The main feature is obviously the perfect location: built onto the cliffs of Tsubasawa bay, providing a picturesque view from any point of the hotel, including the reception panorama window, the dining area, the onsen pools and the room windows. All built around the guests' peaceful and undisturbed leisure, the breakfast and dinner provide a wide variety of traditional Japanese seefood, incl. the bluefin tuna days, sashimi and sushi varieties. The rooms are spacey and comfortable (expecting a traditional Japanese tatami floor + futon bed interior), the tea ceremony set is a plus. The Tsubasawa beach is accessible right at the bottom of the hotel, providing an practically private beach.

Some of the interior are noticeably old (e.g. bathroom taps, toilet bowl), but these all fit to the peaceful Japanese philosophy of the place (don't hurt what's still functioning well).

Incredible views, very comfortable rooms, the hotel is fitted out in kind of an 80’s vibe which we loved. Free beer from 3pm-5pm which you can enjoy in front of an amazing view from the 7th floor. Breakfast is ok but the buffet dinner is incredible, unlimited sake, wine, beer and the food is next level - they cut the sashimi and make the sushi to order in front of you. Fresh crab, many other kinds of dishes. It’s pricey at ¥8,800 per person but worth it even if just for one night for the experience. Great staff and great Onsen too.

Bottom floor of the hotel has kind of an abandoned/haunted arcade vibe, bit weird. You can walk down to the beach but the path down there is falling to bits and the beach is covered in rubbish. None of the pools were in action - out of season though so understandable.

We opted for half board in Japanese style room. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was spacious. The buffet meals were excellent. Lovely sea views from rooms.

Hotel frontage is nice and modern looking but inside the hotel, some areas are dated and need updating. The carpets are a bit tired and some paintwork is required on the room balcony. None of these things had any impact on our stay, which we really enjoyed but it may be good to know to manage some travellers' expectations.

Hotel feels like a Las Vegas luxury hotel - but with a much better location right at the Dogashima Coast and we were able to enjoy the view from our room. Many things to do here, e.g. playing with the kids table tennis, arcade, karaoke. They also offer massages. Breakfast buffet is very good and the view from the restaurant over the coastline amazing. Rooms were less spacious than other coastal hotels we visited on Izu, but the tatami beds were very comfortable.

I don't know when this hotel was built but it's definitely not young but, oh my, what a hotel!!! The location is stunning with an amazing sunset view but moreover, the hotel itself looks like 1980's peak luxury, we felt like we were in a James Bond movie, one with Roger Moore! Of course, this is a ryokan as well so expect a confortable tatami room as a bedroom with a view on the sea (all rooms have a sea view), a delicious traditional japanese dinner includind all kinds of local dishes and a buffet (who doesn't love a buffet!), a superb 80's glory onsen open all night onlooking the sea and in the morning, a wonderful breakfast buffet composed mostly of japanese dishes but with a good amount of western options as well (there even was a soft serve machine at the breakfast buffet!). About the baths, we haven't asked if there was a tattoo policy but since me and my husband both have many of them and there was a lot of older guests staying the same night as us, we decided to go to the baths around 9-10pm and had absolutely no issues about it. The staff was wonderful, the location was wonderful, we thought everything was wonderful! We would go back anytime!

I personally loved everything about this hotel but if you are looking for a trendy decor and a young clientele, this hotel is not for you.

The view from the room was extremely beautiful. They have this great Onsen with a sea view. The hotel was nice and clean and the breakfast was very good. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. And they had a shuttle service to a near by attractions. They also had a nice indoor game rooms where you could play ping pong and such. They had free drinks most of the day and free beer for 2 hours each day

The beach was rocky and a bit dirty so it wasn’t very pleasant to just lay on the beach. But it was beautiful never the less. Also the pool was out of service when we were there.

Excellent staff support for our comfortable stay. Beautiful view. This is a perfect example of the family-style hot spring resort that is a more affordable experience based on the ryokan model. Personally, I love it for the amenities, large tatami rooms, buffet, hot springs and general sense of relaxation. New Ginsui is a perfect version of that style and exactly what I wanted.

Loved it all.

The view is amazing, watching the sun set. The service is good too.

The buffet dinner has a good variety of food. However, the restaurant is quite crowded. The breakfast buffet is the usual Japanese. Should have more fresh fruits. Again, crowded.

Amazing hotel. Located on a picturesque beach. The view from the room and the lobby was insanely beautiful. Clouds hid the sunset from us but we still enjoyed it. The hotel staff goes above and beyond to provide the best service
