The extremely helpful staff pick you up from the station and explain everything about this traditional Ryokan hotel. The onsen hot springs are lovely (bear in mind nakedness is obligatory), the rooms are clean, if dated, and we especially liked the complimentary Japanese robes and the traditional breakfast. It's not too far to walk to the main part of Ito town and the seaside.

“Great onsen hotel in Ito”

I stayed at Kowakien for one night in July 2022. This is a clean, spacious Onsen hotel in Ito. Located right next to a supermarket with a handful of restaurants near the ryokan, this is a good location to spend some time in Ito.

“Very Good Deal and Sevices”

We stayed here two nights. The hotel had contacted us ahead of time about the lack of non-smoking room but offered to deodorize. Also reminded us about the availability of hotel shuttle pick-up at Ito train station starting from 2pm with a phone call. It took the second phone call to find the hotel… Più

We stayed here two nights. The hotel had contacted us ahead of time about the lack of non-smoking room but offered to deodorize. Also reminded us about the availability of hotel shuttle pick-up at Ito train station starting from 2pm with a phone call. It took the second phone call to find the hotel staff who can speak some English. At the hotel check-in, we were greeted by a staff who can speak some English. The whole stay for two days was very pleasant. First dinner in a room with several tables was very good, with lots of fresh local seafood. Breakfast in the main dining room offered Japanese and some Western food. Second dinner was in the main dining room and professionally served with attention. Again very good food. We took the 9:10 shuttle to the Ito train station, with plenty of time to catch the 9:30 train to Shimoda.

“Food is excellent but not the room”

This is the first visit and I try in Ito. I do not like the traditional room I have. Old and facing to the empty swimming pool is a bit scared to me.

This is the first visit and I try in Ito. I do not like the traditional room I have. Old and facing to the empty swimming pool is a bit scared to me. I went down to the other side of the ground floor which looks really relaxing area that I do not know from the booking site. There looks like only for local or Japanese to stay in. It is not the dine in room. Service is good in the restaurant and food is impressed. However, I may not think to stay again unless if I can try to reserve the ground floor side.
