Amazing hotel, super cozy onsen, comfortable environment, friendly staff, and excellent hotel service.|We stay at the hotel for 2 nights. The front desk staff speaks very good English, and they will patiently introduce you all services (especially the onsen) they provide, all local spots you can visit.|They upgraded our room without any extra fees. The room is traditional Japanese tatami, it’s spacious, clean and very cozy. The room we have has a very good view from the window that you can see the city. Living in this room really gave us a full excellent experience of traditional Japanese lifestyle.|The onsen place they have in hotel is well maintained, clean, and super comfortable to enjoy. They provide every bath-product that you don’t need to worry about. The top level open-air onsen is fantastic. Highly recommend to try the open-air onsen.|They delivered our dinner and breakfast on time. The half-board meal is so good, basically all local good food.|The day we checked out, the owner gave us a free ride to the Ito train station. Really appreciate it.|This is the first time me and my wife staying at a traditional Japanese onsen hotel. Overall, we really had a good time staying at this onsen hotel. I consider it as one of the best memories of my first Japan tour. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Ito in the future. Highly recommend Yokikan if you are looking for an onsen hotel in Ito.|BTW, Ito is a beautiful city, and it has a very unique history to be explored. I would love to...

Read moreWhile there were some aspects of the hotel that I appreciated, my overall experience was extremely disappointing. The room was spacious, but it had definitely seen better days. The hotel gave me a somewhat authentic Japanese feeling, but it was overshadowed by the negative aspects of my stay.
On the positive side, the onsen wasn't too crowded and had a nice view of Ito city and the sea. Additionally, some of the staff were polite and accommodating, although their behavior was ultimately overshadowed by the numerous problems with the hotel.
However, the downsides of my stay cannot be ignored. The room was old and creaky, and the air conditioning unit was incredibly noisy. The food was a complete letdown, with the sashimi being far from fresh and the appetizers lacking any real effort.
