Incredibly peaceful ryokan run by the loveliest couple! We stayed here for 2 nights in the Sakura room, and i wish we could’ve stayed longer. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve never felt so relaxed and at peace at an accommodation before.
The ryokan is located at the top of a small hill, so driving is highly recommended. There’s no store nearby although the inn does have a vending machine with drinks. There are only 4 rooms, so the ryokan is not crowded at all and very quiet. The owners of the ryokan are very kind and friendly, and were very patient with us when we had to use google translate. They also gave us plenty of recommendations for things to do around Kawazu.
The room itself is very spacious for 2 people, and the layout very well thought out. Everything looks very new and clean. You get an amazing view of the ocean from the terrace and onsen - and since you’re at the top of the hill, at certain angles it really feels like you’re in the clouds! Amenities are also all provided for, so you can really just come here with your day clothes. The pyjamas are so soft and comfortable I wish I could bring home a pair 😭
Dinner and breakfast are served in a private room with an equally awesome view, although it varies depending on the dining room you get. Everything was fresh and sumptuous. You’re not allowed to bring your own alcohol, but their sakes are good and reasonably priced anyway.
This was honestly one of the most relaxing stays I’ve ever had- nothing beats a private onsen bath while looking out at the sea, followed by a sumptuous dinner before another round of onsen. The only thing I disliked was that there were many insects; but frankly that’s of no fault to the inn and kind of expected because they’re located near so much nature. Just keep your windows closed and all is good. Maybe colder seasons would have lesser insects.
I would love to stay here again many...

「花海月(はなみずき)」は、わずか4室の静かな宿。各部屋に温泉浴室が備えられており、宿泊者だけが楽しめる贅沢な造りです。私が滞在した1階の「菫(すみれ)」は2022年にリニューアルされ、広々とした岩風呂付き。泉質はナトリウム-塩化物泉の弱アルカリ性で、湯冷めしにくく、肌がしっとりする実感がありました。
一方で非常に残念に感じたのは、浴室に外から漂ってくる臭気です。最初は温泉特有の匂いかと思いましたが、成分表を見る限り硫黄系ではなく、どうやら浄化槽や生ごみの臭いが風向きによって入り込んでいるようでした。宿に到着時から夜にかけては特に強く感じられ、せっかくの温泉時間にも気になってしまい、落胆しました。朝は少し弱まっていたため、外的要因であることは明らかでした。これは宿の責任ではなく環境由来の可能性もありますが、換気方法や臭気遮断の工夫をしていただければ、滞在の快適さが格段に高まると思います。他の宿泊者の方も同じ状況に遭遇する可能性があるため、注意喚起とともに、今後の改善を強く期待したい点です。
それ以外は素晴らしく、朝はウグイスのさえずりが響き、都会の喧騒とは無縁の時間。木々を剪定して海を望めるように整えてくれている点や、バスタオル2枚の用意、部屋ごとのティッシュ配置、ドリップコーヒーのチョイスなど、細やかな心配りに感心しました。ドライヤーのコードまで丁寧に巻かれていたのは、宿の姿勢を象徴するようでした。
食事は個室形式で、少量多彩な料理を落ち着いて楽しめます。酒類は定番焼酎から伊豆のワインまで揃い、地元らしい味わいがありました。小学生以下は宿泊できないため、館内は終始落ち着いた雰囲気。大人が静かに過ごすには理想的です。
立地は急坂の上にあり、車高の低い車は注意が必要。また館内は階段が多いため荷物が多い方は大変かもしれません。それでも、自然音と静けさに包まれ、心尽くしに触れられるこの宿は貴重な存在。あとは臭気への対応が進めば、さらに安心して人に勧められ...
