Hotels With Wifi in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

"This was my first solo trip to Japan, and it was a spontaneous decision. Due to my procrastination, I only started booking accommodations two days in advance. Hotels near Izu Kogen and Atami were all booked, so I booked this place. But once I arrived, I felt incredibly comfortable. The hotel is in a very quiet location with beautiful scenery. The hotel facilities are also very new, and the staff are all incredibly warm and welcoming. There were Chinese ladies, as well as Japanese gentlemen and ladies. They were very polite, not in a distant or aloof way, but in a sunny, cheerful, and warm manner. Dinner was also delicious, with lobster, abalone, and many different ways of preparing golden snapper – it was all so fresh! In the morning, a soak in the hot spring is all it takes to head to Izu Kogen. I really, really want to come back here again. Personally, I don't want too many people to discover this wonderful hotel, as I'm worried I won't be able to book it later, but I still really hope they continue to improve."

"The location is excellent, very close to Shimizu Station, and right next to the Shimizu Ginza shopping street. It's about a 15-minute walk to Shimizu Port. The room was bigger than I expected, and the bathroom and toilet were separate. You can hear the train at night, but it wasn't too bothersome. The front desk staff spoke very good English."

"We had a wonderful stay at Yokikan. My husband especially loved the outdoor hot springs — it was one of the highlights of our trip. Staying here was a truly special experience and gave us a real sense of Japanese culture. All the staff were very kind, attentive, and took great care of us. The owner also kindly drove us back to the station when we checked out, which we really appreciated. The garden was beautiful, with a small waterfall and lovely koi fish. We will remember this stay for a long time!"

"This stay at inatori got to be one of the best decisions made. The room came with an absolutely stunning sea view which made this trip from the bustling city worth it!! You need to add the breakfast and dinner to your package too because the food served are top quality and so so delicious. We ate till we were stuffed every single night!! There’s no other hotel that come close to this amazing experience we had here. We also enjoyed the private onsen which can be booked by paying +$$ As the place is very much catered to local tourists, most of the menu, instructions are in Japanese, so just use your translator app if you have any questions! They do have staff who can speak English / mandarin!"

"I've always wanted to visit Izu, and after seeing recommendations online 🤔, I decided to check out this guesthouse. And it certainly didn't disappoint! 🫵 The owner is from Xi'an. After booking, you can message him on WeChat or email him to let him know your estimated arrival time in Izu. 👌 He'll personally pick you up from the station, and if you want to visit other attractions, he'll also drive you if he's available, saving you travel time. The guesthouse itself is beautiful 👏🏻, with a strong artistic vibe thanks to all the decorations. The proprietress is very talented 👍, and every corner of the room is stunningly decorated. I also have to praise the owner's cooking! 👍 If you're craving Xi'an specialties, you can ask the owner to cook for you. You can order à la carte or choose a guesthouse meal package (a heads-up: there are no restaurants or supermarkets nearby) 😜. We booked breakfast and dinner (for breakfast, you can choose between Chinese or Western) ☺, and the owner's noodles are absolutely amazing 😋. If you want to try Xi'an noodles, you can ask the owner to cook them for you (he mentioned they mostly serve noodles for lunch) 👌. I usually don't have much of an appetite for breakfast, so the owner specially made me a big bowl of Qishan Saozi noodles 🍜. Oh my god 😋, the sour and spicy flavors immediately opened up my appetite! Thank you to the incredible owner for saving my Chinese stomach! 🙏 Oh, and in the evenings, the owner will also take you to nearby hot springs ♨. If you want to experience authentic local hot springs, you should definitely try it! ♨ The owners are very easygoing, and after two days, it felt like we were old friends. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Izu 🙂 and another taste of the owner's amazing Saozi noodles! 🍜"

"The hotel is a bit old, a common issue with older Japanese hotels. The front desk staff are all older folks, but their attitude is excellent. 1. Yukata, towels, and toiletries are all provided and free. The room has a bathtub, but for a hot spring bath, you need to go to a designated floor. It's great value for money, and the room is very spacious, making it cost-effective for multiple people. 2. The cleanliness is what you'd expect given its age; I went in with realistic expectations, as it's hard for old hotels to meet strict hygiene standards. 3. The location is excellent and convenient for transportation. It's very close to Ito Station, and you can take the first bus in the morning directly from the starting point to Mount Omuro. 4. The sea is right outside the window, so the view is fantastic! You can even watch the sunrise from your room."

"Paid a fortune for a hotel that was utterly ordinary. The breakfast and dinner were all show – fancy-looking dishes with no real substance or flavor. I can't understand why they charge such high room rates. The room itself was old, and there were so many mosquitoes I couldn't sleep a wink. The in-room hot spring was just an old, small, tiled bathtub. Aside from the hot spring, there were no other facilities to enjoy. In all my years of traveling, this is the first time I've ever booked a hotel with such terrible value for money. If it were around 2000 RMB a night, it might be acceptable, but anything more is completely not worth it. Everything was subpar except for the good service."

"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."

"The hotel has good money value and provides excellent facilities and services, I can’t complain anything. From the photos it seems the bunk beds are not very good, actually quite good. It has public bath, very clean, washing machine (I saw the staff cleaning the filter, very good). Also it has library with heaps of anime books and free to borrow."

"This is a charmingly rustic onsen hotel. The room doors even have old-fashioned doorknobs. I booked a renovated, newer room type for one night, which featured separate shower and toilet areas. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the station; I saw staff holding the hotel's sign before I even left the station exit. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by staff. Check-in was smooth, with the front desk patiently explaining everything. The sixth floor provides tea and snacks at certain times of the day. Dinner was quite good; knowing we were Chinese guests, they specially arranged for a Chinese-speaking attendant. He was very enthusiastic, introducing each dish, and the ingredients were fresh. The main course, pan-fried alfonsino, was delicious. The bathhouse is large and includes outdoor pools, and the onsen water is excellent and very relaxing. In the evenings, there are local citrus jellies in a small fridge by the bathhouse entrance – a perfect treat after a soak. Breakfast was also very extensive. If you're doing an in-depth tour of Izu, staying here for two nights (I believe staying two consecutive nights also includes a complimentary lunch) is an excellent choice before heading further south. Afterward, you can take the shuttle back to Izu-Nagaoka Station. Previous reviews mentioned some guests feeling discriminated against as Chinese visitors, but I didn't experience that. As for stuffy rooms or strong smells, it's pretty common for older Japanese-style hotel rooms to have the natural scent of cypress, bamboo, and tatami mats. I believe only the fourth floor has renovated rooms with separate bathrooms. I personally can't stand showers with bathtubs, so I specifically looked into it, and soon after, Trip.com offered upgraded room options. Yes, the restaurant did have a slight cooking smell, but it was tolerable. In short, for guests who are very particular and demanding, Izu might not be the best choice, as there are very few international luxury hotels here. I hope this review is helpful to others. Some small surprises are best experienced for yourselves!"
