All-Suite & Ocean View Inn - Izu Kunpu -

I’ve stayed several times at Tateshina Kaoru and really enjoyed it, so when I heard it had also opened in Shimoda, we stayed there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It seems the former Tōtei has been renovated, and the cleanliness of the Room, the quality of the food (generous portions), the in-room bath (Onsen), and the service were all up to Kaoru’s usual standards. Best of all, with Irida Beach right in front of you, the panoramic bath on the 4th floor has an incredible view and was truly relaxing for both body and mind. Thank you very much.After swimming at Irida Beach during summer vacation, I’d love to stay again—but our preferred dates are already fully booked, so we’ll have to wait until next time. We’re looking forward to it.

It was our first return visit in a while, and while the familiar atmosphere remains, the facilities and layout are now even more comfortable. In particular, we loved that the Room bathroom is spacious and that it has been upgraded from regular hot water to an Onsen. At the newly added open-air observation bath, we enjoyed the beautiful ocean views by day and a sky full of stars at night in the clear air. We also appreciated the warm hospitality, and were happy that the main dinner dish—simmered splendid alfonsino—remains unchanged. If nighttime locking hours and checkout could each be extended by one more hour, it would be perfect.
