Best Ryokans in Izu Peninsula

The Izu Peninsula is Tokyo's favourite ryokan escape — a narrow spit of volcanic mountains and coastal hot springs stretching into the Pacific, reachable in under 90 minutes by express train. Every town along the coast — Atami, Shimoda, Ito, Shuzenji — has its own onsen character. The ryokans here combine natural hot spring baths with some of the freshest seafood kaiseki in Japan, often with ocean or garden views.

Hanare Yado Yosizumi#5
9.4$$$

Actually, Hanare Yado Yoshizumi is not located in Atami but in Ito, Shizuoka, which is part of the broader Chubu region. This serene ryokan stands out for its private outdoor baths, where guests can immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature while enjoying the scenic views of the Izu Peninsula. It's a haven for travelers seeking solitude and a deep connection with Japanese culture, particularly those who appreciate the simplicity and beauty of traditional kaiseki cuisine and the serene ambiance of a hot spring retreat. A signature experience here might be savoring a traditional Japanese breakfast while watching the sunrise over the lush greenery, embodying the essence of a peaceful Japanese getaway. However, if you're looking for something in Atami, you might consider exploring other options that offer a similar blend of natural beauty and cultural immersion. Atami itself is known for its hot springs and scenic coastal views, making it an excellent base for exploring the Chubu region's unique cultural heritage.
