Romantic Hotels in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

"Pros: The room with a private hot spring bath was quite spacious, offering the experience of both a Japanese-style tatami mat and a regular bed. On the second floor, there are two washing machines and two dryers available; you can exchange 100-yen coins at the front desk to use them. The distance to Ito Station is decent, and along the way, you'll pass MaxValue (Aeon) and 7-Eleven, where you can stock up on water and snacks. There's also a handmade soba restaurant that tastes pretty good. The room was generally clean, and the price was reasonable, comparable to hot spring hotels in China, and possibly even cheaper during the off-season, with more convenient transportation. Cons: If it rains when you're heading to the hotel, carrying luggage can be quite a hassle. The hotel doesn't provide many disposable amenities, such as bottled water, combs, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The hotel's decor is quite classic, the lighting isn't very bright, and the worst issue of all was the sewer smell from the toilet."

"Ta-da! I declare this the best onsen hotel I've ever stayed in—hands down! From the antique and elegant decor to the attentive and meticulous service, everything left an excellent impression on my trip to Izu. The surrounding scenery is also well worth a visit—babbling brooks, the chirping of insects and cicadas, and a taste of brown sugar ice cream—this is truly the taste of summer! Anyone visiting Izu absolutely must come here!"

"We chose Kameya Rakuan, recommended by fellow travelers. After finishing our trip at Shimoda Park, we took the Izu Kyuko Line to Ito. The hotel is a convenient 5-minute walk from Ito Station, and the path is flat, making it easy to handle luggage. The hotel staff, though a bit older, had some key information prepared in both Chinese and Japanese, so there were no language barriers. Our room was on the 6th floor, accessible by elevator. The futon beds were already set up in the tatami room. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The hotel offers two public onsen, Galaxy and Deep Sea, as well as a private onsen, all free of charge. The private onsen can be used if it's unlocked. The Galaxy and Deep Sea baths swap between male and female use at 2 AM, so be sure to check before you soak. Japanese yukata can be picked up on the first floor. Our room faced east, offering a sunrise view, but unfortunately, it was too cloudy that day for a perfect view. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money."

"An experience at a Japanese onsen guesthouse that exceeded expectations, and my first guesthouse stay in Japan! When I dropped off my luggage, the host meticulously disinfected the wheels with alcohol. Upon check-in, the owner gave a detailed explanation of the hotel facilities. The room was a traditional Japanese tatami style. As soon as you enter, there's the restroom. I have to mention, the Japanese really do practice water recycling here; the water from the sink directly flows into the toilet tank. The room also had a private onsen, and the owner thoughtfully provided tea and sweets. The biggest highlight of this place is taking a cable car to the top floor to enjoy the natural outdoor onsen bath – it was absolutely wonderful. When we left, the uncle personally carried our luggage to the entrance (to protect the old facility, you can't push luggage inside), which was a huge plus! Afterward, they offered a complimentary ride to Ito Station. The only thing that could be improved: I hope the bathrobes are clean."

"A quiet onsen town, with traditional Japanese rooms. It's slowly becoming commercialized, and fewer places offer dinner and breakfast served in your room these days. This stay, however, was a great experience. Since it was our anniversary, the staff even arranged for us to have a pair of mandarin ducks in our room. They took photos of us and gifted them to us at check-out, which was a lovely touch. We visited on a weekday, so the public bath felt almost like a private one. Enjoying the public bath all to ourselves, gazing at the ocean and listening to the waves, was incredibly relaxing. The hotel's shuttle bus is super convenient, getting guests to Izu-Atagawa Station in just a minute."

"The hotel is located at the South Exit of Mishima Station. Make sure you don't go to the wrong exit, as the North and South exits of Mishima Station are not connected! After exiting the station, turn right, and the hotel is just a short walk away. Take the escalator inside up to the second floor, and you'll find the hotel lobby. From the moment you check in, you'll find views of Mount Fuji everywhere: the public area on the 2nd-floor front desk, the floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest rooms, the 14th-floor onsen, and the 13th-floor restaurant. You can gaze at Mount Fuji just by looking up, and if you're lucky, you can catch breathtaking views at sunrise and sunset. Despite being right above the station, the hotel is very quiet. Downstairs, there are izakayas, unagi restaurants, coffee shops, yakiniku, and convenience stores all very close by. Rakujuen Garden is also right next door. The hotel's breakfast quality is excellent. I especially loved the grilled fish and their fruit; the menu didn't repeat over two days, and the ingredients were fresh. Eating while looking out at Mount Fuji truly enhances the experience. I highly recommend this Mount Fuji Mishima Tokyu Hotel; you absolutely must stay here if you're visiting the area."
