Five-Star Hotels in Izunokuni

The breakfast is extraordinary, we are talking about a real Japanese breakfast. But dinner... dinner is an event in itself, nine courses, carefully designed down to the last detail. There will be dishes you won't know whether to touch or just look at. The location is exceptional, buildings surrounded by forest with a landscape design that surpasses everything you can see in the photos, I have traveled to Italy, France, etc, and this is the most incredible private garden I have ever seen in my life. In fact the entire building is like a museum. Anyone who might complain about "the bed" or "it looks old" is mistaken, is choosing the wrong place, that person may need a Hilton or another typical chain hotel. This is a building that is considered a heritage site in Japan. And the staff, the staff also exceeds all expectations of friendliness. We travel with two children, including one of 5 years, and it is not normal for so many attention, such as bringing a blanket - without asking for it - in case the child was cold during dinner. Sanyo-so was the best part of one of the best trips of our lives. EDIT. I just found that the Sanyo-so garden was designed by Japanese garden artist Jihei Ogawa, several of his works are registered by the government as an Important Cultural Property. And many of the buildings were designed by architect Togo Murano -recipient of the Order of Cultural Merit, considered equivalent to the highest rank (Grand Cordon) of the Order of the Rising Sun-. So no, this is NOT just any building, it is not a building for those looking for a typical Hilton, it is a masterpiece of Japanese design.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The staff were so friendly and helpful and surprised us with a beautiful cake celebrating our honeymoon! The room was immaculate and so nicely made up with great views and excellent use of space with so much storage. Excellent amenities and super comfy beds. The bathroom with private indoor/outdoor onsen was fantastic. The staff helped us book massages and taxi transfers. A perfect quiet retreat during our busy trip to Japan.

Beautiful surroundings, great location with a view on Mount Fuji. Members of staff are friendly. I would stay there any time when on Izu peninsula. Our private onsen (in the room) was great!

Breakfast buffet, Room service and gorgeous room and view of ocean, stunning sunrise from Onsen and room.. free upgrade and free gifts!! Thanks for your services and hospitality.

level of service and attention to detail is unparalleled. design and architecture is traditional and beautiful.

It was a great stay even though we only spent one evening here. The room was big and the private onsen bath is just so lovely on a cold day. The staff did not speak English but they tried hard to accommodate us. The in-room breakfast was exceptional. If anything, it's a bit of a distance from the train station, so would have to wait for the bus to come.

The staff was extremely friendly and very polite. The facility is incredibly beautiful and so traditional. We enjoyed one night including a very delicious breakfast to which they served a vegetarian option for my fiancé.

Everything was amazing, the view, the staff, the food, the room. I can’t wait to come back

This was an amazing hotel. The staff were incredible and looked after our every need. We stayed half board and the dinners were absolutely delicious. We loved every minute of our stay here.
