Beautiful, new build residence. Very low fuss and with stripped back breakfast. But we had complete privacy and a very tranquil setting and enough creature comforts to enjoy a film in the evening. Only a short drive from three towns and the seven waterfalls as well. The bath room/private onsen is wonderful.

Boasting various hot spring baths and saunas, Seiryu-so is a traditional Japanese-style accommodation surrounded by greenery along the river. Warm hot spring water is used for the outdoor swimming pool, which can be used all year around. Free Wi-Fi is provided in the lobby area.

From the moment we arrived, we realized this place was better than what we had expected from the photos. It felt very old-world Japan. It was dignified, polite, sprawling, and comfortable. The onsen were excellent, the gardens were nice to walk through, and staff were very courteous and helpful. We hope to go back.

Situated in Shimoda and only 1.9 km from Nabetahama Beach, Shimoda Itoen Hotel Hanamisaki features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This 3-star ryokan offers a lift and bicycle parking. Guests have access to a public bath and open-air bath.

The all-you-can-eat (and drink) buffets for breakfast and dinner were wonderful. I stayed four nights and I still didn’t get around to trying everything. The room was a very spacious 12-mat room with all the comforts I needed and a lovely view of the mountains. Incredible bargain for the money, especially when you include all the food. The onsen was very welcome, and I highly recommend using the fantastic rotemburo. It was only a short walk (less than 10 minutes) to the train and bus station. It was very quiet there. I never had to wear earplugs to get to sleep like I do other places. Even though there were a lot of people there, everyone was respectful and the whole place had a nice relaxed feel to it. It makes a great base for exploring so much of the Izu Peninsula, and I can’t wait to go back again.

    This was our first ryokan, and Seiryu-So blew our minds. What a beautiful place. We spent 5 nights, and enjoyed every minte (especially the minutes spent in the onsen!) Thank you for your hospitality, we had an amazing time here.

    Great location (short walk to the main station and the centre of the town; bus stop to Shirahama beach) and we loved the private onsen! Everything was clean with many fresh towels for every day of our stay. We had the private room with futon beds which were thick and comfortable.

    Somewhat older property but in a stunning location and well-maintained. One negative, - access to the onsen lacks elevators and requires climbing stairs. The onsen itself is again a little dated but the location and views of the beach more than makes up for this. Our room service was superb - everything one can wish for in a onsen-ryokan experience. There is a free shuttle service to the Shimoda train station.
