Hotel Izukyu, located right in front of Shirahama Ohama Beach, offers indoor and outdoor hot spring baths and a seasonal outdoor pool. A free shuttle bus runs at scheduled times from the nearest station, Izukyu-Shimoda Station, to Hotel Izukyu. The first bus departs at 2:00 p.m., and the last bus departs at 5:40 p.m. Air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a TV, yukata robes, a toilet, and a bath. Rooms are available in either Japanese style with tatami flooring and futons, or Western style with carpeted flooring and beds. The hotel features a coin-operated laundry, a souvenir shop, karaoke, and table tennis. Reservations are required for the restaurant.
"The hotel's bonus is that it offers a shuttle service from Shimoda Station after 2:00 PM and a shuttle service from Shimoda Station after 8:30 AM. It's also a two-minute walk to Shirahama Beach, and there's a 7-11 across the street, making it convenient.
The facilities are average. The room is indeed old. Few beach hotels in Japan have screens, so turning on the lights and opening the windows lets in flies. The bedding is also not very clean, it itches where it touches your skin. It's not the soft, fluffy, clean Japanese-style blankets. The lobby is also incredibly bare 🙂↔️ I've stayed at several hotels in Izu, but this is the only one that offers the same price for a single person and a couple. At 800 yen per night for one person in Shimoda during the off-season, not including breakfast and dinner, it's a bit of a steal.
The washer and dryer looked grimy, but they were cheap. Washing clothes cost 200 yen, and drying clothes 100 yen. Lightweight clothes dried quickly by hanging them on a chair overnight.
The front desk lady spoke Chinese, and the overall information was quite comprehensive. If you want to add a meal, you must order dinner before 16:00. There are two sets of meals: 4000 yen and 5000 yen."
