I stayed here for a solo getaway. In a quiet setting, I soaked in the Onsen, relaxed in the massage chair, and enjoyed meals full of creative touches—making it a trip with outstanding hospitality. It has become an unforgettable Accommodation for me. Thank you.

Ayu no Kaze is located in a residential area up a fairly steep hill from downtown Ito. Since the nearest drink vending machine and 7-Eleven are further down the hill, it’s best to buy anything you may need before check-in. We stayed in the Room called “Kochi,” which had a water dispenser. From the Room, you can enjoy panoramic views of Suruga Bay, Hatsushima Island, and Ito Station. Check-in, check-out, and all meals were handled in the Room, and it also came with a private open-air view bath with free-flowing hot spring water—making it a perfect stay-in Accommodation. The bath was slightly compact, but the tub was made of hinoki cypress, and the water was mild and wonderfully warming. Above all, being able to bathe anytime we liked was truly appreciated. Of course, we could also enjoy the scenery from the bath. Amenities covered everything we needed. Each guest is provided one bath towel initially, but extra towels can be brought upon request. We would have liked paper towels at the sink area and chairs in the Room. Meals included not only Izu-style seafood but also delicious beef; they were a satisfying Japanese-Western blend in both taste and portion size. Dessert and coffee were served after both dinner and breakfast as well. All staff members were pleasant, easy to talk to, and friendly. Both pick-up and send-off service were flawless. Even though it was raining, it made sense that they were fully booked.

The staff seemed quite young overall, and everyone was working hard. When I spoke to them, they were friendly and enjoyable to chat with. Dinner was creative and delicious, and breakfast was also great with a fun variety of options. On the way there, I took a ferry that arrived in just two minutes—it was an interesting experience. It’s worth staying at least once.

They kindly accommodated our last-minute request for a pickup. We enjoyed dinner in a calm private room. The seafood dishes were exceptionally fresh, served with restaurant-quality tableware and presentation. The entire property was spotless, and it was clear that the hostess and staff clean thoroughly without cutting corners. This well-reviewed Accommodation was warm, clean, and great value for money, so I highly recommend it. The cake was delicious as well. It made us want to visit again. Thank you very much.

I made a Reservation for one night with breakfast included. Unfortunately, the room was on the mountain side and did not have an ocean view, but breakfast was wonderful while dining with a view of the sea. I was also able to relax in the large public bath while looking out over the ocean. Even if you come empty-handed, you can borrow a fishing rod and enjoy fishing. If you want to buy bait, you would normally need to go to a nearby tackle shop, but it was already closed, so the Hotel staff kindly prepared bait for us and we were able to enjoy fishing the next morning. Thank you very much to all the staff.

As soon as we stepped inside, we were amazed by the gorgeous interior and how much closer the ocean was than we had imagined. The ocean view was truly breathtaking—an experience you don’t often get. The welcome drinks at check-in came in many varieties, which made it feel special and was perfect hospitality on a hot day. Both dinner and breakfast were prepared at the time we requested, so we could relax. For dinner, the BBQ included local meats, seafood, vegetables, and more, with explanations provided for each item. It was our first time using this type of grill, but the staff kindly showed us how to use it, so even beginners could grill everything deliciously with confidence. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and we were very satisfied with dinner. We usually have to prepare everything ourselves for a BBQ (including cleanup), so it was great that the Hotel took care of everything. After dinner, we enjoyed coffee while watching the sunset. Three types of coffee beans and an electric grinder were provided, along with instructions on how to use the grinder and recommended grind sizes—so we could enjoy freshly brewed coffee and spend a truly special time. There was a jacuzzi on the terrace bath area, and our kids were thrilled since it was their first time. The amenities for children included cute dolphin toothbrushes and sponges, which they loved. For adults, there were ReFa shower heads as well as a hair dryer, hair iron/curling iron tools? , hair oil? etc., leaving our hair smoother than usual—we were delighted. The croissants and roast beef at breakfast were also delicious. We would definitely like to stay again.

The villa was more spacious and cleaner than we expected—almost too luxurious for just the two of us. The large open-air bath outside was wonderfully relaxing, and we enjoyed the Onsen while feeling close to nature, soaking many times. Mt. Yufu looked beautiful right in front of us, and the indoor Onsen bath was also great. We only had breakfast, but it was prepared in the refrigerator, so we could eat at whatever time we liked in the kitchen, and it was delicious. We’d love to stay again in a different season.

The Room is comfortable with a pleasant view, and you can enjoy the nearby Heart Rock all to yourself on an early morning walk. The homemade vegetable-rich breakfast prepared by the warm and kind owner was also very delicious.

We visited with my daughter’s family—four generations in total. As soon as you enter, the ocean is right in front of you through the large glass windows. There was a big pool, and everything was set up for a BBQ. The kids never got bored—they ran around the living room and went up to the second floor, having a great time until it was time to leave. It’s a very clean Facility, and the location is perfect. We’re already saying we’d love to stay again. Please note that there are no seasonings or plastic wrap provided, so bring what you need. Also, the rice cooker was unusual—it’s the type where you add water to the outer pot, which was hard to figure out. I think it would be helpful to have written instructions. Thank you very much for taking care of us during our stay.

They said it was very comfortable, and the Onsen was relaxing.

This was my first visit, and the food was delicious. I also appreciated being able to take home the crab I couldn’t finish. The Onsen water felt wonderfully smooth, and we were very satisfied to have it reserved for our family’s private use. The location was also great—right by the sea, with a beautiful sunset—and it made me want to visit even in a season other than crab season. I’d love to come back again next year.

We were looking for accommodation for our family of five and one dog, and we found this place. Since we live in an area without the sea, both our family and dog were thrilled with the ocean right in front of us. The absence of a TV actually increased family conversations, and we felt closer through activities like Othello, card games, soccer, and badminton. The manager was very kind and attentive, and we would love to visit again. Thank you very much!

This Hotel offers a beautiful contrast: sugarcane fields right in front, and beyond them the Miyako Blue sea with Irabu Bridge in view. From the 2nd floor we could see the ocean, but I don’t think it’s visible from the 1st floor. The Room is a 10-tatami-size studio. The toilet and bath are separate, and the bathtub is spacious, so it feels comfortable to stay in. There were twin beds and a sofa, and amenities such as a refrigerator, kettle, and hair dryer were provided. The only thing missing was pajamas. The location is between a residential area and sugarcane fields. The roads are narrow and winding, so without navigation—especially at night when it’s very dark—you may not be able to find it. I recommend setting your GPS before you go! Recommended for solo travelers or two friends who want to keep costs down while still enjoying a comfortable stay at a Hotel. As is common in Miyako/Okinawa, small insects may get into the Room sometimes—it’s probably unavoidable. It’s about a 10-minute drive from the Hotel to Hirara downtown. About a 20-minute walk to the nearest supermarket around the Hotel! There were several restaurants/cafes along the road in front of the Hotel. A rental car is likely best. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the sea where you can overlook Irabu Bridge.

We stayed here for a family trip. This Accommodation is located in a small port town and has been beautifully renovated, with warm wooden touches and stylish, coordinated furniture and appliances. The futons were Airweave and very comfortable to sleep on. The toilet and shower room were also clean and well designed, making them comfortable to use. There was an outdoor space to hang swimsuits and other items, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was soup and bread—just the right amount. We were told the soup uses local vegetables. The parking entrance is quite steep, so cars with lowered suspension may scrape. Overall, it made for a great Izu trip, and it’s an Accommodation we’d like to visit again.

We stayed as a family for five days. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, but we were very satisfied with the Room. The Room is spacious, and the windows on the balcony side have an ocean view. Everything you need is provided, including plates and other basic items. Also, although it’s a four-story building, there is a proper elevator. Across the street nearby is a shopping mall with Starbucks, Blue Seal, an izakaya, a food court, and souvenir shops. A short walk from there are several more places to eat. There is also a FamilyMart about a 5-minute walk away. The parking spaces are numbered, but they are not assigned—so you can park in any available spot. Points to note: The Reservation center is open only until 17:00, so if you arrive late and run into any issues, it can be difficult. Checking in by 17:00 is recommended. Even for a Multiple Night Stay, only towels for (number of guests × 2) are provided, so you’ll need to do laundry fairly often. Also, there are no clotheslines or poles provided on the balcony drying rack. Overall, we were very satisfied with the Room.

We planned this trip to visit a restaurant that is only open on weekends and public holidays. While looking for a nearby Ryokan, we noticed the radon bath and “Arashi no Yu,” and decided to stay here. We made a Reservation for three adults on the standard course. Dinner was generous, with simmered local fish, grilled dishes, tempura, and more. The simmered flounder was especially delicious with white rice. Breakfast was also classic Japanese—grilled fish, vinegared dishes, kinpira, and more. The white rice paired perfectly with everything. “Arashi no Yu” is different from both a stone spa and a sauna. Lying down on the floor covered with small stones made us sweat heavily; sweat poured out from our pores and left our skin smooth. Unlike a typical stone spa, the pebbles provide comfortable cushioning so you can lie down easily. In the radon bath area, the bathing room and tub are separated so the steam collects around the tub. We kept sweating even while soaking, and even after getting out we stayed warm for a long time. Both “Arashi no Yu” and the radon bath can make you feel very tired at first, but we slept deeply until morning and enjoyed truly restful sleep. Smooth skin, warm body, refreshed awakening—our fatigue melted away. It felt like toxins were released along with the sweat! The proprietress recommended karaoke after dinner; singing on a stage with full sound equipment was great fun. The staff’s thoughtful attention to detail was excellent throughout. This is a Ryokan we would love to stay at again next time. The restaurant we came for was 5 minutes away by car; we were able to get an early number ticket and enjoy lunch without any trouble.

This was our first stay, and the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen were all new, easy to use, and very comfortable. Dinner while watching the sunset was the best.

It seems to have been recently renovated, and it feels clean and welcoming. The location is by the sea, and it’s refreshing to enjoy an ocean view from the window. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the Luxury Suite as a family of four. The Ryokan slippers were a bit hard and uncomfortable to wear. Other than the distance and cold walk from the Room to the large public bath, everything was excellent. The rental yukata and hair accessories were lovely. On snowy days, we recommend avoiding the Yamanami Highway. We are grateful for the front desk's kind advice on the best route home.

After my first stay in April, I became completely captivated by Kito Nasu and decided I absolutely had to visit again within the year. This was my long-awaited second stay! Last time, I stayed for one night, but it wasn’t enough to fully enjoy this wonderful place, so this time I stayed for two nights! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a delightful blend of wood and incense scents that make you want to take a deep breath. The sauna was as amazing as ever!! The layout is well thought out, and the fresh air makes outdoor cooling sessions incredibly refreshing. If you're experienced with lighting wood saunas, it’s easy to get started; even if it’s your first time, there’s a clear manual provided so anyone can do it quickly! The bathroom amenities are thoughtfully stocked with MUJI products. There’s not only a hairdryer but also a hair iron available. While there is just one mirror in the space, it's spacious enough for two people to use comfortably. I absolutely love the Aqua Feel bath that amazed me during my last visit—it makes you want to soak endlessly! (This time I used it five times!) The washing machine and gas dryer are super convenient; they even provide high-quality fabric softener that leaves your laundry warm, fluffy, and wonderfully fragrant after every wash. The restroom plays soothing music when seated and has its own handwashing area—very convenient—and yes, even the restroom smells great! The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances including a large refrigerator and plenty of stylish tableware. Everything here exceeds expectations—it feels like every “wouldn’t it be nice if they had this” has already been anticipated at Kito Nasu. Personally speaking, I don’t think there’s another private accommodation as charming as this one anywhere else. I’ve already started planning my next trip while searching through social media for similar private accommodations like Kito Nasu—but nothing compares so far! So now I'm thinking about visiting again early next year—this time for three nights! It truly feels like a second home where each visit makes you want to stay longer—a very relaxing accommodation. Looking forward to visiting again soon!
