Hot spring Hotels in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

It is what you can expect from a Dormy Inn : lots of freebies, a comfortable room and a bathhouse area with the bonus point of having a good Mount Fuji view especially if you get the rooms facing the right side. The hotel's clearly geared for people who drive, there is two main carpark areas but it can get filled up quite quickly during peak holiday periods. The breakfast was sumptuous and excellent as expected from a Dormy Inn. There is a nice late night soba service and popsicles in the evening. Location wise, it is only a short drive away from the Gotemba Premium Outlets and some local sights. It is located next to Chichibunomiya Memorial Park with a former villa. The hotel is also pretty new.

This was probably the best experience i had during my visit to Japan. The ryokan feels authentic yet luxurious, the service id amazing. The personnel speaks english very well. The room was just what we wanted, very spacious, tatami floors, a balcony with a city view. We even had a little bath that you could fill with water from the hot spring. The dinner was exquisite, very authentic and delicious. The breakfast was just as good, although the amount of fish dishes might be a little overwhelming for foreigners. The best part though was obviously the onsen. The cable car that takes you to the onsen really added to the experience. We had the chance to go in the evening and in the morning. Both times there were no other people. It was raining in the morning and i definitely recommend going to the onsen while it rains if you get the chance. After checking out we were offered a ride to the station by the owner, and we had a nice chat on the way. So i absolutely recommend this ryokan, i wish we stayed longer

The room is quite big, divided into a sleeping area (Western style) and a leisure area (Japanese style), very cost-effective, it was dinner time when we arrived at the hotel, the hotel has wagyu bento to choose from (there is also a restaurant), very good, the room faces the sea, you can enjoy the sea view in the morning, there is a hotel shuttle bus to the JR station

What an intensely beautiful and comfortable hotel to stay at. Mount fuji view room type is a definitely must choose. Perfectly clean and great amenities. For those who rent a car to travel within mount fuji, this place is a must stay.

Dear Mars Gardenwood Gotemba Team, I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service we received during our stay at your hotel from the 6th to the 7th of February. Due to unexpected snowstorm warnings, our travel plans were disrupted as all express and hill roads were blocked. In this challenging situation, the warmth of your welcome and the assistance we received in inquiring about Toyota Rent a Car were truly remarkable. I must extend special gratitude to a staff member (whose name unfortunately escapes me) for their unwavering patience and detailed explanations, providing us with the assistance we needed during these trying circumstances. This experience has left a lasting impression on us, and we wanted to convey our deepest thanks for the exceptional service received, particularly from the staff member whose name, regrettably, slipped my mind. Thank you once again for turning a challenging situation into a positive and memorable experience. We look forward to the opportunity to stay at Mars Gardenwood Gotemba in the future.

The hotel has a strong sense of design and is very clean. The hot springs are comfortable and the breakfast is highly recommended. There are freshly grilled fish and golden eagle fish fillets in water. Each person has two slices, which are very tender. Of course, you can get them as many times as you want. The accommodation, hot springs, and breakfast are all good. But there are no coins. I didn't drink milk after the hot spring. It doesn't accept 1,000 yen coins (no banknotes at the entrance). I forgot to take a picture of the door before leaving.

I suppose the charm of Atami is that the whole area is a little bit 'dated' as far as a resort goes, and this hotel definitely aligns with that - it seems like a place that was once great and is now kind of just rolling along bringing in what money it can. The food is serviceable but totally uninspired - an upscale cafeteria masquerading as something better than it is with 'chefs' wearing their whites. The entire dining room constantly smells of fryer oil from the tempura - which they still make and keep stock of in such large quantities that it is never fresh and crispy anyways (especially the shrimp, which has not been sufficiently dried before battering). The remaining hot dishes are very disappointing both in terms of variety and overall flavor. The sushi and sashimi is the standout of the food, although it too is very basic - not anything that will blow your mind, but acceptably tasty and reasonably fresh (although on our second night everything tasted a bit soapy/bleachy). As a westerner you will be very disappointed by the breakfast, although that's a 'me' problem rather than a hotel problem per se. The spa facilities are nice but a bit dated - be careful in your selection of both time and location unless you want to be surrounded with many loud (mostly Chinese) children. Private spas are available and are quite nice, although again dated. Nonetheless at around 60 USD for an hour the price is good for the privacy, especially as a westerner who is otherwise subject to quite a bit of staring at this mostly local and Chinese spa. We stayed in a deluxe king room, which was spacious with an enormous and comfortable bed, and a (For japan) reasonably sized tub. Room and desk service was good. The hotel is a bit off the beaten path but has regular free shuttles to/from Atami station, which is where the main tourist streets for shopping etc can be found. Highly suggest checking out Golden Eye for some excellent Ramen.

Facilities: The room is very cute, but the only drawback is that there is no hot water in the faucet, the balcony is a bit cold without tatami, and the toothbrush is too hard to use. There is no open-air free hot spring, but there is a free private hot spring. Izu Onsen is very comfortable. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: 400 meters away from the station, 5 minutes walk, there are 711, McDonald's, barbecue restaurants next to it, and there are several specialty local fish restaurants next to the station, which is very convenient for eating. It is convenient to take the bus to Cactus Park. Service: The front desk is full of grandparents, and their attitudes are very friendly. The front desk is 200 yen cheaper to buy tickets for Cactus Park.

Stayed at this hotel for one night just for the view of mt fuji, did not use too much of the amenities. Travelled to gotemba premium outlets but it’s a bit troublesome to get back to the hotel, quite difficult to get a taxi - had to go to jr gotemba station and took a while before we managed to get back. Location is a bit far out and very few trips for the free shuttle bus. The cleanliness of the room is just alright, a bit of mould but it’s okay.

Hotel is about 15 to 20 mins walk from Kawazu train station, no worries as they provide free shuttle service to and fro hotel and Kawazu station, however do take note of timetable. Room was big and view was fantastic as facing the sea, breakfast was sumptuous too especially the miso soup and raddish and beef stew. We came here for Sakura but in view of cold snap blooming season was delayed this year, Kawazu town can be boring as most shop including restaurant closed after 5pm. We were also told that there is no taxi available after 5pm. Overall stay was great including onsen, will definitely book again if I am back in Kawazu.

Very good experience, the check-in process is relatively simple. The room is very clean, the overall facilities look very new, the room faces the sea, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the Atami Bay from a distance when you get up, very comfortable. The beverage bar on the first floor will be replenished in time, and there are actually staff to help solve any problems. The bathhouse on B1 is not crowded, and it is also very clean. It is very comfortable to take a bath after a day of fun. There is a rooftop on the top floor where you can lie on the net bed to watch the stars. There is even a party room, children's books and office cubicles on the second floor, which is really thoughtful.

The hotel was great, wonderful service, good food, nice staff overall, however, Fuua spa was a bit disappoint with no extra towels to use. I would suggest to bring a bottle of drinking water or you would have to purchase. We stayed in the mountain side because it was cheaper but the ocean view would be great. You can see ropeway going up and down on the mountain side. Bus runs for free between the station and the hotel every 20 minutes or so. No reservation needed. It’s right in front of McDonalds at the station. Bus is not large. I would suggest to get there a bit early if you want to sit with your company together. You have a half off ropeway discount in the card you get at the check in counter so don’t throw it away after check out the hotel :)

The staff noticed our behavior and spoke to us before we arrived, so we were able to spend our time from check-in to check-out feeling fulfilled. The room was clean and had a nice ocean view, and all the drinks in the fridge were free, and the mandarin orange juice was delicious. The open-air bath was infinity, in a spectacular location, and the temperature was perfect. The freshly made omelettes at the breakfast buffet were soft and delicious. I would definitely like to return as a treat.

The bathroom is surprisingly clean. The location is good and not far from JR, but there is a slope. There is only one bathroom. The boys' bathing time is too short. They will not have enough time to take a bath after returning from the fireworks festival. Basic toiletries, disinfectants, etc. are all provided. Anyway, there are many charged items, so it’s best to bring your own. Breakfast is a bowl of Ochazuke rice with an egg. The self-service option includes dishwashing. If you don’t have any requirements for breakfast, you can consider it.

A more traditional Japanese hot spring hotel, with good service, a warm atmosphere, and good English at the front desk. However, the facilities are relatively old, and the dinner is mediocre, but the portions are quite large, so you don't have to worry about not eating enough. Another big advantage is that it is very close to the station. If you are with your family and luggage, you can walk to the hotel in two minutes after exiting the station.

The host couple were wonderful, accommodative and helpful, as mentioned in many reviews. Although a little confusing to locate initially, it is actually quite accessible to the shopping and restaurant areas. We love the spaciousness and layout of the room. The Hinoki bath was a star feature for us. We will definitely want to visit again. Thank you to the special hosts🙏🏼

A very comfortable experience~ The whole family had a very happy stay~ The room is relatively large, there are three futons on the tatami, two beds on the balcony, and the toilet and bathroom entrance are also very spacious. Living on the 6th floor, the balcony can see the open-air swimming pool and the sea not far away. The welcoming cakes and senbei are very delicious~ Yukata and toiletries are available in the lobby on the first floor. There are four major categories of public baths. The Roman bath is the largest (with a sauna and a cold water pool) and the flower bath is also relatively spacious (also with a sauna and a cold water pool). The open-air bath on the top floor is relatively small, and it is not easy to soak with many people. Then there are several family baths, which are first-come, first-served, and queued. All baths are included in the room rate, and you can soak in them all, which is still very fun. The breakfast is very complete and delicious~ It feels so grand with one or two hundred people dining at the same time~ There are Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk who will tell you a lot of details, which is very considerate The hotel also has a shuttle bus. It is recommended to confirm the time and shuttle point in advance. If you miss it, you can take the bus, which is also very convenient It just feels like the gate is like an iron fence, and it is relatively old. It can be renovated~

It has a shared toilet and a Japanese-style room, and you have to make your own bed. It has the flavor of local travel in Japan! You can watch Atami Beach and the sunrise from the rooftop terrace, which is beautiful. It is very inconvenient to carry luggage up and down the mountain. It is recommended to take a taxi, but it is not far from the beach and shopping street, but the entire Atami is on a slope. If you know how to use it, checking in without anyone is actually quite convenient.

This was probably the best experience i had during my visit to Japan. The ryokan feels authentic yet luxurious, the service id amazing. The personnel speaks english very well.

Facilities: The room is very cute, but the only drawback is that there is no hot water in the faucet, the balcony is a bit cold without tatami, and the toothbrush is too hard to use. There is no open-air free hot spring, but there is a free private hot spring. Izu Onsen is very comfortable. Hygiene: Clean and tidy.

The front desk is 200 yen cheaper to buy tickets for Cactus Park.

The room is an apartment-style suite, including 2 bedrooms, 1 living room with kitchen and dining table. It is very spacious and comfortable. Both the living room and bedroom have beautiful views of Izu Plateau and the sea. However, there is a kitchen but no kitchenware. I only used the microwave to heat milk during my stay. The hotel is on the mountain, about 800 meters away from the nearest bus stop. There are few buses. The hotel provides scheduled free shuttle service to and from Izu Plateau Station, but the hotel shuttle bus needs to be booked by phone one day in advance. The hotel's hot spring pool is good, where you can soak in the hot spring and enjoy the sea view. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, and the nearest convenience store is about 1.7 kilometers away.

Compared to a hotel, this place is more like a cozy hot spring village. Friendly staff in uniforms enthusiastically serve guests. Put on the work clothes prepared by the hotel and step on wooden clogs, and become like the villagers here, carrying a small bamboo basket to soak in the hot springs. The hotel also provides shuttle buses to the station. The place is spacious and clean. Japanese and Western breakfasts are available. Dinner offers barbecue and seafood. The ingredients are fresh and good! After five o'clock, free roasted sweet potatoes will be distributed inside, and at ten o'clock, free soy sauce ramen will be distributed. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and you can see a large starry sky when you look up at night.

Friendly service, delicious breakfast and dinner! The hotel has a shuttle bus at Izu Kogen Station. The lobby faces the sea view, which is spectacular and beautiful, and the room also has a sea view. The hot spring is clean and comfortable. Recommended to stay!

After getting off the bus at Izu Kogen, take the escalator and the South Square is the hotel's shuttle bus point (not the North Square with foot bath). It is available from morning to night, with a bus every 40 minutes. It is very convenient without reservation. The sea view room is large and the balcony view is very good. The view of the pool on the third floor of the main building is at the same angle as the room balcony. Guests can also go to the day-return hot spring, where the view of the pool is wider. The buffet breakfast is very rich, with sashimi and tempura as you like. Dinner is a relatively simple dish served one by one. The main dish can only be tea rice/cold noodles. Boys with a big appetite will not be enough. It takes a long time to add more rice. Check-out at 11 o'clock and the all-day shuttle bus add points, which is convenient for taking a bus from Izu Kogen to Omuroyama/Cactus Zoo/Jokosaki Coast.

The hotel is very Japanese, the environment is great, there are many varieties of yukatas, you can pick them up at the front desk every day, the room is tatami, but there is no bed-making service (it may be that we have communication problems and the other party can't understand), the bento breakfast is also very rich, the best thing is that there is cocoa milk and original milk at the entrance of the hot spring, 200 yen a bottle is super delicious 😁😁😁The restaurants around the hotel are small but delicious, the hotel is less than ten minutes away from the station, very convenient, and very cost-effective

The price-performance ratio is very high. The room I booked is a mountain view room, but you can actually see a little bit of the sea from the window, and the scenery is very beautiful. The transportation is a little inconvenient, basically you can only rely on taking a taxi or making an appointment with the boss for pick-up. There are no restaurants nearby and the hotel does not provide catering. It is best to eat outside after playing in the afternoon and then come back or buy it and bring it back to eat. There is a vending machine at the door to buy water, but sometimes mineral water is out of stock. The room is very clean, but after all, it is in the mountains, and occasionally one or two small insects will enter. The staff are very polite and the service is very good. Please note that you can only check in after 3 pm. If you come early, you can put your luggage down and play around before coming back. There are many cats in the store, all of which are very cute. Overall, it is still a good experience. If I have the opportunity to go to Izu again, I will consider staying here again😊

Very nice hotel, the boss will pick us up at the station and take us to Mount Omuro! The pick-up service is great because we are unfamiliar with the place🤣 The hotel environment is also good, the surrounding area is also very lively, and it is very convenient to eat and supermarket! Izu Kogen Station is also a big station on the Izu Express, and it is very convenient to pass the golden eye and black ship! The hotel also has a hot spring♨️, and it is so happy to soak in it and drink a beer every night😁 The downside is that the room we were given this time is a little small, and it’s a bit crowded for two people!

It is what you can expect from a Dormy Inn : lots of freebies, a comfortable room and a bathhouse area with the bonus point of having a good Mount Fuji view especially if you get the rooms facing the right side.

The hotel is not big, but very convenient! Since the rooms provided by the hotel have a strong smell of smoke, the hotel upgraded to a mountain view room with a view of Mount Fuji for free! Superb 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We had a really great experience at this hotel. There is a shuttle bus near the hotel that takes you to and from the JR Gotemba station and the Gotemba Premium Outlets. The room is really big for a Japanese hotel, and you even have a jacuzzi/hot spring bath in your own room! As for breakfast, it is buffet style with a good selection. The food is also delicious! The best part of all is still the service they provide. At the Fuji Outlet Hot Spring Hotel, they really go out of the way to serve their guests. We had 2 suitcases stored in the hotel when we checked out and went shopping at the outlets. We went back to the hotel to pick up our suitcases at around 19:20 and intended to take a taxi to the JR Gotemba station to catch a train back to Tokyo station. The front desk staff helped us call a taxi but no taxi would take the order because there was a bad traffic jam. It was on 3rd January 2025, a public holiday, and there were many cars heading for the outlets. Upon knowing our dilemma, I think it was the hotel owner, instructed a staff who just got off duty to drive us to the station. He even checked the train schedule for us! They refused to accept when we offered payment for the ride. Overall, the service was superb and I will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. They have front office staff who speaks either fluent English or Chinese. We wish to thank the owner and his staff for such great service and will definitely stay in this hotel again if we were back in Gotemba.

Very good. I will choose to stay here again next time. The hotel is relatively new and clean. The front desk service is very good. There is a large supermarket and Uniqlo across the road. There are McDonald's and delicious shops nearby.
