KOUBOUNOYU NAGAOKA

6/17–18 I stayed for one night. Both the hot stone sauna and the bath were exactly to my liking. The Room was also thoroughly cleaned, and I had a very comfortable stay. Next time, I’d like to book a Multiple Night Stay. I’ll be back!

I stayed for two nights on the Business Plan in a room with an open-air bath.From Izunagaoka Station, it’s less than a 10-minute ride by local bus. Once you get off at the “Onsen Station” bus stop, the property is practically right in front of you.The building may be old, but the inside was very clean. Futon bedding is self-service.For meals, white rice, mixed rice, and miso soup were self-serve with unlimited refills. At breakfast, white rice, rice porridge, miso soup, and three kinds of bread were self-serve. Everything was very tasty. If I had to ask for one thing, I would have loved to have milk available at breakfast.The large public bath has a mist sauna where you can lie down; the temperature wasn’t too high and felt great. The indoor bath is divided into a hot bath and a lukewarm bath, and the open-air bath was set to about an in-between temperature—so I think most guests will find something they like.Many places close the public bath from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but here it stays open all day (it only closes late at night).It even made me think that maybe I didn’t need a room with an open-air bath (laugh).Most notably, the staff were wonderful. It’s hard to point to one specific thing—there was just such a pleasant atmosphere throughout. I was able to relax comfortably.If I visit Izu again, I’d love to stay here again. Thank you very much.
