My husband and I stayed at Numazu Club Oct 2 - 3. We really enjoyed our stay in all respects. The architecture of the hotel and the hotel garden grounds were absolutely beautiful. The garden was a traditional Japanese garden perfect for taking a stroll. We also really enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The restaurant itself is located inside a historical Japanese tea house which being able to eat within was an experience onto itself. Also the food at the restaurant was a fusion of Japanese and Szechuan cuisine, which brought out the best of both cuisines. Finally, a shout out to the staff, especially general manager Imai-san, who really went out of their way to make our stay welcoming. Imai-san showed us a hidden path to the Senbonhama beach for awesome views of the ocean and Mt Fuji. Also after dinner our waiter kindly gave us a tour of the traditional Japanese tea house that the restaurant sits in. On a last note, our room was also really great. We stayed in a western style room on the second floor. The room was spacious and design was a mix of Japanese and western style with a large balcony overlooking the hotel grounds. Also the room itself was very well maintained and contained a full set of qualities amenities.

Nothing.

Numazu Club was well worth the drive to Numazu just to stay there. I would not think of it as a hotel, nor an onsen, but rather a getaway. The rooms were modern, minimalistic and no small detail was missed. Expect personal interactions with friendly and attentive staff, from being greeted at the gate (car) to being checked in privately in your room. In our case the manager checked us in, as well as coming to check on us and other guests during breakfast and dinner. The breakfast and dinner in the teahouse should not be missed. It was exquisitely prepared and a sensation for all senses, do note that it is Japanese and Chinese fusion. You will be welcomed by locally produced treats and drinks, and definitely ask for turn down service to experience more local products. Our open-air bath added to the already tranquil and quiet atmosphere and I could sit on the balcony soaking up the sun for hours. There is not that much to do around Numazu, but if you like feeling at peace you won’t leave the accommodation anyway. There is a fish market with multiple sushi restaurants less than a 15min walk away, which we enjoyed for lunch.

None of this bothered us, but it might be good to note. There was no TV in the room, we didn’t miss it at all and barely touched the iPad we brought along. If you’re used to onsen hotels, this is not that. The facilities were modern and well thought out, like a spa, with an indoor and outdoor onsen for woman and an outdoor onsen for men. But it is very small, and luckily when we used it respectively we were both the only people there, otherwise it might be a bit close for comfort. Considering that there are only a few rooms on the property each equipped with their own private onsen bath, this shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Very comfortable hotel with pleasant ambience. Lovely grounds.

Location of electric sockets for charging electrical items. We had requested if possible to prepare a vegetarian meal with just salads or other non meat items but were told this was not possible. Necessitated having to leave the hotel to find somewhere to eat. Would have expected a hotel of this standard to be more accomodating to a relatively easy request.

Super pretty both inside the room and the whole area of the accommodation. It felt quite hidden as there was quite the walk from the gate and then it was pure calm inside. Such an amazing place to wind down and would have wanted to stay longer if not for our travel schedule.

Overall the staff were friendly, however the upselling could be toned down a bit.

The ambience of the property is amazing. The staff was very professional and polite and made our stay very pleasant.

A little expensive
