We stayed here for an Onsen trip over the 2025–26 New Year holidays.On New Year’s Eve, after a delicious dinner, we enjoyed traditional year-end soba noodles. After having osechi at breakfast on New Year’s Day, we relaxed in our Room and took turns visiting the private baths, enjoying a peaceful and restful holiday.At dinner on the second night, however, the guests at the next table were a bit noisy, which bothered us and made it hard to fully enjoy our meal. While private dining Rooms may be difficult to arrange, adding partitions between tables in the dining area would create more privacy and make it easier to enjoy the excellent food.

I visit Minami-Izu a few times a year, but this was my first time staying here for one night. I had planned on No Meals Included, but I asked on site and was able to change to include breakfast. Sorry for the last-minute request, but they kindly accommodated me, and the breakfast was excellent. All the staff were very friendly, and both the private bath and the large public bath were wonderful. If the private bath was available, we could use it as many times as we liked with no Reservation or extra charge. My husband and I are already talking about coming back.The amenities were minimal, but extra bath towels were provided so we didn’t have to reuse wet ones, and everything was very clean. We were extremely satisfied! Thank you also for taking a commemorative photo for us when we left. I heard renovations are planned for next year. I’d love to return—hopefully the price won’t go up too much.
