Numazu Ikkyuuan in Numazu

Although it's not in the heart of Numazu, its location along the beach makes it a great place for a quiet stroll. Nearby is Koyotei Memorial Park, so guests should definitely stop by. The facilities may feel a bit dated, but they're well-equipped with amenities like a large public bath (including an open-air bath), foot bath, washing machine, massage chair, and bar. It's also well-maintained. The sea view from the room was nice, but don't be alarmed by all the bugs crawling on the windows at night. A shuttle bus is available for check-out, so if your schedule allows, it might be a good idea to take advantage of it.

For dinner, I chose the "Seafood & Mountain Food Plan" and it was delicious. However, it was a bit disappointing that the room was not cleaned properly.

Old school onsen located directly across from the beach.

This hotel is a 10-minute walk from Numazu Imperial Villa Park. When we entered the room, my partner said, "This time we have an ocean view." So I replied, "We've always had ocean-facing rooms." Looking outside, the tops of the lush pine trees had been cut off. Until now, it was more of a "pine tree view" than an ocean view, but the view was open and it really was an ocean view of Suruga Bay. The sunset was beautiful. Also, the table and cushions in the room had been replaced with a table and a very low chair. I wish they had left one cushion, but this low chair was quite okay. The baths, which are switched between men and women, have a large indoor bath and an open-air bath, and the hot spring is free and transparent. There are no amenities in the washroom area. After the bath, I used the massage chair in the lobby lounge to relax. You can go out to the beach from the garden. We had dinner at the dinner venue. Because it was a standard kaiseki meal, when I looked at the menu, I thought there might not be many dishes, but it was very filling. Every dish was delicious. The grilled pork with miso sauce and the autumn-like rice (Hagi rice with ginkgo nuts, red beans, sweet potatoes, and sesame salt) were especially unique. I also ate the almond jelly for dessert. Breakfast was a buffet. There were local dishes such as Shizuoka oden and Fujinomiya yakisoba, which were quite good. The dried horse mackerel was not cut into pieces but was delicious as a whole fish, so my wife and I went back to get some. The quail eggs and konnyaku in the Shizuoka oden were soaked in dashi broth. We went back to get this again. The kushiage that we thought was kushikatsu was actually onion, and the onion was very soft. The miso soup was pork soup. The Fujinomiya yakisoba was chewy. I heard people inside the venue saying how delicious it was. If something was missing, the staff immediately replenished it, and the buffet table was kept clean, so we were able to eat comfortably. This time, we stayed on the weekend and it was quite crowded, but it was still a comfortable stay.

The hot spring was very good, but there was a lot of hair on the bathroom sink. I noticed it and cleaned it up with a lint roller, but I think it's important to clean it more frequently.

I decided to stay there for one night and I had a great time there. The dinner was delicious and abundant and after a long day on my motorbike, I could relax and enjoy the hotel's onsen.. I went there after dinner (they are open until 23.30) and I was totally alone.
