Kawazu Homestays

This used to be our favorite summer spot. We'd return at least once a year, for perhaps 4-5 years in a row. However, we hadn't been back for quite a long time. This is what I learned on our most recent visit: The hotel room (I think we had a ”Hollywood Standard Twin) was quite spacious. The beds were large and comfortable, and there is a nice-sized balcony with a generous ocean view. I see some other reviews on Tripadvisor calling the rooms ”old and smelly” -- this has never, ever been my experience, not once. The room seemed exactly as it was over 10 years ago, but that's fine. The colors are soft, muted ”beach” colors and we were very comfortable. On our first night we ate at the ”Melesea” restaurant, which serves French cuisine. We chose the ”Demi portion” course, which was about 9,000 yen (about $62USD with today's exchange rate). We chose it because it wasn't as high priced as some of the other course meals and the portion sizes sounded right for us. There is no question that the ”Demi portion” course was one of the best I've ever had in my life. The chef (Mr. Ohki) is obviously a professional who really understands how to bring out the delicate flavors of any dish, and he is a master at preparing sauces. Everything that was served was outstanding. No, we didn't want to pay that much money per person, but ultimately we made the right choice. We both were extremely impressed. The above two things, plus generally good weather, added up to a good experience. Here, though, are things that you should be aware of: This is essentially a family hotel. That means if you are coming here for peace and quiet, and you make the mistake of coming on a weekend or a national holiday, you can expect lots of screaming children running with abandon down the hallways and fussing in the restaurants and everywhere else. Japanese parents tend to indulge and spoil their little ones. And forget about using the pool, since that's where parents will be staked out the first thing in the morning. If you are a parent, you might find this to be the perfect hotel. If you aren't, and you do not enjoy the boundless energy and noise of children, you will be sorry you booked a room here. So, think carefully about the dates you arrive and leave. As for prices: Although you can get a ”Tokyu Hotel” member card, and although you can find online promotions, the way the hotel makes its money is through its dinners. You are going to pay a lot for them, although there is effort put into them, so, you do feel you are having an ”experience.” But they do not come cheaply. Also, if you don't book your room with breakfast, expect to pay ¥2900 for a ”buffet breakfast.” If you are Japanese, you will love this breakfast; if not, you will find an adequate selection of items for a Western breakfast. But what if you want to go ”out to eat” at night, instead of paying between 10-20,000 yen for a meal? Good luck. Unless you have your own car (and I'd say about 90% of the customers

A hotel nestled in the mountains of Kawazu Town. When we arrived at the parking lot, the hotel staff greeted us. While receiving a welcome drink at check-in, we made reservations for the rental hot springs and Kawazu cherry blossom light-up transportation, and were then shown to our guest rooms. There are many stairs in the building and grounds, which may be difficult for both owners and dogs if they have weak legs. There are plenty of dog runs available, and our two dogs seemed very satisfied. Reservations cannot be made for the dock spa, so you will have to make use of it on a negotiable basis. The dogs seemed confused about their first hot spring experience, but they were able to clean themselves up in the bath after playing in the outdoor dog run. There are dog goods in the guest room as well. Our staff will drive you to the restaurant where you will see the Kawazu cherry blossoms illuminated and have dinner. The food at the restaurant was very well prepared and delicious. They lent me a pet cart for my dog. In addition, meals for your dog can be prepared and eaten together. The private open-air bath had a great sense of openness and the weather was perfect. It's a shame that there is only one washing area, but the time spent using it was 50 minutes, which was plenty. However, it was a shame that I couldn't take a bath in the indoor hot spring (Yuraku) because the temperature was too high and I couldn't adjust it. You can also have breakfast with your dogs. Yogurt for dogs was also available. There aren't many facilities that allow you to bring your dog with you, but at this hotel, being with your dog is treated as a normal thing. I think this is a hotel that will satisfy not only owners but also pets.

In the corona, I booked a room with an open-air bath because of a trip that reduced contact with people. I was waiting for a bath repair first at check-in. After that, I couldn't repair it, and I couldn't adjust the hot water temperature of the bath, but I could use it without problems. The open-air bath with this room has a device to circulate hot water, and it seems to be a mechanism to warm hot water and remove dirt, but in fact the main circulating device was broken. Therefore, the dirty floating was not clean forever and I booked the inn for the purpose of bathing, but I couldn't enjoy the bath. The explanation of the inn is also a lie to lie the failure and is not convinced. As a result, I was able to pull out hot water once on the way and put hot water for the morning bath. It is a pity that I couldn't enjoy the open-air bath. I will leave the grudge. The hotel itself is small and feels good because it can hear the sea and the tide. I booked with a stay plan, but I can't recommend it. The amount of heavy night was not good, and the fragrance of Izu was hardly at a slightly high-class finish level. Breakfast was a pity without standard dried food such as Izu's inn. It will be a meal in the dining room, but the plan for ordinary meals may be good. It is an open-air bath in the room, but it is also described in the explanation of the inn, but it is not a hot spring. It is a mechanism to circulate and heat hot water. It is possible to add hot water, but it seems that it cannot overflow hot water on the mechanism. It is convenient to overflow. It was a room on the 2 floor, but I think the blindfold is low when entering the bathtub and can be seen from the outside. Also, because it is a location that can be seen from the sandy beach, women recommend towels towels and bathing. And I was quite worried that I could see a fishing boat in front of me in the morning. I thought that if you were just fishing, you would need to consider only the distance that can be seen with binoculars if you had malicious intentions. The facilities were old, but the fixtures and so on were new. There was a mysterious air cleaner. Unfortunately, raw beer cannot be drunk. It was only bottled beer. The goods in the facilities are only vending machines. You might want to buy what you need first. I want you to prepare only the ice vending machine. The black mold in the inner bath was quite concerned.

Featured on TV many times. Scored 4.9 on review sites for all-around quality. Izu's local cuisine and 5 types of baths to be enjoyed.

Hotel likes the tsuruyama no sho and Westin of Ebisu in Tokyo, but this is Ishida Ya! It is about 5 minutes walk from Kawazu Station and is convenient first. And it is very quiet! There was a cherry blossom in the pond attached to the room, and there were two open-air and inner baths in the room, but the room itself was also wide 々 and I was able to spend a luxury time. I am glad to enjoy this price because I have used the early discount. It was check-in at 15 o'clock, so I regretted that I should have come to check-in earlier, and I came around 19 o'clock, so I can't see anything at night. I was sightseeing nearby waterfalls. The coffee of the service was delicious and it was a treat. There was no shortage of service and furnishings, and I was able to spend very comfortable and comfortable. Thank you very much. I will visit again!
