Hotels With Pools in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

This was the hotel I was most looking forward to on this trip, and we stayed for two nights. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. During the summer, it cost over 7,000 yen, including breakfast for two. The room was a bit small (the bath towel was on the bed because there was no other place to put it). It didn't have a balcony, and I regretted not booking a room with one (though it would have been even more expensive). The hotel is good for relaxing, but transportation is truly inconvenient. Especially on the last night, waiting for a taxi from Shimoda Port was maddening. And that evening (Saturday), we couldn't find any restaurants around Shimoda Port that didn't require reservations; most were closed. We almost went hungry! The various paid experiences at the hotel were quite good; we tried sea fishing and night viewing of fireflies, both of which required a taxi to Shimoda Port. The nearby aquarium is also worth a visit. The outdoor pool, which closes at 6 PM, we didn't even get to use. The service at resort hotels is generally good, but at this summer price, it really isn't good value for money. The nearby beach is very small (see last picture). It didn't look suitable for swimming, so although this hotel is close to the sea, it's only good for viewing it, not the kind of resort I imagined where you could stroll on the beach and swim in the sea directly. The path from the hotel to the pool is beautiful, and there are designated times and places for setting off fireworks; thankfully, there were hot springs to help us unwind.

The sea view is unbeatable, and it's a 5-6 minute walk from the station. They offer a shuttle service to the station upon checkout, by appointment. A centipede ran into my room... but they changed my room when I requested it, which was fine. I stayed for three days, and the breakfast was decent. The service was typical Japanese, meaning you couldn't really find any fault with it. The biggest surprise was on the day of checkout: there was a huge typhoon in Izu, all trains were stopped. While we were feeling helpless at the station, a hotel front desk staff member arrived! They told us that because we had previously booked a shuttle, they were taking us to the larger Izu-Kogen station! I was so touched! That's truly Japanese service, solving an urgent problem! Overall, it was really good!

I decided to make a reservation on a whim, and although it seemed like they had trouble getting a reservation, the front desk staff were very kind and I was able to stay there without any problems. There was a wide selection of drinks and snacks in the lounge, including local products, which was great. The rooms were also very clean and well-maintained, and the views were great. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I have the opportunity.

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.

Very good experience of staying one night of this hotel.We are very happy and satisfied. Especially the foods we eat at dinner in the sushi restaurant was very delicious and also their breakfast buffet must try the best foods that they served was very delicious too.

If you plan to stay in this area, you’ll need your own transport, like a rental car. The breakfast buffet has lots of tasty options and comes with a nice sea view in the morning. The private onsen costs JPY 3,500 per hour, and the experience was excellent. The front desk staff are very polite and friendly. Many local Japanese people choose this hotel for their vacations.

The hotel appears to be quite historic, and the facilities are somewhat dated. However, the traditional Japanese style makes it quite acceptable. Overall, it was quite clean. Shoes must be removed upon entering the hotel, and shoes are not worn throughout the hotel. The room was not small and had a sea view, though the lack of a beachfront location was a slight drawback. The hotel service was quite good, with staff who spoke Chinese. There was a welcome ceremony on check-in day, which provided a clear overview of the hotel's amenities. The meals provided with a one-night stay and two meals were plentiful and not unpalatable.

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!

Dinner was delicious, with sashimi and fish in general. There was so much I couldn't finish it, with rice cooked in a pot, sushi and tempura. Also, since it was all-inclusive, there were drinks and snacks everywhere, which was nice. I was able to go to the baths empty-handed and there was no inconvenience.

This hotel boasts stunning views. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and you can soak in the hot spring bath while enjoying direct views of Mount Fuji. I'll definitely be staying longer on my next visit! A complimentary shuttle service to the hotel is a huge plus, and the overall environment is truly wonderful. The only minor drawback is that dining options aren't very convenient.
