[2024 Higashiizu Stay] Travel Guide for Inatori Ginsuiso (Updated Nov)
Izu Ginsuiso | Facing the sea, colliding with dreams
| Facing the sea, colliding with dreams. Because of a photo of the sunset, I decisively booked Ginsuiso and was filled with anticipation for the trip to Izu.
We took the Izu Kyuko Line to Inatori Station (Figure 13) and then walked to the hotel. On one hand, we didn't have much luggage, and on the other, I like to walk around and explore unfamiliar environments. (If you have a lot of luggage or don't want to walk, you can take the shuttle bus provided by the hotel at the entrance of Inatori Station; if you can't find the shuttle bus, you can contact the hotel, and they will arrange a vehicle to pick you up, the latest by 7 PM).
Opening the door to the room felt like stepping into the world of Hayao Miyazaki (Figures 2-9): Japanese-style tones, tatami mats, and a full view of the sea, so beautiful it felt unreal! Sitting on the small sofa by the balcony (Figure 4), gazing at the Pacific Ocean, it felt as if the sands of time had stopped at that moment. In the evening, a staff member will come to make the bed (Figure 9).
The hotel offers 24-hour hot springs on the second floor (Figure 10). My friend and I changed into bathrobes and took a disposable bath package (including a toothbrush and disposable towel) to enjoy the hot springs. There are both indoor and outdoor hot springs, and it is recommended to go at dusk to enjoy the sunset while soaking.
The hotel provides different themed desserts, drinks, snacks, fruits, and alcoholic beverages 24 hours a day on the sixth floor (Figure 11). There is a row of seats facing the sea on the sixth floor, so if you want to enjoy both the food and the view, try to arrive early.

The buffet breakfast provided by the hotel is very rich (Figure 12). Sunshine, the sea, and delicious food start a day full of energy~!

Inatori Ginsui-so Seaside Hot Spring Hotel
If you are looking for a glittering sea, a historic hot spring, and a hotel with attentive service, then the highly praised Izu Inatori Ginsui-so, a long-established inn in Izu, is the perfect choice
🩷 I highly recommend this place for a one-night, two-meal experience in Izu. We stayed at the hotel for two nights, spent one day chilling at the hotel, and another day at Omuroyama and Jogasaki Coast
🩵 The room we booked was the most basic 11-mat Japanese-style room on Ctrip, but it also had a stunning sea view. Every evening when we went out for dinner, someone would come to make the bed, and it was very soft and comfortable to sleep in
🧡 The hotel's 6th floor offers food almost all day long, with fruits, nuts, and desserts in the afternoon, and free cocktails in the evening, all served in a room with a sea view, making it a delightful place to enjoy afternoon tea ☕️
💚 The hotel's breakfast is fantastic, with food made and grilled on the spot. When checking out, they even give you a small gift, a traffic safety amulet! Very thoughtful Izu Inatori Ginsui-so

Izu Inatori Ginshui Manor Hotel
Izu Inatori Ginshui Manor Hotel||| It took nearly 4 hours from Tokyo to Izu Inatori. Although I was confident about the hotel, I was still amazed when I opened the window of the room and saw the sea view and sunset.
Before leaving Tokyo, I used my full Japanese and English to communicate by phone. I learned that the hotel arranges a shuttle bus at Inatori Station from 1 pm to 5 pm. As expected, I saw hotel staff waiting with signs as soon as I arrived. Super relieved.
In China, people prefer new hotels over old ones, but in Japan, it's the opposite. The not-so-busy street scene, the nostalgic original wooden tatami and the original handmade key are the favorites of social phobia and nostalgic people.
I found a lot of guides about Izu on the Internet before, but it seems that I don't need them anymore. I decided to spend a day enjoying the nostalgic hotel and the quiet and appropriate small town around. There are no check-in points, no destinations, just pure emptiness and wasting time, what a beautiful luxury.
