Shizuoka Prefecture hotels & places to stay

Originally booked a small double room, but the room allows smoking . I worry that may have smell so I remind hotel to ensure the room is refreshed . Hotel was so kind to upgrade me to a non- smoking double room. Thus it was super valued . The room has an excellent view which facing the sea and the pool ! The hotel also offer shuttle to Kawasu station! If you like to walk, it only takes 20 minutes from hotel to the cherry blossom seeing spot which is a pretty easy and pleasant journey. It rained heavily in one afternoon during my stay, luckily I stayed in this hotel which I can walked around the shop, library and use the Onsen !

For a 3.5-4 star hotel, the price you are paying for is considered value for money. Counter staff spoke enough english to facilitate with check-in. Its a 8-10 mins walk from JR Numazu station, but there's a bus stop directly outside the hotel if you know which bus to take. Will stay again if I come back to Numazu. For LLSS fans, hotel is decorated with lots of yohane goods once you enter. The river, shrine and yohane's apartment are just beside the hotel. Bus to Uchiura is directly outside the hotel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Shimoda Tokyu Hotel. I stayed one night in a double room with view over the ocean for a discount of more than 70% so it was cheap for this kind of service. The room was comfortable with great products in the bathroom, comfy robe, towels and bed linen, as well as free hot drinks and water bottles. The best part were probably the breakfast and the onsen with view over the ocean. What a dream! For extra fees, you can book massages and other beauty service. The lady who was there could speak English and really tailored the massage to my needs, which I really appreciated. Reception staff generally speaks (excellent) English but not everybody. I only wish I had knew that the hotel had a shuttle bus from / to the station as I walked to reach the hotel. It was a lovely walk but a very steep one, upon hills. I would definitely go back to Shimoda Tokyu Hotel if I can get the same deal.

We read a lot of review before booking this hotel. And the Hotel Associa did not disappoint us. The bus stop from Shizuoka Airport was directly in front of the hotel entrance. And it was so easy to visit any sites in Shizuoka. The JR Shizuoka Station was just next to the hotel. There were countless restaurants and stores inside the station itself. The breakfast was in buffet style and it was really good. We would recommend this hotel to anyone is seeking for reasonable price with great location hotel in Shizuoka!

We were surprised and amazed by the size of the room and comfort of the beds, I think my kids had their best night sleep in this hotel throughout my 8 days of stay in Japan. 2 queen beds + a baby cot, and sofa, and still lotsa space!! Bathroom was great too!! I think SPACE is really what kids like, they sleep better and longer hours. We adults are better rested too. Breakfast was Japanese style, suits adults more, my kids didnt' have much to eat. .. but still, I'm overwhelmed by the service and what the hotel offers. Customer service was great too, they provided kids packs for my kids and they loved it... with kids room slippers and some toys, hankies and sponge for shower. Very nice gesture. This is truly an underated hotel, so glad I booked a night stay here. Thank you staff of Mars Garden Wood Gotemba! I highly recommend anyone going to see Mt Fuji, u get a very good and clear view of Mt Fuji in Gotemba everywhere u walk/drive during Spring!!

My partner and I stayed in this lovely Ryokan for 1 night, and we couldn't be happier with our stay! The incredible hospitality started when we got on the shuttle van that picked us from the station. We got picked up by Ms. Watanabe who welcomed us with hot tea and warm towels in the van which felt perfect in the cold February weather. Once we got to the Ryokan we were welcomed by incredibly kind staff members and quickly completed our check in. We were taken to our beautiful room, equipped with an unbelievable private rock hot bath. The room was flawless, three air conditioners in each space kept the room nice and warm, and everything was tidy and comfortable. They really though of every small details to make our stay memorable! We decided to have dinner at the Ryokan, and we were SO happy we did! I am vegetarian, so I had some concerns, but lovely Ms. Ito and the rest of the staff made sure I'll have one of the best and most fulfilling meals I ever had in Japan! 10/10 experience!

I only came to Izu for the onsen experience and I probably came at a low-peak season as Izu was pretty much a ghost town. There was nothing to do in Izu anyway, it was just a small town with onsen hotels and a beach for surfers. I arrived at the station and the hotel's shuttle van driver was already waiting for my arrival despite me not making any pick-up arrangements. The hotel seemed empty but when I was ushered to my room, I guess I was only worried about nothing. Room is very clean, huge and I had an amazing view of the ocean! The staff here are friendly and I was pampered like a princess when they brought my meals to my room and prepared my futon before I turn in for the night. For an onsen town, the onsen at the hotel was only average as I have been to better ones. They had one indoors onsen with a view of the ocean and a smaller one outdoors, both on a high floor. There is no internet connection so I took it as a good opportunity to take a break from the outside world. But I succumbed to the lack of connection anyway by using the wifi connection that is only available in the lobby. Mosquitoes might be a problem here though but they have insect repellent for that. I guess my only regret is that I only stayed here for a night.

The hotel is located near to Gotemba station, approximately around 10 minutes walk. It is very convenient to reach the hotel. The room is well equipped with essentials. Toilet and bathroom, with bathtub, bathtub with warm water is all we need after a long walk and exhausted feet. My room is a twin bed room, but in my opinion, one bed is a slight wider than the another bed and maybe it can be for three middle sized adults. Morning breakfast is quite good. As far as I can remember, they provide rice, curry sauce, potato salad (I like it), some Japanese style vegetables that is served cold, vegetables salad with various sauce like mayonaise and sesame sauce, pork sausage, omelette, natto (fermented soybean), salmon or mackerel in several sauce, apple and orange juice, coffee and others I cannot remember. With this price, breakfast is a great addition to such a hotel so we can full our stomach with foods before our adventures of the day begin. Around the hotel, there were many small restaurants and convenience shop so it is very helpful to us. The weather during our stay which is in late September 2017 were really nice, a bit windy at days, and quite cold at night. The view from our room is beautiful, mountain view. If you are lucky, you can have a clear sky and full of mountain view, but I was not quite sure that it is Fujisan or another mountain around the area, but however, it is really still beautiful. From this hotel, we walk to Gotemba station and wait in bus stop for Kawaguchiko area. It took 1.5 hour to reach Kawaguchiko station to further ride several sightseeing bus from Kawaguchiko station to travel around mt.Fuji. The best Fujisan spot is from Kachi-kachi ropeway in Kawaguchiko lake, in Red line bus. At least that was my experience since I have limited time to go around Fuji. To sum up, this hotel is really nice and good. It location is in the middle between Hakone and Fuji. The best offer is you order Fuji-Hakone pass before your visit day to these

I had serious doubts about staying here purely due to its location and relying on the shuttle bus, but we went ahead and tried it anyway. And wow, we were so happy we stayed here. First, the free shuttle bus to-from Shizuoka station was quite frequent, say on a hourly basis or so. So, it worked out perfectly fine. The schedule is posted on their website, so you can check it out there with their map location too. Very easy. The shuttle bus departs 'ON THE DOT' though...so make sure you get there EARLY. They don't sit around and wait. Then, we got upgraded to the Twin Room with Mt Fuji view room. Wow..This has got to be one of the biggest rooms we've had in our entire trip, as far as japan standards and the view was just impeccable. What a great way to relax and have a cup of tea outside with such view. Expansive, relaxing and memorable. The room was very modern, natural light and clean. Ample toiletries in the bathroom. Very urban. The breakfast was a buffet in a gorgeous setting overlooking Shizuoka. They had a good selection of mix asian, not too Japanese, but also some western food. A very good balance. Probably one of the most expansive breakfast spread we've had in our entire trip. Do explore the property grounds for a walk and photo. It was really relaxing and beautiful. Would've loved to take my parents here. Hopefully next time :) Really happy about this choice. Thank you!

The hotel is one of the biggest in Mishima, only 10 minutes walking to the train station. We planed to go to hotel in Fuji Mt but hotel there was too expensive, and we found out Dormy inn. This hotel has excellence design, room space , bathroom, spa for free and super helpful staff ( I forgot to ask name of the you women at reception but she is one of the best). The view from hotel is awesome. From this hotel, you can catch the bus to Fuji san and Hakone or walking around. The breakfast is abundance of dishes, but not really delicious to me. Stay in this hotel, you will really relax and like to stay more.

Price is really affordable and hotel is clean and excellent location right near the JR Numazu station. Perfect location for exploring Numazu and if you are a Love Live-er then even better as a lot of the locations are around the area of the hotel. The free breakfast is excellent and the food is unbelievably good for no cost to you whatsoever and menu changes every morning so you never get tired of the same thing. Full amenities are provided and convenience store Family Mart is literally right outside the hotel.

Room: very clean and much bigger than any other hotel room in Japan. Huge bathroom! Location: there’s only one bus stop outside the hotel and the next bus terminal is about 1km walk away. So it’s quite troublesome if you traveling with children or big luggages. Staff: Super friendly and accommodating. On the second day, the staff on duty sent us to the bus terminal and ran to the bus just before the bus leave just so that we can catch the bus. On the day we checked out, one of the staff sent us to Gotemba station because he realized that we had 2 huge luggages and it was raining. It’s really an insane level of customer service. 👍🏼👍🏼 Food: breakfast was simple yet delicious. Food from restaurant was also yummy! Overall: a great place to stay that worth your every cents. Not sure why is not considered 3 or 4 star hotel.

For those traveling to Gotemba from Tokyo via the regular trains, this hotel is highly recommended because it sits across the train station. The station for buses going to and from Tokyo station is also very near. The room that we got is a bit small and looks old, but it had a very good view of Mt. Fuji. The bathroom had a tub and the hot water was working well. Water pressure was also good. Breakfast (buffet) was okay. Choices were limited, but the food tasted well. If I were to return to Gotemba, I'll still book this Hotel.

Staff was really nice and they were quick to respond my e-mail. I had my package sent to and from the hotel using Yamato and staff was really helpful and kind to help me out. I am genuinely grateful for your help. ありがとうございました! The room was spacious unlike other Japanese hotels. Mine was around 30+ sqm. Everything was clean. Bed was huge and comfortable. The reception area was also spacious. The restroom at the lobby was clean and no unpleasant smell even though there were a lot of guests, the booking was full, during my stay. It's quite near JR station but the sidewalks along the way were a little bumpy. And the hotel is in the city and is in walking distance to many places. A number of restaurants nearby, Family mart and the post office were just around the corner. Overall, a pleasant stay. I would definitely book this hotel once again if I visit Hamamatsu :)

The location is excellent, walking distance on the important places and easy to find. Staff are very helpful and accomodating and they speak english. The room is not that big but juat enough dor luggages. I love the bathroom, it is very important to me. The free breakfast is great, they have breads, egg, spam, sausages, burger patty, vegetable, cornflakes, coffee and juices. Highly recommended. I will stay here if I go back to Shizuoka. Cheers!

Lived in semi private economy cabin for women. Please noted that the ‘door’ of the room is only a curtain. There is no lock for the room. However, the hotel provides lockers for valuables. There’s a makeup room which provides hair dryers, hair tools, and cream for cleansing and moisture skin, impressive! Location of the hotel is fair. It is near the beach and takes around 10 mins walk from the Atami station. Convenient store is nearby with just 1-2 mins walk. Enjoyed the firework event which was held on the beach just near the hotel. All in all, the hotel is very clean and tidy, but slightly expensive for single tourist.

The hotel is far from Hakone and Gotemba. We got lost on our way because we didn't expect it to be far from Gotemba but upon arrival the staff were so accommodating and friendly that it melts our fatigue. We ask for a few favors from them and they comply with out extra charge, they were even sympathetic that we got lost. I would say that for a 3 star hotel the service is like that of a 5 star hotel.

- I like this hotel very much, so I would say the pricing is good value for its services. - Location-wise, the hotel is about 10 mins walk from the Izu-Hokgawa station. And the station is about 2 - 4 hours from the Tokyo station depends on if you missed the limited JR express train which is covered by one of the JR passes. - The room is an old-fashion japanese style room and clean. - Staff are extremely friendly and willing to help. They address my needs and questions. Though they may not have a good command of English, they will do their best to assist. And I think this is a good service. - Facilities, the hotel is mainly for onsen. They have two kind of onsen services. One is general, you can have access to the general onsen bath located at 1st(ground) floor unlimited time. The other one is special onsen bath, you are entitled for 2 sessions (50 mins long each) for 1 night staying. Basically, you get your own private onsen suite for 50 mins with a gorgeous open view of the sea. The town doesn't have much to offer. It only got a convenience store about 3 mins walk from the hotel and also one public shore side onsen bath place. I was looking for a quiet, ocean-view hotel with great food. And this hotel offers exactly what I looked for. I do really enjoy the quietness and the ocean view of this hotel. Most of my staying time was spent on staring the sea in my quiet window room and do nothing. It is as best relaxing as I love. A big plus also comes with the great food. The dinner and breakfast were amazingly good. I guess making a great seafood meal is halfway done when you have the freshest supply just two steps away. All in all, I would recommend this hotel and I will definitely come back.

This hotel is in a great location, being walking distance from the Shizuoka JR station and accessible from that station via an underground tunnel (with the exception of about 10 metres at the end). The rooms are much bigger than I expected and are well maintained. I was most impressed that when we were stuck in Shizuoka for an extra night due to a typhoon, the staff set up a room in the adjacent sister hotel that included cartoons and games for our kids and made everyone comfortable as we were pretty much unable to leave the hotel for the day. The breakfast was great too. My only complaint would be that I think at least for the rooms we stayed in, there would be room for a baby's cot or fold-up bed for a child or two. I stayed with my wife and two young children in two separate rooms as there was no option for a child's bed. I understand it is primarily a business hotel, but I believe it could easily accommodate small families in their existing rooms.

This hotel was easy to find after checking at the tourist office in the train station.It is under 10 minutes walk from there. The room and bed was quite small and the bathroom adequate for our 7 night stay but everything clean.There is a coin operated laundry on the 2nd floor and a restaurant near reception which we did not use. There is a very nice walk to be had along a nearby canal-ducks, turtles and a chance to practice your "hellos" with the local walkers.There is a 7/11 a minutes walk away and a big suoermarket located on a lower floor in the train station(one of many)The staff were friendly but reception was quite often busy with check-ins. It seems this is a popular hotel.

I was so careless that i wrongly booked a smoking room . I quickly go to counter to change room but it was full house on the weekend . The staff passed me a spray also in the room it has a Sharp Ion air purifier machine and we opened the window to pass thru the night . One of the staff which is not good in English , he used a translator gadget to help to understand what i am saying which is a plus point . Mount Fuji with clear view appeared just right in front of our room window the next morning. Nearby along the way has many restaurants .
