Ulasan & Kesan Tamu Izu Mitsuhama Onsen Shoutoukan

It had a calm and serene atmosphere.

This was our first stay. The room with an ocean view offered a great scenery, and we could even faintly see Mt. Fuji, creating a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Since I was traveling with my elderly mother, I chose accommodation with a private bath in the room instead of using the public bath for safety reasons. After reviewing many photos of accommodations in Izu, we decided on this one. The private bath in the room felt more like an indoor bath, which was slightly disappointing. However, what bothered us more was the strong chlorine smell that lingered on our bodies even after bathing. We reported this issue to the staff at the accommodation. My mother eventually gave up on using the private bath and tried out the public bath instead. The hinoki (cypress) wood bathtub provided a very pleasant experience and left us satisfied. Since there is an alternating schedule for men’s and women’s baths, we used another section of the public baths in the morning; however, it had significant steps that required extra caution during use. While my mother expressed her wish to revisit during another season, it would be difficult for us to return unless improvements are made regarding the situation with the private bath—something we found quite unfortunate.
