Ito Spa Hotels

The owners of the hotel are very friendly, although sometimes they cannot communicate in English. Fortunately, there is a translation app to help. The meals they provided were also very rich and delicious, and they gave us the chopsticks we picked when we checked in as a gift before we left. The only disadvantage is that the location is relatively remote. If you travel by car, it will be no problem. Otherwise, you have to take a taxi to get in and out, but good things are always difficult to find, so it is still highly recommended.

The hotel is not located near any public transportation. It is less than 10 minutes by taxi from Izu Kogen Station. We arrived at Izu Kogen Station around 11 am and called the hotel. The hotel replied that they could not pick us up and would send a car after 3 pm. We could only take a taxi to the hotel and then store our luggage. We would check in after 3 pm. We planned to go to Omuro Mountain first. The hotel staff said that they could not send a car to Omuro Mountain and asked us to walk to the nearest bus stop, which was said to be about 800 meters and about 10 minutes. However, we walked all the way uphill and it took us almost half an hour. We almost got heatstroke. Then we took the bus and arrived at Omuro Mountain in one stop. We returned to the hotel and took a taxi. We went back to the hotel to discuss check-out the next day because we had to catch a train at around 7 o'clock the next day. We asked if the hotel could send a car to take us at 6:30, but the answer was no. We asked the hotel to help book a taxi. At first, they said that they might not have one because it was too early and that they couldn't contact us... Later, the taxi company replied that they could have a car, which made us feel relieved. In summary, the hotel's shuttle bus only operates around 3 p.m., so if you need to catch an early or late bus, it's best to book a bus in advance. Also, the hotel staff's English proficiency is relatively low.

The best quality of onsen water and spa

The hotel includes breakfast and dinner. The service and ceremony are the best in the hotel I have stayed in for so many years. I have prepared a lot of activities, including the meal link. The ceremony is also full. The only pity is that there is no shuttle bus between multiple venues.

My family booked a triple room, but the owner moved us to room 205, which has twin beds and a tatami mat. The room is spacious enough for 5-6 people. It also has a kitchen. Drinks are free in the lobby on the first floor, making it a pleasant place to sit and play games in the evening. From Izu Kogen Station to the hotel, you'll need to schedule a pick-up or take a taxi. The roads are narrow and uphill, making it difficult to lug luggage. The area is quiet, with a view of the sea.

The hotel environment is fantastic, with vast lawns and the sea right outside. The outdoor hot springs offer views of the sea and the moon, and the hot springs are amazing. The facilities are also excellent. The hotel's interior decor is a bit dated, but the rooms are quite spacious!

The hotel's exterior photos looked quite ordinary, but I chose it because it's part of the Hoshino Resorts group, and I was so pleasantly surprised upon arrival! My room faced the ocean directly, and the interior design was very well thought out. There's an open-air bath on the rooftop where you can soak while enjoying sea views. The hotel's meals were exquisite, and the service deserves a special mention: the staff were friendly and professional. It offers excellent value for money and I highly recommend it.

Facilities: The hotel is new and has a large hot spring, exceeding expectations for a hot spring experience. Cleanliness: Very clean, and the rooms are spacious. Environment: The surrounding environment is beautiful, with a small river nearby. Service: Excellent service, highly recommended.

Hot springs and meals were good. The room was large and good.

The food was very good. The only disappointing thing was that even though it was Golden Week, there were mosquitoes everywhere in the large building that had overwintered, and my child was bitten by many of them. It was a shame that he was covered in insect bites at the end of April. Mosquitoes also came into the room from the hallway when the door was opened and closed. I killed 10 of them. Also, it was a problem that the shower temperature in the large public bath on the first floor was 40 degrees and the lever could not be changed. Why don't they make it possible to change the temperature? My child said it was too hot, which was a problem.
