かね吉一燈庵 — Hotel in Kawadu

We had an amazing 3-night stay at this traditional onsen ryokan, and every moment exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we could feel the warmth and care in every detail — everything was thoughtfully prepared, making us feel completely relaxed and welcomed.

The service was impeccable — every staff member was genuinely kind, attentive, and professional. The meals were a highlight of our stay: beautifully presented, authentic Japanese cuisine made with seasonal ingredients, each dish prepared with such care and precision.

The private in-room onsen was an incredible experience — soaking in natural hot spring water while enjoying the serene view was pure bliss. It’s a perfect balance of comfort, tradition, and luxury.

This ryokan truly captures the heart of Japanese hospitality. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of coming back. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic, unforgettable onsen...

The meals were also locally sourced and tasty. A lovely option on the Izu Peninsula-...

I went with a few friends on an overnight trip from Tokyo (8 of us total). We had 3 rooms next to each other. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Dinner was overwhelming and excellent. The outdoor bath was a real treat - we reserved the private bath for an hour with our group and felt incredibly relaxed. Although this location is out of the way for travelers visiting Japan for a short time, it is a nice spot for others who have the time. Also, we were traveling with a few who spoke Japanese - so I'm unsure of their proficiency in English. Despite this, the staff was very kind, patient, and...
