Hello, this is Sandy Travel✈️✨
This time, we'll take a leisurely train ride from Shinagawa on the Odoriko train.
The goal is to develop a renovated resort in Ito, Shizuoka.KAWANA"
It seems like an old resort or something that has been renovated, and it has a mysterious charm that combines nostalgia and style.
Please note that this hotel is completely different from the nearby Kawana Hotel.
☁️ Even on a cloudy day, I was in a good mood. I was soothed by the luxury of hot springs and food.
Unfortunately, the first day we checked in was cloudy ☁️
First, check the room.
We stayed at MINAMO🌊
The amenities looked good at first glance, but as I will explain later, the Aesop was empty and there were no hair ties.
The facial pack wasn't very good either, and the quality and preparation were a bit disappointing for the price range.
After exploring the room, we toast with the Krug that was prepared for us beforehand. We drink a little and then head to the large public bath.
*Krug is not always available at the accommodation, so you will need to bring it in separately in advance.
It was cloudy all day, but the view was so beautiful that it made me forget the weather.Large public bath and sauna♨️is the best...!
A hot sauna and a cold water bath 💧 The tiredness of the journey is quickly relieved and I am in a state of "totonoi" 😌
*Because I had been drinking, I went to the sauna at a different time.
There is another private bath, but you can't see outside and it doesn't have a cold bath, so I recommend this one.
*It's probably not a hot spring...which is a bit disappointing for me as a hot spring lover.
※I also came to take a bath at 3pm on the second day and in the morning on the third day, but even though it was indoors, there were a lot of bugs floating around, so I started by cleaning them up lol
In the evening, enjoy a course dinner made with plenty of local ingredients.
The first one is local caviar!! 🦈
It was really delicious✨
Each dish is carefully prepared and tastes absolutely delicious!
The food is as good as, if not better than, any other luxury hotel.
This hotel is all-inclusive, so you can drink as much as you like during your meal, except for some wines.
I was very satisfied with the amount of alcohol and food🎣🍖🍾
Enjoying a meal while watching the ocean at sunset is just the thing.Luxury to be enjoyed with all five senses😍
I went back to my room, had a drink, and had a nice rest.
🐟 I was impressed by the “special seafood bowl” for lunch on the second day!
When I woke up in the morning, a cute guest was there 🐤
She said good morning to us so cute😍
And there are two more touching points.
First, the breakfast I was looking forward to!
I was so satisfied with the Kaiseki breakfast!!! It was delicious!!!😍
They were also very particular about the rice, and only served us the finest quality rice🍚🥢
And a pleasant surprise!
This plan was for 2 nights and 3 days, including breakfast and dinner. In other words, there was no lunch, but
We had decided to stay in the hotel, but the hotel staff told us at noon on the second day.A specially prepared "Seafood Bowl"✨
The sashimi is so plentiful that I was excited the moment I saw it⬆️
Of course, the taste was outstanding and it was a reward lunch beyond imagination.
🌊 The sea in front of the hotel is crystal clear and there are lots of fish!
Take a morning stroll to the seaside.
The sea spreads out in front of the hotel,Truly amazing transparency
If you look closely, you'll see lots of fish swimming around your feet...it's like a natural aquarium.
No, there aren't many colorful fish, so it's probably a natural fish tank 😆
It's hard to convey because the weather wasn't that good, but even though the sea was a little rough, you could still see how clear it was!!
🕙 A point that was a bit disappointing
During this wonderful stay, I will be honest and say that there were a few things that bothered me.
- Between 10:00 and 15:00The large public bath is not availableOn the second day, I was a bit bored. I should have done some research before going out.
- It was supposed to be limited to two groups per day,It is difficult to connect to the receptionThe return call is also a little slow. WiFi is also difficult to understand, and you have to look up the password for the room's router and enter it yourself.
- There are no hair ties in the amenitiesThere were some details that were lacking, such as the refusal to refill the Aesop bottle even when it was empty.
- There's a swarm of bugs in the private bath...where are they coming from inside the house?
- No breakfast style confirmationOn the third day, despite my preference for Japanese food, I was served Western food (it was delicious but a bit heavy...)
*Basically, if you don't ask or request something, they will leave it all up to them and bring out things they don't like!
Still, I was able to have a wonderful stay that more than made up for it, and I'm grateful to everyone at the hotel.
🧳 Overall Review: A relaxing trip for adults, combining kindness and luxury
Overall,The charm of this resort can be clearly felt.It was a stay
Even though the weather wasn't great, we were able to fully relax during our three-day, two-night stay, enjoying the baths, sauna 🧖, delicious food, and the sea right in front of us.
However, if you want to call yourself a "premium" hotel, you need to go one step further and improve your service.
I also thought that the speed of response would make it even more appealing.
However,Couples and married couples who want to relax and unwind in nature,
The spacious rooms are perfect for families and friends traveling together.
When making a reservation, we will confirm your wishes and concerns by email or phone,
It's a great destination to reset your mind and body.
The price for two nights was as follows! It was quite a reasonable price,
The maintenance was not very good, so I would say I would recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ out of 5💡
