Ito Kowakien

This time, we brought our dog and also used the Shuttle Service. Dogs can’t be taken into the dining area, but there is a mini buffet and the food is delicious. We keep buying the spicy wood ear mushrooms as a souvenir. The Room doesn’t have an outside view, so it might be a bit boring for dogs. It would be nice if there were a small area where they could play…

I stayed here as a solo traveler. Above all, the Onsen and the meals were excellent. The Onsen includes two indoor baths (one hot and one lukewarm), plus an open-air bath. The hot and lukewarm Onsen suited me perfectly and felt wonderful.The food was also very delicious, and I was especially impressed that I could enjoy kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) both at dinner and breakfast.The Room itself was generally clean, though it did feel a bit dated. I couldn’t find any power outlets on the walls (there was one near the TV), so I hesitated a little when choosing where to sleep.Also, while there is drinkable Onsen water available at the drinking station, it was a bit confusing that the Onsen water from the bathroom sink in the Room was marked as not potable. If it’s not for drinking, I would have preferred a separate faucet independent from the tap water. That said, having an in-room bath with Onsen water is very appealing, and with a spacious Room as well, it was an Accommodation where I could truly relax.I visited Ito for an errand this time, but if I can enjoy this much at this price, next time I’d like to come specifically for the Onsen.
