The Roman bath at Iwamotoro, with its stunning stained glass, felt luxurious and was definitely a highlight. The ocean view from my Japanese-style room was breathtaking, especially on clear days when you could see Mt. Fuji. The traditional breakfast was impressive and well-prepared, making for a delightful start to the day. However, some areas of the hotel seemed dated, and the public parking situation could be confusing, adding unnecessary hassle. I also faced some confusion regarding dinner reservations. it wasn’t clear that they didn’t offer dinner in-house which was disappointing.

Onsite traditional-style breakfast options were unexpected.

I had a delightful stay at Iwamotoro. The breathtaking ocean view from my Japanese-Style Room with Sea View was a daily highlight. The staff were incredibly attentive, providing personalized service that made me feel right at home.

Some public areas could use updates.

A historic inn with cultural charm

Staying at Iwamotoro was like stepping into history. The Roman bath was a highlight. its stunning stained glass and regal ambiance made each soak feel luxurious. I also adored how the staff offered a tailored breakfast to accommodate my gluten allergy, showcasing their attention to detail and customer service.

However, I noticed some areas could use upgrades. the carpeting in the lobby felt worn and could benefit from a refresh. Additionally, the public parking situation was a bit confusing, leading to some unnecessary hassle during check-in.

10/10

Them baths were just somethin' else, especially that Roman-style one with all them fancy stained glass bits. The staff treated us like family, even helpin’ us out with our breakfast choices. We had a right good time sittin’ by that ocean view, just watchin’ the waves roll in. I swear that futon was cozier than my couch at home.

Loved the outdoor pool and attentive service. Wi-Fi was spotty in my room.

We loved the unique Roman-style baths and the beautiful views from our room. Being right on Enoshima strip made it easy for our large family of six, including four teenagers, to explore local shops and restaurants, and then retreat to the onsen. One evening, we enjoyed watching the sunset behind Mt. Fuji, a truly unforgettable experience!

My kids wished there were more dining options nearby.

the onsen facilities were outstanding with a unique cave bath experience. some areas seemed quite dated.

the public parking lot was confusing. but the ocean-view room was stunning with huge windows. the indoor shrine in the cave bath was a unique experience. very clean facilities throughout the ryokan.

The staff demonstrated exceptional kindness, patiently assisting with services while my group struggled with the local language. The onsen facilities were a highlight, offering some of the best experiences I've had in Japan, while the breakfast was a delightful surprise, featuring an impressive variety of dishes.

We had an awesome time staying with friends. The Roman bath was a total highlight, and we really enjoyed the cave bath experience. The location was perfect, letting us explore the popular walking street and nearby temples easily. Breakfast was a nice surprise with diverse options.

We had some confusion about the dining options. Initially, we wanted to have dinner at the ryokan, but learned that it wasn't available.

my stay at Iwamotoro for two nights was unforgettable. the stunning view of mt. fuji and the spacious tatami room blew me away. the hot springs were great, and the staff was incredibly helpful throughout my stay.

the dining options were limited due to the weather.
