Atagawa Prince Hotel

I made the mistake of thinking I had booked the same Room as before, not realizing it had been completely renovated, and only noticed after entering. I hadn’t read the description carefully enough. It was my first time using a daybed, but it felt modern, and I’m satisfied with it in its own way. As for the in-room bath, last time it rained and we got caught in the rain while using the open-air bath, but this time it felt easier to use than before. However, adjusting the temperature is still a bit tricky. The meals were just as satisfying as before in both portion size and taste. Last time, simmered golden eye snapper was served at the end when I was already very full, so I couldn’t finish it, but this time it was served midway through and I was able to eat everything. That said, the seasoning of the spiny lobster dish didn’t quite suit two elderly guests like us. It felt overly elaborate and seemed to mask the lobster’s natural flavor. For us, something simpler like sashimi or simply grilled would have been better. Our attendant was a foreign national and did their best to explain each dish clearly, which we appreciated; casual conversation might be difficult though. It seems that staffing shortages have reached Hotels as well. We were impressed that you greeted us right as we drove in upon arrival and saw us off at departure—service that remained just as attentive as last time. If we have another chance to visit Izu, we would like to stay with you again. Thank you very much.

We stayed here to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Our Room in the qoomo area on the 5th floor had a daybed, an open-air bath, and a balcony with a sofa, so we were able to relax and unwind the whole time. The amenities were well stocked, and there was also a coffee machine—perfect for a stay-in getaway. Although the station is close as the crow flies, you have to take a detour to get there, so it was very kind of them to provide a shuttle bus at any time except around lunchtime.The large public bath doesn’t have many washing stations, but it’s spacious and you can soak comfortably.We only tried the seasonal mandarin orange bath in the open-air area, but we couldn’t find a clock and didn’t know what time it was, so having even a small clock installed would feel reassuring.The rooftop footbath only fits about six people, so if it was full we either had to give up or wait on the terrace chairs.Unfortunately, the bar that opens only during full moons wasn’t open during our stay, but I’d love to try it if I get another chance.There’s a convenience store right in front of the property, but there are practically no other restaurants or shops nearby, so finding lunch can be quite difficult.Dinner and breakfast were outstanding—we enjoyed delicious seafood and mountain specialties until we were completely full.Considering what you get, it felt very reasonably priced. My partner was happy too, so we’d definitely like to stay again!
