Beach Hotels in Ito

An experience at a Japanese onsen guesthouse that exceeded expectations, and my first guesthouse stay in Japan! When I dropped off my luggage, the host meticulously disinfected the wheels with alcohol. Upon check-in, the owner gave a detailed explanation of the hotel facilities. The room was a traditional Japanese tatami style. As soon as you enter, there's the restroom. I have to mention, the Japanese really do practice water recycling here; the water from the sink directly flows into the toilet tank. The room also had a private onsen, and the owner thoughtfully provided tea and sweets. The biggest highlight of this place is taking a cable car to the top floor to enjoy the natural outdoor onsen bath – it was absolutely wonderful. When we left, the uncle personally carried our luggage to the entrance (to protect the old facility, you can't push luggage inside), which was a huge plus! Afterward, they offered a complimentary ride to Ito Station. The only thing that could be improved: I hope the bathrobes are clean.

This time I stayed near Izu Kogen Station, just a few hundred meters walk away, which was very convenient. Facilities: The restaurant and hot springs were all available. Although the hot springs and restrooms are shared, it wasn't inconvenient at all. You can play PS5 and use the massage chair. There are two hot spring baths, one large and one small, which can be reserved in advance. Cleanliness: It was cleaned daily. While traditional Japanese-style rooms don't inherently look as 'clean' as modern ones, I found it quite clean. Environment: It's close to the train station and there are some restaurants nearby. The owner keeps the place very nicely decorated, with many interesting ornaments and designs. Service: The staff member is *********, which made communication very easy. Every day, a large thermos of hot water was left at the door. The hot spring reservation software was very convenient and integrated with WeChat. When I left, the owner insisted on driving me to the train station – the service was absolutely top-notch. This little inn is quite interesting; if you're used to modern hotels, you might want to try this Japanese-style one. I would definitely consider staying here again if I come back to Izu.
