Izu Hokkawa Seaside Guesthouse 伊豆北川の家

Spotlessly clean, with warm and welcoming staff. Right by the sea, and within walking distance of both the hot spring and the train station.

The only small issue was that the lower bunk is a bit low, so it’s easy to bump your head.

房间干净整洁，离车站也很近，关键是老板提供很多附加服务，早上送到附近景点，节省不少时间，晚上接送附近非常棒的可看海景的日归温泉，还推荐参观，费用很合理，这些对于旅行的人来说提供了非常高的附加值，非常值得推荐。

这家店附近有便利店，但是不是24h那种，最好提前准备早餐以免第二天早上不知道吃什么。

I had such a relaxing time here. I was lucky as the first two nights of my stay I was the only guest. There’s not much in this little town, but great if you need a peaceful getaway. The owner was kind enough to drive me to the station with my luggage when I checked out!

There aren’t really any restaurants nearby, but that is of no fault of the property.

Genuine house. Helpful staff. Close to the onsen and the train station.

The lower bank bed is really too low. You can’t even sit down. The price is a too high for what you get.

- Accueil désagréable. Hôtes quasi absents. La personne qui nous a accueillis parlait uniquement mandarin, elle a été glaciale et expéditive. Communication difficile et aucune recommandation. - Maison vétuste. Strictement aucune isolation, tout s'entend. J'ai pourtant l'habitude des auberges, y compris japonaises. Mais ici rien n'est fait pour faciliter notre confort. Beaucoup de rafistolage. - Emplacement sans intérêt. Village totalement désert, aucun restaurant ni supérette après 20h, pas d'éclairage public, c'est limite glauque. Nous avons dû marcher 30mn le long d'une route nationale pour trouver un Lawson ouvert le soir. Certes, la gare est proche, mais la plupart des trains express ne s'y arrêtent pas, et elle n'est desservie que 1x par heure environ. De plus le chemin pour la gare est très raide, peu adapté aux bagages.

I wanted a retreat stay to take a break from work in the cities with people – and this place was ideal for that. I could hear ocean waves all the time, and btw I was alone, so I felt like at home completely! There is great place outside the house in front of the shop to busk in the sun in the morning. Also the area is very nice, and the position of station and accessability had a charm in it – going uphill to reach the station and seeing great view from there. Magical (I was also lucky with the weather!)

Wasnt a problem for me but: there are fishermen doing noisy work really early (like 6 am)
