    Nothing! It’s just a stop on the local train from Kawazu - not far to walk or drive - a little further with heavy luggage but not too far

    What an incredible spot! A traditional Japanese ryokan hotel with the most wonderful staff (a very lovely family) who are so kind and made my mum and I feel very welcome. Gorgeous clean rooms and beautiful private Onsens (3 total! More than some larger ones we’ve stayed at). The home cooking was incredible too - definitely eat dinner and breakfast here! Thank you so much we hope to be back one day.

    The room needs some sort of white noise machine, as the dead silence of the night means any small noise happening in the area is very noticeable

    Great hosts, they really exceeded expectations in communication,p and their food was lovely. Onsens were nice as well and the expanded hours was a huge plus.

    Nothing 10/10 for me!

    Yurie and her husband were amazing hosts. The room was very spacious and comfortable and access to private onsens - indoor and outdoor. The food was INCREDIBLE… I think some of the best I experienced in Japan - do eat there, you will not be disappointed! There are a lot of great hikes accessible by public transport from the accommodation. It was a wonderful oasis of tranquility in between the business of Kyoto and Tokyo. I can’t recommend enough, I would definitely stay again if ever on the Izu peninsula.

    We loved everything about Hoshi Meguri. The hospitality, service and guest engagement were outstanding and the facilities were excellent. We had dinner & breakfast and they were both truly awesome. The half board package is most definitely worth the money. Lovely family run inn. We would love to return one day.

    Right person at the right place! Super japanese ambiance. Fantastic traditional onsen 10 mn walking. Very quiet and try at least once dinner at the Riokan. Breakfast is also very good. Futon super comfy. Staff is delightful, good english and helpful Lazy small town but shimoda is only one train station away. 1 train per hour...or bus.

    The road leading to the hotel is narrow if you are driving a larger car.

    The host was lovely, warm and responsive to communication. The food (dinner + breakfast) was fantastic, and the hotel was very homey. There is on site parking.

    We appreciated the hosts’ thoughtfulness, above and beyond their hospitality.

    The hosts were incredibly kind, hospitable and also able to communicate in fluent English. The property has a quiet and tranquil ambience, so it is very cosy. The rooms are very well maintained, clean and spacious. The pitcher of tea in the fridge was a nice welcoming gift especially in the heat of summer and best of all, the tea was replenishable too. The 3 private onsens are great for relaxing after a long day out and I slept like a log afterwards on extremely comfortable futon bed which had been discreetly set up by our hosts. My family made our booking at the very last minute and we weren’t able to respond promptly to the host’s message pertaining to my wishful query about availability of dinner. Despite this messaging breakdown on my part and even though they did not cater for dinner service during the summer, the hosts still graciously went ahead and prepared dinner just in case we should want to dine-in. We truly enjoyed this delicious dinner of homemade chicken curry rice served with seasonal local vegetables, fresh juicy pears and the home brewed umeshu. Next morning, the refined and lavish breakfast was just super amazing. Compliments to the chef! I'll wish to stay here again, solely to savor this ryokan's excellent meals. Hoshi Meguri ryokan stay was the highlight of my family's Japan holiday this time. Thanks to Yurie and family.

    We loved everything about our stay here! The hosts are extremely nice and very helpful with recommendations etc. It was so easy for us to communicate as foreigners too as they're fluent in English as well! They accommodated our late arrival, free parking and us not eating meat and prepared a giant delicious feast for dinner the next day. The building also has 3 private Onsens, which were really comfortable. Honestly, peak Ryokan experience, we're so glad we stayed here, cannot recommend this place enough!
