Boutique Hotels in Ito

"This was the best hotel experience I've ever had! While the price isn't cheap, the experience was incredibly worthwhile. It's also worth noting that the hotel's location is quite secluded, making it ideal for those traveling by car. Environment: The guest rooms are beautifully designed, and the small courtyard has a Zen-like feel. Whether soaking in the hot springs indoors or outdoors, the views are truly elegant and pleasant. The rooms are also incredibly spacious! Both the room and the courtyard are photogenic, but unfortunately, my schedule was tight and I didn't have time to take any good photos. The hotel is located at the foot of Mount Omuro, creating fresh air and the lovely sound of woodpeckers waking up in the morning. The courtyard's high walls provide excellent privacy. Overall, it's wonderful to soak in the hot springs so close to nature! Service: The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. On the day of our visit, we hadn't made a thorough travel guide, so we couldn't get a taxi or catch the bus after leaving the attraction. We finally called and asked if they could pick us up. Although the hotel doesn't offer a shuttle service, the manager heard about it and came to pick us up. We arrived just in time for dinner. (Visitors visiting Izu Kogen must plan their transportation accordingly! It's generally okay during the day, but taxis are incredibly difficult after 5 PM, and when the buses close, it's a real hassle.) Dinner at Green Color Yuzen: The food was the biggest surprise. The menu combines local specialties and seasonal vegetables, and the presentation was beautiful and delicious! Each dish was small, but we were still quite full after finishing them all. Despite the language barrier, the manager took great pains to explain the dishes to us. Breakfast was incredibly filling! The dishes were varied and generous, and they were delicious! 😋 All in all, it was a fantastic experience! This was the first stop on our trip. My husband and I flew for over ten hours to Tokyo, feeling shaky, and then spent a full day walking around Izu Kogen. After checking into this hotel that night, we felt completely refreshed! Thank you to the hotel staff, and thank you to Izu! Vacationing is such a blessing, and I feel even more hopeful about the days ahead."
