Yuraku Izu Oshima — Hotel in Tokyo

Overall, my experience at this guesthouse was positive. It provided all the basic functions of a place to stay while also offering useful services for exploring the island. I stayed in a capsule room for my solo trip, and luckily, my roommates were quiet for the whole night. The living experience was largely dependent on who sharing the room with—I was probably the noisy one, coming and going late at night to photograph the stars. The breakfast, which was included in the plan I chose, was decent. There's also a dinner and bar service available from 5 to 9 p.m., which is a necessary option since there are few other restaurants nearby for dinner. However, I ended up eating dinner elsewhere. One major challenge is the location and transportation. Public transport on the island essentially stops after 5-6 p.m., which makes this guesthouse a difficult choice for anyone hoping to enjoy the sunset or nighttime scenery in other parts of the island. Since there are few dinner options nearby, eating out requires returning to the guesthouse early or relying on a car. This is a significant drawback for solo travelers like me who typically don't rent a car, creating a contradiction between the capsule hotel concept and the lack of mobility. The shared facilities meet standard hostel expectations. The bathrooms and communal areas are shared among all guests, but they seem a bit dated, especially the bathrooms. In addition to accommodation, the guesthouse offers great services like electric bicycle rentals and beach equipment, which are perfect for exploring the island. I also learned that they offer a stargazing activity, but I was not aware of it and wasn't able to book it in advance. Fortunately, the night sky is still visible around the guesthouse.

Suggestions for the Guesthouse Offer a shuttle service. Since public transportation is limited in the evening, a paid shuttle service would be extremely helpful. A late-night pick-up at a major town, for example, would be a fantastic, and profitable, service to offer. Organize guest activities. Many hostels organize social events for guests. This would be a great way to build a stronger sense of community and attract...

The capsule room was clean and the staff were very friendly, which was nice. I wouldn’t recommend using the shower, there are better options like nearby onsen or sento. The disappointing part was that even though I bought a drink and food at their restaurant, I wasn’t allowed to eat anything I brought from outside. The only option was to eat in the workspace, which honestly felt pretty bad.

The location itself is pretty inconvenient, I’d recommend Motomachi area instead. Overall, I’d stay somewhere else if possible, this place would be my...

残念ながら、もう一度泊まりたい宿ではありませんでした。「島の民宿」という条件を踏まえても、コスパがよくないという評価です。

潔癖症の方や女性一人での利用はおすすめしません。利用される場合は、外部の温泉を利用したり、アメニティを持参(もしくは、宿で購入可能なアイテムを確認)された方がよさそうです。

設備や評価理由を、以下に書き込みます。よければ参考にしてください。 ●部屋 ・かなりカビのような臭いがした。 ・ふすまの破損(紙がはがれたまま) ・カーテンなしの窓 ・冬季はエアコンではなく石油ヒーターを配備。(適宜換気が必用) ・全マットレスに謎のシミ ・TVリモコンの汚れ

●風呂 ※短時間で済ませたので記憶の限り ・清潔感は感じられない。 ・男女共用。予約表に使用時間を記入する方式だが、風呂・脱衣場は共用の洗面所の奥にあり、洗面所とは簡易な鍵付きの扉で隔てられているだけなので安心感がない。 ・湯船は使用不可(たしか故障中) ・床に直置きのシャンプー・ボディーソープ(LUX、椿油配合のボディーソープなど。洗顔料はなかったはず) ・シャワーは同時に２ヶ所使用可能

●サービス ・水とお湯が玄関横で ・無料Wi-Fiあり
