Independent – Izu Ōshiman saari, Oshima

”Hinodeya ryokan was a warmhearted place. I believe that it is kept by mother and her son. I struggled to speak some japanese and they struggled to speak some english, but we got along quite well. The room was a tradional ryokan-style room. You get to wear a fancy yukata! They had a nice ofuro room and good breakfast. You even get to make your own omelette! I could definately return to this hotel.”

”従業員の方がほぼ全て外国の方。しかし、日本のおもてなしを純粋に努めて下さるところに心温まる。 大浴場にはボディシャンプ－、シャンプーリンスはあるが、アメニティは最低限(歯ブラシぐらい)。各部屋で必要な物(ポット、浴衣)は受付で借りれる。近隣にはコンビニがないので、必要な物は揃えて持っていく必要あるが･･･とてもシンプルで過度のサービスなし。心地よい潔さを感じる。”

”The location is perfect, the onsen is pure bliss and the lounge offers free drinks, snacks, etc. around the clock.”

”The inn was in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very talkative and friendly. He was reachable over WhatsApp/LINE/Telegram/WeChat, and offered free pick up and drop off options at Izu Kōgen (伊豆高原) station and a few tourist spots. The stay was quiet and peaceful and I greatly enjoyed it. Thank you for a wonderful hosting!”

”Nice ”
