Samokatus Hotels

Nestled near the historic Nanzen-ji Temple, Fufu Kyoto offers an elegant fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern luxury. Every room features a private cedar-scented natural hot spring bath, and the on-site restaurant serves exquisite local Kyoto charcoal-grilled cuisine. While the physical property and dining are outstanding, inflexible service and poor room views on lower floors have disappointed some international travelers.

Perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean, Gardenvilla Shirahama is a charming family-run oasis offering spectacular sunrise views, a cliffside pool, and two private outdoor hot tubs. The hosts go above and beyond with heartwarming service, and the freshly prepared breakfasts, featuring homemade pancakes and bread, are highly praised. Located just a short walk from Shirahama Beach, it is perfect for a relaxing getaway on the Izu Peninsula.
