“Disappointing onsen in a nice property”

Nice traditional home at a beautiful location.

“To be Avoided- EXPENSIVE - A éviter”

Nothing

“Absolutely stunning experience visiting the area”

Staff were so welcoming and hospitable and the room and venue is incredibly unique and a beautiful experience. Location would be a great idea for a quick trip to get away from the cities.

The staff were so kind to forward the hat we accidentally left behind. Thank you so much. All the responses on Booking.com messages were fast and efficient.

“Fantastic”

This was a very stylish and comfortable apartment. I loved the decor and all of the atention to detail. It was so nice having breakfast overlooking the courtyard. It is also well connected for exploring Izu and has a frequent bus service. I would highly recommend.

“Worst accommodation we've stayed at”

Nothing good to say about this accommodation. No staff on site. Couldn't check ourselves in on their notebook as my passport was mistakenly sent in my suitcase to our next location and their system wouldn't accept my husband's name even though both names were in our booking.

“Great and beyond expectations!”

Great location and great view! Onsen is nice! Quite place. Actually we didn’t expect much from the pictures and vague information on booking, but room itself was very good!

“Lovely cozy stay in Shuzenji”

This is a really beautiful place renovated with a lot of taste and attention to detail, conveniently located on a cozy little square. The room had everything I needed and my stay was very relaxing. The owner was so kind to greet me and give good restaurant recommendations. Highly recommended

Great location and very friendly host. Very comfortable and equipped with a bath that draws water from a hot spring.

“Thank you for such a lovely holiday!”

The location is fantastic, with many amenities and local shops, cafes, bars etc. there is even a restaurant, coffee shop and vintage kimono shop on site. The accommodation was clean and quiet and comfortable, and the host was very friendly and welcoming. It was a fantastic stay!

Nicely renovated, good architectural details, great little bath with hot spring water.

It was a great stay, beautiful location surrounded by nature.If you want to enjoy a stay in a traditional japanese house this is the go to place.The owners are very nice and would gladly provide local guidance.

“Very satisfied with my stay”

- The host is very accomodating. He helped us carry our luggage when we arrived and was ready to help us with anything we needed during our stay. - The room is larger than it looks in the pictures, we had more than enough space for all our luggage. - The accomodation is located right outside a beautiful shrine with a nice hiking path behind it. - The Shuzenji temple, Hie shrine, Bamboo forest path and 仰空楼 observation deck are all within walking distance. - The futons are extremely comfortable. - The onsen bath is very refreshing, just make sure it doesn't get too hot!

“Charming, quiet getaway”

The place gives you a chance to try the traditional way of living without the pomposity and the expensiveness of a ryokan. Lovely stylish room, and everything you need is there for your comfort. The windows overlook a grove and a shrine that look amazing at night, as the lamps light up. The fridge was stocked with complimentary water bottles, and there were traditional robes in the wardrobe for inside wearing. We didn’t have to interact with staff, and the whole place seemed very relaxed, calm, and quiet. The only minor inconvenience is that there’s no daily cleaning, so the trash can fills up by day 3 or 4. A few dusty spots here and there, which is understandable, given how hard it is to maintain tatami floors.

“Through the looking glass into an old/new ryokan”

It’s a truly unique place, so creative and designed with love. All sorts of vintage and modern pieces brought together in ryokan style but it also feels a little like staying in a magical tree house. Our room was up an Alice in Wonderland spiral staircase imported from France, and it had its own hot spring bath tub. We were happy to meet Ando and his wife, who helped us checkin and find everything. All the restaurants he recommended were delicious and friendly.

“Unique "ruin you can stay in" concept for a comfortable stay in Shuzenji”

We loved the cleverly renovated room in the half-ruined former ryokan building -- a very interesting concept. Self check-in was easy and we found the room to be as described and very comfortable. Nice to have water straight from the onsen to fill the bathtub. Great location in the heart of Shuzenji.

“Picture perfect”

The most adorable place right in the middle of the idyllic Izu. Besides aesthetics, the accommodation was comfortable and the owner was always ready to hell. I can't wait to go there again next time!

“Good location, and a helpful owner. I'd love to stay here again.”

The location was great, located very close to Shuzenji bamboo forest. The self checkin process would take a little time to get used to but it skips the hassle of checkin times and makes the process streamlined. The exterior and interior of the rooms were both very pleasing, and the interior was very spacious.
