Can be a bit noisy since it's a traditional house; can hear people talking in other rooms.

Nice private onsen, nice view from the window in the bedroom. Amazing price.

Beautiful building, very nice and comfortable common spaces. Great to have onsen inside and the location is good. You have to keep in mind tho that it’s a typical Japanese old house so the sound isolation is what it is.

A bit dusty - if you had severe dust allergies, I might not recommend this place - not sure if it was from the building or the mattress.

We had a private room overlooking the river, even a little patio. Staff was really friendly and helpful. There was lots of common space to eat, relax, work. Never had an issue with the shared bathroom or shower - was always able to make the timing work. Lovely and affordable way to stay in a real ryokan.

Bathroom was mixed, not a big deal and there were not many western style toilets on the same floor, although I never clashed with anyone.

Great value for private room, the lounge area was cool and there was free tea available. It was very peaceful, and the futons were very comfortable. Despite the thin walls we slept very well in the beautifully decorated room.

1. very far to the supermarket/donki Need to walk 1.5km to donki and it’s the closest supermarket nearby 2. No elevator. I lift my luggage from the floor to 3/F 3. There’s no bed and you just sleeping next to strangers.

1. 10mins to JR station and 2-3mins to bus station 2. Onsen is good (public onsen will be better than the private onsen) 3. The kitchen is complete 4. The common area is excellent, very comfy. 5. The staff is helpful

Onsen, location, rooms, lounge area and kitchen area were all excellent. Easy to get to from Ito station.

It was a bit noisy because of some loud guests but also the wooden construction of the building.

Convenient location, large room and friendly staff

The beds in long run Will destroy my back but still it is what it is, it's traditional way to sleep.

Exellent and awesome at the same time! Tatami floors everywhere make nice quiet feeling. Onsens was awesome. Puplic areas was clean and zen. I hope that the turism dont ruin this nice old place.

The view over the river and the location were both impeccable, super easy to reach from Ito Station and in the most picturesque area, right next to the famous museum which is the main attraction of Ito, along with its Onsens of course.

Beautiful, it was exactly what we were hoping for and more. It felt like we’d gone back in time to old days in Japan. Good location with convenient stores, bars and restaurants within walking distance. We drove here and were able to stay in a public car park across the road for a small price per night. The private and public onsen were also relaxing and cosy.

Loved our stay here. Beautiful historic building, great facilities and friendly staff. We chose to stay in Ito (rather than Hakone) because of this accommodation and were so pleased we did. Access to Hakone was super easy. Fabulous onsen (private and shared). Exceptional value for money.

You can’t get a cheap shared hostel like this anywhere else in Japan. Located in a rejuvenated Ryokan built a hundred years ago, you’ll get to enjoy the old good Japanese style accommodation soaked in the beautiful wood scent with the minimum cost. Plus there is personal furo that you can use for free, if you don’t like the Japanese shared bath.

The staff was super friendly and the space itself was gorgeous. Very scenic and perfect way to end our trip in Japan.

We had a great time at K's house and enjoyed the nice onsen. We had a large room for 3 of us, Ryokan style with the nice view on the river. The staff was nice and friendly and provided useful info.

Paid parking. But is suppose it is inevitable, the hotel is well located

A very nice, historic building next to the river. Very friendly staff. Nice, spacious public areas to eat and to relax. Next to the river. We'll equipped communal kitchen. Vert nice onsen. Good value for money.

We absolutely loved it. The onsen, the river, the whole town:just great and a perfect place to relax after having been in a busy city like Tokio

We loved the onsen and the kitchen facilities were excellent for cooking. We had toast and jam abd fried eggs for breakfast. The staff are friendly and kind. We visited Izu and rnjoyed the coastal walk and Teddy Bear museum.

Found bending a bit hard but expected for hostel

Closeness to outdoor onsen (12 minute walk), so many amazing areas within the facility. Friendly staff. Many restaurants close by. Beach close by.

The details are beautiful, the overall experience was amazing. Our first night was quite windy out and the windows shook and made quite a racket, but they provide ear plugs and that did the trick!

The fridge in my room didn’t work which wasn’t a problem as they have a shared and well equipped kitchen. Some of the lights didn’t work which was a bigger problem as you are on show like in a fishbowl from people strolling across the riverside. The facecloth and yukata is only available for rental which is unusual for a Ryokan.

Amazing historic property with windows overlooking the river, this comes with some noise especially from westerners not used to be quiet. The onsen is a really good one with natural spring. Common areas are pretty, spacious and welcoming. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.

The place was great, even better than expected. We had a room with a nice view of the river, and easy access to both private and shared onsen. The house is quite big, includes also a pretty nice lounge area, where you can relax and enjoy the traditional vibe of the house. Quiet, well located, easily accessible, with friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed in March 2024

I think the onsen area could be improved.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The historical building and the interior with all of the sitting spots was well done. The kitchen facilities were clean and well stocked and the AM coffee was very much appreciated.
