The property was extremely clean and the host was welcoming. The closest convenience store in Japan was closed and the host offered us a car ride to the next closest convenience store. Because of the number of bags we carried, he also gave us a ride to the train station after we checked out. We deeply appreciated these gestures since we had been walking quite a bit with our bags. The location is a nice getaway from the busy cities since you literally are next to the sea.

Really minor: the host forgot to provide towels in the room, but quickly had them available when asked.

This place is secluded! Not your typical night out in the city. I’d say the best perk is being so close to the outdoor onsen onset I the road. The host is also very nice! It’s a steep walk down from the train station so maybe contact him in advance and he can pick you up!

Not much in the area. (Almost nothing to do) The convenience store closes at 8 so stock up on snacks and beers before hand!

Ken is a wonderful host, very friendly and accommodating. The guesthouse is in traditional Japanese style with nice tatamis and sliding doors, and located right next to the ocean. The town has a convenience store, a nice seafood restaurant, an onsen, and the train station is just a 3 minute walk away with trains every 30 minutes. We liked it very much.

The support of the friendly staff, and the good location near the fishing port and hot springs, with bath and face towels, toothbrushes, and paper cups as amenities.

Because the hotel is in an old house, there were some concerns: the showers were fine, but there was not enough hot water to store hot water for the baths, and the facilities were showing their age, but overall, the hotel was kept clean, which was not a problem given the cost of the stay.

Good location like only five mins from train station to the hotel. Really convenient to travel to izu kogen or izu shimoda if you got a two day pass or three day pass. Close to the ocean so you can hear the waves all days

A little bit cold due to rainy weather but you can use an AC in the room.

The owners of the gutesthouse where super friendly, i felt like home there. They helped me with the planning of short trips around the peninsula, gave me a lot of tipps and answered all my questions. If i could, i would have stayed much longer! The village is very calm and peaceful, and with a short trainride you can go to all the other villages and places around the peninsula. I really enjoyed my stay here! Best guesthouse in japan!

The owners are amazing, they really care about you being comfortable. The area is super quiet, it’s a small and beautiful town. You can take a train (every 30minutes) to koghen or atagawa which has restaurants and a beach, it’s one stop from hokawa. I’d really recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep.

Nothing

The property is very clean and cozy. It’s also complete with facilities like hot shower and bath, fridge, hot water kettle, and so on. It is a guesthouse so I think the owner went above and beyond to make their customers comfortable. Also, the owner offers rides to restaurants and onsens nearby which makes stay even more convenient.

Nothing. We enjoyed our stay.

Its a good location for a quiet, relaxing holiday in a small town. We stayed over the weekend, its easy to take the train to other towns (although it doesnt go that frequently). The nearby Hokkawa onsen (Kurone iwaburo) has to be one of our favorite onsens we have visited, with the bath facing out to the sea, really recommend a visit!! The owner of the guesthous is very sweet and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. Will definitely come back!

Nothing!

It was close to train station and the sea. Facility was clean, and staffs were kind. If you need only bed to sleep with no special request, it might good for you. Wifi is available. Dormitory room is mixed but each bed has curtain, so you have your private space. Also there is fan, plug and lamp in the bed.

It was a bit small, there was no common area to work/read or chat with others. If you need a work space for your remote-work, it should be better to prefer other places.
