There were no public transportation, restaurants, or convenience stores nearby, but the hotel provided shuttle bus service free of charge to and from the Izu-Kogen station where everything was. On the flip side, a 5 minute walk gets you to the coast and the views there were breathtaking! The private hot spring was amazing as well. Our room does not include breakfast but we were able to make reservations for breakfast. It was buffet style with both Japanese and Western food at a pretty reasonable price. There was also a restaurant inside the hotel that serves dinner but we didn’t get to try it.

The location was near the coast and the area is very quiet, good for relaxing. During summer is probably the best moment to visit. You have an entire cottage for you and there are a lot of facilities, bbq, tennis court and pool (only open in July and August)

The nearest convenience store was at around 25 minutes walk and the station as well is at 25 minutes walk, so if you don’t have a car be prepared to walk a bit. There is a bus stop nearby that runs every hour (more or less). Eventually I went around just fine, just be prepared to walk.

I mean, exceeded my expectations and BEYOND! Everything was so clean, private onsen, full tatami to sleep for the night, even used two bed spreads to make myself a cushier sleep on the tatami mats. Full kitchen and bath. Cannot recommend enough. Also just in a gorgeous area, with a UNESCO cliff hike literally next door!!! Also, the staff were amazing (especially the night shift when I checked in around 8pm) and were patient in using google translate with me.

We were super satisfied and we enjoyed every moment here. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. Room (actually 2-floor apartment) was great. Japanese beds - only futons. But they were very pleasant for sleeping. Kitchen equipment was good but we did not use it much. A private onsen was great. The place itself is wonderful (200 meters walking to the sea coast through wild forest). We were there after season, so it was very quiet with few guests. We enjoyed rich breakfasts (japanese style blended with western: croissants, jam etc) as well as wonderful served japanese dinners (diverse, nice, tasty). Overall great experience.

It was not straightforward to communicate in English but we enjoyed this as a part of japanese experience (... and everything was easy with the help of google translator).

Best of all is the private onsen. Furthermore we were lucky and got upgraded to a bigger apartment. Rooms are a bit dated, but in good condition and pretty clean. Ample space for parking. We love the surroundings: Jogasaki Coast with its volcanic stone formations and two volcanoes.

No toaster. Workspace in the kitchen is extremely small. No desk and no dinner table in the room.

Very good kaiseki dinner and breakfast with local fish and seasonal ingredients. Spacious traditional house, private bath with onsen water. Bath tube is big enough for two women. Balcony gives luxurious feeling of being in ancient Japan. Quiet place, easy to get to volcanic shore.

TV was a bit old and I couldn't connect my devices to it. No convenient store nearby. Futon mattress was harder than I expected.

Private onsen, very polite and smiling staff, spacious room, microwave to warm food and amenities

The final road to the room and the road to the reception lobby are quite small due to the bushes along the road. It would be nice if the hetel make it wider so customers do not have to worry that the bushes will scratch the car's doors or side mirrors.

As I informed my estimated check in time, the cottage had the air conditioner running keeping the place in perfect temperature at our arrival. The cottage is simple but it has everything necessary and the private onsen is the best! Everything was very clean and tidy.

Private Onsen. Very spacious apartment - bedroom, living room, dining room

Izu in generally has a lot of spiders, with fully spun webs. Sometime spiders do appear at the balcony of the accomodations

The hot spring and the friendliness of the staff, especially for our late night check-in was heart warming.

The selection of the snacks and drink is limited at the reception office.
