Ito Yukitei Kawana Villa

Perched on a hill near Kawana Station, this Accommodation has a wonderful sense of charm. Even though it is upscale, the attendants were warm and approachable, making our stay truly comfortable. The Onsen baths are available both indoors and outdoors, and we could enjoy them at the same time; the water quality was excellent. The kaiseki dinner was outstanding—as expected of a renowned Ryokan—and we enjoyed it so much that we even had the late-night snack. The peaceful atmosphere, with occasional birdsong, was so soothing that we didn’t want to leave. We will definitely return.

I have visited Izu many times. As a well-known tourist destination, it has countless Accommodations, but none has made me want to “come back again” as much as this one.This was my second stay, and just like last time, I was able to spend a truly relaxing and comfortable time.For anyone looking to get away from the noise of the city and slowly heal both body and mind, I can’t imagine a better place.From the Room you can see the sea. There are private homes nearby, but they’re screened by trees, so you never feel watched. From morning until evening you can hear birds singing, which becomes wonderfully soothing background music.The Room has the charm of a classic Japanese-style tatami room, and it was impeccably cleaned down to every detail, making for an extremely comfortable stay. There aren’t many outlets, but they lend extension cords at the front desk, so it wasn’t inconvenient at all.The bath is free-flowing from the source and runs slightly hot, but you can add water to adjust it to your preferred temperature. On top of that, there are three baths in the guest room itself, so you can soak as many times as you like whenever you want—an irresistible setup for Onsen lovers.The meals featured mainly local ingredients, and we enjoyed carefully prepared dishes that would be hard to experience at home. The flavors were refined yet satisfying; every item was thoughtfully made and absolutely delicious.Also memorable was how the staff waved goodbye after checkout until we were completely out of sight. Experiencing such warm hospitality truly makes you want to come back again.It was a genuinely wonderful Accommodation where we could fully enjoy both Onsen and food in a quiet setting. I would definitely like to stay here again on my next trip to Izu.
