Hotels With Pools in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

It was an amazing decision to stay at Shimoda hotel. The location is good. We arrived easily. The room is spacious and the beds are comfortable too! Not to mention the dinner that we reserved was very interesting and a spectacle! We were quite lucky because there was fireworks in the area so we saw them from the restaurant in the hotel. I'd say the breakfast is also very worthwhile since there is a variety of food options and some quite unique to Shimoda.

A heaven for car lovers, and I'm lucky to be able to visit this place, and also enjoy the drive experience with a top-up. Location is slightly away from everything so you are stranded unless driving (you should be), and you're just minutes from Gotemba with so much choice for food and drinks compared to the hotels choices that were in my opinion limited and costly. Lastly, as the hotel was a part of the museum, it was a bummer that we had to pay to enter the museum despite the high cost of the hotel.

The room window faces the sea. The view from the window is a painting with ever-changing colors. You never get tired of it. The breakfast is also rich and delicious. It is impressive. Although the beach is beautiful, it is a little far from the hotel. There is also a road between them. It feels that it is not privately owned by the hotel, so there are no safety protection facilities. There are no shower and changing facilities. The outdoor swimming pool is only for viewing and cannot be used. I wonder if it will be the same after June.

The room was spacious and quiet. The front desk staff spoke Japanese and English and were very friendly. The view was also great, with the ocean right outside the window. You could hear the sound of the waves with the window open, but it was well soundproofed when closed. It had two beds and a large tatami mat, which could fit two people, making it a room for four in total. There's free parking, and the hotel was clean. The shower and bedroom were separated, which was a nice touch. Very satisfied.

The staff were all very welcoming. The only minor drawback was that the pool was only open from 10 AM to 4 PM. There are both indoor and outdoor hot springs. The Imai-hama station is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, but there's nothing else around. You'll find supermarkets and restaurants in Kawazu, the next station over. The hotel boasts a prime beachfront location with a sandy beach where you can swim in the ocean. Breakfast was incredibly rich and varied, though it did get crowded during peak hours. The rooms are very spacious, perfect for family trips.

I was satisfied with the location and service. I was able to relax in the bath in the room. The barbecue was delicious. If I had to say something, I felt that the lighting was not bright enough considering the size of the room. Also, since the hotel is located in the middle of nature, there was a small cockroach in the room, but we were able to deal with it with the insecticide provided in the room.

A lovely, cozy hotel with a charming cottage-style interior. It features a private rotenburo, available by reservation. Though situated 4.5 km from the station, there's a regular bus service. The staff are incredibly friendly; when I asked the receptionist to call a taxi to the station, she even offered to drive me there herself in her own car! They also arrange barbecues. The food, however, was just average.

The facilities are old but clean and there are many restaurants around and free parking and the staff are very friendly. If you go to Sun Valley Iznagaoka (= main building), there is a very large large bath (7 minutes walk, free shuttle is available at any time). The fatigue of the day is completely washed away. Breakfast is also very delicious to go to the main building. I walk when I come and go, so it digests and it's really hard. I'll go back.

The service was very good and the place is amazing. Nevertheless they didn’t allow us to have dinner or breakfast in the hotel as they said it was fully booked, and when requested for late check in we were asked to pay more. It would have been expected to be able to at least check in a bit later since we couldn’t enjoy the dinner or breakfast in the hotel and was inconvenient.

Kanto-Izu Trip in September 2025~ For this Izu trip, we stayed at Atagawakan. After exiting JR Izu-Atagawa Station, I was about to walk to the hotel with my luggage when I saw Atagawakan's shuttle bus pulling up right outside, so I hopped right on. Over the next few days, I noticed the shuttle runs very frequently – I wonder if it's timed with the JR train schedule? It's not actually a long walk, but there are some inclines and declines, which can be a bit tiring. The front desk at Atagawakan always has staff who speak Chinese, making communication very convenient. The overall environment is also excellent, grand and tidy. Although it has the classic layout of an older onsen hotel, it's quite comfortable and cozy. The room was spacious enough, with a balcony directly overlooking the ocean and offering sunrise views. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night, I slept wonderfully. I've had a few experiences with Japanese-style rooms in onsen hotels before, and they were usually quite average, and I didn't sleep well. So I was surprised that here, even with the sound of the waves and direct sunlight from the sunrise early in the morning, neither affected my sleep. The hot springs are on the 4th floor. There aren't many baths, but there are both indoor and outdoor options. I went late, so I practically had the whole place to myself every day, which was very comfortable. There are a few restaurants near the hotel, not a huge selection, but the ones I tried had excellent ingredients, and I was very satisfied with all of them. They are definitely worth trying.
