The villa was spacious and comfortable, with a very well-equipped kitchen. We didn't use the barbecue as we were a small group, but we enjoyed sitting out on the terrace area to have breakfast or tea and sitting on the engawa to enjoy the breeze. The location was also great as we could easily access the lighthouse, hiking routes and other sights by walking. Would love to visit again (maybe with a slightly bigger group) at other times of year to enjoy the place in different seasons!

No issues with the villa itself, but as it is located at the bottom of an incline, it was a little tough walking back up with luggage. Also (as travellers with no car) unfortunately the villa is not that close to grocery/convenience stores and there were not many dinner options for foreign tourists at this time of year (mid-late March). It was not a big issue for us as we planned in advance to get food from Izu-kogen before coming back to the villa, but less-prepared tourists might be caught unaware.

I stayed here with my family including two cats for four nights. This was my second visit to this property, and it was a nearly perfect stay for us again. The property reminded me of a good old Japanese style. We did not feel any inconvenience as the owner prepared everything perfectly. The onsen spa is available in the property, which was one of my favorites. The owner responded to my message quickly and was really kind. It is located in a calm and quiet place and is convenient to access everywhere by car. All in all, the property is worth considering if you are planning to visit this area with more than two people.

Personally, there was nothing I did not like. If you would like to enjoy the nature around the house, this property would be a good choice.

The views from the balcony are stunning, and the bath water is hot spring water, so there is no need to go somewhere else, even though you are right next to a hot spring place! We really liked the traditional Japanese style, with sliding doors, traditional bedroom floors, and a lovely wicker chair. It is in a great location as it is close to lots of attractions. Also, the owner is very responsive to questions. Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay, and we will definitely go back!

This is a lovely home in a beautiful and very quiet neighbourhood located just a short walk from a spectacular coastal trail. We loved the bathtub (onsen), which is fed by a hot spring. The onsen is very relaxing to use. The host replied quickly to all questions. The rooms were traditional and beautifully decorated. Bed rooms were quite large with bed mats, sheets, duvets were very confortable, especially the duvets. AC worked well and kept the place cool in the heat of the summer. The garden around the place was nice and the vegetation in the area were so beautiful and peaceful. Kitchen was fully equipped and we used it for cooking a few meals. The living room was simple and confortable. If you're arriving by train, the home is only a 22-minute walk from a train station. The nearest grocery store is at least a 30-minute walk, so you might want to bring groceries with you. However, keep in mind that a lot of the cafes and restaurants around the house have limited hours.

There was an issue with lighting the gas stovetop: the battery was depleted, but the host quickly replied and someone came over to replace it.

A great house with more than comfortable space for four people, this villa offers a kitchen space, a private onsen tube and a balkony in an area close to walkable sightseeing spots for Izu. There is also free parking available which is helpful as you might not be able to get here pretty easily without a car. Restaurants and shops are also mostly reachable with a car. The host let us use the washing machine which was extremly helpful. The area is also great for diving as Futo is within walking distance and many dive centers are around.

Keep in mind that this villa is in a morr remote place than the typical stay for japan, so even though there are many prevention measures (lots of nets and detergents around the windows) by the host you might find a waso or spider entering the house.

Very bright, clean house, well equipped with attention to detail. We stayed a week with our dog and there is plenty of room for five people. Everything we needed was there. Kitchen, washing machine, hot tub, powerful heater, A/C, TV, etc. A good home for a long stay. The host is very professional and responds quickly to any request. The location is perfect for hiking on the beautiful Jogasaki coast. We took a 2 hour direct express train from Tokyo-Station to Izu-Kogen and a taxi to the villa. A few restaurants and the Jogasaki Station are about a 15-20 minute walk. I highly recommend Ugashin restaurant for lunch. A pleasant 20 minute walk. For more action, a taxi to Izu-Kogen is easy and inexpensive around ¥1500.

Close to the ocean, but no view. My wife liked the old Japanese traditional design of the house. It was nice to have a fully equipped kitchen and had hot springs water for the large bath tub. The bed was very comfortable and our dog loved the sun coming into the rooms. It was easy to find local supermarkets, buy food and cook our own meals.

The shower didn’t have hot water and it appears to be broken. It was hard to find the hose in the dark. The parking entry is very narrow and hard to park under the house if you have a large car. It would have been nice to have the house heated up before our arrival as it took many hours for the house to warm up.

The location of the villa was lovely and peaceful and really great area for walking. Within the villa the hot spring bath was a real treat and the futon bed very comfortable The host was most helpful in organising a taxi back to the station for us. The guidance regarding check in worked well when we arrived and the details about the villa were helpful. Suggest that providing some details of shops and restaurants nearby could also be helpful for future visitors.

Beautiful location and space, the futons were comfortable, and the appliances provided were working well. They also provided detergent and hangers for the washing clothing :)

The heater for one of the water outlets (shower) wasn't working, but the host was willing to communicate regarding the issue. It's rather far from supermarkets and convenience stores without a car, but the view while walking is nice.

Very roomy with a secluded feel, located close to the coast. Everything was well curated and Nao clearly puts the finishing touches on based on the language spoken by guests.

Having a spotter when coming out of the driveway was helpful as it was very tight and alone I could’ve easily scratched my car.
