Ryokan Kokoronodoka
Beachfront. Property is on the beach or right next to it.
413-0503 Shizuoka, Kawazu, Midaka 109, Japan – Great location - show map
The staff was very friendly and helpful, the private bath was just awesome. Breakfast was delicious. Location is great - just 5 minutes walking from the train station.
Czech RepublicThe Japanese breakfast was excellent with different dishes each day, so much there was no need for lunch. The property had private, well equiped onsens. We were transported to and from the local station.
AustraliaSmall Ryokan with two private onsen that have both inside and outside bath. Really clean place and friendly staff but they don't speak English, only Japanese.
France今井浜海岸駅から徒歩5分程度で利便性が良いです(坂を上る形ですが)。電車の旅にはオススメです。今井浜海岸までもお散歩コースで行ける距離です。 何より、スタッフの方のフレンドリーさと、2つの異なる温泉に24時間入れる点が大変ありがたかったです。 温泉好きな私は1泊のうちに3回も入ってしまいました(夜、深夜、早朝)。 また、素泊まりではもったいないです、出来れば2食、少なくとも朝食だけは依頼された方が良いと思いました。今まで購入したことのない温泉あるある試供版モイスチャローションボトル(アロエ)を買ってしまったくらい気分が良かったです。
Japan夕ご飯が美味しかった、洒落ていてお気に入り 欲を言えばきりがないが 私一人でカメラを片手に車で訪れるには十分すぎる。 アメニティも殆ど持参しているので 必要な方のみ用意すれば良いと思います。
JapanVery close to railway station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Parking is good. Located just off main highway on north side of town. Great private outside and inside onsen with robe provided. Traditional Japanese style rooms with futon and comforter.
United StatesThe staff and Hideo were extremely kind and helpful! He recommended places to explore and helped us with everything. The breakfast is amazing and the Onsen was wonderful to relax in at the end of the day after exploring. I would highly recommend staying here.
United StatesLes chambres sont spacieuses et disposent de toilette / lavabo. La vue est sur la mer / montagne mais dommage que quelques bâtiments soient devant. Tous les équipements sont ok et le wifi est de bonne qualité. Le plus est qu'il y a 2 onsens séparés où l'on est seul (on ferme à clé). Côté nourriture, je n'ai pris que le petit déjeuné et c'était très bon / copieux : uniquement des plats de la mer. Enfin, le personnel était très serviable (J'étais un peu gêné même...) et parlent suffisamment anglais pour que tout le monde se comprenne.
France朝食が非常に美味しかった。スタッフの対応が良かった。施設は古いところはあるものの、価格的には充分満足。

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more
-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.
