The room was spacious and clean. Bathroom and shower/bath were also clean. The host was really helpful and nice!

Some of us had to sleep on mattresses on the floor

The host was very nice and helpful even though he wasn’t very experienced with English. He always prepared a hot bath tub for when we returned. The place was clean and welcoming. The tennis court was also very nice.

Location and accommodation are amazing. The host went above and beyond by offering to drive us from the train station when we got lost late at night (don't use Google Maps, instead go to the Booking.com website and select 'Get Directions' for accurate navigation). Kawazu is a beautiful, peaceful area and the waterfalls were accessible by bus and a short walk. Highly recommend.

styling and location

Stayed in January 2025

A quiet and clean place with a few rooms for those looking for privacy. A real experience of staying in a small japanese town not so crowded with tourists. Close to a good public onsen and a natural thermal where you can relax soaking your feet in warming waters. Also close to the bus stop that takes to the 7 waterfalls park. I am very grateful to the owner who had sent me by international post a collectors item I could only find in Japan and forgot at the hotel.

20m walk from station, very infrequent buses.

Spacious room, useful kitchen area.

My stay was fantastic! The location was stunning, and the rooms were both tidy and spacious. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful, even allowing us to check in earlier than expected. Since it's a small town and many places close around 4:30 PM, the host went above and beyond by offering us a ride to Seven Waterfall, ensuring we didn’t miss out on the experience. They drove us to the perfect spot, and without their help, we likely would have missed it. Truly a memorable stay.

There is nothing we didn’t like. It was a great place to stay!

The owner is very friendly and helpful. Very nice location close to the beaches of Shimoda and the seven waterfalps of Kawazu

We travelled to Kawazu in mid-summer to go to the 7 Waterfalls (which was amazing, you MUST do it when you're there, and make sure you go in the onsen at the bottom waterfall... a highlight of our trip to Japan). The host was lovely, friendly, and gave us plenty of privacy. It's quite a walk from the station, and if going again I would get a taxi or bus with our big suitcases (we walked... it was ok, very flat, but quite a long way). The room was nice, the aircon worked well, and we had space to eat and prepare our food from the supermarket in town. The facilities are a little old, but everything is clean, neat, and works properly. The house is linked into the local geothermal water system so that the bath that the host prepares in the evening is proper onsen water, completely private, and great for people who might otherwise not be able to attend onsens because of tattoos. The town is so quiet and sleepy at this time of year. Friday night there wasn't even anyone driving around! If you're travelling around Japan this is a great place to stay, as it's not the big city type experience. We don't speak Japanese, but this was not a problem.

it was a really nice stay. The host is respectful and helpful. I felt very comfortable. it's not that easy to reach if you don't have a car but it's worth it if you're staying in Kawazu. I used as base to explore also the Seven Falls and Shimoda.

Everything was perfect

Clean and cozy hotel. Owner is a great and kind person who helped us during our stay!

The host went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and even personally drove us up to the Waterfall that we had come to Kawazu to see. He made us coffee each morning. The water from the bath is from the Mine Onsen which is a local Onsen. There is also a Tennis court. He is the loveliest man we met in Japan.

The owner is humble, helpful, polite, kind, respectful, generous man. He gave us a ride to the 7 waterfalls as well he gave us a ride back to the train station because it was pouring rain on the day of our departure. The suit we stayed at was traditional Japanese and we had a private onsen just for us 2 on request. It was magical experience. The owner shared with us his fruits from his garden. Unique experience the best in Japan. We wish him all the very best and long and happy life.

Even though we arrived late and It was night outside it’s nice to get from the train station on the road near the river. The owner speaker little English but we managed to understand each other and he is really nice. He prepared the onsen bath for us. The accommodation is nice and clean. There are also some restaurants close in walking distance.

Good place to stay with great price. Was the only guest during my stay. The host was very nice. The room is spacious clean and comfortable. There are parking spaces, nice onsen bath, and lots of amenities you can use. There are some local eating places nearby.

Basic but clean facilities, shared kitchen and bathroom, onzen with water from nearby hot spring, free tea/coffee ... a perfect price/performance ratio! I was cycling Izu peninsula, they even had a dedicated spots for the bikes. And the onzen was perfect to recover and relax.

Peaceful and quiet location, in a very local neighbourhood with a great izakaya nearby. Also convenient to travel by bus for sightseeing. Owner is friendly and helped with a lift to the train station.

After arriving by train to Kawazu Station, we had to walk around 20 minutes in the dark to reach Pension Rally, but this was nonetheless a pleasant walk, mostly along the river. Overall, our stay was an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

Free on-site onsen bath Extremely well maintained tennis court (available free to guests for 2 hours per day) Laundry possible (no extra charge) Friendly, accommodating and helpful manager Beautiful surroundings
