Ito Onsen Hotel Ito Powell

Even though I arrived a little after 2:00 p.m., they kindly allowed me to check in early, welcomed me with tea, and showed me straight to my Room. I felt cared for from the very start.The building has a charming “Showa-era” vibe in the best way. Still, everything was thoroughly cleaned and felt very fresh—easily crossing the line from “old” to “full of character.”My Room had an ocean view. Just zoning out with the sound of the waves as background music made me feel like I’d won at life.The bath timing was unbelievably lucky—almost private. The indoor bath was the perfect temperature for a long soak, and the open-air bath was a surprise combination of “yellow mineral water × ocean view.” Incredible.Dinner was pure, delicious overkill. Even when my stomach said “I can’t,” the abalone tempted me like, “You’ve still got room.” And yes—I did. Because it was that good. Completely stuffed.If I had one small request: shochu was bottle-only. For those of us who don’t drink that much, I’d be thrilled if it were available by the glass too.And breakfast—hands down the best among Hotels I’ve stayed at recently. You grill dried fish yourself right at the table: hot, fragrant, unbeatable in every way. And you can even order beer in the morning—an indulgent mix of guilt and happiness.I wanted to write all of this in the in-Room survey too, but there wasn’t a pen anywhere, so I gave up. Next time I’ll bring my own and make up for it.Honestly, it’s so good I almost don’t want to tell anyone—but I also want this place to stay around forever, so I hope it becomes even more popular.Next time I’m bringing everyone with me. Thank you very much.

The Room size, ocean view, meals, and Onsen were all excellent.In particular, the view from the Room was wonderful, and we were very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast—we ate our fill. The parking lot is a little far away.
