Numazu Club

Absolutely elegant traditional style Japanese hotel. Every element was thoughtful and beautiful. Had dinner and breakfast, wonderful. Took a soak in the cedar tub which had a lovely smell from the wood. Just a very cool experience.

Not much...maybe a bit more bathroom mirror lighting.

サウナ、岩盤浴．露天風呂どれもプライベート感あり、ゆったり過ごすことができて幸せでした。 スタッフの皆さんも、対応が素晴らしかった。

Numazu Club was well worth the drive to Numazu just to stay there. I would not think of it as a hotel, nor an onsen, but rather a getaway. The rooms were modern, minimalistic and no small detail was missed. Expect personal interactions with friendly and attentive staff, from being greeted at the gate (car) to being checked in privately in your room. In our case the manager checked us in, as well as coming to check on us and other guests during breakfast and dinner. The breakfast and dinner in the teahouse should not be missed. It was exquisitely prepared and a sensation for all senses, do note that it is Japanese and Chinese fusion. You will be welcomed by locally produced treats and drinks, and definitely ask for turn down service to experience more local products. Our open-air bath added to the already tranquil and quiet atmosphere and I could sit on the balcony soaking up the sun for hours. There is not that much to do around Numazu, but if you like feeling at peace you won’t leave the accommodation anyway. There is a fish market with multiple sushi restaurants less than a 15min walk away, which we enjoyed for lunch.

None of this bothered us, but it might be good to note. There was no TV in the room, we didn’t miss it at all and barely touched the iPad we brought along. If you’re used to onsen hotels, this is not that. The facilities were modern and well thought out, like a spa, with an indoor and outdoor onsen for woman and an outdoor onsen for men. But it is very small, and luckily when we used it respectively we were both the only people there, otherwise it might be a bit close for comfort. Considering that there are only a few rooms on the property each equipped with their own private onsen bath, this shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.
