The Property — Seven Seas Hotel
The Seven Seas Hotel is a no-frills 3-star perched on the Ito shoreline, offering straightforward rooms with partial ocean views rather than polish. The lobby smells faintly of salt and tatami, with a small on-site onsen that draws from the town’s famous hot springs. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a private bath and a bed near the beach, not luxury.
Chronicles of Ito
Ito developed as a fishing village and grew into a hot-spring resort from the Edo period onwards, drawing writers and artists like the novelist Soseki Natsume. Its coastline was reshaped by the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, which lifted the seabed. Modern Ito balances traditional ryokan with mid-century concrete hotels, and today it’s a quiet weekend escape from Tokyo, known for its spa culture and the Jogasaki coastline hikes.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ito guide →Best months
October and November offer cool, clear weather and autumn foliage along the Jogasaki coast, with fewer visitors than summer. May is also good—mild and dry before the rainy season.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak season, driven by Obon holidays and school breaks. Hotel prices can double, and Ito’s beaches and onsens get crowded. The local Omatsuri festival in mid-August adds to the influx.
Budget shoulder season
June and September are shoulder months with lighter crowds; June is rainy but cheap, September can still be warm but with lower rates and emptier onsen facilities.
Weather & packing
Ito’s climate is humid subtropical—summers are hot and muggy, winters are mild. Pack a light rain jacket and quick-dry clothes even in July, as sea fog and sudden downpours are common along the coast.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Seven Seas Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the inland side (away from the main road) to reduce street noise and get a quieter stay. These upper floors are above the lift motor hum and less affected by foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 2nd floor above the lobby or near the lift shaft — check-in bustle and lift noise carry. Also skip any room directly above the bar or restaurant on the ground floor if you're a light sleeper.
Best views
Rooms on the seaward side (south/east depending on exact building orientation) offer views of Sagami Bay and Ito's coastline. For a pure bay view, ask for a 'ocean-side' or 'bay-facing' room at booking.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest — furthest from street-level noise and above the lift mechanics.
🔊 Noise notes
Ito's main road (Route 135) runs through town — rooms facing it will hear traffic, especially early morning deliveries. The hotel's bar or restaurant may create low hum until late evening.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the 'bay side' when booking — the 3-star rating suggests basic soundproofing, so upper floors are worth the ask. 2. Check-in staff can often assign a quieter room if you arrive early — try to check in before 4pm to have more choice.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
