7,3/10 Very good - Based on 20 reviews
Izumigo AMBIENT Izu-Kogen Condominium presents a self-service, group-friendly stay on the Izu coast where rooms start at about 55 m² and include kitchenettes for simple meal preparation. Many upper-floor units look out over the coastline and, on clear mornings, the silhouette of nearby islands; room types range from Japanese‑Western layouts and maisonettes to ocean‑view rooms with terraces, making the property suitable for families or extended stays. Check‑in typically begins in the mid‑afternoon and the operation follows a relaxed, resort‑style rhythm.
Facilities focus on practical comfort and communal relaxation: guests have access to a public hot spring bath and a dry sauna, along with free Wi‑Fi in public areas, complimentary on‑site parking, luggage storage and daily housekeeping. Bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, refrigeration, microwaves and basic kitchenware, while bathrooms provide bathtubs, hairdryers and toiletries. For travellers searching specifically for a ryokan with onsen in Shizuoka, the property combines the communal bathing experience common to traditional inns with condo‑style living space and kitchen facilities.
Located on a hillside above Izu Kogen, the condominium sits within easy driving distance of Mt. Omuro, Izu Shaboten Zoo, Izu Granpal Park and the Jogasaki Coast, and is a short drive from the local station, which makes it a convenient base for exploring the eastern Izu Peninsula. The layout and facilities make it practical for multigenerational groups, small parties and families who want sea views, on‑site bathing and flexible self‑catering options while using the property as a base for coastal activities and nearby attractions.
