“Great stay”

Ryokan we stayed at was newly renovated with private bathtub , huge and comfortable space.

“In the middle of nature”

The hotel is located in the heart of nature, making the stay an experiential and interesting one. The buildings are beautiful, and the onsens are excellent (5 hot pools + a great sauna + cold plunge pools). The beds are comfortable, and having a massage chair in the room was a very nice touch. The living area in the room was spacious and cozy, with a bamboo view and a lovely blend of the tatami area and the Western-style bed area. There is a variety of free snacks available throughout the day around the complex, which we couldn't enjoy because we are vegetarians.

Excellent location, experience, food and nature!

“Wonderful and great stay”

The room is comfortable and nice. The onsen are wonderful. Food is sumptuous and delicious. We had a great time

“Nice venue, but maybe a bit overpriced”

Great onsen!

“Standard rooms are comfortable.”

Score is not based on initial room rooming. We relocated to a standard room as Japanese room with Onsen was stained and required renovations. Other facilities such as restaurants, public Onsen had been renovated and in excellent condition. The standard room had some wear but was comfortable.

“Amazing amazing amazing!”

Amazing retreat, perfect little break when traveling busy Japan. The spa’s are amazing, the public baths are men and women separate but the private baths you can book for free. The restaurant is out of this world, it felt like true fine dining every night! We could chose Seafood shabu shabu or Japanese BBQ (we tried both on two separate days) and the amount, quality and service is just impecable! Highly highly recommend!

“Very good place to treat yourself”

Staying at Kira no sato is an experience I would recommend to anyone that wants to see what staying at an onsen is like. Among the onsens where we stayed this was the best. We stayed at in a house that is part of a sort of a village. It was a nice traditional Japanese house on 1st floor. It consists of a living room with table and chairs, a kitchenette with coffee machine (also for hot water), reading nook, bedroom with two spacious single beds, toilet, bathroom and private onsen (accessible through the bathroom, but in the open and surrounded by a fence for some priacy). The apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated and all amenities are provided. Nothing is out of place and everthing naturally ties in together. The onsen is excellent. It has a sauna and many pools both indoors and outdoors. The athmospere in the pool in the open is very serene and I even saw a squirrel climb up an down the trees while I was sitting in it. We got dinner and breafast. Dinner was excellent, served at the table after chosing the options that we fancied the most, and with several courses. Everything was delicios. Breakfast is also served at the table and one can choose between Western and Japanese breakfast. Both were excellent. Staff made sure that we were happy with everything, but at the same time they do everthing with natural elegance. Many thanks for the beautiful card from the village kids that we received as a gift! The location is ideal to visit Ito, Jogasaki coast and Mount Omouro. Unfortunately, I cannot rate Kira no sato more 10.

“I enjoyed this beautiful space very much”

Comfortable Beautiful

Everything was incredible... the food, the rooms, the atmosphere, and especially the Onsen! Very welcoming to foreign visitors too.

“Lovely stay with great onsen experience”

Interesting traditional environment. Useful shuttle service. Great onsen. Very welcoming staff and delicious meals.

“Good”

Everything is prefect except this is not easy to find the hotel if you drive a car to there.

“Comfortable”

Nice onsen

“Relaxing experience”

Very good dinner and also onsen facilities

“Wonderful”

Amazing magical place although old. Nevertheless very clean. Staff very nice and very helpful. Meals - AMAZING. Public onsen - AMAZING. 3 Private onsens - take the key and it’s yours for using, rather small but very good and clean. Hotel operates shuttle to and from train station so ask about it because walk from train station to hotel, although 15-20 minutes, all up the hill. Our room was the one with the private onsen - it’s smaller than in pictures but it’s enough for a couple and it’s nice experience. All in all - Great

“Expensive vacation.”

Staffs and driver were polite and foods were excellent.

“Our very expensive stays have good food and polite staff and driver.”

Our stay was good breakfast and dinner was excellent, staff and drivers was polite, place was like an old Japanese house style, I think it is too expensive for two days two rooms stays 4 adults and one 4 year old child I paid about ¥250,000 plus and mind you this is already discounted price it is too much. Anyway thanks for our very expensive experienced.

Dinner and breakfast where extremly good. The spa is clean and nice as well

“Dreamy ryokan in the middle of nature”

Absolutely loved my stay, from start to finish. I had high expectations as I treated myself to the half board for 1 night, and that was something I really wanted to experience while in Japan. I found others to be much more expensive, and the price at Kira No Sato was more so in my range - but really good value for money and didn't compromise on quality at all. First of all, it's easily accessible by train from Tokyo. You just need to do one change at Atami. Then, a shuttle picks you up from Izu Kogen, if you do time it right. Easy to find as well as they have a banner with the name of the ryokan. The staff is really hospitable, and they do speak good English. Great amenities. It's in some sort of village set-up, and super pleasant to stroll by. You basically wear the clothes the ryokan provide for you, and it's super comfy - with different sizes available. The room was great and of good size - you can admire the tranquil sea. Little snacks and coffee as a welcoming gift, great tea/coffee ware. Comfortable bed. You get a shower in the bathroom as you will enjoy the onsens anyways. re: the onsens, you get a really good variety of them. You get a few private ones you can lock, and these are amazing. But then, the public ones are amazing too - and really spacious, so you don't feel it's crowded at all. Food was really delicious and very filling - I had dinner and breakfast, you can choose between 2 options each time, and order drinks from the menu. The staff is very professional and reactive, they were able to communicate in English and explain the whole menu to me. Bonus: you get snacks during the day - and ramen for free in the evening, if you are still hungry! Highly recommend and will stay there again.

“Lovely ryokan. We miss it!”

I honestly did not really know what I was expecting before my arrival. But this place is a lot bigger than I thought! It's fantastic. I love the garden and the trees. It was fantastic to just wander around. Enjoy the snacks that are offered from time to time. We loved how friendly the staff were. Our little apartment was perfect for our stay. Loved the little tatami area in our place where we could enjoy our green tea. The breakfast was divine; I would definitely recommend the Japanese style breakfast over everything. The onsen was awesome. So relaxing. There are private baths as well. But I would not really recommend them.
