Beautiful views, clean, and good value. The shuttle made it very convenient to travel to and from the station. The breakfast had delicious Japanese and Western choices. We would love to come back.

Warm welcome in the car park, then through to reception. Great view of the bay from the room. Well-equipped bathroom and good facilities in the room. Comy beds, and a good-sized sofa in the room.

Warm welcome in the car park, then through to reception. Great view of the bay from the room. Well-equipped bathroom and good facilities in the room. Comy beds, and a good-sized sofa in the room. Restaurant excellent - at dinner, there was a good selection of meals and some outstanding Izu wines; breakfast buffet was great, wide selection of dishes and drinks. Location close to Perry Road museum, and Ryosenji Temple, and some small kissaten.
Ideal location to explore Minami and Nishi Izu, hiking, watersports, and even as far as the famous waterfealls at Kawazu Nana Daru, Cape Irozaki, and the beaches on the suth coast. Bonus was visiting the museum home of Yasunori Kawabata, the author of Izu Dancing Girl - the famous Odoriko.

What could be improved: Only a single elevator. Entrance to restaurant a little confusing between the toilets. Breakfast buffet excellent, but some items such as coffee stand are really in awkward places.

The peace and tranquillity of the hotel. The scenic location near the sea. A haven from the busy city. A place to be one with nature and the quiet pace. Breakfast was wonderful. Large variety.

The peace and tranquillity of the hotel. The scenic location near the sea. A haven from the busy city. A place to be one with nature and the quiet pace. Breakfast was wonderful. Large variety.

What could be improved: Perhaps the after evening activities in the hotel should include an area for relaxing and having after dinner drinks. Maybe hotel can provide coffee, tea and little snacks at the lounge for guests to mingle and relax after a day’s activity. However this is just a suggestion.
