We arrived for the breakfast just a few minutes after it opened, so it's safe to assume that the few people who were already in the restaurant had arrived just before us and were the only other guests, which were max 6 other people in total. There was different (very) small dishes, among them fried rice, which my partner took the last portion of. I waited for a while because I thought they would come out with more, but nobody did.Then I asked the female staff, which looks South Asian and I'm gonna assume is Indian due to her accent, if I could get some, and she points to the gohan (white rice). I explain again that I'd like to have the fried rice, and she reacts like she never heard of it and basically tells me there is no such thing, so I tell her that my boyfriend just got one. She then goes ask the kitchen staff, and when she comes back, for some reason, it seems like she's struggling to find the words in English, and I assume she is going to say that they ran out of it. So I try to help her and say "so, there is no more fried rice?" to which she replies "oh yeah, only white rice, is that ok?", and what am I supposed to say, of course I shrug and say "well, ok". Then she immediately shouts to the cook in the kitchen, in front of me, "it's ok, you don't need to make more!". Like, seriously? I'm not sure if she's just completely clueless, shameless or she thought I wouldn't understand what she just said? I was already disappointed that the breakfast was not served at the table but it was a sad buffet, with ridiculously tiny dishes, and still they were so cheap that they couldn't cook enough food for every guest. How come it runs out before every guest is served? The size of the sashimi served was like a joke (see photos). The dishes were a mix of Japanese and Western foods, but there was not even basic stuff like butter or cheese for the bread.

- There was a storm when we stayed here, but the onsen bath looking out to the sea was very cosy and memorable under the rain. I enjoyed this more than a much more expensive ryokan we stayed at in Kinosaki. - The room was very spacious and clean, great bed

The hotel was not vegetarian friendly - they didn't offer any vegetarian meals on the menu, and there were few vegetarian options at breakfast. Plus I didn't realise that the hotel would be so far from other cafes and restaurants. We didn't have our own car or other means of transport, and we weren't able to walk anywhere for coffee or dinner - we had to go to Shimoda or beyond for that. So that made it quite inconvenient for meals - we ended up just eating rice and boiled eggs from 7-Eleven a few times! This is the main reason it didn't meet my expectations - I thought there would be at least one vegetarian option on the menu so that we could eat meals at the hotel in the evenings. The eBike was great but it was large and heavy and ran out of battery quite fast. They gave me a replacement, but when I tried to attach it it didn't work and then I was miles away from the hotel with a big heavy eBike that didn't work. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to communicate with the staff.

Our room was huge, with a nice big comfy bed and a lovely balcony with beautiful views of the ocean. We had a little onsen spa on our balcony, which I loved relaxing in. The hotel also had options to rent e-bikes, which was really fun. There was so much nature around the area, and easy access to hiking trails from the hotel, with a free shuttle to Shimoda station at certain times. The Izu Peninsula area in general is stunning and I loved exploring the beaches, scuba diving, etc. I also loved the little island right in front of the hotel, and the birds flying around it every day.

It is a little run down in places & the room was very hot when we arrived.

The staff were lovely, the dinner was delicious & we loved the view!

Stayed in August 2025

Needs updating and you definitely need a car as no shop or anything nearby. Hotel has set dinner but was the same choice each day.

Amazing view from the room and breakfast included. Big bedrooms.

The property and the decor is a little outdated, and though it is generally well maintained, it didn’t feel as fancy as it looks on the website. The shower on the terrace was faulty with only boiling hot water coming out of it, so we couldn’t use it. The staff were very nice but seemed very inexperienced, which led to a couple of issues, including being charged twice for the room (I am still waiting for a response from the hotel, several weeks later!)

The location is beautiful! We really enjoyed the onsen in the room, and the rooms were very clean.

We arrived 2 hours early and was told our room was clean and available but if we wanted to check in early it was 2000Y per hour. Never in all of my years of travel including the last 8 months in 50+ hotels and aiirbnbs have I EVER been asked to pay to check in early. Not a nice way to begin our stay. We only had the breakfast buffet one morning and it was nice, not great. We never had lunch or dinner at the hotel.

The view is breathtaking and don't forget to go out at night when most of lights are off and there is little light pollution, you can see the milky way!!!! Rooms are a great size and clean. The bed is very comfortable, the linens and the towels are excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful. Location is great for the views but a 10 minute drive into town or a 45 minute walk for anything else you may need as there are no mini marts, restaurants out on the peninsula.

Stayed in July 2025

The location is a bit remote, so there is no convenience store nearby, but there is a shuttle bus from the hotel to Shin-Shimoda station, so it’s easy to go there.

The view was great, the room was spacious and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It has a nice open air bath where you can relax after a long day of sightseeing.

Not wishing to disrespect other comments, the standards / age of some areas of the hotel and so called lounge services need attention that has perhaps not been noted elsewhere by booking.com The so called massage chairs ? some looked awfully tatty and worthy of a rubbish dump. I have refrained from sending a photo as it would be too insulting. The staff were absolutely excellent but the Management seemed mostly ambivalent to facilities / service and could do with training in hotel hospitality management IMHO. The restaurant fixed menu pre ordered was disappointing and maybe we were spoilt after so many other excellent restaurant visits across Japan. The so called special beef was a joke but we had come from Kanazawa +North and Takayama so had been spoilt there on beef quality, portion size and cooking. The wine selection? non existent other than being proposed expensive off the menu offerings. The lounge bar for evening drinks service? Staff? Management?

Location, Location, Location. Unbeatable room views. Excellent supporting staff who couldn't have done more.

It is hard to find and the hotel name was not on my navigator. I suggest you use the phone number if your navigator allows it. This issue is not the hotel's fault.

It is a beautiful hotel with superb views from all rooms. The rooms are lovely. A special onsen is available. Breakfast is top class.

The sashimi dinner set is not recommended due to its price and quality, with the rice sticking together. The pasta in another set is much better, but the first spicy wonton I've never seen before, it's just spicy, and you can't even see the chili.

The perfect location, with the sea outside the window and a surprise island across the way. The staff were very warm and polite, which was memorable.

It is by the sea. It is expected that the sound of wind could be loud.

I recommend booking the larger room. We got windows from the south and west sides and thus spectacular ocean view. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the sunrise due to the weather conditions. Breakfast and dinner are decent. We paid 6000 yen each for the dinner. It includes for example quite a few pieces of sashimi, a whole Kinmedai (a little too sweet). tempuras, steak (very small piece), and deserts (so so). The waitresses were very kind to us. The hotel is kind of far from the train station and shuttles are available at 3pm, 4pm, 5pm. In other words, if you plan to have dinner somewhere else, you will need to take the taxi or bus to get back to the hotel. Onsen is great! One of the best we experienced in Izu. Message chairs in the hall are comfortable too.

The whole place is a bit old and there was a smell in my room in the morning from the kitchen making breakfast. I had treated myself to a more expensive venue for my last evening of my trip, but I’ve been in more tasteful places with better food for half the price.

The view was nice and they had massage chairs.

Nothing we didn't like. If you were not doing the half board option, it may be tricky for evening meals as it is on the peninsular and away from Shinoda.

Very friendly staff and spacious rooms. We really enjoyed using the private onsen (for additional fee) and the meals were delicious. Two night stay and different menus each night (half board option).

The breakfast wasn’t the best. The dinner was nice, but the same option every night. It would have been nice to have several options.

The spacious room and friendly staff. Nice views from the balcony and basically all rooms.

The location was ok but still could not find any convenient store or restaurant or grocery shop. Atleast we may have to travel 3-4KM to find one. And also felt room was bit pricey but still the view worth it.

The View from room was awesome. The bed in the room was so comfy and big. Also the room was neat & clean.The breakfast served was good.

There was nothing we did not like

The traditional breakfast was amazing but I felt bad because I could not eat it all as so much food. The second day we had the international breakfast and we were able to eat all of that. Once we had eaten enough we asked them not to bring any more as we were full. They would have happily kept bringing food. Loved the quiet location and amazing views. The staff could not do enough for us.
