Absolutely loved our stay at Hanafubuki. We landed there after hiking the whole Jogasaki coast trail (one of trail exists is less then 10 min away from the ryokan) Located in a forest like setting the room had a balcony with most serene view. Staff was exceptional, attentive and so friendly. They spoke English well. We were able to schedule spa massage (for a fee) and it was so relaxing! The ryokan has many private onsen baths and you can try them all! No limits on how long you use one or how many times. Dinner was out of this world with abalone and tofu desert that became a highlight of our whole trip (note, menu is seasonal). The three options for the breakfast was a nice surprise, so we ended up getting 2 different options and sharing. I wish we stayed there longer. For the price, compared to other ryokans we stayed, this is a steal! Highly recommend.

Wish we stayed longer.

We loved the quiet, natural setting and the 24 hour access to private hot spring baths. The room was nice and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Proximity to the Izu-Kogen train station and the Jogasaki Coast hike was excellent.

The walls and floors are thin so we could hear people above us and next to us a little louder than we would have liked. The food, though very well presented, was subpar in quality compared to what we had experienced anywhere else in Japan, including other restaurants in Izu-Kogen.

The hot springs are phenomenal, so warm and gentle on the skin, very private and relaxing. As if that wasn't God enough on its own, the meals are so versatile, interesting, and delicious, similar to how and what you'd expect to experience in a michelin star restaurant. The staff is attentive and very kind, explaining things slowly, removing the language barrier, entirely, asking often for your preferences and your feedback, as well as providing maps and recommendations for things to do nearby. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

I didn't like leaving after only two nights. :)

My stay was nothing short of extraordinary. The tranquility and serene ambiance provided an unparalleled sense of peace, making it an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The surroundings were beautifully maintained, offering a picturesque setting that truly felt like a hidden paradise. The staff were exceptionally attentive and courteous, ensuring that every need was met with promptness and genuine hospitality. The accommodations were immaculate and thoughtfully designed, combining traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comforts. Every detail, from the soothing hot springs to the exquisite cuisine, contributed to an unforgettable experience. I was profoundly satisfied with every aspect of my stay and found myself repeatedly impressed by the quality of service and the serene environment. The accommadation is a haven of peace, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a rejuvenating and luxurious escape.

The hotel is beautiful with their own scenic walk. Staff are extremely friendly and lovely. Breakfast and dinner are exceptionally good. The private hot spring are lovely because you can enjoy different scenery from the bath house.

There is a bit of walk (about 10 min) from the train station. There is no shuttle and feels a bit short to get Uber. Since I am traveling for 3 weeks in the summer, the luggage and carrying it to the Ryokan was difficult. The room was a little small and difficult to move around when the bedding was set.

The breakfast and dinner included in the stay were phenomenal. The staff was so friendly and the grounds were beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. We loved the different natural onsens to try each day along with wearing our yukatas around the ryokan. There's an amazing suspension bridge and trail leading to it that's only a 10 minute walk from Hanafubuki. We also had massages in our room. We made amazing memories and will definitely be back!

The beds on the floor took some getting used to but it's all part of the experience and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Friendly Staff, excellent services. Each spring hot water is different giving you different feeling. Relax and confortable place to stay. Nice environment for the room that I stay. Nice food as well.

If you are a visitor who doesn't drvie, it may take a little time for you to get there if you choose to walk. So if the hotel can provide a courtesy pickup and dropoff from the station, it will be add more points to the place. After all, it will only take, if I remember correct, 3 mins to drive to the station, but take me 15 mins to walk there.

This is an exceptional ryokan, especially for foreign and single travelers. There is a wide range of excellent onsen, that were very calming. The food was quite good, and there were some unique dishes that were both creative and delicious. The staff was friendly, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

The outdoor baths were quite close to nature, and I found the local wildlife both calming and sometimes unexpected.

Our room was very pretty and the grounds are a treat to walk around. The gift shop is a gem! Meals were delicious, especially our first dinner. The second was also good but much less varied.

One of the nights we were there, there was a fairly rowdy group of guests. We were surprised by the noise after "quiet hours" given what we expected for onsen etiquette - maybe the inn could provide clearer guidelines for guests? Some of the onsen are also showing a little bit of wear. In our room, the toilet closet had a noticeable odor (not from of us!).

If you're seeking a tranquil getaway from the hustle and bustle of life, Hanafubuki is an excellent choice. Although it's slightly off the beaten path, a night or two here is a wonderful treat for yourself. The location is convenient and in close proximity to several natural wonders. You can take a leisurely fifteen-minute stroll to reach the sea, and the 24-hour hot springs on the premises are a great way to unwind. Additionally, the exceptional kitchen will provide you with everything you desire.

Getting to Hanafubuki may require a slight detour, but it is still easily accessible. It's best to view your stay here as part of a specific, planned itinerary visit rather than as part of a trip with several destinations.
