It is rare to find a place that is still following the Eastern Asian philosophy about the sea, where the beach is not playing as a protagonist, where the waves, mountains, and pine trees stand together to illustrate the tradition that is about to be forgotten. This is a quiet lovely place located next to a fish port in front of a steep mountain wall, almost like the setup from an ancient tale about The Peach Blossom Spring. going down this road, you could walk to the famous Jyogasaki coast. there will be no convenience store or such, better to buy some before going if you need anything. The location is quite far away from the stations, it will take 30 mins to get there on foot. The good news is that the hotel will offer free shuffle. Here is the hotel, there are 2 giant Chinese lion statues in front of the place, which is a surprise, The room is very spacious, the bed is comfortable, and there is nothing to complain about, There will be some bugs and Insects, but treat these guests friendly. you can have your private bay right next to the balcony. soaking in the outdoor bath while listening to the song of the sea, and watching the pine tree touching the sky. feels like the time has slowed down in this little bay where you can finally chill a bit. The food is decent and highly recommended, and both breakfast and dinners are up to expectations. all the staff are very friendly so it will be a joyful experience overall. If you like diving and fishing, there are several locations around the hotel to allow you to do that, and you could rent the gear from the local diving equipment store. Overall it is worth the price, and if you like to have quality time with family, this would be one of your best choices in the area.

well, several things I wanna bring up 1. The photo and the room types do not match, they put all the rooms with outdoor baths under the same category but only used one of the best rooms to present. but in reality, each room is different, the size of the bath, the layout of the room, the view from the room, etc. It is a bit stretching to claim they are all the same room type. I think maybe a better practice would be to list each room as a separate option on the booking sites, which is more common for boutique resorts. 2. The room is spacious, but also a bit empty. maybe add one piece of furniture such as a sofa or something, but this is purely subjective.

Everything was excellent as expected. The highlight was the private bath on the balcony, where we could enjoy the hot spring while listening to the ocean breeze and waves. Highly recommended for honeymooners. At night, you can even observe individual stars. The staff were very friendly as well. However, the Western-style course dinner had slightly heavy sauces. Also, compared to typical fine dining, the table decoration was somewhat minimal. I think it would have been better if they had focused on Japanese cuisine instead. Breakfast was Japanese-style and generally good, though I wished it had captured more of the characteristic Japanese simplicity, freshness, and elegance.

Dinner and breakfast were exceptionally delicious and beautifully presented. A true work of art. We chose to eat all of our meals at the hotel. The entire staff was warm, welcoming and very professional. Vivian was absolutely delightful and made our stay very memorable. We appreciated the shuttle service between the train station and the hotel. The nearby Jogasaki Trail offered stunning scenery.

Our room was very simple and small and the bath room area was tiny. The shower was not adequate nor was it very private since it was located on a porch with open windows. The water wasn’t hot enough and it was a hand held shower.

This resort was absolutely wonderful. Ryokan type experience but in a western style environment with hardwood floors in the rooms. The staff are so warm and kind and go above and beyond to provide amazing service. Huge room with outdoor open air bath overlooking the ocean, bed was super firm with great pillows, and there was a huge smart TV which was a welcome break from 5 Japanese TV channels at other hotels. The food served at dinner and breakfast was a real highlight...each dish was amazing made with local ingredients, presented like works of art. Coming here was the most memorable part of our entire Japan trip.

There was nothing we didn't love

One of the best breakfast I ever had in Japan. Dinner was Michelin worthy. Warm service. Nice little peaceful hotel. I would love to go back to the hotel. Too bad we didn't have much time to chat with the chef as we were so tired from a day trip. Private onsen can be booked easily and included in the room price. Location is perfect for us as we drive. We would love to know more about the chef and his inspiration in creating this nice meal.

Bed linen could be improved. I understand that they have been washed but there are stain that make the stay a bit less than perfect. For triple room, it would be nice to have additional chair at the coffee table.

This boutique resort hotel is exceptional! The pre-arranged shuttle was waiting for us at the train station when we arrived. The rooms we booked had private baths on our own decks with wonderful views of the ocean and trees, including the morning sunrise! We also enjoyed the private onsen that could be reserved. The French-Asian fusion dinner was exquisite and deserves a Michelin rating. The staff spoke English and were so welcoming and attentive. Special thanks to Hide, owner chef, who was born in Maui; Hirai, manager; and Vivian, receptionist and server, who also performed so beautifully on the piano during dinner, we thought we were listening to a recording! Wonderful stay!

ISANA is beautifully located with ocean views directly from your private balcony onsen (as well as the larger onsen that you can book for free). All meals were truly exceptional, I cannot recommend the food enough.

ISANA is somewhat isolated, in terms of geography. Staff are more than willing to drive you to the train station nearby but there isn't a whole lot in terms of amenities or groceries within a walkable distance. The beds are not the most comfortable, but this is a minor complaint when compared to how amazing ISANA was in every other way.

We had a lovely stay at ISANA Premium Suite. The suite was spacious, and we were fortunate to witness a perfect sunrise from our private terrace. The starry nights were unforgettable. Although the private onsen was small, it was awesome. The staff were very helpful, especially Vivian, who was very attentive to our needs. She provided detailed introductions to each course during dinner and breakfast, and we enjoyed every dish. We appreciate the dedication of the chef (the owner) and felt blessed to stay at this hotel. We will definitely come back. Thank you, Vivian, for the live performance of Canon in D. ISANA is just a 5-minute drive from Jogasaki Coast, making it a perfect location.

The suite is so spacious that it can be easy to misplace things and difficult to find them again.

Albeit a bit old, Isana is nice and quiet. We had a room with our own onsen on the balcony. Very nice. There is also a large onsen which you can reserve. We were overlook the sea which is a very short walk away. Staff were very helpful. We were fortunate to have Japanese friends who live in Izu and who took us around. Izu is an historical place. It is difficult to stay in Isana if you have no transport. The resort has few meal options, and any shop or restaurant is quiet a distance away.

We did not understand the meal options. Dinners can be booked at the resort but they look like very large meals with many dishes. They are also quite expensive. Similarly the breakfast options are not clear.

The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was the biggest highlight for us. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay special and memorable. For example before we arrived they proactively reached out to check whether whether there was anything they could help prepare for us, and when I told them we were coming to celebrate my partners birthday, they offered to prepare welcome champagne on arrival which was so thoughtful. They also offered an opportunity to upgrade our room, which we gladly accepted. The room was unbelievable - panoramic views of the ocean, private outdoor onsen and really comfortable bedding. In addition to the private onsen, the staff let us know that guests could reserve time to privately use the hotels larger onsen on ground floor. This onsen was also lovely and a totally different experience and vibe, so we felt appreciative to be able to experience that privately too. The building is a little older but has been maintained extremely well. We found it to be very clean and full of charm. The breakfast was outstanding, showcasing a range of different Japanese techniques and cuisine. It was definitely one of our favourite dining experiences even after 5 weeks of travelling in Japan! Coffee delicious too. This was a really wonderful stay for us in all respects. An especially big thank you to the staff. Highly highly highly recommend.
