We are family of three, going to Kawazu during Cherry blossum festival in February. The location is not too far from the train station and literally beside the beach. The place was also not far from the starting point of the cherry blossum walk (3km along the waterway). They sent us a message beforehand that they have no staff who could speak English, but that was not quite a obstacle while we were there as they were all trying in their own way (translator, leaflet in English, simple vocab). They offered many amneties (toothbrush and paste, comb, razor, yukata as pajamas). The meal were like a banquet. We stayed for 2 nights and the meal were differed for each night, as well as breakfast. Drinks (beer Nd coffee) were offered at the designated time together with snack. Would recommend to anyone who going to visit Kawazu.

Only need some more guideline during the meal. They served like a whole course almost at the same time, hence we didn't know what to eat first, and the eating etiquette. They prepared what they were going to serve in English (via QR code) yet we were not fully understand.

Wonderful location right on the ocean and only minutes away from the Cherry Blossom trees. Small intimate town. Food for both dinner and breakfast was delicious and Instagram photo worthy. Staff was sincerely friendly, helpful and not intrusive. The onsite baths were clean and very relaxing. Bonus were the treats in the room from the local bakery.

The Kaiseiki meals were immaculately prepared. You could see the staff’s attention to detail, from the well pressed yukatas, the careful and conscientious meal service, the small treats left in our rooms and the rest area which had coffee and treats. The staff went out of the way to use their English translation devices to ensure that instruction was understood. There was even a QR code at meal times which led to an English menu. There was also an English speaking staff, Ridhwan, on our second stay who was very helpful and attentive. We enjoyed our conversations with him. Overall, we enjoyed the lovely service and wonderful food at the ryokan!

Fantastic location, first property at the beach side and only 5 minutes from the train station. Well preserved installations/facilities (tatami floor rooms with a sea view, restaurant hall, lobby, onsen areas). Fantastic selection of food for dinners and breakfast as part of the meal plans, cooked perfectly and served just as well. Finally, and for us most importantly, the staff is simply exceptional. They treated us like family from the moment we arrived till we left. Our stay was fantastic already, but they made it perfect.

The property, while well maintained, is a little bit on the older side.

Large room. Beautiful ocean view. Comfortable parking. The most variety in seafood I have ever seen in hotel meals. Great onsen. Also, I was unfortunate enough to forget my camera in the hotel and they were kind enough to ship it to me. Thank you!

Nothing

Rooms, private bath, food, staff, all were excellent! Even though there was some language barrier, the staff tried their best with all. It all felt very much like a guesthouse run by a caring family. Very warm and professional at the same time.

Nothing to complain about, excellent service.

A stunning location on the beach with picturesque baths and delicious meals. While most staff do not speak English, each has an electronic translator on them that does good work. Having a little Japanese under your belt will help ease things. Can't beat washing away the day in a rotenburo overlooking the sea.

The futon mats were showing their age and did not provide any cushioning.

Enjoyed the seaside location of the ryokan and it was easily accessible by LE Odoriko train. The staff were very kind and helpful and the kaiseki meals were beautifully presented and delicious. The rooms and facilities were very clean as well.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

The view is awesome, staff is generally friendly, and room is spacious.

We have to pay for Onsen tax even when we didn’t use it upon checkout. Bath room is dated, and the wallpaper in our room is stained.

Quiet peaceful beach front with onsen. Meals were amazing, high end Japanese cuisine.

Breakfast at 8am was too early for my child and me. But we had to start on time as it was a full course meal served by the staff
