Kawazu Station × Zen-Inspired AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan for family trips

Time flows a little slower... Ishidaya Cottage. Enjoy your precious time with true privacy, as if staying in a familiar vacation home.

Located within the grounds of the Jigen-in Temple, this Property is run by the temple's head priest's wife as the hostess and their daughter as the young hostess. Rather than operating as a traditional "shukubo" (temple lodging), this Property has a long history of welcoming guests from both Japan and abroad as a youth hostel, offering a familial and casual atmosphere that is its charm. Centered around the bright and energetic young hostess, the staff includes a variety of individuals such as surfers who deeply love the Izu sea and trainees from top international companies working for a few weeks. Conversations with these diverse staff members are sure to become an unforgettable part of your journey. At times, you may even see the staff's children appearing in the dining area, being affectionately greeted by regular guests with a "You've grown so much!"—a scene that evokes the warmth of staying at a relative's home. Except for some Rooms equipped with beds, futons are self-service. Meals are also partially self-service, so it may not suit those seeking fully catered services. However, the Property takes great care in hospitality, such as sourcing only pesticide-free vegetables and selecting Izu's specialty "kinmedai" (golden eye snapper) weighing over 1.2kg with rich flavor, ensuring guests' satisfaction. When you want to experience the joy of connecting with people or savor the simple blessings of nature, we invite you to visit this Property.
