Gallery Court OFA ATU

I've stayed here twice as an overnight jet-lag adjustment/R&R prior to business meetings in Tokyo when traveling from USA. Simple but clean & comfortable guest rooms that have shared bathrooms located down the hall, plus two hot spring onsen that overlook a small garden. Excellent breakfasts in the dining room (mine were western style - available on request - and served as a three course meal, included in room rate.) Dining room is good for dinner too. The owners are a gracious and hardworking husband-and-wife team, and the paintings that grace the walls are those of the husband's father, a wonderful gentleman whom you might be lucky to meet also. A 15 to 20 minute walk from the Kawazu train/bus station and an easy 10 minute walk to the beach or center of town. Buy the JR's Izu Free Q Kippu, a bus/train pass, to access the Izu Peninsula...A short bus ride from the Kawazu station will get you to to the Seven Waterfalls (Nanadaru) or a short hop via train to Shimoda - so save your money and stay here, yet enjoy the sights of southeastern Izu. A great value especially for families or travelers on a budget.
