La Classe de Cienega in Yugawara

I stayed at this hotel for a solo trip over the weekend. It's an older establishment, so it's a bit dated, but still nice. It's right in front of the ocean, with a panoramic ocean view from the balcony. When I arrived at Manazuru Station, there were no taxis available, so I waited 25 minutes. If you're taking a taxi, I recommend arriving at Manazuru Station a little earlier. On the way back, the weather was nice, so I took a leisurely walk to the station. It took about 20 minutes.

Pros and Cons

Pros
- Great view from the room
- Quiet
- Delicious food
- Large TV in the room
- Hand towels provided

Cons
- No outlets or USB ports on the bedside table
- Only three shower areas in the large bath, so they're all taken up when there's a group.
- The mirror in the large bath is covered in limescale
- I wish they'd provide a shuttle service, even if it cost extra
- The room was hot (it was November, and even short sleeves were hot). (By the way, I'm not particularly sensitive to heat.)
Overall, I was satisfied and would stay again.

The room and food were good.
However, if they're offering a solo plan, I wish they'd consider dining options for solo travelers as well. I felt uncomfortable being shoved in the middle of families and couples.

The view from the balcony was amazing.
The hot spring, while small, was adequate.
However, the sauna hours are set to completely favor women. Men are only allowed in between check-in and before dinner.
If they have a rotation system, I wish they'd rotate the hours as well.

The hotel is far from the station, so you'll need a taxi, but be careful as it can be crowded and difficult to catch one on the way back.

I loved it! ◎
The last thing I'll mention is the view from my room. (The photo is a longer shot from the third floor.)
The ocean view rivals those of hotels in Okinawa and Hawaii, and since it was the right time of year, we even got to see the Atami fireworks.

The pool (over 10, no play equipment allowed) is free to enjoy, and while the building and facilities are a little dated, each room (we stayed in a maisonette and a twin room) was spacious and clean, with no noise from neighboring rooms. Waking up to the sounds of the waves and birds was an ideal experience.
The hotel's location is great, and although there's a busy national highway nearby, I personally didn't find the noise disruptive or bothersome.

The public bath was great, but the shower pressure, water temperature, jet bath, shampoos, and hair dryer in my room were the best! ⭐︎ My hair, which tends to get rough at the beach, is now silky smooth. (^o^)
The child-friendly staff were very helpful, and I'd definitely stay at this hotel again.
The food was as delicious as everyone has reviewed, with dishes packed with the bounty of the ingredients and a great experience.

The reasons for minus 1 are:
◎On the first night, I noticed that one of the rooms was missing an amenity, and when I called the front desk, I couldn't get through.
◎The door under the bathroom was broken and dangerous (I wish they had let me know in advance).
◎There was a problem with the lock in one of the rooms, and the staff helped me out.
However, if you report it properly, they will come up with a solution and take action, which was very helpful.

Nice view.

Perfect getaway spot only two hour train ride from downtown Tokyo. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfasts. Comfortable rooms with a scenic oceanview. I'm coming back for sure!

Although it is a little far from the station, it is a hideaway hotel where you can spend a quiet time.
Oshima, Hatsushima and Izu Peninsula can be seen beautifully from the room.
Not suitable for families with small children, but perfect for a relaxing holiday for adults only.
We had a delicious dinner with a good view from the dining room.

I enjoyed lunch with my family during the drive. I think the level is very high. The atmosphere is very good and I don't feel like I'm in Japan. Is it exaggerated? But it was very delicious.

Excellent place. Fabulous ocean view from the balcony.
