“Great place for solo travelers.”

Central spot in Shuzenji Onsen, helpful and friendly staff, great vibe, and a separate room for women.

The village itself was stunning and far surpassed what we expected—probably one of the most beautiful places in Japan we've seen so far. Jamie, who was working that day, was very friendly and took the time to walk us through the village. Staying at the hostel either gives free access to a nearby onsen or a big discount to another onsen in the village; we chose the latter and were very satisfied. There’s a nice common area and kitchen to hang out. Overall, excellent value for money and highly recommended.

A warm welcome, centrally located and convenient for a single night in the area, plus a half‑price offer for the town centre onsen. The bed felt a bit firm, especially if you’re prone to back pain.

“Izu it's Me!”

The location was excellent and the onsen next door was superb. The building was clean, the staff were friendly, and the overall environment was pleasant. However, the sleeping pad was hard and uncomfortable, making sleep difficult, and the pillow was very soft with little support. If you have hypermobility or soft‑tissue concerns, this might not be ideal.

“The staff were really really wonderful!”

The team was genuinely friendly and had our luggage ready when we arrived; check‑in was straightforward and they replied quickly. The hotel sits beside a lovely river and a shop‑filled street. The twin room we used had a slight slope or hole in the floor, but it didn’t bother us much. We got lost trying to find the men’s toilet and didn’t use the restrooms enough to comment on them. The biggest issue was transportation: no night buses or Go‑Taxi service, so we had to rely on Uber. The nearest convenience stores were a 15‑minute walk, which is acceptable, but the area has many steep inclines and declines.
