A Slice of Serenity: Unwinding at the Andano Moriyu Izuyae Pick Hotel in Ito

Nestled in the tranquil Yoshida district of Ito, the Andano Moriyu Izuyae Pick Hotel offers a uniquely Japanese blend of relaxation, recreation, and rustic charm. More than just a place to sleep, it presents itself as a self-contained retreat where modern convenience meets traditional onsen culture, making it an ideal base for exploring the Izu Peninsula.

Stepping onto the property, you are greeted by a sense of calm. The garden views and private terraces attached to many rooms provide immediate connection to nature. Accommodations are thoughtfully equipped, balancing practicality with comfort. Each room features a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, and electric kettle—perfect for preparing light meals or snacks—alongside comfortable seating areas. The attention to detail extends to amenities like yukata robes, bedside sockets for convenience, and notably, luxurious bathroom setups that include deep bathtubs and separate showers.

The true standout feature, however, is the hotel’s commitment to rejuvenation. Its onsen (hot spring) facilities, including both indoor public baths and a highly coveted open-air rotenburo, are the heart of the experience. Soaking in the mineral-rich waters, especially under the open sky, is the ultimate remedy for travel fatigue. For further indulgence, in-room spa baths and optional massage services are available.

Beyond relaxation, the hotel shines with its array of activities. It fosters a playful, communal atmosphere with facilities for table tennis, darts, karaoke, and a games room. The offer of bicycle rentals invites guests to explore the local coastline at their own pace. Evenings can be spent enjoying a drink at the bar or sharing stories during happy hour. Families are particularly well-catered for with children’s meals, outdoor play equipment, and board games.

Three Must-Visit Local Attractions:

• Ito Onsen: As one of Japan's oldest hot spring towns, Ito’s city center is dotted with public foot baths (ashiyu) and numerous bathhouses. A stroll along the Matsukawa River, where steam rises from drains, is a quintessential experience. Don’t miss trying "onsen tamago" (eggs slow-cooked in the hot spring waters).
• Jogasaki Coast: A short drive or cycle from the hotel, this dramatic volcanic coastline offers breathtaking views. Walk across the suspension bridge (Kadowaki Bridge) and hike the well-maintained Jogasaki Kaigan Promenade along sheer cliffs, with the powerful Pacific Ocean crashing below—a perfect contrast to the hotel’s serenity.
• Mount Omuro: This unique, grass-covered extinct volcano resembles an inverted rice bowl. A chairlift takes you to the summit for panoramic 360-degree views of Ito city, Sagami Bay, and on clear days, Mount Fuji. It’s especially beautiful in late autumn when the susuki grass turns golden.

With its warm hospitality (the 24-hour front desk is always helpful), free private parking, and seamless free WiFi throughout, Andano Moriyu Izuyae Pick Hotel successfully creates a haven where every guest can craft their perfect blend of adventure and repose in beautiful Ito.
