Kamo Hotels with Bars

"I stayed for five nights and chose Imahama Tokyu Hotel over Shimoda Tokyu Hotel, mainly because it's within walking distance to the station, even without using the hotel shuttle. We arrived in Tokyo at 2 PM by plane, so we definitely missed the hotel shuttle. We took a train to Imahama station ourselves, but that station was a pain – no elevator, so we had to carry all our luggage down. Also, the Izu area at night can be a bit spooky with limited street lighting. Ms. Masaki, who checked us in, was very friendly. Later, she even provided emergency first aid for my family and me, which was much appreciated. However, some individual staff members at this hotel weren't very friendly towards foreign guests. Perhaps it's because they mainly cater to local tour groups. Some rude interactions made me uncomfortable, but this was only with a few staff members; most were friendly. Breakfast quality was decent and offered a good variety. Due to personal taste, my options were limited, but every morning there was a freshly prepared item, and they were all quite good. I especially liked the tempura fish and croquettes. The young man frying the croquettes was also very enthusiastic. This hotel also provides a microwave, ice machine, washing machine, and dryer. We didn't use the washing machine and dryer due to questionable hygiene concerns, but the microwave was very convenient. We'd often return to our room in the afternoon for a break and could easily heat up some simple food. The room cleaning service was excellent; it was spotless every day. My only regret is that the sofa bed was uncomfortable. When unfolded, the headrest area sank in, causing neck pain, unlike sofa beds in other hotels. Of course, Ms. Masaki did suggest upgrading to a room with a proper bed for an extra charge during check-in, but I decided against it due to the cost. Additionally, there were a lot of mosquitoes and flying insects in the summer here. We killed several mosquitoes and flies in our room and were bitten during breakfast. After the first night when we enjoyed the view from the balcony, we didn't dare open it again because there were too many bugs, especially at night. I suggest the hotel implements some pest control measures, like mosquito repellent lamps or wall-mounted insecticides (my family uses these every summer to treat our balcony walls)."

"The hotel rooms are spacious, clean, and hygienic. There's a self-service bar with drinks, a variety of alcoholic beverages, and snacks. You can also enjoy a hot spring bath on the cliffside and watch the sunset. It's definitely one of the top three hotels on the west coast of Izu!"

"Ambiance: The scenery is absolutely stunning! Stepping out onto the balcony from the French windows and being right in front of the sea is just incredibly relaxing. Cleanliness: The room was very clean and spacious. Facilities: All the amenities you could ask for, including hot springs, a heated pool, a restaurant, and a coffee shop. Service: The staff were very welcoming and enthusiastic."

"This hotel is a 10-minute walk from Izu Inatori Station, or you can request a hotel transfer, but we couldn't get through on the phone so we couldn't use that service. The beach is right outside the door, and it's also very close to Ginsui-so. A stroll in the evening is very pleasant. The open-air onsens are on the 3rd and 5th floors, but you can't see the sunrise from there. You can watch it from the beach downstairs or from the rooftop onsen on the 8th floor. It's absolutely beautiful. Both breakfast and dinner were incredibly rich and delicious; enough to fill two people completely. From 2 PM to 9 PM, there are free drinks available, including Sapporo beer, popcorn, and red bean mochi. Check-out is at 10 AM. Extending it until 11 AM costs 3300 JPY. The shuttle bus to the JR station departs at 9:20, 9:50, and 10:20 AM. There's an Aeon, McDonald's, and Daiso near the hotel, which is convenient for grabbing snacks."

"Thank you for your help with 3 family members. This is the second use. The food was so good last time that I brought my son this time. I think my son and I are quite sensitive to taste, but the food here was very satisfying. I think that the appetizer is different from other places, but it was a dish that made the best use of the ingredients without taking out each dish. The food was great in everything. Also, since it was hot water flowing directly from the source, I was able to relax in both the three private baths and the large communal bath. My husband has neuralgia, so I was happy to say that it was very effective for neuralgia. All the staff were attentive. I thought it was a wonderful inn with a history of nearly 100 years. I would like to visit you again."

"The hotel has a large public bath, and you can also reserve a private one. I recommend checking in early so you can book a good time slot and catch the sunset. Breakfast is a unique set menu, and it's very close to the station."

"This is the best hotel for this trip to Japan, and it is also the hotel with the best value for money. I will stay here for a few more days if I have the chance. The hotel is on a cliff by the sea, with new facilities and a sense of design. The rooms, restaurant and hot springs are decorated and arranged very carefully. All of them are sea view rooms, and the windows are large floor-to-ceiling glass, with an unobstructed view of the sea view, which is very enjoyable. The restaurant's breakfast and dinner ingredients are fresh, and the ingredients and plating are very particular. The main focus is on seafood, and the portions are full. The staff is warm, thoughtful and meticulous in their service. The hotel also provides free shuttle bus service from Atagawa Station to the hotel. It is a very cost-effective hotel, highly recommended"

"The staff are very polite and always willing to help. The room is big and comfortable. The sound-proof work is also effective, so I hardly hear any noise from rooms nearby. However, note that the hotel is in the middle of a mountain. If you don’t drive, you have to rely on the car service which the hotel offers (free of charge but not always available). It is almost impossible to go by foot. However, I must say the hotel staff has always tried their best to cater your needs, which I appreicate very much."
