Time to do nothing by the sea: two days at Imaiso in Izu

Make the sea view the focus of your stay

Imaiso is a hot-spring ryokan facing the sea at Imaihama. Rakuten Travel describes sea views from all guest rooms. After putting your bags down, leave a little time simply to enjoy the view.

Travel does not need a constant stream of activities. Bring a book, talk over a drink or sit quietly for a while. Make time usually put off at home a central part of the trip.

Facility and view information:Rakuten Travel’s Imaiso listing. The view differs by room and weather.

Food and drinks in an all-inclusive stay

Imaiso describes an all-inclusive style, with a sea-facing lobby lounge and buffet dining.

Rather than visiting a string of restaurants, this trip leaves room to spend time at the hotel as you feel like it. Less travelling for meals means more time in your room or lounge.

Do not assume everything in the building is free: check included food and drinks, service hours and separately charged services before booking.

A pause after the hot spring

The official site says the Hekikai and Hekiku communal baths have open-air baths and saunas, with men’s and women’s use switching between morning and evening. Views and available hours differ by bath.

Drinks and ice lollies are described in the post-bath lounge. Not needing to rush to the next activity is part of a hotel-centred trip.

Private baths are also available, but their conditions differ from the communal baths. Check charges and booking procedures separately.

A suggested two-day stay focused on the hotel

The following is Tabijutan’s suggestion, not a package or timed service sold by the hotel.

Day 1: fewer detours and an earlier arrival

After lunch, travel in time for check-in. Enjoy the view from your room, then the hot spring or lounge. Leave time to do nothing before dinner.

After dinner, return to your room for a conversation or relax elsewhere in the hotel. Keep the evening unhurried too.

Day 2: no rush after breakfast

Take a morning bath if you wake comfortably in time. After breakfast, pack and enjoy the time until your plan’s checkout. Decide any return-journey stops according to energy and weather.

• Price:Check whether it is per person or per room, and check taxes and extra charges.
• Changes and cancellation:Check early-booking eligibility and cancellation fees.
