Livemax Resort Izu-Kogen ANNEX

We stayed for two nights with our adult son and daughter, as a couple, and our 7 kg dog. The Room size was just right—not too big or too small. At night we laid out the futons, played cards, and enjoyed relaxing family time together for the first time in a while. There is an indoor dog run in the building, and an outdoor dog run right in front of the Accommodation; both were clean and felt safe to use. Above all, every dish was delicious. I wanted to eat everything, but there was so much food—in the best way possible. The whole simmered golden eye snapper, yellowtail shabu-shabu, grilled meat, sashimi, and various small side dishes were all excellent. All staff were polite and very pleasant, making it easy to talk with them. If I had to mention minor points: I would have liked a brief explanation of the Facilities at check-in, and it was disappointing that the self-serve coffee machine only dispensed hot water. If I’m being picky, I personally would have liked welcome sweets and a box of tissues in the Room. My husband and son said it would be perfect if there were a sauna in the bath (lol). We were also very happy about the complimentary beer and shochu service for the Obon holiday period. Overall, this was an excellent Accommodation for staying with family while bringing a dog. We’d love to return.

We were able to stay at a great price thanks to a Yahoo campaign. It wasn’t luxurious, but it was very comfortable and we were completely satisfied. The meals were an elaborate kaiseki course. Of course, our dog stayed with us too. At the new dog run, we relaxed while listening to birds like Japanese bush warblers and even dozed off. The bath is on the small side, but the free-flowing Onsen helped relieve our fatigue. They also provided three types of shampoo, and the ReFa hair dryer left my hair smooth and silky. Best of all was the friendly service from a young Japanese woman with long hair. Thank you very much.
