Kawazu × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at a comfortable pace. It was quiet and spotless throughout, and the Onsen was incredibly open and wonderful. Every meal was deeply delicious. The staff were also very pleasant and welcoming. I feel as if both my body and mind have been refreshed. I can hardly believe how reasonably priced it is. Thank you very much. I will definitely return.

I stayed here for the first time last year and it was wonderful, so this year I stayed for two nights. This is a very comfortable Hotel, with spotless Rooms, high-quality meals, and excellent Facilities. As it’s truly all-inclusive, I was able to spend three days without opening my wallet at all. Whenever the food or snacks started to run low, they were replenished immediately—the staff’s attentiveness is outstanding. I also saw the manager throughout all three days; it made me wonder when they ever rest, as they were working alongside the staff like everyone else. Every time I visit, I’m impressed by the hospitality of the staff at Imaisou. Thank you very much. I would love to visit again next year!

This was our second stay, and even though we arrived nearly two hours later than planned, thank you very much for welcoming us so kindly. Both the Room and the bath were very clean. We were a bit concerned about mosquitoes given the season, but effective measures with a wonderful fragrance were in place, so we felt completely at ease throughout our stay. The sound system in the loft theater room was excellent—it truly felt like being in a movie theater. We were also shown to a private dining room, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the delicious food at our own pace, almost like in-Room dining. All of the staff were courteous from start to finish, and we had a truly wonderful time. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much for everything.

I have stayed here several times, and everything was wonderful again this time. I accidentally left something behind when checking out, but the staff noticed it and it was a great help. Thank you for everything. This is the Accommodation I always recommend whenever friends ask for a place to stay. I will be back again.

The staff’s service was courteous and flawless from our arrival to our departure. The meals were generous, and we ended up eating too much. The bath in the Room was an Onsen where we could relax and soak for as long as we liked, so we didn’t mind the view outside the window. The road noise was a little loud, but it wasn’t noticeable inside the Room. One disappointment was that the bed was a narrow single, and I worried about falling off.

I was in Atami for work for the first time in a while, and I wanted to enjoy an Onsen, so after looking around I chose this place. From Atami Station to the nearest station, Imaihama-Kaigan Station, it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes via the Ito Line and Izukyu Line, and it’s about a 3-minute walk from Imaihama-Kaigan Station to the Ryokan—very convenient. Rather than a typical Ryokan, it truly feels like a hideaway, just as the name Ittoan suggests. The lighting is kept slightly dim, creating a calm atmosphere. Dinner was served in a bright private dining room, and the contrast between light and shadow was wonderful. The staff member in charge—who said they started working here five months ago—explained each dish and kindly chatted with us for a while. There were many dishes, all delicious of course, but what impressed me most was the simmered splendid alfonsino served as a whole fish; it was my first time seeing it like that, and both the presentation and taste were unforgettable. They recommended rice porridge as a late-night meal, but I was far too full this time. I could use a private open-air bath for 50 minutes free of charge; I chose “Akibiyori” and was surprised by how spacious it was and how many trees surrounded it. If you think of the open-air bath area as the first floor, there is an upper level that feels like a reclining bath area on the second floor, so I could enjoy going back and forth between them. It felt more spacious than the large public bath area (ofuro), allowing me to fully relax. Breakfast was also luxurious. Both dinner and breakfast are Japanese-style meals with some Western touches, which I really liked. The Room was spacious, Wi-Fi worked without needing a password, completely stress-free. Everything—absolutely everything—was wonderful here, but above all else، the staff’s courteous yet friendly manner truly reflects what makes this inn special. Unfortunately it was cloudy with rain during my stay، so as I boarded my train home، I promised myself I would return next time under clear blue skies.

This was our first trip with our Pacific parrotlet. After researching online, we found this Hotel recommended as a must-visit spot, so we decided to stay here. As this stay also celebrated our wedding anniversary, we arranged a cake, and we were pleasantly surprised when the Hotel provided sparkling wine. Thank you very much for your thoughtful hospitality. It became a truly memorable trip.

This Accommodation is highly recommended. It’s close to the station and just a short walk to the sea. The meals are very generous in portion size, and we were extremely satisfied! Above all, just like our first stay… the staff were wonderfully warm and welcoming on our second visit as well! This Accommodation is also recommended for a solo getaway. We’ll be back again soon!

We stayed for one night and two days with a couple of friends from Tokyo. We were a bit worried with three 2-year-olds, but it was fine. Check-in was at 3:00 PM, but we arrived before noon and the kids had lots of fun in the pool. There was also an indoor play area, and we enjoyed mango parfaits at the elephant tortoise café in front of the Onsen! Kaiseki dinner at night and a buffet breakfast in the morning—such a wonderful two days! It’s definitely on our list of Accommodations we want to visit again!

Thank you for welcoming us with such warm hospitality! We booked a Room with an open-air bath, and it felt more open than we expected, which made us a bit nervous, so we used it early in the morning and at night when it seemed like no one would be around. The meals were also delicious, and we were very satisfied! We ate so much we could barely move.

Each private villa Room luxuriously features both an indoor Onsen bath with free-flowing spring water and an open-air bath. Some Rooms even have a pond, where you can feed the koi and enjoy a truly special escape from everyday life. Another highlight is the craftsmanship throughout each villa Room—every fitting and light fixture remains beautiful as a work of art, even with the passage of time. You’ll also be soothed by seasonal flowers and the songs of birds in every season. For dining, we made a Reservation in advance and walked about 10 minutes to an Italian restaurant (Antica Trattoria Dal Pirata). It was excellent, so we highly recommend it as well.

I stayed here two years ago and it was amazing. This time, even though it was raining due to back-to-back typhoons, it didn’t matter at all—our stay was wonderful again. I heard the interior was fully renovated about a year and a half ago, and the Room has been updated with a modern feel. It’s stairs up to around the 5th floor, but each step is low, so getting around isn’t difficult. Our two dogs get excited the moment they arrive when they like an Accommodation, and they were thrilled this time as well. They even used the provided toilet just like at home. Since they’re timid, we didn’t use the dog run. I tried three Onsen baths, and all of them were perfect—the temperature was just right. The food is simply outstanding. The sashimi is expertly prepared, and there’s more than enough overall—I couldn’t finish everything. I especially love how Shiki no Kura serves abalone, and it was truly delicious again this time. Even compared with top Hotels and Ryokan across The whole country, this place ranks among the best. Breakfast was also excellent: a selection of side dishes that anyone would enjoy paired with rice cooked in a clay pot. The staff’s guidance and conversation were great, as were their thoughtful touches in the Room. After breakfast I took a nap and checked out at 11:00—honestly, I relaxed even more than my dogs did. The building itself does feel old in places; when I wiped the floor it came up dirty. But everywhere has something these days due to staffing shortages, so it didn’t bother me. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that prices fluctuate quite a bit during Kawazu cherry blossom season and other peak times. If it were always reasonably priced, I’d make this my regular go-to (laugh). I will definitely be back again.

They responded thoroughly to the various requests I made before my stay, which I really appreciated. The Facility conditions were excellent, and the staff’s service was the best of any pet Hotel I have stayed at. Although it is a bit farther than where I live, I would definitely like to stay again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much for all your help this time.

Thank you for taking care of us for two days. Both dinner and breakfast looked wonderful and tasted amazing. We could really feel the care put into each dish. The Room was clean, and we were able to relax in the private rock bath. The staff were kind—this Accommodation deserves five stars in every way. We would love to stay again.

We stayed here on a trip! The first thing that surprised us was how spotless the villa was and how beautiful the design is. The ceilings are high with a partially open atrium, letting in plenty of natural light. No matter where you stand in the living room, the interior design looks stunning—it really lifted our spirits! As sauna lovers, we honestly didn’t have very high expectations for an in-villa sauna, but it exceeded them. Although compact, it has enough seating for about six people, so we could relax comfortably with plenty of space. You can also set the temperature inside and enjoy it at your own pace—it felt amazing! Right outside the sauna is the pool, so we used the pool and jacuzzi as a cold plunge and fully refreshed. Enjoying fresh air while looking up at the sky and watching the pool’s surface in this private space—where you hear only birds and nature—was an incredible experience. We bought local craft beer at a supermarket just 2–3 minutes away by car, and that post-sauna drink was exceptional—honestly one of the best we’ve ever had! We enjoyed BBQ for dinner and slept soundly at night. We had such a fulfilling time just staying at the villa, but since we’re greedy travelers, we also stopped by nearby Shirahama Beach to play for a bit and visited some famous waterfalls before heading home. We were highly satisfied with everything—the villa’s design, Facility, and location!!

With a 1-year-old child, we were concerned about dining without disturbing others, but the thoughtful arrangements allowed us to enjoy our meals peacefully. The food was delicious! The room initially appeared to have separated beds in the photos, but they were arranged together so our family could sleep side by side. This wasn’t something we had requested in advance, so it was a wonderful surprise. There were three private baths available, and we could use them without any crowding. The hospitality exceeded 100 points—everyone was smiling and incredibly kind! We were lucky to secure this accommodation just before a long weekend. We would love to stay here again when visiting Izu. Thank you very much! Please take care of yourself and keep up the great work!

Dinner was excellent, especially the fish called Aburakamasu. The open-air bath was very relaxing. The Room we were shown was clean, and the Ryokan staff were very kind. It was such a great Accommodation that there was nothing to criticize. I’m truly glad we stayed here!

Every fish dish at dinner was excellent, and we truly enjoyed it. Sashimi, grilled dishes, and simmered dishes kept coming one after another, and we were completely full. It really felt like a seaside Accommodation. The explanations on how to eat each dish were also thorough, and the service was outstanding.

Spending a relaxing time while gazing at the ocean felt truly luxurious, and it helped me forget everyday life and recharge. This time we stayed for one night, but next time I’d love to use it for camping as well. The owner was very kind and carefully accommodated our requests, so we were able to stay with peace of mind. Thank you for a wonderful time. We would love to visit again.

It was the final weekend of the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival. I was able to soak leisurely in the Onsen in our Room and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It wasn’t as crowded as expected—only our family and one other party stayed—and the private bath was available, so we could fully enjoy the large bath as well. The meals were delicious, with a carefully selected, high-quality feel. The squid sashimi was sweet and excellent, and I especially liked the simmered golden eye snapper with its gently sweet flavor. It wasn’t overdone—just right—and it’s an Accommodation I’d like to visit again. Even with our dog, it felt clean and we could stay with peace of mind. However, the stairs are steep, so it may not be suitable for small children or elderly guests.
