Ito Ocean View Hotels

"The hotel is a bit old, a common issue with older Japanese hotels. The front desk staff are all older folks, but their attitude is excellent. 1. Yukata, towels, and toiletries are all provided and free. The room has a bathtub, but for a hot spring bath, you need to go to a designated floor. It's great value for money, and the room is very spacious, making it cost-effective for multiple people. 2. The cleanliness is what you'd expect given its age; I went in with realistic expectations, as it's hard for old hotels to meet strict hygiene standards. 3. The location is excellent and convenient for transportation. It's very close to Ito Station, and you can take the first bus in the morning directly from the starting point to Mount Omuro. 4. The sea is right outside the window, so the view is fantastic! You can even watch the sunrise from your room."

"I've always wanted to visit Izu, and after seeing recommendations online 🤔, I decided to check out this guesthouse. And it certainly didn't disappoint! 🫵 The owner is from Xi'an. After booking, you can message him on WeChat or email him to let him know your estimated arrival time in Izu. 👌 He'll personally pick you up from the station, and if you want to visit other attractions, he'll also drive you if he's available, saving you travel time. The guesthouse itself is beautiful 👏🏻, with a strong artistic vibe thanks to all the decorations. The proprietress is very talented 👍, and every corner of the room is stunningly decorated. I also have to praise the owner's cooking! 👍 If you're craving Xi'an specialties, you can ask the owner to cook for you. You can order à la carte or choose a guesthouse meal package (a heads-up: there are no restaurants or supermarkets nearby) 😜. We booked breakfast and dinner (for breakfast, you can choose between Chinese or Western) ☺, and the owner's noodles are absolutely amazing 😋. If you want to try Xi'an noodles, you can ask the owner to cook them for you (he mentioned they mostly serve noodles for lunch) 👌. I usually don't have much of an appetite for breakfast, so the owner specially made me a big bowl of Qishan Saozi noodles 🍜. Oh my god 😋, the sour and spicy flavors immediately opened up my appetite! Thank you to the incredible owner for saving my Chinese stomach! 🙏 Oh, and in the evenings, the owner will also take you to nearby hot springs ♨. If you want to experience authentic local hot springs, you should definitely try it! ♨ The owners are very easygoing, and after two days, it felt like we were old friends. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Izu 🙂 and another taste of the owner's amazing Saozi noodles! 🍜"

"My friend and I stayed here for one night during our summer university vacation. While many accommodations offer purely functional service, I was truly touched by the warm hospitality of the staff here. What really stood out was the staff's personality. One particular staff member, fluent in both Japanese and Chinese, gave us recommendations for local restaurants and provided attentive service while maintaining a comfortable distance. The free shuttle service to Jogasaki Coast was also incredibly helpful. We enjoyed pleasant chats during the ride, and being able to save on bus fare and reallocate it to other sightseeing expenses was a huge bonus. Just a 10-second walk from the main building, the open-air bath, though compact, featured reclining baths and meticulously maintained plants. Combined with the night sky, it was a highly satisfying hot spring experience that perfectly soothed away our travel fatigue. I was amazed by the outstanding value for money, especially considering all these fantastic amenities for just 10,000 yen per room. This has definitely become one of my favorite places to stay, and I hope to visit again soon."

"🌊All the wonderful memories of this trip stem from this charming little hotel in Izu~ ✨The sunrise over the sea visible from the room; the sunlight streaming through the arched windows, turning the wallpaper a honey color; the little restaurant that seems straight out of a manga; the breakfast bathed in sunlight; the beautiful green view from the window at the end of the stairs; the quiet open-air hot spring; and the warm and thoughtful service from the host! Returning to Tomigo Station every day felt like coming home, and I was reluctant to leave~ I want to come back again! · 🌿Although it's a small hotel, during my stay, I could feel the host's efforts to provide thoughtful service: ▫️When researching Izu, everyone mentioned that local public transportation is inconvenient, with few services, requiring careful planning. This hotel solves this big problem by offering pick-up and drop-off services to nearby attractions (advance booking required, reasonable price, Chinese communication available), saving a lot of time! ▫️Mount Omuro, Kinosaki Coast, and the Cactus Zoo are all within a 10-minute drive~ The host has a fantastic list of recommended restaurants (I tried several and they were all delicious!), and can also provide reliable information on public transportation to the surrounding area. (The shuttle service from Futo Station is free twice, once during check-in and once during check-out!) · 🛎 What I want to praise most is the laundry service! In the morning, simply put your clothes in the laundry basket, and in the evening, the staff will bring the washed and dried clothes back to your room for only a 300 yen service fee each time! I'm so grateful!! No need to wait in front of the coin-operated washing machines; you can save time to go out and have fun, and when you come back, your clothes are clean!!! Thank you!! ▫️ Hot and cold drinking water is thoughtfully provided in the hallway common areas, so you don't need to go down to the restaurant to get water. ▫️ Eye masks, earplugs, and other small amenities are thoughtfully provided in the room. · ☕️ I really love the first-floor common area. The right side has a sun-drenched floor-to-ceiling window, and in late autumn, you can even see some red leaves. Sitting by the bed every day having breakfast (simple but delicious!) already puts me in a good mood. The back window of the restaurant bar on the left offers a view of green trees. They serve drinks and small bottles of wine in the evenings, and you can also order a hand-drip coffee in a pretty glass. Every day after my soak in the hot spring, I use the tables and chairs in the common area to organize my photos from the day. ▫️The open-air private hot spring can be booked for 50 minutes daily. The accompanying changing rooms and showers are very clean and tidy. I don't usually like hot springs, but it was so refreshing in the cool autumn air. From the small pool, you can see the maple trees and stars outside. · ☀️Our room had a white-framed arched window. After the lights were turned off at night, the moonlight shone through the semi-circular glass onto the roof. It sounds old-fashioned, but it was truly beautiful. In the morning, the window casts a honey-colored sunlight onto the beams, and you can sit up in bed and see the sunrise over the shimmering sea in the distance. You can brew a cup of hot tea and enjoy a peaceful morning in Izu on the small balcony. The only slight regret about this trip was not staying an extra day; we just stayed in the hotel, relaxing, drinking beverages, and looking at the sea from the balcony."

"Very cost-effective homestay, the room is very large, built on the high ground to see the sea view in the distance. The bathroom in the room is a traditional wooden bathtub, which is also a surprise. The boss is very good and drove me to the station after checking out. There are two bus stops nearby, except for the transportation from JR."

"First of all, the view is good and the location is great. And the food was very delicious and I was very satisfied. Since the bath is a private bath, I thought it would be a little troublesome to have to aim for the timing of being vacant, but since the number of rooms is small, it was okay to wait there. The open-air bath was very comfortable. The feeling of the inn was also very good and it was a fun stay. However, since it is basically for two people, the three girls were a little different."

"Cospa was able to stay well! There are many places to sightsee in the area. I enjoyed the rice in the morning and evening and the large communal bath with sauna, so I am very satisfied because it was this price. Breakfast can be enjoyed like a picnic in the garden outside."
