An exquisite healing inn surrounded by the atmosphere of an old folk house and rural charm

This inn stands quietly in Kawazu-cho, the backyard of Shizuoka, preserving the culture of a quiet post town. The traditional-style old folk house has been renovated to create a high-quality space where you can spend a leisurely luxurious holiday.

The Edo atmosphere and the modern harmony of Western culture

Located in the Tatsuya district with a historical townscape, this inn is a renovated building from the Edo period merchants. The space maintains the atmosphere of the good old days while harmonizing with modern design and facilities, creating an uncompromisingly high-quality living space.

Spacious guest rooms and a comfortable interior space

The spacious Japanese-style guest rooms are equipped with carefully selected furniture and amenities. Under soft lighting, you can spend a comfortable and relaxing time. The large living room on the first floor is a freely relaxing place where you can read books, enjoy cooking, and more.

Indulge in a luxurious open-air bath under the starry sky

The inn proudly offers two privately reserved open-air baths with spring water that can be used unlimitedly at night. The natural cave bath and an open bath area that allows you to enjoy the garden environment depending on the season, offering the ultimate bathing experience. With a beautiful starry sky spread out above, you can enjoy the healing of nature and blissful moments.

Enjoy homemade dishes of local flavors

The morning and evening meals feature homemade dishes made with local fresh ingredients. The menu changes daily, and each dish is a masterpiece that maximizes the seasonal ingredients. The unique seasoning, combining deep flavors and ethnic spiciness, will satisfy both your eyes and taste buds.

Access and nearby attractions

Kawazu-cho is about a 30-minute drive from the Tomei Expressway's Ibusuki PA, a place that gets crowded during the tourist season. Within walking distance from the inn, there is the Valley Park, famous for the Kawazu cherry blossoms, where you can take a leisurely stroll through the cherry blossom sights. In addition, the town is scattered with charming shops and restaurants, allowing you to enjoy strolling around during your stay.

Surrounded by ancient nature and traditional culture, this hidden oasis of an inn offers a high-quality and luxurious accommodation experience, where you can leisurely enjoy the local atmosphere and refresh both your mind and body.

Super cute and relaxing space, modest and very home-likes and cozy. great for family getaway and gathering. Accommodating for all ages! Beautiful artwork and a relaxing onset experience while looking up at the star-filled sky was a definite highlight!

The best hotel I have ever been privileged enough to stay at. I had a wonderful experience at Gallery Court Ofa atu Hotel with my family. I feel as comfortable as at home. The staff is warm and friendly, pleasant and helpful. The dinner and breakfast was also very delicious and Not at all inferior to other hotels. The place is near to the 白浜海水浴場. Excellent property and very convenient. The best memories in this summer. I want to stay in the hotel again next time.

This place was great! The woman who runs the place is super friendly. The outdoor onsen is nice (and private). The rooms are plain but comfortable. Communal bathroom. The common area is great with a pool table and coffee. The food is good, but order ahead of time cause she only cooks a certain amount of food. If you’re a visiting foreigner or a Japanese person, you may not love it as much as me, but if you’re a foreigner that’s been living in Japan for awhile, this place is gonna be your favorite.

On the positive side the location is really convenient (10ish min by foot of the station) and the onsen is very nice with a good view. BUT, even for a touristic time of the year at Kawazu, the price was way over the top for the quality of the establishment. The entrance / main lobby is a mess with a clutter of children toys and looks like the apartment of a compulsive hoarder. Everything is dirty with a lot of dust. The room is very small, not well furnished, with small uncomfortable beds and they lack proper window blinds. I will say it again but there was a lot of dust, so if you’re allergic or sensitive to it you’ll have a very bad time. In a nutshell, this could’ve been okay if the price was decent, but for more than 15000¥ a 2p. room I’d expect more than a youth hostel level of comfort.

Here is a wonderful place!! The surroundings are super peaceful but very close to the beach. The hotel owner is friendly and very welcoming. I was so happy that I hope to stay here again in the near future. Although the individual room is a bit small, everything else is way better! Highly recommend this hotel. Many thanks
