Overall Ratings & Reviews Ryokan Ogawa

This is a great value property close to Shimoda and the railway station. All rooms are slightly different in layout and are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. I booked a room with a shower for both my stays. Windows are double glazed making the rooms very quiet. There are two private onsen for the use of the guests, which are wonderful. There is no lift and my room was on the third floor. The staff spoke some English and were always very helpful. The bicycles they have for hire are excellent. I thoroughly recommend this property for vale, lactation and the facilities offered, including a small cafe and an excellent library.

The facility was well organized and pleasant. Seemed like a converted warehouse. The room was well done with tatami mat, beautiful wood doors and ceiling panels. I was travelling without a car and it was storming at night. This made it difficult to get to town for dinner. I found the Hana Cafe nearby on Google maps. It turned out to be very pleasant. My only question is: why isn’t this town more crowded with visitors? It’s lovely! Like Hawaii but with seagulls (and better price performance). I had a great onsen experience late at night while it was storming outside. I opened both windows and let the cool air blow through the room.

Nice onsen clean room I will be stay again if I have chance to back to shimoda

Free parking and close to the ferry port we needed the next morning. We had to wake up early The next morning and walk about fifteen minutes to catch our ferry to Izu Islands. - The cafe is open only for two hours. We were hoping to get our morning coffee fix but we left earlier than the opening time. - The facilities are clean. The Onsen was just okay but clean. The beds (futons) were the most comfortable among budget options we used during the trip. - Happy we got the room with ensuite showers on the side of the parking lot rather than the road. The reception desk isn't always staffed. - Might not want to bring anything heavy as there are not lifts. You'd have to drag your suitcase up flights of stairs. - There's a surf-inspired bar about ten mins away (Rau) near Lawson.

This renovated Ryokan should be a model for all old-style ryokan. Our stay was extremely comfortable.

Excellent location. Room was nice. It would be nice if the windows had screens.

Good points -property was newly renovated -had clean bathrooms -had several conveniences including a self service laundry area, microwave, etc. -very reasonably priced for the area Points to improve -The beddings were not freshly laundered

This is a charming ryokan-style property, pretty much 'self-serve' with minimal staffing which was perfectly fine for us but may not appeal to others. It is being gradually renovated - there is no elevator and the two onsens (public bath) are dated (but very clean and relaxing). Walking distance from most attractions in Shimoda town and about a 5 minute taxi from the train station.

The view was very nice. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely consider staying another night!

Well kept, and really well thought out when they refurbished the place. Very clean. Location was great for accessing the harbour, walkable distance. There are quite a few parking spots too, more than I expected.

Had a really good stay. The futons were comfortable, in the room, the toilet and shower were separate. There were 2 hot spring bath rooms that can be shared with family in private on the second floor. Hotel is within walkable distance to station/bus terminal and shimoda Ropeway, and hotel is near the black ship cruise ferry station

Great condition, very clean, pretty convenient location (right next to a bus stop, near train station), English friendly, cute and comfortable Japanese style rooms, nice attention to details like a welcoming tea and cracker and water. Watch out: - the units get road noise. Earplugs are provided but if you're sensitive to this, consider another place - shared shower means the two shower rooms on 2nd floor, if they're occupied you may need to wait to shower - stairs only, no units on first floor Overall I really enjoyed the place and will stay again! I booked the night before my stay and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the place is.

Very clean, in vicinity of everything. Shared onsen that you use privately (as not shower in the room). Loved the stay, and we will come back for sure.

The design of the room was nice and modern. I have no complaints.

Good, clean modern Japanese style room. Went with a friend on a quick getaway to Shimoda. Onsen (hot spring) on premises. Simple older style (private) bath which can be used by all guests. Friendly staff who explained the area to us and gave a few good walks and restaraunt recommendations. This is a 3rd generation inn, first founded by the current owners' grandfather in 1975. The current innkeeper has created a cool vibe. SUPs and bikes for rent. Would stay again.

Bad weather, but good service and atmosphere. I like that.

Bike friendly, close to the station, reasonable price and welcoming staff.
