The snorkeling area is nice as it's an enclosed area surrounded mostly by rocks. You need to get quite a bit out to be deep enough to swim. You will definitely need some shoes for the water as there's sea urchins and sharp rocks that I would not suggest walking barefoot on. Once you're further out though, the water and marine life is really nice. Biggest negative is how crowded it is and having to arrive super early in the morning for parking. Most cars started waiting as early as 3am to get a parking spot. Then there's a lot of waiting until the boats start running at 8am with a huge queue of people waiting to board it. After arriving at the beach, everyone sets up their massive tents so it's a bit of a pain to walk and get around the rocks.

Hirizo beach is a very nice “beach”, just made out of only rocks everywhere, very small and so easily crowded. The view is very nice and snorkeling activity is ok, but too many staffs yelling at you not to swim here or there . Include also 2000¥ boat trip for one person and 2 min transportation to the beach.

Probably the best spot for snorkeling around Kanto area. However, you need to get to the port really early like 5am to get a parking lot and put your stuff to secure your spot in a line for a boat. Also, there will be so many people in a small area. A sand area is very limited. Other space is stones and rocks. You must take your chairs and/or air mat. Japanese people like to stay in tents so they’ll block your view.

That's incredible that you can find such a tropical place so relatively close to Tokyo. Arrived at Nakagi Port you can purchase for 1500 yen (as of 2018) a return transfer ticket, and boats are linking the bay every 5 minutes. However, beware the crowd of midsummer weekends. If possible go a little off season (like in mid September) and on a weekday.

Secluded little beach with a small cove for snorkeling. Lots of fish and coral. The beach is very small and can get crowded. It's made of rocks so foot protection is a necessity! Unless you bring folding chairs don't expect to lounge comfortably either. There are no facilities but the boat to the harbour goes every 10 minutes orso. Recommended if you're in the area and a little out of season!

Izu, shizuoka is really a good location during burning summer, crystal clear water and many more locations which will amaze you, there is a Cape aiai famous location for taking pair photos, sea and mountains of beautiful colours.

One of the best area for snorkeling in Kanno area.. There are very clear water and tropical fishes. Boat access only from Nakagi. Boat fee is 1500yen/person, parking 1000yen/vehicle. Once you paid boat fee, You can take boat many times for toilet, food... Because beach don't have anything. It takes 5min from Port to beach.

Pretty nice attraction. It’s a small setting but in a gorgeous spot inside of a natural alcove. We were lucky to visit during off season. Still, there were plenty of opportunities for up close encounters with the lovely marine animals who all seem very well cared for and protected. An English guide (brochure) is provided. All shows are in Japanese only, but animal expression requires no translation! The animals here are happy and made us happy.

It's okay. It needs a serious cash injection to bring it up to more modern standards. There is a lot of rust on the floating walkways. It's a bit on the smaller side. I think you could spend about 3 to 4 hours there max but anything more than that and you really have to be a sea animal lover. The dolphin and sea lion shows are fun but a bit short. The penguin march was a bit overrated a lot of people gathered around to watch it but let's face it penguins our penguins. If you have young kids I think they will enjoy this park but if you're just a couple of adults I think you should go elsewhere.

A nice regional aquarium famous for its dolphin show, the show lasts about 10 minutes you can pay more for premium seating in the water! It's not huge but decent for Japan standards.

Small aquarium, the dolphin show was great, there are special places to watch, you need to book in advance. And there is also the opportunity to swim with dolphins, you also need to book in advance. I recommend it, you can also have lunch here and have a good time!

Great small aquarium with plenty of free shows. Go in the morning and they line up back to back nicely. Even if you don't speak Japanese the enthusiasm from the trainers and animals is a joy to experience. Even the 3 dolphins had a clear preference for different tricks (spins, flips, posing) - very cute.

Awful place that should not be open at all, they keep animals in the worse conditions and have no conservation purpose. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO PLACES LIKE. It's so sad. We came across the place while on a walk and saw the dolphins in small enclosure and two turtles by the entrance in a tank as big as my bathtub. SHAME ON YOU!

Two adult turtles going around in a circle in a tile tub. Just sad. This alone made me not want to enter. They need more space and to be in proper environment. This felt like I was in North Korea and not Japan.

It's a good beach with sable rocks. The water is relatively clear and quite clean. I would recommend this to families that are exploring the area! If the boats are not working for Hirizo, this beach is a perfect substitute. For camping I recommend the one in Iruma beach, just 10 min away by car.

If you like clean ocean, a very quiet and tranquile atmosphere, this is the place for a quick stop. I usually love to visit small towns in countryside, but this particular place was the most memorable.

Really nice for snorkeling. Free.

(Translated by Google) I went on a tour for the first time in a while! Although it's October, it's still hot, but it's off-season. However, since it is located at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula, the sea water is clean and it is a quiet and relaxing place. (Original) 久しぶりにツーリングで来てみた！10月だけどまだまだ暑いがシーズンオフ状態。　ただ伊豆半島南端地だけに海水は綺麗だし　静かで落ち着く場所です。

(Translated by Google) I can't go now. There is a sign warning of falling rocks, and at the same time there is a large fence. I guess there are a lot of people who go without permission. There was a columnar joint on the way and I was aiming for that, but I had to settle for seeing it from a distance. (Original) 現在、いくことができません。落石注意の看板があると同時に、大きな柵があります。無断で行く人が多いんだろうね。途中に柱状節理があってそちらが目当てだったのですが、遠くからで我慢しました。

(Translated by Google) I went in April. It's about a 4-5 minute walk along the promenade. The water around the promenade was also very clear, and we could see puffer fish and other fish swimming around. You can also enjoy the promenade itself. When you get to the beach, it's a little difficult to walk because there are a lot of rocks, but the water is very clear. I want to come again in the summer (Original) 4月に行きました。 遊歩道を4〜5分ほど歩いた先にあります。 遊歩道の周りも透明度が高く、フグや他の魚が泳いでいるのが見えました。 遊歩道自体も楽しめます。 浜に着くと、石がゴロゴロしているので若干歩きにくいですが、やはりとにかく水の透明度が高い。 夏にまた来たいです

(Translated by Google) Visited on 20190103AM. We were blessed with good weather and were able to relax. The sea is highly transparent and the breakwater is safe to walk on during the day. There is a parking lot (charges apply depending on the season), and the restrooms are clean and tidy. (Original) 20190103AM訪問。天候にも恵まれのんびり出来ました。海は透明度高く、防波堤も昼間は歩いてもいいようです。駐車場あり(季節によっては有料)、トイレも清掃されて綺麗です。

A very nice beach for surfers and to chill. At the time we went it was spring, so a lot of algae was mixed with the sand. The cliffs are also beautiful together with the beach and sea.

The Benzaiten Cape (弁財天岬) forms a natural barrier to large waves coming into the cove during a storm surge or typhoon, which has resulted in a cove that has a lovely beige-sand beach. Access to this cove is easiest if you can drive, which is approximately a 3-hour 30-minute drive from Tokyo. The cove is also accessible from Izukyo-Shimoda Station from where you can take a 45-minute bus ride and then take a 26-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. Despite the fishing industry working offshore of this beach, the beach itself and the waters are quite clean and free of any debris from the fishermen (or most any non-organic debris). Not all Japanese beaches are as nice, but I was impressed with how this particular community seems to have been able to strike a balance with the needs of industry, recreation, and tourism. Parking is available for free if you arrive early, public restrooms are available, and the beach was very nice on a par with Shirahama Beach. Compared to beaches in the Shonan area, Yumigahama Cove beach is much nicer! Check out the videos of Yumigahama Cove at the @pix4japan YouTube channel.

A very relaxing beach and far less crowded than Shirahama. It's beautiful in the afternoon abd becomes tranquil at sunset. Nothing to dislike.

Amazing beach. The sand was super soft and the water nice and warm. A lot less crowded compared to many other beaches, but is significantly harder to get to as you either need to drive to take a bus from the closest station at Shimoda.

Great spot with free parking in front of the beach! Toilets available but no open restaurants nearby.

We were on this beach in August 2019. Dirty beach and water, a lot of algae, very hot sand, it's easy to burn your feet.

amazing beach ☀️😎😁

There is a large paid parking lot - cost about 500 yen to stop there. 10 min walk to the lighthouse and shrine. There is a small cafe, gift shop and eating area at the entrance.

Good place for those who enjoy walking near the cliff or seeing the ocean scenery from the lighthouse. The place is open from 9am - 4pm. You will also find the 1st shrine build at cliff since 701Ad and the 2nd shrine that was build in 1903. You may get a charm from the shrine from 300yen onwards. The wind is pretty strong at the cliff so do take care while walking around it. The welcome centre have a cafeteria whine serve lunch and snack and a gift shop for you to buy souvenir from the park. You may travel to this location by purchasing a tokai bus pass from the tokai bus terminal opposite Izu shimoda train station.

There is a big welcome center next to the parking lot with food and drink options (seemed to be newly built). The edges at the cape are quite steep, so be careful. However I found the views from nearby Yusuga Park more impressive. Also note as of May 2024 closing time was already 16:00.

Fantastic place. Worth visiting as the view from the southern most top of Izu peninsula is just amazing. The ocean in front of you, the waves crashing down on the rocks, beautifully colored water, the high wind / breeze, cute little lighthouse-,can’t go up though, the shrine at the cliff end and at the tip - it is absolutely fantastic. Parking lot has many spots available (500 JPY). We saw a bus there as well but not sure about its frequency. There is a souvenir shop, a small restaurant with select few dishes, a few tables and chairs to settle down, toilets etc - all of which seems like pretty new, so sparklingly clean. The staff was standing right at the front gate of the small building (adjacent to parking spot) and graciously offered free umbrellas to carry till the end of Iro cape as it was drizzling a little bit. The hike is just 10 mins simple walk from parking spot. Kids can easily go. Fun fact: As is the practice with many Shinto shrines, the Iro shrine also has a mirror installed where one would keep deity. The understanding being that “A shrine’s mirror on an alter is often angled for the effect that the spirit of the kami is reflected within the person looking in the mirror.”

Wonderful scenery. Ocean views from the lighthouse. It was an awesome place to visit and appreciate more the beauty of nature. There is a shrine, spacious parking area and restaurant. There is no entrance fee, you only have to pay for the parking area.

A bit far from Tokyo, but definitely worth a visit if you are already in Shimoda city.

Nice place, nice food, friendly staff. Shame there’s no wifi to translate menus and labels in their shop. It would be nice if they could have English subtitles. Somethings looked interesting but no idea what they were so didn’t buy anything.

My review is based upon the restaurant being out of lobster. My family order the tempura thinking that the seafood would not be breaded, however it was. Not a great meal, but very authentic. I would go back and try it again if they had the lobster meal

Amazing food and hospitality. The unagi was the incredibly tasty, tonkutsu as well. To be repeated! They are by Mikomoto Hammers, so the location is very convenient for people diving with them. They also have on display art prints, postcards and local crafts and specialities. Thank you very much!

Okada Restaurant in Izu, Japan is a popular dining destination known for its exquisite cuisine. One of its standout dishes is the Kinmedai Teishoku, or Golden Eye Snapper Set Meal. This traditional Japanese meal features a perfectly cooked piece of Kinmedai, a prized fish known for its delicate flavor and tender flesh. The set meal typically includes a generous portion of Kinmedai sashimi, grilled Kinmedai, miso soup, pickles, rice, and other accompanying dishes. Okada Restaurant takes pride in sourcing the freshest ingredients, ensuring a delightful culinary experience for its patrons. The Kinmedai Teishoku is a must-try dish at Okada, offering a harmonious blend of flavors and a glimpse into the rich seafood heritage of the region.

Absolutely great. We picked vegetables, fish, and seafood, mostly in combos. Delicious, eyes would eat it all, but unfortunately we couldn't eat SO much. Thank you very much. MP

Great restaurant to have fish and shellfish. I had a set with unadon (grilled eel on rice) for ¥2,600 and it was delicious. The set includes miso soup, pickles, sashimi, savory pudding... The staff is friendly. Nice atmosphere and great food in a good location.

Typical traditional Japanese style restaurant serving mostly seafood specialties. I was a coward and had the pork tonkatsu. It was good, but teishoku shouldn't cost me over ¥1900 like it did here.

perfect location - street terrace with beach-view. fresh and delicious food 👏

Lunch was delicious! I had the Kinmeidai which was amazing. The staff and all the food was the best. I especially loved the atmosphere.

It's a common type of restaurant in the site seeing area. Service and food being not great but ok level, and bit pricy as most tourists would expect. I tried the kaisen-don. Miso soup cup and rice bowl had seaweed and rice sticking outside the dish. 1 piece of pumpkin and bit of pickles were on sides. As for the taste, nothing surprising but I wish the rice was a sushi rice. I'm still thankful that they are open throughout the year, not just the on-season. Be sure to carry a cash and not a card.

The lobster ramen is delicious. The sashimi is fresh. And the owners are generous.

Decent place, come early because most dishes will be sold out by 3pm. My pasta came cold 😳 They only accept cash and you have to pay first

Not a 5 star dining but they are not trying to be. Very avarage, reasonably priced that does the job nicely. Open all afternoon so late lunches are no problem.

Seafood BBQ & local lobster Miso soup are very good

(Translated by Google) I went there right after opening on Friday, the first day of my trip. I had often seen the restaurant's sign from Room 136 and had been curious about it, so I thought this time would be the perfect time. It filled up in no time. I ordered a large bowl of duck soup in a bamboo steamer and deep-fried yam. Both were absolutely delicious. When I left, the parking lot was full of cars with local license plates, so I realized that if they're here right after opening on a weekday, they must be loved by locals. Next time I'll go back for the sakura shrimp bukkake and rolled omelet. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 旅行初日金曜日の開店直後に行きました。136号からお店のノボリをよく見掛けていて気になっていたので今回こそはと。あっという間に満席になりました。鴨汁せいろ大盛と長芋の素揚げを注文。どちらも本当に美味しかったです。帰る時駐車場は地元ナンバーばかりだったので、平日開店直後にこれなら地元に愛されてるんだと思いました。次は桜えびぶっかけとだし巻き玉子を食べにまた行こうと思います。御馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) Even when diluted twice with soba soup, it's still a little salty! But the flavor of the soup is still intact, which must be because it's made with careful craftsmanship. It might be good to go to Izu and try the soba noodles. It tasted like duck blood. It might not be to everyone's taste. (Original) そば湯で倍に薄めても、ちょっと塩っぱい！ でもね、それでも汁の味が破綻してないのは、きっと丁寧な仕事の上に出来た汁なのでしょう 伊豆に行って「蕎麦」も良いかもしれません 鴨が血の味がしました 好みが別れるかもしれません

(Translated by Google) Katsudon and Tendon have thick sauce and are salty...Kanto style? ------- The deep-fried nagaimo was surprisingly delicious! The soba noodles were also delicious. (Original) カツ丼や天丼は、たれが濃くて塩っぱいですかね…関東風？ ------- 長芋の素揚げが驚きの美味しさでした！お蕎麦も普通に美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for lunch on Izu Touring. The parking lot is gravel for 5-6 cars. If you are going by bike, please be a little careful. Also, the area in front of the entrance is not part of the store's premises, so please do not park your motorcycle, etc. I ordered grated soba and it arrived in about 15 minutes. In terms of timing, the congestion has subsided a little. Whenever I go to a soba restaurant, I always order grated soba, and it was quite delicious. I wanted a little more green onion as a seasoning. (Original) 伊豆ツーリングのランチで立ち寄りました。 駐車場は5〜6台で砂利です。バイクで行かれる方は少し注意して下さい。 また、入口手前側はお店の敷地ではないので、バイク等駐めないようにしましょう。 おろし蕎麦を注文し、約15分程で蕎麦がきました。タイミング的には混み具合が少し収まってきたぐらいです。 蕎麦屋さんでおろし蕎麦があれば必ず注文するのですが、かなり美味しかったです。 薬味のネギがもう少し欲しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I found it while I was on the go and tried it, and it was delicious. The customers came until the last minute, but I was satisfied after eating. It was delicious, and even a normal portion was a good portion. (Original) 移動中みつけて飛び込んでみましたが美味しかったです。時間ギリギリまでお客がきてましたが食べて納得。美味しかったです、普通盛りでもいい盛りでした。

(Translated by Google) From the main road, go around a narrow road. It's small, but there's a signboard so follow it. The photo shows warm tempura soba for 1,500 yen. In addition to the soba noodles, the tempura is crispy and very delicious. It seems like they use good materials. Best of all, it's salty. Also, I'm really happy that the towels smell nice. If you want to have lunch in Minamiizu, this is the place. Oh, apparently they do it at night too! (Original) 主幹道路からぐるっと細い道を回っていきます。小さいですが看板があるのでそれにならいましょう。 写真は温かい天ぷら蕎麦で1,500円。 お蕎麦はもちろんですが、天ぷらさくさくでとっても美味しいです。 素材も良いものを使っていらっしゃる感じです。 何より、塩なのがグッド。 あとおしぼりがいい匂いがするのが何気に嬉しいです。 南伊豆でお昼食べるならここです。 あ、夜もやっているそうです！

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is nice and the soba is delicious. I waited for about 30 minutes because I thought there would be no one because it was a hard to find place. After all, if you want to eat something delicious, you have to wait in line. (Original) 店の雰囲気もよく蕎麦美味しいです。わかりにくい場所なんで人がいないと思っていたら30分位待ちました。 やっぱり美味しいもの食べようと思ったら並ばないといけませんね。

when I left the restaurant I was hungrier than when I entered even though I paid for an expensive dinner in my opinion but the thing that bothered me the most was that I had to go looking for cash because they didn't take credit cards to pay

What looked promising (nice new building, wide parking and an outside deck) proved rather disappointing. Drab interior but more importantly, really basic (borderline poor) food, both in terms of taste and presentation. The famous Shimoda Kinmedai (fish) was not only tiny but totally overpriced. The place might be good for a few beers and nibbles, but I cannot recommend it for dinner. There are far better places both around as well as in Shimoda for local seafood.

High price and small portions for what was just pretty ordinary Japanese food.

(Translated by Google) I visited here at lunchtime. My son and I went for a seafood bowl, but the fried horse mackerel was so impressive we couldn't resist. 💦 It was delicious. The parking lot is large and easy to park in. (Original) お昼時にお邪魔しました。 息子と2人で海鮮丼を食べにいきましたが、アジフライが立派でつい目移りしてしまい💦 とても美味しく頂きました。 駐車場も広く停めやすいです。

(Translated by Google) This is a local izakaya that doesn't have much to offer. There is a traditional inn next door, so if you stay with breakfast included, you might have dinner here as there don't seem to be any restaurants nearby. It looks new so the inside is clean. (Original) あまり特徴のない地元の居酒屋さんですね。 隣に旅館がありますので、朝食付きで泊まった際は、近所に飲食店がなさそうなのでこちらで夕食となるのでしょうか？ まだ新しそうなので中はキレイですよ。

(Translated by Google) [Highly Recommended Restaurant in Izu] This restaurant deserves six stars. My most recommended restaurant in Izu. Incredibly fresh, delicious, and not stingy. [Updated 2025/07] The seafood bowl is 2,000 yen. Still, the variety and portion of fresh fish is generous, so it's good value for money. For some reason, it was empty. It was empty. (Maybe it was just a coincidence?) There was no explanation of the fish in the seafood bowl... The taste wasn't bad, but what happened? As one of my favorite restaurants, I hope it maintains its popularity. [Updated 2024/09] I went again. It's as delicious as ever. <Update> I like it so much that I've been there many times. Every time, it's a seafood bowl. I used to rate it 5 if it was good and 4 or 3 if it was bad, but with restaurants like this, I have to lower the other ratings to make it even. A seafood bowl at 1,700 yen isn't cheap, but the freshness and the amount of fish fillets far exceed the price. I feel like the quality of the food is even reflected in the miso soup. The wakame seaweed has a strong ocean scent. Even in Izu, there are sometimes disappointing restaurants, but this one is a real hit. (Original) 【伊豆で超オススメの店】 このお店は★６つというところ。 伊豆で一番にオススメのお店。 凄い新鮮、美味しい、ケチってない。 【追記2025/07】 海鮮丼は2000円となってます。 それでも新鮮な魚の種類も量もたっぷりなのでコスパはいい。 なぜか空いていた？ガラガラ。（たまたまかもですが？） 海鮮丼の魚の説明もなかった。。 味は落ちてなかったけど、何かあった？ 気に入ってるお店だけに、適度には人気はあって維持してほしいところです。 【追記2024/09】 またいきました。相変わらず美味しいです。 ＜追記＞気にって、もう何度も行ってます。毎回、海鮮丼。 良ければ５を基準、悪い場合に４、３としていたけど、こういうお店があると、他の評価を下げないと釣り合わない。 海鮮丼1700円は安くないけど、値段を数段超える、新鮮さ、そして魚の切り身がいっぱい。 ちゃんとしているところは、味噌汁にまで現れる気がする。 ワカメが海の香り強い。 伊豆でも、たまにハズレのお店があるなか、ここは本当に当たりのお店。

(Translated by Google) The fish was so fresh! Delicious and a great value! ❤️ The tonkatsu had crispy skin and thick meat, and best of all, it wasn't greasy at all. It was truly delicious! (Original) 魚很新鮮！好吃又划算❤️ 炸豬排皮脆、肉厚，重點是完全不膩 真的好好吃喔！

(Translated by Google) It's a great inn that makes you realize that this is the real Japanese hot spring, being rugged, simple, and not overly flashy. It's not suitable for those who want to look great with extravagant boat-shaped platters, spiny lobster, abalone, etc. *You can order luxurious ingredients as an option, but There's nothing extraneous, it's just plain, simple, and easy to understand. The bath is also the best, with water directly from the source. The spring quality, temperature, cleanliness, etc. are all excellent. The rooms are simple and beautiful Japanese-style rooms. However, there is a mattress under the futon, the air conditioner is the latest model, and the sink has hot water automatically, so you can feel the hospitality and attention to detail. The food is also of course great. They offer a variety of ingredients, mainly extremely fresh sashimi and golden-eyed snapper. The only thing that's missing is... What I thought was that the photo on the website for the "Kawachiya Kaiseki" plan showed the boiled golden-eyed snapper as a whole fish, but what actually came out was just a single fillet, the kind you'd get in a set meal. It was disappointing, as I had high hopes for it. Also, there was no tempura in the set menu, so it might be a little disappointing for men or those who want to eat their fill. With the exception of one person, the service was excellent and everyone was always attentive, which I appreciated. When I checked out, I had a chance to chat with the landlady, and she bowed politely and saw me off until I was out of sight, which I was touched by. It looks like the hotel will be fully booked during the cherry blossom viewing season, but I'll do my best to make a reservation. I'll definitely visit this famous inn again. (Original) 無骨で端的で極端に華美で無く、これが本来の日本の温泉だと改めて実感させられる最高の宿です。 やたら豪華な舟盛りや伊勢海老、鮑とかで映えたい方には不向き。※オプションで豪華食材オーダーは可能ですが 余計なものが一切なく、ただただ素朴でシンプルでわかりやすい。 お風呂も源泉かけ流しの最高峰。泉質、温度、清潔度など全て素晴らしいです。 お部屋もシンプルで綺麗な和室。とはいえ布団の下にマットレスが敷いてあったり、エアコンが最新機種だったり、洗面台も自動吐水でお湯だったり、わりとあちこちに拘りと費用かけていておもてなしの心が伝わってきます。 食事も言わずもがな。鮮度抜群のお刺身や金目鯛を中心に色んな食材で楽しませてくれます。 唯一あれ？と思ったのがプランの「河内屋懐石」のサイト上の写真では金目鯛の煮つけが姿煮だったけど、実際に出てきたのは所謂定食で使われるような切り身ひとつだけ。期待していただけに残念でした。 それと一通りの料理の中に天婦羅は無かったので、お腹いっぱい食べたい方や男性だと少し物足りないかもしれません。 接客も1名を除けば皆さん素晴らしくて常に気を配って頂き有難かったです。 チェックアウトの際には大女将と色々とお話しもさせて頂き、こちらが見えなくなるまで丁寧なお辞儀をして見送って頂き感動しました。 桜の見ごろの時期が満室になりそうですが、なんとか予約できるよう頑張ってみます。 再訪確実の名宿です。

This was my second time diving at Mikomoto to see the hammerhead sharks. Conditions were rough this time, with strong winds and 8–10 ft swells, so coming back to Hotel Kawachiya felt like heaven. Our room was huge, in traditional tatami style, with two tables—one for meals and another by the sliding doors facing the tranquil rock garden. Everything was spotlessly clean and the staff were genuinely friendly. I also loved the onsen, which Minamiizu is famous for, ideal for relaxation after a long day at sea. I usually go before sleeping. The free shuttle to and from the train station was really convenient. It’s also a pleasant 15–20 minute walk along the river to get into town. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, relaxing stay in Minamiizu!

(Translated by Google) Although the location is a little secluded, it is not a tourist spot so you can enjoy it in peace. The facilities in the hotel were of a very high standard and felt like a higher-grade hotel. The hot springs were fed directly from the source, so the temperature of the water was just right and I was able to relax. (Original) 場所は少し奥まった所にありますが逆に観光地化していないので落ち着いて楽しめます。ホテル内の設備もかなりグレードが高くワンランク上のホテルのような感じでした。温泉は源泉かけ流しで湯の温度がちょうど良くリラックス出来ました。

Meet in front of the inn in your swimsuit before 8:00 AM the day after your stay. You'll be transported to Nakagi Marine Center. We rented wetsuits and snorkeling equipment. Then, we took a boat to Hirizo Beach. We swam in the 30-meter deep ocean under the guidance of an instructor and saw many fish. A boxed lunch was provided. Free swimming in the afternoon was available. There was a shower and changing area (no hair dryers). The inn staff picked me up. Back at the inn, you can enjoy a soak in the hot spring, which was very convenient. The inn staff were very kind, and they I was concerned about getting seasick.

The meals were very filling. ヒリゾ浜のシュノーケルプランがあるお宿。 伊豆下田のシュノーケル、ダイビングスポットのヒリゾ浜は船で渡るのですが、そのプラン付き送迎（船場ー宿の送迎、中木マリンセンターさんとの連携）あり、なのでとっても便利です。 宿泊翌日の8:00前に水着で宿前集合 中木マリンセンターまで送迎してくださる ウェットスーツやシュノーケルセットをレンタル。船でヒリゾ浜へ。 インストラクターさんのもと30メートルある海も泳げてたくさんのお魚が見られました。 お昼はお弁当付き。 午後からは自由に泳げる。 シャワー着替えもできる場所あり。（ドライヤーはなかった） 宿の方がお迎えに来てくださる。 お宿に帰ったら温泉にも入れるし、楽ちんです。 波酔いした私を心配してくださったり、お宿の方々みなさん親切でよくしてくださいました。 源泉掛け流しのお湯も心地よいです。 お食事はボリューム満点。

(Translated by Google) This inn accepts online reservations, but its website lists two optional Hirizohama snorkel packages. For some reason, these options are only available over the phone, and they charged me for the more expensive Hirizohama package on the day. Even when I said I'd booked the cheaper option, they insisted that "I said it, I didn't say it," and charged me in a very aggressive manner. The price, which includes transportation, ferry fare, lunch, and snorkeling instruction, is 15,400 yen. Even though this option is as expensive as the accommodation fee, their strategy seems to be to not send me a confirmation email or any other evidence after receiving my phone reservation. I managed to negotiate down to the cheaper price of 8,800 yen, but they asked me to buy the bento boxes, which I reluctantly paid. They were supposedly 700 yen each, but they never brought the bento boxes I paid for. When I complained, they started blaming Nakagi Marine Center for the bento delivery. Negotiating a refund for the bento that never arrived required tough negotiations with a 55-year-old customer who claims to be the young proprietress of Kawachiya and a woman who is unaware of the rules of casual customer service, and where "he said, she said" arguments won't work. When I called to make a reservation, the woman who answered the phone was only able to give me an unclear response, and only replied when she called back that she had received the reservation, but if I had emailed the reservation details there would have been no problem, so I wonder if this is how they do it? What should have been a fun summer holiday with my kids has been ruined. As we were leaving, the 55-year-old woman who claims to be the young proprietress and is unaware of the rules of casual customer service said to me, "But when you came in you asked if you were here for snorkeling, right?" and when I told her that "he said, she said" arguments wouldn't work she reiterated, "I did," which was hilarious. The wording on the website is also confusing so I think they should change it to avoid any problems, but if that was their intention it was a great success. (Original) この宿は宿泊予約はネットで完結出来ますが、HPにオプションで2種類のヒリゾ浜シュノーケルパックを掲載しており、そのオプションはなぜか電話予約しか対応しておらず、高い方のヒリゾ浜パックの代金を当日請求してきます。安い方を申し込んだと言っても言った言わないの議論は通用しないと言われ非常に高圧的な態度で請求されます。 送迎と渡船代と弁当とシュノーケル講習が付いて15,400円だそうです。宿泊料金並みに高額なオプションなのに電話予約を受けたあとは証拠になるような予約確認のメールも何も送付しない作戦のようです。 頑張って交渉し8,800円の安い方の料金にさせましたが、弁当は買い取れと言われ仕方なく支払いました、１個700円だそうですが、代金を支払った弁当は持って来ませんでした。文句を言うと弁当配達の責任は中木マリンセンターあると言いだす始末です。こなかった弁当代金の返金交渉には、また言った言わない議論は通用しないこの河内屋の若女将とか言う55歳の客にタメ口の接客を知らない女とタフな交渉が必要です。 予約電話をした際も対応した女性は不明瞭な応対しかできず、電話を折り返してきて予約受けましたとだけ回答して来ましたが、予約内容をメールで返せば何もトラブルは起きませんのでこういう手口でやっているんでしょうか？楽しいはずの子どもとの夏休みが台無しになりました。 帰り際、若女将とか言う55歳のタメ口の接客を知らない女が　”でも私来られた際にシュノーケリングのお客さんですかって言いましたよね”と言って来たので、言った言わないの議論が通用しないと言われた方が”言いました”って念を押してきたので笑えました。 HPの表記も紛らわしいので修正したほうがトラブルなくていいと思いますが、それが狙いなら大成功ですね。

(Translated by Google) Stayed on Friday, March 2025 I went to Kawachiya because it was a good price at Rakutora. The food, hot springs, and room were comfortable without any problems. Meals are served in semi-private rooms, and the golden sea bream shabu-shabu is better when thoroughly cooked. How about shabu-shabu? ? ? becomes The hot springs were good, both indoor and outdoor. There is a smoking area on the 1st floor of the building. We had a relaxing time soaking in the hot springs fed directly from the source. thank you (Original) 2025.3金曜日に宿泊 楽トラでお得な金額だったので河内屋さんへ 料理、温泉、お部屋何の問題もなく快適でした 食事は半個室、金目鯛のしゃぶしゃぶは、しっかりと火を入れたほうがおいしいですよ しゃぶしゃぶでは？？？になります 温泉は内湯、露天あり良いお湯でした 館内1Fに喫煙所があります 源泉掛け流しの温泉に浸かり、ゆっくり過ごさせていただきました ありがとうございました

(Translated by Google) While my wife was bathing in the women's bath, a male employee came in and saw her naked. This was before COVID-19, but it served as our honeymoon with my wife. My wife liked it so much that we've returned a second time. As I mentioned at the beginning, he peeped at my wife while she was bathing. Afterwards, there was no apology whatsoever, and when my wife casually mentioned it to the employee, he just replied with a "huh." Later, when the landlady brought our food at dinnertime, she said, "It seems an employee caused you trouble," with a bit of a sulky look, but with that attitude, I couldn't take it as an apology. After that, we checked out as if nothing had happened, and it would have been different if she had apologized again, but nothing happened. First of all, it's easy to tell if someone is bathing with just a little checking, so isn't the fact that a male employee came in without checking considered peeping? If it is peeping, it is a crime, and my wife, who was in her twenties at the time, suffered for years because we didn't receive a proper apology. I thought it was a good inn until then, so I'm really disappointed. I will never go there again. Female guests should be very careful. (Original) 妻が女湯に入浴中に男性従業員が入ってきて裸を見られました。 コロナ前ですが、妻との新婚旅行を兼ねて宿泊。 妻が気に入りリピートで2回目。 冒頭にも書きましたが妻の入浴を覗かれました。 その後謝罪も全くなく妻が軽く従業員に言うも「はぁ」みたいな返事。 その後食事時に女将が食事を持ってきた時に「従業員がご迷惑をおかけしたそうで」と少しムスッとしながら一応のお返事は聞けました、が、あの態度　謝罪とは受け取れません。 その後何事も無かったかの様にチェックアウト、もう一度申し訳なさそうに謝罪があるならまだしも何もなし。 先ず、誰かが入浴中などという事は少し確認すればすぐ分かる事、それでも確認もせず男性従業員が入ってくるという事は覗きではありませんか？ 覗き行為であれば犯罪です、まともな謝罪も頂けなかったので当時二十代だった妻は年単位で苦しんでいました。 それまでは良い宿だと思っていたのに本当の本当に残念です。もう二度と行きません。 女性のお客さんは本当にご注意ください。
