"Atagawakan" located in Atagawa, Izu is an older hot spring hotel in Izu. The sea view rooms where you can directly see the sea in the room attract many people to come here specially. The lobby of a traditional hot spring hotel is also very grand. The high-ceiling design makes full use of the sea view from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the Japanese-style table and chair space serves as a cafe for daytime relaxation. ‍‍‍There is a fixed souvenir shop on one side of the hotel. Most of the snacks on display are specialties produced in Shizuoka Prefecture. Many of the snacks are the same as the snack trays provided to guests in the guest rooms. If you like them, you can come here to buy them. There is also Shizuoka Oka green tea is a specialty and is suitable as a souvenir. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ It can be said that every room in "Atagawakan" is designed for sea viewing. A pair of tables and chairs are placed in front of the windows facing the sea, making it convenient to sit and watch the sea. The guest rooms are typical Japanese inns, with traditional tatami and low tables. The TV and furnishings in the room feel as old as the inn itself. However, traditional Japanese-style houses are generally more spacious than Western-style houses. If there are many people, it is recommended to sleep on tatami. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ The hotel's breakfast is usually delivered directly to the room, but for the comfort of the meal, the staff specially arranged another room for us to eat. After we were seated, a wide variety of small plates were served. There were as many dishes as there were plates, basically some small dishes, ranging from cold dishes to miso soup to juice.

Nice Seaview Hot Spring Hotel👍👍👍👍

Atagawa is a small place, even the station is small, and there are not many people. It's not a popular travel destination on the Izu Peninsula. But as a 'travel expert', how can I only visit popular scenic spots? 😀 Atagawa Inn is considered a very famous and large inn locally. It is said to be almost a hundred years old. Inform the inn of the number of people staying in advance by email, some precautions, etc. At that time, the inn mentioned that if you arrive early, there is a car to pick up at the station. But when we arrived, it was already past six o'clock, and we had to call the hotel front desk to ask if a car could be sent to pick us up. The person who answered the phone was an elderly man who said he couldn't speak English, and found a woman who could speak English to listen to the phone. Fortunately, it was finally settled, otherwise my mother and I would probably have to take a taxi with two large suitcases. When I arrived at the hotel, I found that the old lady who communicated with me was at least in her eighties, with white hair and a very good temperament. The hotel room is very large, which is really rare in Japan. Apart from a bit of backache from sleeping in the tatami room, everything else is pretty good. The best thing about this hotel is the sea view room, where you can directly see the magnificent sunrise from the room, with an unbeatable view. Because the hotel was booked late, we didn't book a meal, you can try it if you have the chance. The overall experience is still very good, the hotel's public hot spring bath is also good, divided into indoor and outdoor, it is said that during the fireworks festival, this inn is a first-line view, you can directly watch the fireworks while soaking in the bath. In general, apart from the slightly troublesome shuttle, everything else is highly praised! The shuttle and hotel can also be negotiated to solve! Great choice!
