Village Izu Kogen

We stayed for one night on the dog-friendly Plan with dinner and breakfast included. Both the seafood hot pot and breakfast were delicious. The seafood hot pot portion was a bit small, so if you have a big appetite, I recommend bringing extra ingredients. For breakfast, the made-to-order omelet and French toast from the live kitchen were especially good.The bath area had fewer washing stations than expected, so you may have to wait during busy times. The shower was easy to use (adjustable water pressure and it didn’t shut off automatically), and the ReFa hair dryer dried even long hair quickly. There were also a pool and table tennis in the building, plus board games available to borrow for in-Room play—our child loved them.The Room felt like a luxury apartment model unit, with the bedroom clearly separated from the living/dining/kitchen area, so we could relax without worrying even after our child fell asleep. If you have a Netflix account, you can watch it on the TV.That said, it’s hard to ignore that some detailed cleaning in the Room seemed insufficient—especially how dirty the air conditioner and ventilation fan were, which was disappointing. The air conditioner had heavy blackish stains that looked like mold not only inside but also on the exterior. The ventilation filters in the changing area and toilet were packed with dust, which was shocking. Also, while the bathroom and kitchen areas were kept clean overall, limescale hadn’t been fully removed from the small sink installed in the toilet.Dog amenities were well stocked overall, making this Accommodation great value for money and one we’d like to stay at again—but because both the air conditioner and vents were truly dirty, I hope they will be thoroughly cleaned before our next visit.

Traveling with our dog, everything—price, service, cleanliness, etc.—was excellent.[Things that would make it even better]- It would be helpful to have plastic bags in the bathroom for wet clothes.- At breakfast, some dishes didn’t have labels, so we couldn’t tell what they were; it would be nice if all items were labeled.- A lid for the pet crate would make it easier to leave our dog alone with peace of mind.- It would be great to have a safety measure on the balcony fence to prevent dogs from falling, just in case they slip out by accident.- Better pruning of the trees around the open-air bath would make it even nicer.- It would be nice to have one lane in the pool for guests who want to swim laps.I ended up writing a lot, but we will definitely be back. Thank you very much.
