Kawazu Nanadaru Keiryu Onsen Saryo Mizumari

My third stay, and my first time in Room 105! I was a little worried because I’d practically deified Room 103, but…Entering the room → Huh? Is it just a foot bath? Seriously… (lol) Of course not. You still get the same open-air area as Room 103, plus a foot bath (a bar where you can soak while having a drink), and on the bedroom side there are two Onsen baths with even more space than Room 103! On top of that, there are two chairs for post-bath relaxation. It ended up being the room with the largest private space overall. The Onsen in Room 105 is set on a properly built wooden platform, which adds an extra touch of luxury.The usual garden had a very summery vibe—there was a pool, water guns, and even a mist machine (handmade?). Love this kind of thing. The pool had lots of little “duck captain” floats swimming around. At the garden entrance they also provide Crocs-style loaner sandals that are fine to get wet.Cooling towels and insect repellent spray were fully stocked. The kids’ area is big enough to run around in and has strong air conditioning (ice-cold). This middle-aged guy burned some calories playing table tennis.Then came dinner—delicious enough to undo all that effort. I always praise it, but once again there was no chef’s name on the menu… Seems like they’re shy and not big on self-promotion. Apparently trained in Kyoto cuisine—the dashi and seasoning are refined and elegant.Their simmered sea bream is outstanding. There may be many Accommodations in Izu, but Mizumari’s simmered fish is simply on another level. And even though this chef won’t put their name on the menu, they quietly help carry guests’ luggage when they arrive (lol). The two attendants were cheerful as always, making conversation easy and enjoyable.They also made sure my previous points were properly applied, so I could relax like I was back at my parents’ home. There aren’t any flashy “ultra-luxury” items here—just genuine Showa-era hospitality that still lives on.Mizumari is an Accommodation where you can be taken care of without feeling tense or formal. This may sound like a sponsored Review again, but it isn’t—I’m posting because I want others to experience this kind of indulgence too. Please let me visit again; when my soul gets dirty, I’ll come back.

Check-in and check-out can be done in the room, making it truly relaxing. The onsen has an excellent water quality that leaves your skin feeling smooth, and soaking while enjoying the natural scenery of rivers and mountains is very soothing. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and my husband was especially delighted with the morning rolled omelet, saying it was the best he’s ever had (and I agree!). This popular accommodation has many repeat guests, making reservations difficult to secure, but we definitely want to visit again. Thank you for taking care of us!
