Yado-Marubun — Hotel in Minamiizu

The water used in this onsen is really good and you can tell when it really stings your eye and is salty! There's wonderful views of the stars at night and sounds of the waves in the distance, there's a sauna too!||This Ryokan is quite new I think & the staff are really welcoming and friendly and someone available with a decent understanding of English too. They accommodated a late pick up for us at Shimoda station & dropped us off the next day too :)||||Stunning views of this beautiful cove from our room, the room had adequate space but the outdoor bathroom did mean we had a few flies and mosquitos if the door is left open. We had a top floor room with a bathtub, so nice views of the sea.||Location wise, it is a little out of the way so perfect if you want a day of relaxation & not much exploring or if you have a car & can drive to the main Geo sites. To get to Ryugu caves you can get a bus and change at Kisame, but the buses to Ryugu cave only come once a day at 10:30 from Shimoda Station & leaves the to return at 14:30. Alternatively you can walk 40mins to Kisame through the really pretty seaside town of Touji.||||Dinner and breakfast was pleasant and served in the banquet hall, we had lobster sashimi which...

The Ryokan is located on a edge of Yumiga-hama beach and ca't be any better. There is an direct access to the beach from the hotel. The view from 5th floor room was excellent. There was a terrace and outside bath on the terrace although it was not Onsen. ||The facility was relatively new, well maintained. Room was very clean and other facilities too. Dinner was not as good as expected to the price of about JPY25,000 per night although it was not bad. The way dishes were served was kind of in a rash. TI was not the case that waitress watched how we eat and adjust a timing when they served next dishes. Wine list was like none existent. The list of Sake was small but not bad. Overall, value of this Ryokan is the location but the rest is at average considering the price of about JPY25,000 or about $250. I would stay there again but will have dinner...
