  Vacation - relaxation

  Exceeded my expectations - if you want a place to relax, listen to soothing ocean waves as it lulls you to sleep, feel pampered and enjoy fine dining in your room - then this is the place. Located about two hours from Tokyo by train - Izu Inatori is a small town - two lane highway - and a train station located next to a quaint market. They responded to all of our emails and answered our questions. Professional, patient, courteous, and sense of humor - since I spoke no Japanese and pantomime some of my words - we both ended up laughing out loud. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well maintained - outside bath/onsen water temperature was perfect. One thing everyone needs to know - the food served was outstanding and included a lot of raw as in not cooked and did have some cooked main dish. Fresh sashimi (locally caught fish called gin-me-dai or golden eye snapper) in all types of dishes mixed with local grown vegetables. If you are not use to eating raw items - just give it a try - at least immerse yourself in the culture and onsen and take the time to really look at the detail in the presentation of the food served. Breakfast and dinner are the only meals served - and there are no restaurants located in the hotel. Across the train station is a little shop that has baked items and sweets. The market also had some fresh fruits, sandwiches, bentos and food items for purchase. Hamanoyu staff members come from different areas of Japan. We were pleasantly surprised you are assigned a dedicated staff member for your entire stay who spoke some English. We were very impressed with the service, excellent fresh seafood and beef and spectacular ocean view. We would definitely return and highly recommend this place.

  First class experience of ryokan/onsen

  Recommended by my Slovenian colleague who lives for 20 years in Japan as the best ryokan/onsen experience his wife managed to find for him in Japan. Staff super-dupper friendly, the dinner and breakfast of the delux experience - I have eaten a lot of Japanese food in Japan and around the world, but the quality of food was superb. Not cheap, but worth of every single yen. We were there with kids and they were delighted by the whole experience of the Japanese traditional dinner.

  1st class food and spacious room with views facing the sea!!

  a ryokan (Japanese inn) which is a "hidden jem" which does not advertise via 3rd parties. The services and food is so good that repeat customers kept their bookings full a few months in peak periods and rarely empty during the off peak months. Loved by Japanese and long term expat residents, this is a gem I hesitated to write a review on for fear of overtaken by tourists spoiling the peace and serenity for loyal long term patrons. No big groups when we were there and even check in is so quietly done and smooth. no one speaks loudly and everyone smiles at you giving you space and peace to enjoy the tranquil surroundings listening to the waves....and u enjoy the same views and sound of the rushing waves from the comfort of your room. the glass windows can also be open up to allow the breeze in.

  Great native experience for the world traveler

  This is a relatively large, deluxe contemporary onsen ryokan providing a luxurious night away for Tokyo families. It resembles a tower hotel, but the experience is different. When you arrive, you hand off your luggage (travel lightjust what you need for a night or two) and sit down in the lounge for refreshments. Sooner or later, a staff member comes by and checks you, sorting any remaining details. Then youre taken to your room and your luggage is delivered. The rooms have a foyer, showers (no tub), a large tatami room, a small sunken lounge area, and then a private balcony with hammock, chairs and table. The tatami room will be set up for dinner on the floor (later to be cleared away for sleeping futons). You leave your shoes in the foyer. Until dinner, you can relax, excurse, or head to the top floor onsen. Robes are supplied. Four or five lovely private baths are available (first come first serve) and two large same-sex baths (these latter have the views). Whichever you choose, you strip down, thoroughly clean yourself at the provided stations, then soak in the pools as long as you like. Then you dry yourself off with the supplied towels, leave the towels in the bins, and return to your room. Whether you opt for dinner or breakfast (or both) in your room: brace yourself for an enormous, extraordinary spread. Its too much food, but it is also really excellent, and spectacularly presented. Some of the items will challenge you. When we were there, abalone was heavily featured, including cooked table side, in its shell with sake. DELICIOUS. Also expect quite a bit of good sashimi and a very large number of small delicacies. Its over the top. Take your time and enjoy it. They dont get a lot of English-speaking clientele, but they handled it well enough. The service here is very high level. The one minor problem we had was that our particular room had a little bit of a wind tunnel effect, but we were there during a typhoon and the other couple next door had no such complaints. Not cheap, but by no means the most expensive option around, and a pretty good value once you factor in all the food.

  Wonderful experience

  I took my father in a wheelchair (he is in 70s and can walk just a little distance) with my mother and two sisters to this hotel in April 2018. I booked a room with a bath on the balcony which has an amazing view over the ocean that my parents are so pleased and appreciated. Since we are mother and three daughters, there was no way to take our father to the big bath in that hotel. I am so happy because my father could enjoy good hot tub and beautiful view from that bath in our hotel room with privacy. The hotel staffs are so helpful and nice. The dinner and the breakfast of this hotel were one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Those meals were served in our room by a staff who was so polite and well trained. He served our meal just in time from the beginning to the end. I am so impressed. Also, this hotel declines to accept tips. They say they just do their jobs. It is beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to have good foods, excellent hot spring and warm hospitality.
