Hotel Romantik di Izu

I recently had the delight of staying at Izu Marriott, and I must say, it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the stunning location of the hotel. Nestled in the picturesque town of Izu, the hotel is surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The hotel itself is equally impressive. It is well-designed and beautifully decorated, creating a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. What really stood out to me, however, was the exceptional service provided by the staff at Izu Marriott. They were incredibly polite and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure that I had a memorable stay. Whether I needed recommendations for local attractions or assistance with my room, the staff was always available and eager to help. Especially thank Roshan and the front desk team, who provide exceptional service to us.

The best ryokan ever! In room hot tub and ocean view were so sweet. Dinner and breakfast were so delicious. Staffs are so kind and perfect. Welcome drink and milk pudding were so good. Price is worthy to pay for the services that i had experienced. i would like to revisit here!

Located near the downstream of the Katsura River, the hotel straddled both sides of the river. It is a historical building built nearly a hundred years ago with several phases of expansion. Check in was smooth though it took a while to finish. We went into our room and found it is one of the largest rooms we have ever stayed in Japan. The room was in fact a suite with separate bedroom and living room, and an additional sitting area, toilet and bathroom. My view was facing the hillside with lots of green. It was really an old house and it sounds when you are walking on the wooden floor. The hotel is quite big, with a restaurant, 2 public baths, one oudoor and and indoor, and 4 private baths, a bridge inside the hotel, a souvenir shop, a coffee room and many rest area. Free afternoon snacks and late night noodle is provided to guests. Japanese style dinner and breakfast was served. The quality and portion were both very good, and service was of course outstanding. I particularly like the option of soba in addition to white rice. Another excellent offer of the hotel is teh check out time of 12 noon. I have never stayed in a onsen hotel with check out time of 12, it gives you enough time to enjoy the hotel facilities.

喫煙・角部屋・19畳+広縁付きの部屋に泊まりました。 部屋の空調は昔の空調で　エアコンの調整が出来る事は出来ますが　弱い・・ 9月の後半で、少し涼しい季節でしたが、風呂上りは暑い。 そして、川床で山、そして　雨なので　湿度が半端ない。 除湿機はありますが、タオルは全然乾かないし。 後づけのエアコンがないのであれば　扇風機とかがないと　無理です・・・ 夏は　とてもじゃないけど　行けない・・と思ってしまいました。 19畳なので　尚更だったのかもしれません。 2間に仕切られるので　閉めましたが　全然変化なく。。。 料理は　ベーシックコース。 川床で　朝晩の食事を頂きます。 とても　気持ちのいい空間です。 雨が降っていましたが、全然問題なく過ごせました。 秋までの時期　蚊がいます。 食事処に入る前に　虫よけスプレーをするといいです。 料理は、とても美味しいです。 ベーシックでも　お腹いっぱいになります。 少し涼しくなってきた季節だと　火が止まってしまうと　すぐ冷めてしまいますので 温かいものは　早く召し上がった方がいいですね。 「わさび鍋」は、とても　爽やかな風味で辛さはなくなります。 わさび苦手な人も食べられてました。 鍋の味も　とても美味しかったです。 食前酒は、ラフランス酒で珍しかったです。 前菜も6種くらいありました。 お造りそして、焼物は、鮎の塩焼き。 鮎は、子持ち鮎で珍しかったです。少し　小ぶりの鮎でした。 茶わん蒸し、わさび鍋、天ぷら、ご飯は栗ご飯でした。椀物の後は、デザート。 杏仁豆腐、メロン、シャインマスカットでした。 そして、夜食のミニおにぎり。(中にちゃんと梅が入ってました) 朝ごはんは、基本的には　ご飯のお供がたくさん。 なので　ご飯を食べちゃう・・というおかず。 わさび丼に出来たり、海苔、じゃこ、*焼き、漬物、わさび味噌、かまぼこ・・などなど。 角煮のような茶わん蒸しが　おかずっぽいイメージ。 焼き物は、少しだけついています。 魚が　半切れずつ。そして、鳥団子1本。 ご飯食べすぎちゃう的な感じでした。おひつ　おかわりしました。 味噌汁は、火にかかっているので　火が止まるまでは温かくいただけます。 お風呂は、貸切が　4つ。 どれも　1～2　最大3人・・という大きさ。 敷地を広めにとってあるわりには　風呂面積が　小さい。。 100%かけ流しはいいのですが、なんか　もったいない作りでした。 貸切は　何度でも入れます。 スマホで　空き情報をチェックできますが、外で待っていたりすると　空　→　満に すぐ変わります。 空いたからと言って　タイミングが合わないと　入れません。 鍵をかけると　連動するしくみになっているようです。 ① かぐやの湯は　見た目は可愛いけど、2人で入ると体育座り状態。 ② 月下美人は　洗い場が　1つあります。シャワー付き。脱衣所は　 　　　1人くらい　しか立てず　ドアあけて　アプローチがあり　風呂・・ 　　　なので　ガラスの扉の鍵をかけてから進みます。 　　　ここは、体育座りで　3人かな。 ③ 森のこみちは、3人は入れます。綺麗です。脱衣所も広め。 ④ 流星　シャワー付き。　タイミングが悪くは入れませんでした。 かぐやの湯と森のこみちは、23:30までで　朝は使用できません。 建屋から出て　外に行きます。外で待ってると蚊に刺される。雨だと外では待てません。 どれも　30分を過ぎると　ネットに　経過時間が出ます。 長いと　1時間とかの人もいました。(ちょっと　ヒンシュク) 大浴場は　女湯は　内湯のみ。　男湯は、小さい露天があるそうです。 岩盤浴はありますが、なんとなく　使いづらい感じ。 お風呂の入替えがあるといいと思いました。 部屋には　空の冷蔵庫があり、グラス、湯のみ。 部屋のお風呂は　ユニットバスですが、温泉がでます。 お香がおいてあるのが　良かったです。 お風呂に行く　カゴも便利でした。 鏡台が　大きいものがあり、使い良かったです。TVも大きかったです。 広縁には　4人分の椅子があり　便利でした。 近くに出会い橋があるので　徒歩で　夕暮れ時に行くと　綺麗です。 川床も　外側から見れます。ハートのモチーフも綺麗です。 小雨が降ってましたが　行きました。　風情があり、雰囲気はとてもよかったです。 ブラっと散歩するのに　お薦めです。 【問題点】 タオルが乾かないくらいの湿度

■立地 　修善寺駅から路線バス（220円現金のみ）で、みゆき橋下車2-3分。桂川沿いで新しい橋を渡った反対側。路線バスの修善寺温泉駅からも徒歩7分ぐらい。高層の大型旅館。紅葉の時は景色が綺麗かもしれない。 ■近隣アトラクション 　無料貸出の電動自転車で虹の郷まで行くのがオススメ。自転車もPanasonic製で新しく、坂道でもパワフルだった。20分ぐらいで到着できる。虹の郷ではSLや富士山の景色などが楽しめる。また、修善寺温泉に宿泊の領収書などがあると、虹の郷は３割引に窓口してくれる。 ■部屋 　部屋が広く、畳にベットを設置してあったので寝心地も快適だった。加湿器があったのが良かった。 ■食事 　品数で勝負のビュッフェスタイル。子連れであれば、エンタメ気分で楽しめる。綿菓子などの縁日仕様にすればもっと楽しいかも。逆にごちゃごちゃしているので、ゆっくり楽しみたいや雰囲気重視の方にはおすすめできない。 ■アメニティ 　旅館内のデイリーヤマザキのコンビニ前で好きなものを好きなだけ取るスタイル。大箱ホテルだけにこのように人件費・メンテコストを下げる経営努力は、合理的だと思う。浴衣が選べるサービスは非常に良いと思う。有料でスペシャルな浴衣があってもいいのでは？インスタ映えするようなデザインがあれば。 ■ホスピタリティ 　チェックインが17時をまわりそうだったので、事前に連絡。その際は、夕食は18時と18時半の２回しかなく、１９：４５の２部制は今の時期はやっていないとのことで、昼飯も食べずに急いでホテルに向かう。宿のフロントでは、１８時の次は、１９時半の２部制と言われ、電話と時間の食い違い有り。それに対してクレームしたものの、受付の女性はクレームが日常茶飯事なのか、全くお詫びも確認もなく淡々としたもの。おそらく、電話の方は勘違いで時間を伝えたものと思われるが、こちらが１９：４５はあるのかと聞いて、ないと念押しをしているのに、間違った時間を伝えたのが残念。ミスは仕方がないが、受付のフォローがなかったので失望。

I DON’T recommend this ryokan! It fails to deliver the quality of service that matches its pricing. Firstly, having a few bugs in the room might be tolerable, but finding them emerging continuously from the futon and mattress is unacceptable. Around midnight, bugs resembling termites started appearing from the bedding. We had no choice but to call front desk for assistance. Despite their efforts, the staff couldn't contain the infestation. Instead of offering a room change, they simply replaced the futon and mattress. Having stayed at luxury hotels worldwide, I've never encountered such an issue with bugs in the bed. This is intolerable, and the hotel’s response was inadequate and disappointing. The quality provided does not justify the cost. I have stayed at many onsen ryokans in Hakone and Izu, where the occasional insect might enter through the window, but the bedding has always been clean. Even at less expensive hotels, I've never experienced anything like this. It was extremely unpleasant. We couldn't rest or relax here. Even after the bedding was changed, insects occasionally appeared on the floor, and we spent the night worried they might crawl back into the futon. This is not the standard I expect from a luxury establishment like Yanagi no Sho. I am deeply disappointed. Telling someone that I had to call staff at midnight to deal with bed bugs would make it seem like I was staying at a roadside motel. The next morning, I voiced my complaints to the hotel’s general manager, who offered apologies but no substantial compensation. I recorded videos and took photos of the bugs on the bed. I won’t be returning and will advise my family and friends to avoid this place. Moreover, the onsen’s cleanliness was also a concern. The outdoor bath had leaves and insects floating in it, and the bottom was littered with dead bugs. I even took a photo of a large spider in the indoor rest area. Finally, the dinner was underwhelming and not worth the price. Despite hearing high praises about the food at Yanagi no Sho, the meals at other ryokans in Hakone and Ito, which cost half as much, were far superior. The only satisfactory aspect was the polite and attentive service from the dining staff. They were very courteous and meticulous in their service. The overall ambiance of the hotel was decent. I hope my unpleasant experience was an isolated incident.

Our room has a Mount Fuji view, which was great! However, the location of the hotel is situated on the hill, so May not be so convenient for travellers who don’t drive. Also, if you want to go to the public onsen within the hotel, you will have to take the shuttle bus, which is a bit inconvenient. However, overall this hotel is still a good choice!

We had the most wonderful time at Ochiairo! I came here for a birthday trip with my husband and best friend and we stayed in the spacious Aofuji room overlooking the river. The spatial arrangement offered more than enough space and privacy for 3 people and probably 2 couples or a family and kids. The white noise lulled us to sleep every night and it was simply magical. The international staff was so helpful to us. While we don’t speak Japanese, they did their best to understand and attend to us and it all worked out. They went above and beyond making my birthday feel very special. It was the small details that really mattered - ensuring that we had bikes and activities arranged the night before, coming to our room to teach me how to wear my yukata when I asked them to help, and even cleaning out and lovingly packaging some souvenir bento containers we arrived with when they saw them in our mini fridge! Everything about this place is just so beautiful. A few notes: - THE BATHS! When I tell you that I screamed when I saw the cave and private onsen in particular - just trust that they cannot be missed. - We are all tattooed - one of us significantly so. They have small tattoo covers but ask that you do cover them in the main bath areas (I only know this because I asked and they were incredibly polite about the advice) - We brought tattoo cover but in case you don’t want to bother, please take advantage of the absolutely stunning outdoor private baths - The food is great and eat dinner in sitting rooms upstairs (not served in your room) - You get unlimited drinks (alcoholic and otherwise) and snacks which was another pleasant surprise because they are so tasty! - The koi fish in the front swim up to you and follow you around with such enthusiasm. It’s as if they’re little pond puppies. The staff allowed us to feed them so if interested, please ask. - Don’t miss the swing next to the suspension bridge! - While I loved our room - please note that there is an abandoned hotel directly across the river from it. Kind of ruined the “I am communing with nature” vibes but it was fine in the long run. I could go on, but just trust that this place is just exceptional!

My family and I loved our experience at this onsen! The accommodations are first-rate and blend superbly a traditional japanese inn experience with modern comforts and luxury. The hot spring baths are all private and thoughtfully integrated into the rooms. It's incredibly relaxing to submerge yourself in one after a long day exploring the Izu peninsula! The service is impeccable and the staff are uniformly gracious and attentive. Finally, the food at the inn might have been the highlight! Breakfast and dinner are included and each is a high-class, multi-course meal. We were all amazed by how ornate, delicious, and varied the food was each time we sat down. Overall, we could not recommend this stay highly enough! It helped make our experience in Japan very special and one we'll cherish for many years.

We, me and wife stayed at their exclusive and independent cottage called “Suguro” for a night. In conclusion, the premises was superb in terms of accommodations, facilities AND of course sophisticated services. Very specious 180 sqm, 100 years old, but fully renovated consists of exterior private hot spring bath, a kind of steam sauna, bed room, living&kitchen, Japanese traditional Tatami mat room, study room, balcony with river stream, even with great sound audio system provide the most relaxing time in the nature. Fusion Italian with a sense of Japanese artistic additions with paired glacé of wine at main dinning was also incredible. The breakfast was authentic with local vege, fish and ingredients. I’ve been staying a bunch of lux hotels, however this was really one of tops!!
