Location is in the heart of Izu, the place well known for onsen. So I guess it’s acceptable to be slightly rural. Great facilities - private onsen in room, free cute Yukata provided. The food is wonderful, we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. Great views, right beside the river.

However, it’s really unable to ignore the mouldy smell even after hours in the room. I guess it’s unavoidable for ryokan mainly with wood materials and nearby the river… If u are not a person that sensitive to smell, the scenery, food, facilities are definitely good.

The location is awesome! Being in the 🛁 bath tub of the private onsen room, with the sound of the waterfall soothing me, with the backdrop of the beginning of the Fall season colored leaves, was awesome!

The nature around, the sound of a river, peace and beauty. The room was wide, a private onsen was very nice.

The hotel is very old and needs major renovation. Staff is inhospitable, unfriendly.

Expecting buffet but getting kaiseki! Delicious!

I wanted a glass of milk but none available.

I love the outdoor bath tub.

The room smells like cigarette smoke.

I loved the tranquility and area surrounding the location. The property itself has its own unique character and suits the aesthetic well. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. They noticed we checked out a day earlier and we were late to breakfast, but allowed us to still serve and eat something which was really nice.

The room was very nice, however, a little bit dated. I think the photos online could be more recent to properly depict what is offered. Not much to fault though as it is a beautiful place in a lovely location.

The personal onsen on the terrace was super enjoyable, though the view was blocked by the wooden railing, which took away the magical view while enjoying the onsen. If you like being surrounded by nature but still crave the comfort of a room and bed, then this place will definitely itch that scratch for you.

As is often the case with hotels like this, the building and rooms feel a bit dated. We stayed during a discount season price, which definitely made it worth the stay, but I don't think I would feel the same way if I had to pay the usual full price. Also as noted, I don't really understand why with the amazing view available, it is hidden away behind a thick wooden railing when you are using your own private onsen, unlike the pictures which are showing off the amazing view, but this is only the case when you use the shared/public onsen.

Outdoor bath

Location and availability of privet open air bath.

Housekeeping threw away all our personal papers we left on a table. Boring traditional music plays on the speaker in the room, it does not turn off until 10 pm. The hotel restaurant is hot, the air conditioning in the hotel is set to the maximum temperature. The restaurant menu hasn’t changed within last 5 months since we stayed there last time.

Location and private open air bath.

Unfriendly staff. Tasteless, never changing menu. Very old building with no renovation and annoying music playing in your room until 10pm that you can't turn off!
