. The outdoor salt water onsen was lovely and had a great view. The indoor alkaline onsens were very good as well. Each onsen was a great experience and provided different healing properties.

Miinukset: Our bathroom only had salt water shower and tub and the smell was not welcoming. We used the onsens to shower and bath though which was a great experience. A few things could have done with a little maintenance but didn't really bother us.

Plussat: The hotel is an authentic traditional Japanese ryokan which has a japanese garden at the hotel lobby where we were able to sit on the massage chairs and enjoy a therapeutic view and sounds of the mini waterfall. The hotel staffs were friendly and hospitable. The rooms were spacious and we had a good view of the city and nature as its situated in the middle of the mountain. They have a mini rail cable that brings you to the rooms which was very interesting but also became a hassle each time we wanted to use the hot springs at the ground level or get out for meals. The rail cable closes at 10:30pm so we had to watch for time to avoid having to climb many flights of stairs if we missed it. The outdoor hot springs were amazing but there was no shower available for that which also created some inconvenience.

Miinukset: The hotel was rather old and they had pests issues (given the fact that they are also next to nature). one of our futon was infested with mini cockroaches which totally freaked us out! The staff was quick to respond and changed the entire bed for my friend but we were left with a creepy feeling after knowing that we were sleeping on futons which were on the tatami floor.

Plussat: Traditional Japanese family feeling.

Miinukset: Friendly staffs, wonderful breakfast.

Plussat: Easy check in, breakfast, traditional hot springs, calm atmosphere

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing. This convinced us to also try the dinner, which didn't let us down. The host was very nice and both picked us up when we arrived and drove us when we left from/to the train station. There is a superb view from the room and the private onsen available is very cosy. This is definitely the best place we have stayed in Japan.

Miinukset: I would have liked to have some drawers / closet for unpacking. But the room was very big and there were some hangers provided, so it was not a big issue.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good - if you liked fish. My wife didn’t and had very little to eat. The outdoor Onsen was fine and we really appreciated the owner giving us a lift to the station.

Miinukset: Previous reports suggests the need for an upgrade. For the price the renovations need to start ASAP. The indoor Onsen didn’t look good so we didn’t use it.

Plussat: The hotel owner and his wife are very helpful and polite. They make delicious food with heart. It seems that we had fine dining every meal. On the day we departed, they even made us snack for our lunch. The room and the dinning room are clean with beautiful view. The outdoor hot spring is good with beautiful scenery.

Miinukset: Too many steps to go up the hotel from the road. The indoor hot spring is a bit too worn out.

Plussat: Staff were warm & excellent and traditional first night dinner was incredible. Views are stunning view of this cozy Japanese beach town.

Miinukset: Some of the furniture is a bit old.

Plussat: Great view across the bay. The property itself is very small with just 3 (large!) rooms, therefore very homely atmosphere. We enjoyed the on-site Onsen very much.

Plussat: The private hot spring is great with a view of the bay. The dinner and breakfast were super delicious and you can tell the owner really put his heart in the cooking. The room can accommodate four people, so it is spacious for the two of us.

Miinukset: Nothing really, the hot spring facilities may need some upgrade soon. It can be tough to walk up hill if you don’t drive.

Plussat: Very friendly staff Delicious Japanese breakfast Huge room Amazing view

Miinukset: Onsen (Bath houses) could use alittle work, but they were perfectly usable

Plussat: Great delicious dinner/breakfast with private Onsen. Perfect choice for couples.

Plussat: Owner is very nice. Breakfast and dinner was delicious

Miinukset: Nobody ever came out to welcome us. As I was driving, I didn't know where to park my car, so I just freely park in the parking area, but then the staff complained that I parked wrongly. Good facilities but services are really not good. Staffs not so helpful.

Plussat: Staff are nice and their meals were excellent!

Miinukset: Their onsen facilities are bit old and can be improved

Plussat: The hospitality and food were 10/10 and very good value. You’d easily pay $140 per head for the dinners, excluding the breakfast, and private onsens.

Miinukset: It’s a little out of the way, however the hosts picked us up and dropped us off whenever needed free of charge.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay - the food, the staff, everything was excellent. The staff was incredibly accommodating - they even picked us up from the station! We had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful and peaceful and the onsens were lovely!

Plussat: The view and food are so excellent.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Miwako was warm and welcoming. Food to die for! Seriously some of the most amazing cuisine we've had anywhere in the world! Variety, comfort, and relaxation in the onsen can't be beaten. We especially appreciated that my wife and I could enjoy them together in privacy. Then add the chauffered trip for a local hike and this was the perfect couples' getaway!

Plussat: Privste onsen in the room

Miinukset: maintenance of surrounding grounds

Plussat: So peaceful and perfect. So much privacy

Miinukset: Leaving

Plussat: 7 hotspring that you can use privately/reserve. Hotspring bath in your room. Amazing food and super kind staffs. Gorgeous view of the ocean from the room and baths. Quiet, tucked away in Futo, so glad to have found this gem! Would stay again!

Miinukset: Only thing is it is a bit far and not central to the spots in Ito and such, but that’s also a positive thing since you will be away from the crowd. If you are looking for a quiet get away this would be a great choice! Owner is also very nice to have taken us to places we go to and pick us up.

Plussat: Place was awesome, food, atmosphere and the service as well!

Plussat: we were looking for a "cool ryoken in the middle of nowhere" and holy hell, did we hit jackpot! the place was AMAZING! a traditional japanese room, with its own private onsen bath. but it doesnt event matter, because all the other 7 public baths are pretty much private as well. the food was amazing, the staff was friendly, and the whole complex was just out of a japanese picture book.

Miinukset: i wish i knew what i ate. some of the stuff were a first for me and i just didnt know how to eat it. also, the wifi signal in the room was pretty weak.

Plussat: Room is very nice and good fact.

Miinukset: Price is more than other hotels.

Plussat: I like the onsen very much, especially the outside one.

Miinukset: I don't like to set up my bed.

Plussat: Uskomattoman hieno paikka. Huoneessa oli oma onsen eli kuuma mineeraali allas. Isompi onsen löytyi alakerasta ja oli tasoltaan huippua. Vastaavaa aamiaista en ole koskaa saanut, aivan super luokkaa ja herkullista, eikä ollut mitään bacon and eggs mössöjä.

Plussat: Good onsen, friendly staff, quite good location.

Miinukset: The staff who cleaned the room left the dustbin on the table! And throw away my skincare which was not finish using.

Plussat: stuff are so nice and hotspring are has very comfortable chairs! breakfast is yummy!

Plussat: The bath and onsen were perfect. Some previous locations we have stayed at had Luke warm baths and this helped reset our ryokan experience

Miinukset: We did one night on futons and one on western style. I do wish the western style had western style mattresses that are less stiff. Might be a personal thing more than an issue with the facility itself

Plussat: I appreciate their outstanding customer services! Despite the language barrier, they have tried their best to help me.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain indeed! If they have good English speaking staff, it will be perfect!

Plussat: Laforet Itoonsen Yunoniwa is an immaculate property. The entire staff provided superior customer service.

Miinukset: Nothing to mention.

Plussat: The room was spacious and the onsen facilities was very good. The location was under 10 minute walk and could easily navigate to it from the train station. The foyer was pleasant and the staff friendly. The hotel had 24hr private family baths available for those that feel awkward in public bath environments which is a big plus for many foreign tourists. Outdoor public baths were well presented and spacious

Miinukset: No shower facilities in the room

Plussat: breakfast is good, and accomondation is fantastic with large space and private hot spring facility!!! We are pleased to recommend friends to stop by!

Miinukset: I do not know if it's just a usual case the temperature is too high indoor public hot spring facilities....

Plussat: The Hotel was great. You have everything you need, the room is quite large so it's nice to even spend a rainy day inside. While the inroom bath is certainly an entertaining luxury, the outdoor rotemburos are just awesome. They also have private family bathes, so there really been thought about everything. While the price is a little bit higher, it is definitely worth it!

Miinukset: The mattress was a little worn out. The private bath had some algae at the walls, so not sure if it had been cleaned properly.

Plussat: The rooms are dated in decor but a good size and immaculately clean, and there is a wonderful public outdoor onsen.

Miinukset: The restaurants are really expensive and the food not great quality or good value.

Plussat: The golf course was amazing

Miinukset: the building is very tired - needs a full renovation

Miinukset: This is mainly a golf retreat for older people.

Plussat: Exceptinoal service for gokfers

Plussat: Great location great course.

Miinukset: Food was super expensive and average at best.

Plussat: Golf here is amazing and the spa/onsen were great

Miinukset: The hotel is in need of a major facelift. It’s a fantastic property but looks like it’s frozen in time (1950’s). It’s charming in some respects but the experience of staying/eating/golfing is expensive and some basic updates are needed.

Plussat: The location of the hotel is really great, as well as the hotel grounds. Staff was very helpful, professional and spoke English. Room was very spacious. We enjoyed our stay at Kawana Hotel.

Miinukset: We booked a private outside bath, which was said to be discounted in the event of rainy weather. In the hotel it turned out there's a strangely complicated process for it which meant we didn't get the discount, even though it was raining at the time of our bath.

Plussat: Staff were very helpful and most of them could communicate in English.

Miinukset: Pool timings and price was not included in the information sheet provided.

Plussat: The onsen pool is so cool and nice.

Miinukset: Very nice view ❤️

Plussat: Very spacious room!

Miinukset: Aged facilities Inconvenient location if you are not driving

Plussat: room size and good view. services is good. dinner is delicious.

Miinukset: dinner and breakfast sold out too early

Plussat: The room is spacious and clean. Lots of space for the family

Plussat: The room was very big. Good onsen.

Miinukset: Location you need to go by car.

Plussat: It is a home away from home, comfortable, spacious and the sea view from the apartment is magnificent . Onsen facilities are also good.

Miinukset: If you do not drive, location of the hotel might be the only negative point. However the hotel provides shuttle service from the nearest train station like 4 times a day.

Plussat: The property is close to 大室山 which we visited the next day of our stay. Our room oversaw the ocean from the hill, where this property is situated. Parking is available next to each one of the wings/buildings so it's easy to move around with luggages. Rooms are spacious and clean. Ideal for stay in consecutive days if visiting by cars.

Miinukset: There're 3 wings and our studio is located on Wing 1, which is the furthest from the onsen and the laundry room. As soon as we leave our studio, the whole passage is covered but not enclosed. So it's quite windy and chilling walking thru our way to those facilities.

Plussat: Great Onsen. Big rooms with kitchen but a bit old. Shame the pool was under renovation.

Plussat: Big apartment with lovely views. Nice pool although rather dated. Staff were helpful and friendly. Restaurant was fantastic but very expensive.

Miinukset: Our room was extremely outdated and in need of repair. Most of the resort looks very tired. It’s not 5 star, more 3 star. Lobby, restaurant and onsen are in the best condition. Very musty smell from people smoking in the room even though there are signs to only smoke on the balcony. We had to pay extra to use the self service equipment for the kitchen such as crockery and cutlery which seemed odd considering it’s a self-service apartment.

Plussat: Veiw, onsen, apartment, location, dinner, parking

Miinukset: Breakfast is good, but could be better :)

Plussat: Room is very big. There is outdoor onsen which is very good.

Miinukset: location is good for car owner, if the traveller don't have car, it may not be convenient.
