Hotel Kawachiya Izu Shimogamo Onsen 100% Natural Hot Spring

The Kawazu cherry blossoms were almost over, but the rapeseed flower fields were in full bloom and beautiful.I stayed in a Room with a view of the hot spring source and the Yutake, and the billowing steam against the green backdrop was very soothing.The Room was also comfortable, and I was able to rest well.The baths—both indoor and open-air—were spacious, with well-adjusted water temperatures, making for a very pleasant soak.Thank you very much.

Visited after 7 months. The Onsen is amazing, and the meals are fantastic. The tatami room with a retro Showa-era vibe, complete with a dressing table, feels like stepping back into the 1960s. However, the toilet and other facilities are modern. For us as a couple in our 60s, while the quality of the meals is excellent, the portions might be slightly too large... The rice is incredibly delicious—like it was cooked in a traditional pot! After enjoying such great rice, finishing all the side dishes can be quite challenging. But everything was so tasty that we managed to eat it all. Breakfast was also delicious! Gained some weight—but that's okay once in a while. We'll visit regularly again!
