Independent Izu Oshima hotels

"The room had an incredible ocean view. The breakfast was extensive and interesting. It would have been helpful to have a little more explanation in English of how to prepare for going into the onsen. We were provided with yukutas (robes), obis (belts) and haoris (vests that go over the yukutas), which we learned we should wear with slippers to the public places in the hotel, including the lounge, dining room and down to the onsen (hot spring). We would have appreciated a few more nuts or other snack selections during happy hour. The dessert hour selections were extensive. A couple of helpful tips: the hotel offers a shuttle bus from the Izu-Inatori train station until 7 pm. If you don't pre-book dinner at the hotel, there are restaurants nearby, but the walk to them is dark and the road is twisty. We took a cab to an excellent Korean BBQ restaurant called Tora No Ana and then walked back to the hotel. A really wonderful, authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. Google Translate is your best friend."

"Very nice staff, room was spacious and had panoramic view of the ocean and the food was excellent. Second time staying and will be back. "

"Wow.. What a wonderful stay! The staff was courteous, professional and kind. Room was kept tidy my entire stay. The rooftop onsen was sublime, the bowling alley was an awesome surprise, the hotel was accessible to gorgeous Jogasaki coastline and the views were immaculate. I left refreshed and inspired. To the Akazawa hotel I give my sincerest arigatou gazaimasu! "

"Great"

"Room was very comfortable "

"Brisa Marina was great. Old but loved the historic atmosphere in Kawana hotel. Scenery of Fuji course is wonderful."

"The hotel has excellent facilities, in particular with private outdoor hot spring water bath, which is very enjoyable. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is excellent, but little too expensive. The hotel also has shuttle bus to the train station. Some facilties need proper maintainence, such as basin. Cleaness could be improved. Overall, this is a good hotel."
