Iwai Station × Highly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

Thank you as always. I don’t think there are many Ryokan where you can enjoy fresh seafood for under 20,000 yen and also use a private open-air bath. The Accommodation staff are incredibly kind, and it’s my hidden getaway—more relaxing than being at my parents’ home. Last time I brought my parents and they were absolutely delighted, so my rating hasn’t changed at all. Of course, at this price there are a few Facility points you may need to overlook, but if that bothers you, you can always pay several times more and stay at a luxury Ryokan. For ordinary people looking for an occasional treat, this is a comfortable Accommodation that’s just right.

This was our first visit as a couple. We watched YouTube videos beforehand, but the real experience was even better.\n The pool was simply wonderful. We were surprised by how large the infinity pool is.\n If the water temperature had been a bit warmer, we might have been able to relax for longer.\n The sauna, on the other hand, felt a little too hot.\n The Room was simple and easy to use.\n If possible, as seniors we would have appreciated standard cotton pajamas with long sleeves and long pants. The bathrobes and towels were very comfortable.\n For dinner, we ordered the vegetarian course. It was creative and delicious, and we left completely full. The vegetables were excellent and highly recommended.\n Breakfast was a sandwich, salad, and soup; it would be nice to have something warm and freshly made as well.\n All in all, we were very satisfied. We’re happy to find such a wonderful Hotel in Chiba Prefecture.\n The staff were also very kind. Please keep up the great work.\n We will definitely visit again.

We visited as a family with our older children and their friends, along with our younger child. The older kids enjoyed SUP in the sea and the sauna, while the younger one fully enjoyed the pool. Since we had several boys with big appetites, we had a BBQ dinner using ingredients we brought with us. The seasonings and cooking utensils were well stocked, so we were able to prepare and enjoy our meal without any inconvenience. All of the staff were incredibly kind, and unlike many other places there weren’t lots of small rules or restrictions. They also kindly accommodated our requests, which made our stay very comfortable.\nThe amenities were high quality (including N organic), and the hair dryer and hair care items were all from ReFa, which my older daughter and I happily used.\nIn the morning we could even see Mt. Fuji across the sea—the views were simply amazing—and our whole family had a wonderful time. The only downside was that at bedtime, on both the first and second floors, the emergency exit signs were bright and a bit dazzling, making it slightly hard to sleep. Still, everything else was so great that we would definitely love to visit again. Thank you very much!

A luxurious, unhurried escape right in front of the sea. The private pool, sauna, and relaxation area were fantastic—an ideal space to enjoy without worrying about anyone around you. Spending time at a leisurely pace while taking in the ocean view was truly soothing, making it easy to forget everyday life and fully unwind. Rather than packing your schedule with sightseeing, this villa is perfect for those who want to slow down and simply enjoy being here. It was a wonderful villa—luxurious yet somehow calming—and a place I’d love to return to. Thank you!

This was my third stay. I stayed in the same Room with a kitchen as last time. The Room had been renovated and was very clean. In the evening, we could see Mt. Fuji from the Room, which made my mother very happy. For dinner, instead of ordering the boat sashimi platter we had last time, we took out sushi and ate it in the Room. Dinner is served in your Room here, so you can relax without worrying about others. I wanted to take it easy in the morning, so I chose no breakfast. If you want a hearty breakfast, I recommend booking a plan with breakfast included.\nThe beach was quiet since it was before Obon. There were lifeguards on duty as well, so it felt safe. Unfortunately, perhaps because it was after 3:00 PM on the day we went, the beach huts were closed. It rained the next day, so we gave up on going to the beach—but students from some school were swimming even in the rain.\nI’d love to come back to Iwai for another beach trip next year too.

We stayed with a group of eight. The Room was clean, and we could use the fireplace and have a campfire—an Accommodation we were very satisfied with! Responses to our questions were also quick. If I had to say one thing, it would have been nice if there had been a dishwasher. Next time, we’d like to visit in a warmer season.

We stayed for a one-night, two-day trip with my parents and our beloved dog, Coco. This was our second stay, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed by the comfort and luxurious private atmosphere. Since it’s a fully private rental, we could relax as a family without worrying about others around us. The interior was very clean, with stylish and user-friendly appliances and kitchenware. The Facility also provided thoughtful amenities for guests with dogs, which was incredibly helpful. The spacious and chic villa made the entire stay feel truly special. Coco tried swimming in the pool for the first time! Seeing her happily swim brought smiles to all of our faces. In the evening, we enjoyed a BBQ with fresh meat and seafood—my parents were thrilled and said they’d love to come back again! It became an unforgettable trip filled with wonderful memories. For those looking to enjoy luxurious yet free-spirited moments with their dogs, I highly recommend this place. We definitely look forward to staying here again!

Our family of four (a 9th grader and a 6th grader) had a truly satisfying trip. The all-inclusive plan was excellent, and the private cape, ocean views (the sunset was especially memorable), walks around the grounds, and the kids’ play areas inside the Hotel kept our children very happy. The food, baths, and staff were all top-notch. Also, there’s an atmospheric spot called Haraoka Pier about a 5-minute drive away.

While the exterior is not flashy or luxurious at all, the rooms are very stylish and spotlessly clean, and both the food and service were excellent—we were extremely satisfied. We will definitely stay here again.

This year, my wife and I stayed here on our way to Mt. Nokogiri. The sea is right in front of the Hotel, and the view was amazing. The Room was very clean, as if it had been renovated. The meals were fresh and very delicious. The staff were kind as well. When we visit the area again, we would love to stay here again.

The Room’s greatest highlight is the ocean view from the bath inside the guest room. In many places, the bathroom and Room are separate, but being able to step straight into the bath within the Room felt truly special and gave a wonderful sense of escape. There is also an outdoor sauna, making this stay feel far more unique than most other Facility options. Honestly, I didn’t expect that much at first, but having “my own private sauna” was even better than I imagined and left me feeling deeply refreshed in both body and mind. One small thing to note: because the sauna is outdoors, you need to pass across the balcony briefly. At that moment, you may occasionally make eye contact with people walking along the seaside, so it’s worth being a little mindful. Another personal favorite was the selection of books in the Room. It seems to vary by Room, which adds a small pleasure—wondering what kind of books will be there this time. There are no meals provided, but the extra-paid curry in the refrigerator was much better than expected and very satisfying. You can also purchase coffee beans and enjoy taking time to grind them and brew coffee—something I don’t usually do. Staying here wasn’t just about spending a night; it was time to engage thoughtfully with everyday acts like sleeping and eating. Because of its simple space, it naturally made me reflect on life itself—and what happiness means. It truly felt like a special place.

We stayed here last year with our dog and loved it so much that we came back again this year. Our dog had the freedom to play in the garden dog run, and the BBQ while listening to the sound of the waves was amazing. The sunset was beautiful, and from the back door you can reach the beach in no time. We even received a souvenir when we checked out. We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed for one night with friends and family. The manager’s mother was very kind when we picked up the key, which made us feel at ease. They even prepared a welcome board with portraits of our dogs—it looked just like them, so cute, and it made us really happy. The garden is very spacious; as soon as we arrived, the dogs ran around, lay down on the beautiful lawn, and played happily. The house was also clean and roomy, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen for a BBQ. The dog-only bathroom and amenities were excellent—overall, the service was outstanding. We were able to spend a relaxing and luxurious time in the breezy living room and garden. We would love to stay again—thank you very much.

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!

The facility was excellent, but there were issues with missing supplies and lack of management. - Despite being informed in advance that outdoor sandals would not be provided, they were available upon arrival after purchasing and bringing our own. - Water leakage from the air conditioner vent above the living room entrance. - Burnt-out light bulb in the living room floor lamp. - Poor drainage in the 2nd-floor bathroom, making it difficult to drain water smoothly. - No toilet paper or spare rolls in the 2nd-floor toilet. - Malfunctioning massage chair on the 2nd floor. - Complimentary water was stated as 500ml per person + one 2L bottle; however, for a group of four staying two nights, only eight 500ml bottles and one 2L bottle were provided. - No spare paper towels in the kitchen. - Insufficient towels provided overall. - Only a small amount of used olive oil available in the kitchen supplies. Attempts to contact via listed numbers resulted only in being told that confirmation with responsible staff would be needed without immediate answers—likely due to outsourcing management responsibilities—but stricter oversight is necessary as these issues inconvenience guests significantly.

A wonderful space where I could experience an extraordinary time. Upon entering the Room, I was greeted by a pleasant fruity scent. It was a lovely Room, clean and decorated with stylish accessories. I was feeling a bit peckish, so having cute donuts prepared was a thoughtful touch. In the evening, I enjoyed a barbecue using the barbecue kit set up on the outdoor balcony, with seafood I bought as the main dish! The view of the sea from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and I was able to spend a relaxing time watching the sunset. I definitely want to use it again!

We rented the entire accommodation for 8 adults this time. Although we were a bit unsure about staying in a private villa, as it was a new experience for us, the staff welcomed us on-site and explained how to use the sauna and bathroom facilities, which allowed us to fully enjoy our stay with peace of mind. While there are residential houses nearby, they are well-concealed by fences, ensuring privacy. Combined with the stylish interior design, it created an extraordinary atmosphere to enjoy. For 8 people, staying at a hotel would require booking two rooms; however, being able to stay together in one room at this private villa felt like a great option personally.

The facility was well-equipped, and I had an amazing time. It was clean and very satisfying. Thank you very much.

We stayed for one night with the Plan that includes a BBQ dinner. As described, there was an excellent selection of dog amenities. We brought shampoo supplies from home just in case we needed to use the dog shower, but everything was so well provided that we didn’t need them at all. Tateyama in March was colder than we expected, and we realized we hadn’t prepared well enough. Our dog isn’t very comfortable going out, but before our baby is born, we wanted to make some memories with our beloved dog—this is the place we chose after searching carefully. Walking along the coast during our morning walk is also a moment we’ll always remember.\nThank you very much.

It was incredibly spacious, stylish, and spotless—simply amazing! Since the BBQ area is covered, you can enjoy it without worrying about the weather, whether it’s sunny or rainy. The dog run is also huge—plenty of space even for large dogs to sprint around freely. There were a few clouds at night, so unfortunately we couldn’t see many stars, but on a clear night you should be able to enjoy a sky full of them. The neighboring houses are far enough away that you can truly relax without worrying about being seen. One downside is that, as noted in the instructions, the road leading to the Accommodation is quite narrow. It felt just barely manageable with our minivan. If you have a large vehicle or aren’t confident driving on tight roads, it may be difficult. It’s probably best to avoid checking in after dark or heading back out for supplies once you’ve arrived. Aside from that one point, this was an absolutely fantastic Accommodation! Highly recommended!
