Izu Hokkawa Seaside Guesthouse 伊豆北川の家 Higashiizu

Review by hotel critic

If you’re looking for a cozy escape away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Izu Hokkawa Seaside Guesthouse is a gem. I recently spent New Year's there, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. The hosts were welcoming, treating us like family and even offering to drive us to the nearest convenience store when ours was closed—definitely a thoughtful gesture! What really stood out to me was the serene setting. Nestled next to the sea, the tranquility is palpable, perfect for unwinding after days filled with hiking and exploring. The shared kitchen was a handy bonus, allowing us to whip up a few meals with great views from the terrace. With free WiFi and clean accommodations featuring a flat-screen TV and cozy shared bathrooms, it made for a comfortable stay. Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, this place makes you feel right at home. If you're a nature lover craving a bit of adventure, you’ll appreciate the nearby hot springs, fishing ports, and opportunities for windsurfing. I wished I could have stayed longer!
