IZU RETREAT by Onko Chishin

I was able to spend a truly relaxing and luxurious time.From the moment we arrived at the entrance until departure, every staff member we encountered was courteous and warmly welcoming, which made us feel very comfortable. On the second day, we requested eco-friendly housekeeping, and we were grateful for how efficiently they prepared a pleasant environment.The spacious open-air bath was wonderful, with a refreshing sea breeze—it was simply the best. They also told us the sunrise time, so soaking in the morning bath while watching Oshima Island and the rising sun left an especially strong impression.Both dinner and breakfast featuring local ingredients were delicious, and we also enjoyed the beautiful presentation. The explanations of the wine and dishes were fascinating as well. Room service was easy to use.I would definitely like to visit again.

The moment I stepped into the Hotel, I felt a nostalgic escape from everyday life, surrounded by the beautiful sea and tasteful 1970s-inspired interiors. The Room made me feel even closer to the ocean—sitting on a chair on the spacious terrace, gazing at the sparkling horizon and taking a deep breath. A true retreat. The refrigerator was stocked with carefully selected items such as bottled straight fruit juice, local beer and milk, drip coffee, and Japanese black tea—and room service was also free of charge. I was also soothed by the fragrance of the high-quality amenities. The in-Room bath was fed directly from the hot spring source, with an ocean view right in front of me. It was so spacious that even stretching out my legs couldn’t reach—beautifully designed, and truly the best I’ve ever experienced. Meals featured fresh seafood with delicate seasoning, and we were able to enjoy them slowly alongside attentive, heartfelt service. The next morning our whole family felt great—I think this is a wonderful Hotel worth staying at for its own sake.
