Villas in Inatori

We stayed in the two bedroom house. We were somewhat apprehensive when looking at the Google maps view, but were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The location is right on the waterfront, with a beautiful, well shaped 300 year old pine in the front. The living room opens onto the private yard from which you can either watch the sea or walk along a narrow causeway. It’s a short walk into the quiet township. We based ourselves here for 2 nights while exploring the the Izu peninsula. We met the proprietors in their small adjacent coffee shop and after a thorough orientation helped us by booking a local restaurant for dinner that night. The house itself was very new, and very spacious. It is comfortably appointed with a small kitchen, spacious Japanese style bathroom and bedrooms. Being able to spread out and enjoy the view was a great way to relax at the end of the day. Memorable stay.

The house, which is a large, two story old building that was likely originally for a two-generation family, is beautiful inside. The first floor has two large tatami rooms next to a hallway with large windows. There are futons in the closets for extra guests. It also has a spacious kitchen/living room with a comfortable small sofa and large wooden table that could easily accommodate 6 or more people. The bathtub is large and stone, with onsen water. It takes a while to fill up, but is a lovely experience to enjoy. Upstairs is another kitchen/living room area that is L shaped. In the living-room end, four beds are laid out (two were pushed together to make one large bed). They are incredibly comfortable with warm feather comforters. There is an additional tatami room with a large bed and a small room where one could telework with another wrap-around sofa and a small wooden table. The internet is spotty in the town itself, but fast in the house. Outside is a lovely hinoki foot bath for two people. Outside is a large kawazuzakura (sakura) tree in the parking area, which means that you can enjoy the flowers without having to even go to the riverside! It is truly just steps away from the house. We were very grateful for the excellent location, as most travelers stayed in ryokan farther away from this central location, and perhaps as a result, the area became more sparce in the late afternoon/early evening. This allowed us to enjoy the cherry blossoms along the avenue by the road to the fullest. Despite being right next to a road where lots of tourists pass, it is very quiet in the house, and at night (by 9PM) the roads are almost completely devoid of both cars and people. The house is extremely clean. There are a few small areas, like the bathroom sink, that look less clean, but this is just because the house itself is old, and should not cause anyone concern.

Everything excellent

Cleanliness and availability of kitchen tools. View over the ocean is great.

Great location in pleasant surroundings. Plenty of space and we made good use of the indoor onsen

Cleanliness and location

The property is spacious and clean and is within walking distance to the train station, convenience stores, grocery stores and drugstores

Traditional, well equipped for cooking. Comfortable and projector screen a bonus.

Panoramic view of water (Sagami Bay) and a wide patio outside, spacious living area to relax, perfect for group of friends or family. Good value for money. Clear instructions to door code for key, parking, prior to arrival. Quick response of communication with all questions. Kitchen adequate with appliances and utensils for easy meals. (There's a BBQ set up outside which we didn't use.) Nice private parking. Peaceful and secluded. Located just off HWY 135, short drive to village (Inatori) for meals but be aware most of them close early some even at 7 pm! A nice restaurant nearby (within walking distance) 網元 closes at 3/4 pm except Sunday (7.30 pm).
