Minami-Izu: Spiny lobster season is open! At the tip of Yumigahama, Kiiyu—everything was absolutely delicious, from the luxurious spiny lobster and simmered golden eye snapper to the assorted sashimi platter. The hot spring large public bath was spacious and very relaxing. The in-room open-air bath also felt wonderfully open, and the sound of the waves from the room was incredibly soothing.

This is a Hotel where you can easily go back and forth between the beach and the pool, making it very enjoyable. We stayed with small children, but even though the restaurant is spacious, it didn’t feel crowded, so we could dine at a relaxed pace. They also lend out fireworks sets, so we were able to enjoy fireworks on the beach at night. Amenities are available for you to take back to your Room as needed, but it wasn’t inconvenient. We stayed for two nights and three days; if you leave towels outside the door, they will be replaced with fresh ones. It was our first stay in a while, but the place had been renovated and made for a comfortable trip.

With an in-room open-air bath, in-room dining, and even having the futon laid out for us, everything was taken care of and we were able to relax. The large public bath was great too! The food was delicious, and the room was nicely divided into a sofa/window-side area—perfect for switching between “this side for meals and sleeping” and “this side to unwind while looking out at the sea.” The retro electric fan matched the vibe of Yamatokan’s red roof, really making it feel like we’d come to the seaside (laugh).

Because it was a three-day weekend right at the start of summer vacation, it ended up a little over our original budget—but we wanted to stay here so badly that we made the Reservation anyway. And once we actually stayed… it was worth every yen—no, even more than that. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The location was even better than expected: right in front of us were white sand and a blue sea. There were quite a few families and international guests, but at night it was very quiet. You can head straight to the beach from the Hotel, and everything was thoughtfully prepared—dedicated beach sandals, a washing machine, towels, and more. I also really appreciated that when you take off your slippers there, you can place them neatly into a shoe box labeled with your Room name—something I found especially reassuring as someone who’s a bit particular about cleanliness. The Room was truly spacious, spotless, and very functional. Everything felt refined from corner to corner—the washbasin, furnishings, wall colors, decorations—all beautifully coordinated and calming. A small detail, but the loungewear fabric was very soft and had buttons so it stayed in place comfortably. The semi-open-air bath in the guest room had excellent water quality and temperature. Being able to soak slowly while looking out at the ocean—with no insects flying around—was pure bliss. We enjoyed our in-room meals while chatting pleasantly with our attendant; everything was delicious. The simmered whole kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) was especially impressive—large and full of flavor—truly “this is Izu!” That said, personally I would have preferred beef as steak (even a small portion) rather than chilled shabu-shabu wrapped with vegetables. If many guests are older adults, it would be great if there were an option available even with an additional charge. Breakfast included many dishes as well—I ended up eating quite a lot first thing in the morning! Overall this Accommodation deserves high marks across the board; if I had to be strictly critical, dinner alone could have felt slightly more luxurious or surprising—something that makes you think “This is exceptional—I’ve never tasted anything like it.” Even so, it was such a wonderful Accommodation that I absolutely want to return again next year. Thank you very much.

By chance, I was able to make a Reservation for Suite Room 401 and stayed on September 6. The Room was absolutely gorgeous! It was so spacious it felt like too much for just two people. The TV had Amazon Prime available, and we relaxed while watching the movie “National Treasure.” The food was also excellent!! At the dinner buffet, everything—Japanese, Western, and Chinese—was delicious, with so many options that we couldn’t try them all. The all-you-can-eat salmon roe was especially satisfying.

This is a wonderful hot spring inn. Thank you for such a memorable stay. Even though it was late August and mosquitoes wouldn’t have been surprising, I didn’t get bitten in the open-air bath (I think I stayed about an hour), so I was able to relax and soak at ease. To be honest, two weeks earlier at another hot spring there were mosquitoes even in the indoor bath and it was a terrible experience, so I was a bit nervous—but I guess it’s because the greenery here is so well maintained. The private open-air bath was also excellent. The meals were outstanding in both presentation and taste. The dinner boat platter—and all-you-can-eat—was amazing, and then I was impressed again by how beautiful breakfast looked! I will definitely come back again. The only slight negative point: at the welcome drink area there was someone like a bartender, but although we made eye contact, they didn’t say anything, so for a moment I wasn’t sure whether it was okay to help myself. Since they could tell we were checking in, if they are going to be there, I thought a brief word would have been nice. On the other hand, the person who drove us to the inn by car was very kind and pleasant. Thank you very much.

The sunset and sunrise were absolutely wonderful. The Onsen was also very nice. Even after we got close to the Accommodation, we couldn’t find it and had to look around. Since the Accommodation wasn’t listed on our car’s navigation system, we asked a local and were able to find it.
