"Beautiful location, right on the beach with most rooms having sea view Excellent buffet breakfast - good for my vegetarian husband. Much easier to get to than we thought - the JR train changes to a different provider at izu kogen but we just stayed on the train and paid the fare balance at Kawazu / also the hotel runs a shuttle so if u r going by train contact them the day before to get the times of their shuttle"
