Yawatano Onsenkyo Morinoyu Kiranosato

Absolutely loved my stay, from start to finish. I had high expectations as I treated myself to the half board for 1 night, and that was something I really wanted to experience while in Japan. I found others to be much more expensive, and the price at Kira No Sato was more so in my range - but really good value for money and didn't compromise on quality at all. First of all, it's easily accessible by train from Tokyo. You just need to do one change at Atami. Then, a shuttle picks you up from Izu Kogen, if you do time it right. Easy to find as well as they have a banner with the name of the ryokan. The staff is really hospitable, and they do speak good English. Great amenities. It's in some sort of village set-up, and super pleasant to stroll by. You basically wear the clothes the ryokan provide for you, and it's super comfy - with different sizes available. The room was great and of good size - you can admire the tranquil sea. Little snacks and coffee as a welcoming gift, great tea/coffee ware. Comfortable bed. You get a shower in the bathroom as you will enjoy the onsens anyways. re: the onsens, you get a really good variety of them. You get a few private ones you can lock, and these are amazing. But then, the public ones are amazing too - and really spacious, so you don't feel it's crowded at all. Food was really delicious and very filling - I had dinner and breakfast, you can choose between 2 options each time, and order drinks from the menu. The staff is very professional and reactive, they were able to communicate in English and explain the whole menu to me. Bonus: you get snacks during the day - and ramen for free in the evening, if you are still hungry! Highly recommend and will stay there again.

I honestly did not really know what I was expecting before my arrival. But this place is a lot bigger than I thought! It's fantastic. I love the garden and the trees. It was fantastic to just wander around. Enjoy the snacks that are offered from time to time. We loved how friendly the staff were. Our little apartment was perfect for our stay. Loved the little tatami area in our place where we could enjoy our green tea. The breakfast was divine; I would definitely recommend the Japanese style breakfast over everything. The onsen was awesome. So relaxing. There are private baths as well. But I would not really recommend them.

Can't think of anything! Other than the fact that it is maybe a bit too expensive. Not sure if the value was fully there

Горячие купели классные

Номера старые, требуют обновления

Nestled into lush greenery. Very helpful staff. Explanation of property and offerings was very nicely organized. Shuttle from Izu-Kogen station was great addition to value of the stay. Peaceful.

First shuttle in the morning was at 9:15 am. Didn’t ask so maybe our fault, but an earlier shuttle, like 8 or 8:30, would have been nice.

The place is charming in the middle of nature with nice baths

The staff was rude, unwelcoming and not helpful very below Japanese average standards (except for the staff at the restaurant who was very nice and helpful). We have been in this hotel many times and the staff is not checking his own records and the facilities are not properly maintained. Sad to see that in only a couple of years the facilities have declined although it would only take a couple of capex to maintain the initial standard.

the house is very old

Lovely stay but we booked this place several weeks ago as it was advertised on the site as having vegetarian options and we told only a few days before our trip that our diet could not be accommodated. I get that Japan is not so used to supporting vegetarians but it would have been easy to offer a tofu alternative. Sending this note just a few days before meant that options to book elsewhere were limited. The grounds were a lot older and less plush than the photographs suggested for the cost. We did really enjoy the onsen facilities though as a family.
