For the value and it being a guesthouse, honestly my expectations were reasonably low. I was very surprised when I arrived and not only was the host kind, but the room was very large and spacious. As a solo female traveler, I loved that the space was both large, and that all entry points had locks to them so I felt safe being there and also leaving my valuables in the room while I was out during the day. The hosts were incredibly kind and understanding and were there to answer any questions I had. The town itself is very small, which is what I wanted, but it is accessible to other areas by train easily and the hosts are willing to drive you places for a small fee. I went to hike and decompress and this guesthouse made my experience a 10/10! Would recommend to anyone visiting Izu!

It is not a problem as all guests were quiet after 10:00pm, but the walls are very thin - something to consider if you are sensitive to noise. But I didn't have any issues!

A few minutes' walk from the tram station, with a convenient location—just three stops to the scenic Kanzaki Coast and two stops to Izu-Kogen, both popular attraction hubs. The owner couple is incredibly warm and hospitable, always ready to help, making you feel at home. It’s a great spot for a relaxing one- or two-night stay—soak in hot springs, stroll along the coast, and enjoy fresh, delicious sashimi. Note that the surrounding area lacks amenities, so it might not suit those seeking a lively atmosphere.

The property was extremely clean and the host was welcoming. The closest convenience store in Japan was closed and the host offered us a car ride to the next closest convenience store. Because of the number of bags we carried, he also gave us a ride to the train station after we checked out. We deeply appreciated these gestures since we had been walking quite a bit with our bags. The location is a nice getaway from the busy cities since you literally are next to the sea.

Really minor: the host forgot to provide towels in the room, but quickly had them available when asked.

This place is secluded! Not your typical night out in the city. I’d say the best perk is being so close to the outdoor onsen onset I the road. The host is also very nice! It’s a steep walk down from the train station so maybe contact him in advance and he can pick you up!

Not much in the area. (Almost nothing to do) The convenience store closes at 8 so stock up on snacks and beers before hand!

Host was really nice and explained everything about area. On our last day he drove us to train station so we wouldn’t struggle with our bags. Hill with train station is very steep and it would take us a lot of time and energy to do it without his help :) Thank you. Will definitely recommend to stay and we will come if we will be in the area.

Ken is a wonderful host, very friendly and accommodating. The guesthouse is in traditional Japanese style with nice tatamis and sliding doors, and located right next to the ocean. The town has a convenience store, a nice seafood restaurant, an onsen, and the train station is just a 3 minute walk away with trains every 30 minutes. We liked it very much.

The facility was in the style of a Japanese house. It was very clean and large, by the sea, and the garden was very beautiful. It had everything I needed as a solo traveler. The owners was very kind and helpful. They even took the trouble to drop me off at the station. Thank you very much. Everything was great :)

The support of the friendly staff, and the good location near the fishing port and hot springs, with bath and face towels, toothbrushes, and paper cups as amenities.

Because the hotel is in an old house, there were some concerns: the showers were fine, but there was not enough hot water to store hot water for the baths, and the facilities were showing their age, but overall, the hotel was kept clean, which was not a problem given the cost of the stay.

Good location like only five mins from train station to the hotel. Really convenient to travel to izu kogen or izu shimoda if you got a two day pass or three day pass. Close to the ocean so you can hear the waves all days

A little bit cold due to rainy weather but you can use an AC in the room.

The owners are amazing, they really care about you being comfortable. The area is super quiet, it’s a small and beautiful town. You can take a train (every 30minutes) to koghen or atagawa which has restaurants and a beach, it’s one stop from hokawa. I’d really recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep.
