I have been an IKYU Diamond member since before COVID, with two regular Accommodations—one in Ito and one in Enzan—and I had been looking for another place I would want to return to. It was hard to find one. At last, I found Akazawa Guest House. It’s an Accommodation you’ll want to visit again and again. My companion had a blister from sandals, but after soaking in the deep ocean water several times, we were amazed to notice on the third day that it had healed. Akazawa Spa is free of charge, and what I especially loved was that the private sauna is also free. We had so much fun with bowling, billiards, darts—everything—that staying two nights was absolutely worth it. Of course, the staff were wonderful as well. The foreign staff member who served our meals had a lovely smile, spoke excellent Japanese, and made our conversations truly enjoyable. We will be back again—thank you in advance for your continued hospitality next time.

The meals were delicious, and both the Room and the Onsen were excellent. Dinner featured plenty of seafood, including sashimi, which we really enjoyed. The in-room Onsen was great, and the private bath—apparently using what used to be the main public bath—was spacious, with a wonderful open-air bath surrounded by nature; I thought it was a fantastic idea. If I had to ask for improvements, I think it would be even better if there were more explanations about the dishes and if phone inquiries were handled more clearly.

We could choose our meals, and we were very satisfied with the seafood shabu-shabu we had hoped for at dinner. The Japanese breakfast also came with plenty of sides to go with rice, and I ended up having a second helping. We also enjoyed the somen before dinner, ice cream and coffee milk after the bath, late-night soba (ramen), and the free drinks at the front desk. The Room was spacious and even had a massage chair, so we could truly relax. It was a shame the weather wasn’t great, but if it had been clear, we probably could have seen a beautiful starry sky from the terrace—I'd love to visit again if I get the chance.

The Facility is very spacious, and guests can fully use it even on the day of check-out, so we were able to enjoy it right up until the last minute. The Hotel, spa, and Onsen facilities were all thoroughly cleaned and very comfortable. The Room was large, so it felt relaxing even with children. The fish at breakfast was very fresh and delicious! Because the Facility was so great, I’d like to share a few points in hopes of future improvements. As others have mentioned in their Reviews, items such as drinks and yukata were often out of stock, which made it feel understaffed. Also, the Facility shuttle bus was almost always at full capacity, and we weren’t sure whether we would be able to board (some people couldn’t), so I think additional services should be added during peak periods or on rainy days when carts cannot be used. Also, for a Facility of this size, there are far too few restaurants. When we tried to use the café at the spa entrance for lunch, we were surprised to be told there would be a 60-minute wait even for takeout. There are almost no alternatives, and the restaurant at the day-use Onsen facility was also extremely crowded, which ends up taking a lot of time just to eat. Considering that many day-use visitors also come here, I feel there are too few restaurants overall—and they also close too early. Other than that, our stay was very comfortable.
