Everything was perfect. Especially the staff were very nice and friendly. I really enjoyed the spa.

Wish the latest shuttle bus can be a little later so that we can have time to enjoy the night of Shimoda. Only a small wish LOL. Beyond that everything was perfect.

We loved everything and everyone. We were surprised with how many languages the staff could speak. Pool was awesome! Staff was awesome! Beach is amazing and super close! There is great onsen! Right by hotel there is a convenience store and a small Hawaiian cafe which sells great lunch. There is a rental store for surfing and body boards etc.. We had breakfast included and we reserved dinner every night by 4pm. On our last night at the hotel we ordered steak from additional menu. Food was amazing and so well presented. There were washers and dryers, and machine that sells detergent for 50 yen. There is a store inside the hotel where we could buy drinks, snacks and gifts, bathing suits and shirts, beach sandals and sleepers. Prices were very reasonable and gifts were not higher price than anywhere else. One thing we wished for was to have a gym inside the hotel, or indoor pool during the rainy days, although we swam under the rainy day.

View from the room (6th floor) was fantastic. Close to main beach. Pool (especially kids pool) access was easy. Dinner and breakfast buffets had lots of variety and really great for families Onsen was very nice!

Saw several kids slip around the pool area - some parts were slippery and not well maintained! Hotel shop closed most of the day Many people left things on the chairs by the pool for hours while they did other things - so these chairs couldn't be used (annoying for people who were actually at the pool!) Many ants everywhere.....

This is a lovely hotel, very traditional and it's obviously been there a while. The common areas were a bit damp smelling in places, but the room itself was very large and had been beautifully refurbished. We didn't use the onsen, but really appreciated the bath in our room with an exceptional view to the beach. The room was impeccably clean. Recommend that you include your meals in your stay here as there is nowhere else in the vicinity to eat, but also be aware that if you are not Japanese, the food is! The meals are very seafood heavy, which is to be expected as this area is famous for seafood. I found the food quality is fine, but they cater for big numbers so it was a bit flavourless compared to food we'd had elsewhere in Japan. The shuttle service is also a bonus, with the hotel shuttle travelling to and from the Shimoda station every half an hour for most of the day, great for a trip to do sightseeing for the day. All in all, this is a really nice hotel for a more traditional experience.

Everything was as expected and true to the previous reviews.

- Personel was very friendly and helpful - Location with one of the best beaches in Izu right outside the door - Beautiful room with a great ocean view - Beautiful onsen - Huge breakfest buffet and nice dinner

- Pool was not ready yet in end of May, altough it was very warm. Due to the nice beach not such a big deal - No towels for the beach were available at the hotel

The hotel was very nice, and baby friendly. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Great views from our room and easy access to the beach. We stayed here to visit the Kawazuzakura Festival and we would definitely visit again in the summer months.

The lighting in the room was either too bright or too dark

Excellent ocean view room with soaking tub. comfortable beds, and lounge chair. The room was more spacious than we have come to expect in Japan. we also appreciated the frequent shuttle service into town and the outdoor hotspring. Generous breakfast. My wife enjoyed shiatsu massage through hotel.

No complaints.

Me, my friend and our kids coming here at the end of summer vacation for last 4 years. We love how it clean, how people are working and helpful there, we love onsen, we like very much location very close to beach so your kids just few steps from ocean, area for kid’s fireworks with everything you need. We even don’t want try another place for stay lately…

The breakfast this year has become more meager…yeah.

The view from the hotel is great! And they have a machine that can translate different languages, cool! Staff are great!

Some facilities are outdated, eg hair dryer in private bath room, and the dryer not really working well.

The location opposite beautiful Shirahama Beach, the views from the rooms, the onsen, the Japanese experience. The shuttle bus from Shimoda was really convenient.

The food was amazing but not very popular with our western children.
