Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture hotel rooms at the Villa Fontaine

"It was an incredible experience. Traditional Japanese room, very clean with a view to the mountains. The staff were extremely kind and polite and the buffet food was great. The hotel is also located very close to the main attractions in Shuzenji so everything is walking distance. Also very close to amazing cafes and restaurants like honohono cafe. You can also take a bus and go to Mihama Beach to see Mt Fuji! Would come here again, 10/10. "

"Great facility, service and meals. Especially appreciate the front desk and restaurant staff who helped me find my lost purse and passport before checkout. It is really essential for our continued trip in Japan."

"The rooms are absolutely amazing and unbelievably beautiful. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The breakfast was very nice and traditional. They also provided traditional robes, socks, and sandals to wear to breakfast. There is not a lot of dining options around or much to do. If you have time, take a taxi to the bel-air park. I will definitely visit again. "

"Beautiful property. By the river. Extremely quiet and right in the centre"

"This time, our family of four (a couple with two young children) stayed on a room-only plan (no breakfast or dinner). Our room had an open-air hot-spring bath with free-flowing water straight from the source, so we could relax and enjoy a soak without leaving the room. In addition to the private open-air bath, the hotel also has a large communal bath, which we enjoyed as well. For dinner and breakfast, we indulged in seafood at local restaurants. The sunset was beautiful, too."

"Everything was beautiful! The Koi pond was one of the biggest highlights. The staff was incredibly helpful, even to English speaking visitors. The area was beautiful and quaint. This was a wonderful way to wind down after 10 days of nonstop walking and traveling across Japan!"
