Hotel Izukyu

We loved everything and everyone. We were surprised with how many languages the staff could speak. Pool was awesome! Staff was awesome! Beach is amazing and super close! There is great onsen! Right by hotel there is a convenience store and a small Hawaiian cafe which sells great lunch. There is a rental store for surfing and body boards etc.. We had breakfast included and we reserved dinner every night by 4pm. On our last night at the hotel we ordered steak from additional menu. Food was amazing and so well presented. There were washers and dryers, and machine that sells detergent for 50 yen. There is a store inside the hotel where we could buy drinks, snacks and gifts, bathing suits and shirts, beach sandals and sleepers. Prices were very reasonable and gifts were not higher price than anywhere else. One thing we wished for was to have a gym inside the hotel, or indoor pool during the rainy days, although we swam under the rainy day.

This is a lovely hotel, very traditional and it's obviously been there a while. The common areas were a bit damp smelling in places, but the room itself was very large and had been beautifully refurbished. We didn't use the onsen, but really appreciated the bath in our room with an exceptional view to the beach. The room was impeccably clean. Recommend that you include your meals in your stay here as there is nowhere else in the vicinity to eat, but also be aware that if you are not Japanese, the food is! The meals are very seafood heavy, which is to be expected as this area is famous for seafood. I found the food quality is fine, but they cater for big numbers so it was a bit flavourless compared to food we'd had elsewhere in Japan. The shuttle service is also a bonus, with the hotel shuttle travelling to and from the Shimoda station every half an hour for most of the day, great for a trip to do sightseeing for the day. All in all, this is a really nice hotel for a more traditional experience.

The hotel was very nice, and baby friendly. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Great views from our room and easy access to the beach. We stayed here to visit the Kawazuzakura Festival and we would definitely visit again in the summer months.

Me, my friend and our kids coming here at the end of summer vacation for last 4 years. We love how it clean, how people are working and helpful there, we love onsen, we like very much location very close to beach so your kids just few steps from ocean, area for kid’s fireworks with everything you need. We even don’t want try another place for stay lately…

Very large room with a bath overlooking white sand beach.You can soak in the tub and watch the surfers. Dinner was awesome - abalone, fish,sashimi etc.
