Izu Nagaoka Kinjokan

Second night half price — our family of six stayed in the Annex Special Suite.Wasn’t it supposed to be two Japanese-style rooms (10 and 8 tatami mats)?There were also 3- and 6-tatami rooms, a private indoor hinoki bath, and even a tea-room-like space.And at 8,000 yen per person per night with a buffet breakfast and dinner — plus all-you-can-drink alcohol at dinner.As Itoen fans, we rate it a perfect 5 across the board!We’ve decided to come back.I don’t think anything else can beat this value for money.

It was my first stay in a while, and it was still a wonderful Hotel. At check-in, the female front desk staff member who was in training assisted me very politely with a warm smile, and I felt right then that I was glad I had made the Reservation. All of the other front desk staff, restaurant staff, housekeeping team, and Facility staff were also pleasant.I believe staff service is extremely important. The guest room was very spacious, well cleaned, and comfortable.The only issue was the air conditioning: perhaps it is centrally controlled, but even when I turned it on it did not run at all. During this in-between season with mild temperatures, that could be inconvenient.There are two large public baths—one in the main building and one in the annex—and I enjoyed both. The meals were also delicious, with Itoen Hotel’s reliably good menu.I would love to stay again. Thank you for your hospitality.
