The sea view from the open-air bath in the room is the best. This alone makes me very satisfied.There are some comments about being so close to the beach that you're worried about being seen, but as long as you don't get too nervous, there's no problem. It's okay if you take a soak in the bathtub when there's no one around. The same goes for when you leave.I wrapped myself in a bath towel, took a rest on the sofa next to the bathtub, drank a beer, and took another bath. There were hardly any people walking in the evening or in the morning.You won't be able to experience such an open-air open-air bath with a room anywhere else. I've been to some very famous inns in Izu with open-air baths, but Sazane's proximity to the sea is overwhelming. Both my husband and I were very satisfied.I will go again!

The first time I went was last November, when my wife made a reservation for us because we could see the ocean from the hot spring bath in our room, and it felt so good that we visited again in July of this year. The feeling of looking at the ocean and soaking in a hot spring without thinking about anything is amazing! The staff members are also friendly and make you feel comfortable. The food is plentiful, delicious, and satisfying.

I stayed here as a couple.The spacious and nice room, the large open-air bath, the ocean view, the customer service, everything was really wonderful!It was cloudy when I went, but luckily I was able to clearly see Mt. Fuji from the open-air bath.The food was carefully selected and creative, and everything I ate was delicious, and even the iced tea I had after the meal was the best I've ever had in my life.The sea is right in front of the inn, so it was nice to be able to walk on the sandy beach right from the stairs of the inn in the morning.It's true that when you go out on the beach, you can see the inn's balcony, but for those who are concerned about being seen naked, they also have women's bathing suits available. (I took a bath naked without any clothes on lol)Also, since it's an inn that doesn't allow children, most of the guests are quiet (it's important to have a good customer base), so it was really nice to be able to spend a relaxing and quiet time.To put it simply, one reviewer said that the inn accepted a guest who had brought a baby by force, so it was noisy and it was difficult to relax. We will no longer accept such customers in the future so that we can have a good time! Do you want me to refuse?If you can do that, I would love to hear from you again.

This is my first time staying here.Hmm, the view from the room is greatListening to the sound of the ocean while taking a bath is very relaxing.Good layout and easy to useHowever, I don't think it's as good as everyone says.At check-in, we will meet you at the parking lot and take your luggage.However, when I checked out, there was no one at the front desk, so when I rang the doorbell, someone came out.Thank you very much, but I don't really want you to carry your luggage, so it doesn't matter, but what is the difference between going there and returning? right?There is a mask holder for dinner, but not for breakfast, so it feels very half-hearted.Dinner is all normal.There wasn't a single thing that struck me as delicious.I was surprised at how delicious the sashimi was.The freshness is good, but the presentation is very disappointingAppearance is also very important, so I think it would be better to be a little more creative.It's a waste.Charcoal-grilled wagyu beef. The meat had a strong odor, and the sauce that came with it was like the sauce for ready-made yakiniku, so I didn't feel like eating it and left it.Although they use high-quality ingredients such as puffer fish and shark fin, it is disappointing.Mandarin oranges and sorbet for dessertMandarin oranges for seasonal fruits? ? At a hotel that charges a certain amount? The feeling is strangeThere was also sherbet in the room, so I thought it was because the cost was cheap.Alcohol free in the loungeI don't think there's much point in drinking it if you can't drink it unless it's after dinner.I'm not impressed as the free fridge is a given at this price.Many of the staff members are foreigners, and I often don't understand what they're saying, which is tiring.For these reasons, it is not a highly recommended accommodation.However, the view from the bath is really nice, so I would like to visit again if the dinner is even better.I would like to visit after some time and when the head chef changes.

Anyway, the room is spacious, the ceiling is high and the room is very nice.The open-air bath in the guest room was nice, but it's a shame that you have to close the window because you can see people on the beach.It's difficult to walk in while looking at the scenery when there are other people around. (quite close)I think you can see the sea because there are people fishing on yachts. I was worried.All the drinks in the fridge were free, which was nice.I didn't notice any insects due to the time of year, but there was mosquito spray, so I wonder if there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer.

Apart from the cleanliness of the room, the location was great.As for the food, the sashimi is delicious, and the rest is okay.It was nice that ice cream and drinks were provided in the refrigerator, but the ice cream (Haagen-Dazs) was half-eaten.It's disgusting and impossible, so I wrote it on the questionnaire at the hotel, but I haven't heard anything back even after 7 months.I doubt the hospitality of the inn.

The accommodation I've always wanted to go toI went there on my wedding anniversary because the Yuumi of the series was good!I'm already very satisfied ❤Large enough for moderationHigh ceilings add to the sense of opennessBeer in the open-air bathAll dinners are delicious and elegantly seasoned.The midnight snack cutlet sandwich is delicious and alcohol-free too.This is an inn for adults where you can relax and spend time listening to the sound of the waves.I also enjoyed the sake I received for my anniversary.Excellent hospitality tooI definitely want to go again

The location was great, and although the weather was unfortunate, it was my first time to experience the sea flowing against the wind. In the early morning of the second beat, Mt. Fuji could be seen faintly.The food was delicious, and since I was alone, I was told that the cost of accommodation would be 1.5 times as much. All of the yukata rentals were dull colors and I didn't feel like wearing them, so I declined them. Is the material of the in-house wear made of rayon? Is it brown and beautiful? I would like it to be crisper and cleaner.For some reason, the bathrobe is also brown, and is basically white. I didn't use this either.

The scenery was very nice and the food was delicious!I was a little worried because there were some passers-by on the beach, but nothing really bothered me.This is the perfect inn to spend your time relaxing and listening to the sound of the waves ☺︎The foreign staff were also very polite and pleasant.
