KKR Numazu Hamayu
7,6/10 Very good - Based on 35 reviews
KKR Numazu Hamayu sits on the Numazu coastline in Shizuoka and operates as a traditional ryokan with tatami-floored guest rooms furnished in a Japanese style; room types range from twin units to family-sized tatami rooms laid out for futons, and several accommodations offer ocean panoramas or views of Mount Fuji. The property delivers a straightforward, low-key atmosphere geared toward visitors who want authentic Japanese lodging and communal public spaces rather than resort excess, reflecting the character of a ryokan with onsen in Shizuoka.
Bathing facilities include a larger public bath and a smaller secondary bath, each offering indoor and open-air sections plus a sauna, with gender-separated areas that rotate on a set schedule; the hot water is a mineral-rich sodium–calcium chloride spring supplied from the same group’s nearby source and is locally noted for its skin-beneficial mineral content. The onsen accommodates both early-morning and evening bathing windows and is also offered for day-use at posted times, giving guests flexible opportunities to enjoy indoor and outdoor bathing and the low-temperature sauna.
On-site amenities cover a restaurant serving Japanese-style multi-course meals and a daily breakfast buffet, complimentary Wi‑Fi, free on-site parking, meeting spaces and light recreation such as table tennis. The property sits within easy reach of coastal walks and local museums, with convenient bus connections from Numazu station for visitors arriving by public transport; a strict no-children policy is noted, which makes the hotel a quiet option for adults seeking a traditional hot-spring stay at a ryokan with onsen in Numazu, Shizuoka.

Negative Reviews
Language barrier (limited English)
Some international guests reported that few or no staff spoke English, which made communication difficult for non-Japanese speakers.
Onsen limitations and crowding
A number of reviewers noted issues with the bathing facilities: crowded or small changing areas, outdoor bath temperatures too low at times, lack of cooling plunge/water bath in the women’s sauna area, and restrictions on access that affected enjoyment.
Breakfast quality and limited variety
Several guests found the breakfast options limited—few Western choices, inconsistent items (coffee/milk quality concerns) and some dishes running out early—wishing for greater variety.
Facilities, accessibility and safety concerns
Comments mentioned the property felt dated in places, the main entrance locked overnight, weak air-conditioning in common areas, unmarked step edges near the reception/beach access, and that the hotel is a short drive from Numazu station rather than within walking distance.
Occasional cleanliness and beach litter issues
While many praised room cleanliness, some visitors observed dust or visible trash in rooms or that the nearby beach had litter, detracting from the overall experience.
