JOYinn

The rooms provided were very cozy, a decent bit larger than I expected, and felt like more of a room I would have at home than a hotel. Bed was comfortable, and each room had its own bathroom in the corner and microwave. The host was very kind and even sent me some recommendations on places to visit in the area on his own accord, which I greatly appreciated as someone who was traveling to the Izu Peninsula at a whim. I also contacted the host prior to my stay for some complications on my end and for car parking, and he was more than accommodating on my accidental need to shift in schedule, and I was easily able to park right outside of the hotel.

The hotel is admittedly further out from the central areas of Izu-Kogen, which for commuting during daylights is not bad since the host offers a shuttle service. However, it does sound like it would be a bit of an issue if you have no means of personal transportation, as businesses like the convenience stores and pharmacies not in closer walking proximity.

Un accueil très chaleureux et attentionné. Les chambre avec 2 lits doubles ont une vue fantastique. Une très bonne adresse!

everything！ free shuttle for pick up and for the attractions around. The host is so nice and get me great suggestions.

What a gem! We absolutely loved our stay here. Our room had a spectacular view of the water and mountains. We watched both sunset and sunrise. Incredible. The room was spacious, bed really comfortable, water hot and WiFi good. We had a table and chairs, microwave, fridge and kettle. Our host, Tack, picked us up from the station and gave us such a warm and friendly welcome. We had 2 nights here but wished it were more. JOYinn is a lovely property. Such good value. It is in a quiet street which made for an excellent sleep. The property website was very helpful too. Tack is an amazing host, so helpful. He drove us to Mt. Omuro and explained how to get back. Also drove us to a local restaurant for dinner on our last night and picked us up. Be aware there is no breakfast or dinner provided at JOYinn. You need to bring your own food with you. We purchased some at Izu Kogen station and Tack kindly stopped at a convenience store, on the way to the property, so we could buy a few more items. This worked well for us. We had been in Japan for a month and JOYinn was our last stay apart from 1 night in Tokyo. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay to end our trip. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and Tack made it a special occasion. Izu Kogen and JOYinn are definitely a must for any itinerary. Thank you Tack. James and Lavinia
