Just A step away from the beach !!
What are minshuku?
Minshuku are Japanese inns with a time-honored tradition of hospitality.
Originally they were homes where a comfortable room and home-cooked meals were offered to travellers.
Today, they still maintain that homey atmosphere by offering Japanese-style rooms and two meals a day:
breakfast and dinner.

Onsen and Minshuku Otsuka, located in Usami on the Izu peninsula,has all a minshuku offers and a good deal more.
Imagine, after taking a relaxing, , hot bath in the onsen(hot spring) , slipping into a comfotable yukata,

and strolling on the beach , literally a few step away.
Or , relax in your room while gazing upon the ocean or the lovely hills.
