Hotels near Jōren Falls, Izu

The Mizunoji Windnoji Yushima Ryuta Onsen Hotel is the second hot spring hotel in Izu that I stayed in after staying at the Kikuya in Shuzenji. The hotel's specialty is the kawadoko cuisine, which means dining while sitting by the river and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The hotel's rooms are extremely traditional tatami style, and the hardware is very primitive. The hotel has first-class scenery, and tourists who like tatami can try it, but I don't recommend long-term living. Maybe I prefer a ”traditional” hot spring hotel with some modern equipment.

Amazing hotel, more than 100 years of building protection is very good, the room is very large and quiet, the courtyard is super beautiful, the swing after crossing the bridge is like a fairyland, the meal is super delicious, even the hotel's free juice and popsicles are unexpectedly delicious, value for money. If you have to make suggestions, there are a little less choices for private soup and public soup. btw: It is recommended not to book through Trip.com, communication is too laborious. You can go directly to their official website or call, there is Chinese customer service.

The waiters in the hotel are really polite, considerate, caring about everything, and make you feel at home. The food quality is good, the Wagyu beef for dinner is delicious, and the portion is very sufficient. Both breakfast and dinner are served with wasabi, and the Wasabi miso is very delicious. The privacy of the hotel rooms is very high, the hotel environment is good, and the decoration does not feel old. The hot spring in the room is very convenient.

This is my third visits at Tofuya Resort and their services are over excellent. My stay for this trip was disrupted by typhoon hagibis but the duty staff initiate a compensation voucher because one of the onsen facility was damage by the strong wind. Thank you.

The hotel is located in the mountains near Shuzenji Temple. We originally booked this hotel expecting a beautiful view, but the waiter actually gave us a room facing the staff entrance. Not only did we not have a window view, but as soon as we opened the curtains, we could see the staff coming in and out and the garbage trucks, which really affected our mood. The hygiene in the hot spring dressing room was also worrying. The wall near the exhaust fan was obviously dusty and dirty. The hygiene of this hotel was not very good. 😑 There was hair left by someone on the bedside in the room. Sigh😑, I have to give a bad review.

Our room has a Mount Fuji view, which was great! However, the location of the hotel is situated on the hill, so May not be so convenient for travellers who don’t drive. Also, if you want to go to the public onsen within the hotel, you will have to take the shuttle bus, which is a bit inconvenient. However, overall this hotel is still a good choice!

This is the ceiling of the hot spring hotel I have stayed in so far! I haven't been to too many hot springs. I have stayed in Gero Onsen Yunoshima, Kurokawa Onsen Oyado and Yunping Onsen Yamashiro Ryokan. This is the fourth Japanese hot spring hotel. Arai Ryokan is undoubtedly the best, and it is much better. First of all, it has a sense of history built in 1872. Secondly, the winding wooden bridge in the garden, the forest of giant trees, and the various styles of architectural design interspersed in the plump koi pond are very clever. Thirdly, the whole hotel seems to have been renovated not long ago, and all the details are brand new and clean, especially the wooden floor handrail pillars are very clean. Finally, the giant stone hot spring that is adapted to local conditions is very distinctive, and the wild sky bath is also beautiful. The Tonger room we stayed in may be the best in the whole venue, with a large fish pond in front and a small forest courtyard in the back, and the scenery is first-class. The female general is very thoughtful, the kaiseki cuisine is rich, and the quilt is also comfortable. Everything is very satisfactory! I got a wonderful experience and left an unforgettable memory. I will go again if I have the chance!

Kangcheng Kawabata mentioned the hot springs of Xiusan Temple three times in the short story ”The Dancer of Izu”. Before we set off for Japan, we decided to add a berth and two meals to the ghost's habitat in the second half of our newlywed trip, one to experience the traditional Japanese soup culture, and the other to relieve fatigue for the first half of the trip. From Tokyo, the Shanyang Line to Sandao transfer, three hours to the hot spring town of Zhongyizu. Unlike the downtown, the flowing water, Nana breeze, the breath of nature makes people feel very comfortable when they get off the bus. The hotel has been waiting at the station in advance. The driver master introduced us to the attractions, the room (we booked the mountain section, after talking about it, you can look at the water, see if you want to change) and the dining arrangement. His humor makes the transfer journey very pleasant and short. In terms of service, the whole process is meticulous, there is a Chinese brother at the front desk, and the check-in is also very smooth. At the same time, I noticed that the driver master had a special explanation with the front desk after learning that we were newlyweds. So thank you for the ”kill to die” that the hotel offers, including flowers, two free drinks and desserts. In terms of rooms, the whole hotel is very elegant. After comparison, although the soup pool in Qingshui is larger, we prefer the room type and mountain view of Shanke. Combining Zen decoration design and furniture, we enjoy this hot spring trip very much. In terms of dining, whether it is dinner or breakfast, kaiseki cuisine is very exquisite. While experiencing the fresh food in the season, you can feel the chef's understanding and making, pursuit and ingenuity in terms of taste, ingredients, appearance, etc., only 40 years old is really very young. In terms of environment, before two o'clock, we went to the town for a walk. The sunflower is a local specialty. This can be taken away from the buckwheat noodles, the sunflower ice cream can be tasted, etc. You can feel it. I especially recommend the buckwheat noodles of the Temple そば (refreshing, fragrant and delicious) Ice cream with Tan Nai (next to the foot bath soup pool, you can soak your feet while blowing the hair while eating dessert). Overall, this hot spring trip has become a very good memory for us, looking forward to the future opportunity to come again.

The room is spacious and comfortable, clean and tidy. The service is thoughtful, and the hot spring has private and public baths. Many guests are domestic tourists. Dinner Kaiseki cuisine: The dishes are satisfactory, and there is no need to worry about not being full for breakfast and dinner. The hotel environment is very beautiful and private. The whole courtyard, suspension bridge, stream, and koi are harmoniously reflected and very photogenic.

The hotel is close to the entrance of the hot spring street. Take the C10 bus from Shuzenji Station and get off at the 6th stop. Go forward, turn left, cross the bridge, and turn left to see the hotel entrance. Breakfast and dinner are buffets. Change shoes after entering the lobby of the hotel. Walk around barefoot in socks throughout the hotel. After checking in at the door, choose your own yukata and take toiletries. There are many yukata patterns. There are 7 private baths on the 4th floor of the hotel. No reservation is required. Just wait in order in the private bath hall and enter the private bath room. Use it for a maximum of half an hour at a time. There is an open-air public bath on the 9th floor. The lobby is actually the 3rd floor. The 4th to 8th floors are guest rooms, and the restaurant is on the 2nd floor. For some reason, even if you book on Ctrip 2 to 3 months in advance, the room floor is still the lowest. After all, there is a private bath and laundry room on the 4th floor, so it doesn't matter if the floor is a little lower. The washing machine here is free to use, and the dryer is 100 yen for 20 minutes. In general, it's pretty good overall. If I have to point out some shortcomings, I think it may be because of the tatami mats. If you walk upstairs with a little more weight, you can feel a thumping sound. If there are children running, it's even worse. In addition, the opening and closing of windows in the adjacent rooms also makes a loud noise.
