Hotels With Pools in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

This was the hotel I was most looking forward to on this trip, and we stayed for two nights. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. During the summer, it cost over 7,000 yen, including breakfast for two. The room was a bit small (the bath towel was on the bed because there was no other place to put it). It didn't have a balcony, and I regretted not booking a room with one (though it would have been even more expensive). The hotel is good for relaxing, but transportation is truly inconvenient. Especially on the last night, waiting for a taxi from Shimoda Port was maddening. And that evening (Saturday), we couldn't find any restaurants around Shimoda Port that didn't require reservations; most were closed. We almost went hungry! The various paid experiences at the hotel were quite good; we tried sea fishing and night viewing of fireflies, both of which required a taxi to Shimoda Port. The nearby aquarium is also worth a visit. The outdoor pool, which closes at 6 PM, we didn't even get to use. The service at resort hotels is generally good, but at this summer price, it really isn't good value for money. The nearby beach is very small (see last picture). It didn't look suitable for swimming, so although this hotel is close to the sea, it's only good for viewing it, not the kind of resort I imagined where you could stroll on the beach and swim in the sea directly. The path from the hotel to the pool is beautiful, and there are designated times and places for setting off fireworks; thankfully, there were hot springs to help us unwind.

The sea view is unbeatable, and it's a 5-6 minute walk from the station. They offer a shuttle service to the station upon checkout, by appointment. A centipede ran into my room... but they changed my room when I requested it, which was fine. I stayed for three days, and the breakfast was decent. The service was typical Japanese, meaning you couldn't really find any fault with it. The biggest surprise was on the day of checkout: there was a huge typhoon in Izu, all trains were stopped. While we were feeling helpless at the station, a hotel front desk staff member arrived! They told us that because we had previously booked a shuttle, they were taking us to the larger Izu-Kogen station! I was so touched! That's truly Japanese service, solving an urgent problem! Overall, it was really good!

We checked in late at night, but they were very kind and accommodating. They also accommodated our sudden request for multiple nights, which was a relief. The hotel was very large, and there were many guests even on weekdays. From the ocean view, we could see a beautiful view of Lake Hamana. The spa was also spacious, and we enjoyed a relaxing bath. The morning buffet had a wide variety of dishes, and everything we ate was delicious. If we have the opportunity, this is a hotel we would definitely like to stay at again.

The service was very good and the place is amazing. Nevertheless they didn’t allow us to have dinner or breakfast in the hotel as they said it was fully booked, and when requested for late check in we were asked to pay more. It would have been expected to be able to at least check in a bit later since we couldn’t enjoy the dinner or breakfast in the hotel and was inconvenient.

Very good experience of staying one night of this hotel.We are very happy and satisfied. Especially the foods we eat at dinner in the sushi restaurant was very delicious and also their breakfast buffet must try the best foods that they served was very delicious too.

If you plan to stay in this area, you’ll need your own transport, like a rental car. The breakfast buffet has lots of tasty options and comes with a nice sea view in the morning. The private onsen costs JPY 3,500 per hour, and the experience was excellent. The front desk staff are very polite and friendly. Many local Japanese people choose this hotel for their vacations.

The hot spring hotel is relatively old, but the staff is very good. The receptionist can speak Mandarin, and the restaurant waiter can introduce himself in English. He seems to be Indian. The hotel is in a very good location facing the sea. However, the hotel's hygiene conditions are rather poor. After returning from the hot spring on the first night, my body began to itch, so I went to the pharmacy and bought some ointment. The floor was slippery and felt rather dirty. The water from the frozen kettle in the room contained dirt, so I did not dare to drink it, so I went to a convenience store to buy water. I have reported the above two situations to the hotel. The soundproofing of the room was poor. The sound of rain on rainy nights prevented everyone from falling asleep. We didn't sleep well even after staying there for two nights. The two nights were two nights with two meals. The breakfast and dinner menus were different every day. The food was fresh. The only drawback was that there was too little meat. My husband and son were not full enough.

The place is amazing, own onsen in your room, and there is an amazing view of Fuji. The only problem is that there any restaurants for this hotel that doesn’t require a reservation prior to your check in, so if you need any food, you need to go to the hotel next-door. Other than that is a very good experience, very spacious room for your family or your friend, and it’s a great chance for you to get near nearer to the nature.

The best hotel for Yaizu vacation! 55 square meters Japanese-Western style sea view room, quite comfortable! Two hot springs are available, the Kuroshio hot springs from 1500 meters underground have a unique texture (salty hot spring). All meals are included, breakfast is OK, lunch (staying for two nights) provides a special fresh sashimi rice, very delicious, dinner is quite rich, especially more wine varieties, and three afternoon tea venues, good scenery, more exquisite tea.

The Fuji Speedway Hotel brought me an unforgettable experience. Located right by the Fuji Speedway with stunning Mount Fuji views, this hotel is perfect for car enthusiasts and travelers seeking luxury. The service was exceptional—staff were kind, friendly, and most spoke excellent English, making communication a breeze for non-Japanese speakers. Check-in was smooth, and the team was always ready to assist with a smile. The rooms were modern and comfortable, offering great views of the racetrack or Mount Fuji. I loved the motorsport-themed touches, like car-inspired decor, which added character without being overdone. The highlight for me was the circuit driving experience near the hotel. For an extra fee (around $100 for three laps, requiring an international driving permit), I got to drive on the track—a thrilling first for someone with no prior circuit experience! It was well-organized and an absolute must for adrenaline junkies. The onsen spa and indoor pool were relaxing, and dining at TROFEO Italian was a treat, with fresh dishes and scenic views. The only downside is the remote location, so a car or the hotel’s shuttle from Gotemba is handy for exploring. Overall, the outstanding service and unique driving experience made this stay memorable.
