Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Toi Marine Hotel
7,2/10 Very good - Based on 279 reviews
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Toi Marine Hotel sits on the western shore of Izu, part of a group known for onsen hospitality. The hotel frames ocean views from most rooms and offers a mix of Japanese-style and Japanese-Western accommodation; select superior room types include a private open-air bath for in-room bathing. As a coastal ryokan, it markets options that let guests choose between private in-room bathing and larger communal onsen facilities, so visitors can tailor their stay to privacy or shared hot-spring experience.
Onsite bathing centres combine indoor hot-spring pools, open-air baths facing the sea and gender-separated large baths; the property operates public onsen with day-use options and provides towel rental and guidance on standard hot-spring etiquette. Spa amenities extend to a sauna and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and the hotel maintains a 24-hour reception and luggage storage to support arrival and departure flexibility. Several bathing areas and rooms with open-air tubs are arranged to prioritise ocean views at sunset and nightfall.
Meals are served in an all-you-can-eat buffet format with an emphasis on seafood and regional dishes, while a restaurant offers multi-course options; dining times and package combinations with onsen access are available. Facilities include onsite parking, complimentary Wi-Fi in public spaces and family- and group-friendly room arrangements, and the property is positioned for easy access to the coastal beach and nearby cultural sites. For travellers seeking a traditional stay in Shizuoka, the property functions as a ryokan with onsen Shizuoka and balances communal onsen culture with options for private bathing.

Negative Reviews
No or poor Wi‑Fi in rooms
Multiple guests reported lack of internet access or no Wi‑Fi in guest rooms, which was inconvenient for planning, research and reservations, especially for tourists.
Inconsistent food quality and service at buffet close times
While variety was appreciated, some reviewers found the food quality disappointing (notably sushi/sashimi), experienced poor replenishment late in service, or felt the dinner timing/service was too short.
Occasional cleanliness issues
A number of reviews mentioned cleanliness problems on arrival or areas not thoroughly cleaned, with at least one report requiring a later cleaning to resolve the issue.
Aged facilities and room equipment
Several guests felt parts of the hotel and room fittings were dated — old switches, worn areas and generally an older building feel — and suggested some modernisation without changing the character.
