Top Couple Friendly Hotels in Ito

"We chose Kameya Rakuan, recommended by fellow travelers. After finishing our trip at Shimoda Park, we took the Izu Kyuko Line to Ito. The hotel is a convenient 5-minute walk from Ito Station, and the path is flat, making it easy to handle luggage. The hotel staff, though a bit older, had some key information prepared in both Chinese and Japanese, so there were no language barriers. Our room was on the 6th floor, accessible by elevator. The futon beds were already set up in the tatami room. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The hotel offers two public onsen, Galaxy and Deep Sea, as well as a private onsen, all free of charge. The private onsen can be used if it's unlocked. The Galaxy and Deep Sea baths swap between male and female use at 2 AM, so be sure to check before you soak. Japanese yukata can be picked up on the first floor. Our room faced east, offering a sunrise view, but unfortunately, it was too cloudy that day for a perfect view. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money."

"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."

"I originally planned to leave a 5-star review because the hotel itself has a very nice, cozy atmosphere. However, I ended up extremely disappointed due to something being stolen during housekeeping service. I travel frequently and stay in hotels often, so I’m usually very careful. This time, I didn’t bring many valuables with me, so I didn’t lock my suitcase when I went out. I had bought a few items from a drugstore and left them in the room. When I came back, one of the three packages was missing. I assume they didn’t take everything to avoid suspicion. I’m usually very cautious about housekeeping and potential loss of belongings, which is why I selected the “do not disturb / no cleaning” option. However, this hotel requires daily cleaning of the in-room hot spring bath. Since I booked a top-floor room with a private onsen, the front desk informed me that staff would still enter the room to clean it. I never expected that even opened, low-value cosmetics would be taken. The missing items were worth over $60. While it’s not a huge amount, it still feels very upsetting. The hotel itself is fine, but please be very careful with your belongings if you stay here. If you leave the room, make sure to take your valuables with you. The safe in the room is extremely small and cannot hold much. Overall, this experience was very disappointing."
