Отель Yukairo Kikuya, Изу, Япония

Amazing truly local ryokan that had us so comfortable that we had 3 nights of 10hr+ of sleep. Beds were great, private& public spas great, food well done& staff really had us well attended to. Go here for rest& away from hoi polloi for sure.

The amenities were great! They had free oden and ramen throughout the night. They had free popsicles and all you can drink (coffee/juice/beer) from the afternoon to 9:30PM. There is a coffee station that is open 24/hours as well. We stayed in the Mizu no Kataribe building with a a river facing room. This building allows you to cross the suspension bridge.

The staff were super friendly and there were English and Mandarin speakers.

Onsens were so nice. There are 4 private baths. 2 open and 2 indoors. It’s first come first serve and there’s a 40 minute time limit. There is also 4 public baths. 2 indoors and 2 outdoors. And they’re gendered - man and woman. The nice thing is that they swap the public baths over night so you can see/try them all.

Everything about it, the exceptional staffs, the food, the vibe, the cleanliness and of course the onsen.

The breakfast was amazing and the setting for it was beautiful! I loved the onsen facilities, and there was always something available if not the private. Overall very beautiful and worth the $.

The facility itself was immaculate. There are enough onsens and I never have to wait for room. The restaurant offered private dining, both food and service were excellent.
