Four Rooms OnlyJust four guestrooms create a quiet, private stay with a more personal feel.

Sea-View Open-Air BathsEvery guestroom is noted for an open-air onsen bath with ocean views.

Private Bath OptionA reservable private bath adds flexibility for couples or relaxed solo soaking.

Small Ryokan CalmIts very limited capacity suits travelers seeking peace over busy resort energy.

Mitaka Coastal SettingSet in Kawazu's Mitaka area, convenient for exploring the coast and beaches nearby.

Good Two-Meal ValuePublished rates suggest a relatively approachable price for dinner-and-breakfast ryokan stays.

Recommended stay1-2 nightsScenery and private-bath time are the strongest stay driver here. One night works well for early arrival, private bath, dinner, sleep, breakfast, and a short Kawazu outing. Two nights make sense if you want a slow room-focused stay plus nearby Kawazu sights such as the cherry blossom area, Mine Onsen, or a half-day outing toward the Seven Waterfalls.

Trip-planning verdict: Best used as a quiet 1-night or relaxed 2-night ryokan stay in Kawazu/Imaihama, especially for couples, scenery, private bathing, and a slower East Izu break rather than dense sightseeing.

Know before booking

Limited urban actionThis is a quiet Imaihama hillside stay, not a nightlife or restaurant-hopping base.

Do not overstayBeyond two nights, many travelers may run out of easy walkable activity unless they are driving or deliberately slowing down.

Likely small-scale accessThe property is intimate and hillside-oriented, so travelers with heavy luggage or mobility needs should confirm access details directly.

Useful access points Stations, stops, airports and practical travel advice.

Best way to arrive For most rail travelers, arrive at Kawazu Station for the widest train connectivity, then continue by taxi for the last part. If you are already on the Izu Kyuko Line and traveling light, Imaihama-Kaigan Station is the closest practical station, but the final approach is usually easier by taxi than on foot with luggage.

Imaihama-Kaigan Stationstation
290 mMidaka area, Kawazu, Kamo District, Shizuoka, Japanabout 10-20 min on foot depending on route and luggageabout 3-5 min by taxivery short local transfer or best checked locally
Closest useful rail stop. Best for travelers already on the Izu Kyuko Line, though a short taxi is usually the easiest final leg with bags.
Kawazu Stationstation
1.9 kmKawazu, Kamo District, Shizuoka, Japanabout 25 min walkabout 10-15 min by taxiabout 15-30 min by local bus or combined local transfer, best checked locally
Best overall rail gateway because it is the main station for Kawazu and generally the simplest arrival point for visitors coming from Tokyo-side or Shimoda-side trains.
Izukogen Stationstation
17 kmYawatano, Ito, Shizuoka, Japanabout 45-60 min by car depending on trafficabout 60-90 min by train and local transfer
A secondary transfer hub on the Izu Kyuko Line that can be useful if you are stopping elsewhere on the Izu Peninsula before heading to Kawazu.
Atami Stationstation
40 kmTahara-honcho, Atami, Shizuoka, Japanabout 90-120 min by car depending on trafficabout 1.5-2.5 hours by train depending on connections
Useful major transfer point from the Tokaido Shinkansen into the Izu rail network. Practical for visitors arriving from Tokyo, Nagoya, or Kansai by bullet train.
Imaihamabus
390 mNear Imaihama-Kaigan Station area, Kawazu, Shizuoka, Japanabout 10-20 min on foot depending on exact stop position and luggageabout 3-5 min by taxishort local bus access when operating
Useful only if your timing matches a local bus. Not ideal for first-time visitors with large luggage compared with taking a taxi from the station.
Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airportairport
75 kmMakinohara / Shimada area, Shizuoka, Japanroughly 2.5-3.5 hours by car depending on trafficusually lengthy and transfer-heavy, best checked locally
Possible but usually less convenient than Haneda for this ryokan. Consider it mainly if you already have a suitable domestic flight into Shizuoka Prefecture.
Haneda Airportairport
113 kmOta, Tokyo, Japannot practical to drive directly for most visitorscommonly about 3-4.5 hours by rail combination depending on transfers
Most useful airport for many international and domestic visitors because Tokyo rail connections toward Atami and the Izu Peninsula are usually the most straightforward.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points

Only four roomsThe ryokan hosts just four parties per day, so the atmosphere feels quiet, personal, and far more intimate than a standard resort. That low room count is a real advantage if you value calm over bustle.
Private bath with sea viewsEvery guestroom comes with its own open-air bath facing the ocean, which makes the stay feel special even if you never use shared facilities. Several rooms are designed to maximize different viewpoints, from corner panoramas to bedroom sea views.
Strong sense of placeThe property sits above Imaihama in Kawazu, so you get elevated coastal scenery and the sound of the waves rather than a generic town-hotel setting. It feels especially appealing for a romantic Izu escape.
Memorable Izu diningMeals focus on local ingredients such as nearby seafood, real wasabi, and rare Izu beef, giving the food a strong regional identity. Dining is served in a private dining room, which adds comfort and a more polished experience.
Great for special occasionsThe ryokan is clearly designed for meaningful stays, from anniversaries to private celebrations, and its small scale makes service feel more tailored. If you want a stay that feels ceremonial rather than purely practical, it stands out.

5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs

Not ideal for tight budgetsA four-room ryokan with private open-air baths, elaborate meals, and a high-touch atmosphere is naturally aimed at the premium end. Travelers mainly looking for value may find it hard to justify.
Limited facilities on siteBecause it is intentionally small, you should not expect the range of amenities found at larger hot spring hotels, such as multiple public baths, lounges, or entertainment options. The appeal here is intimacy, not variety.
Privacy can mean less flexibilityThe ryokan's curated, quiet style works best if you want to slow down and stay in rhythm with the property. Travelers who prefer casual in-and-out convenience may find the experience a bit structured.
Oceanfront feel without beach immediacyThe views are a major strength, but the inn is set on a small hill rather than directly on the sand. If your priority is stepping straight out onto the beach, the setting may feel slightly less effortless than a true beachfront stay.
May book out quicklyWith only four rooms available each day, availability is naturally limited, especially for cherry blossom season or special trips. That makes it less practical for spontaneous planning or travelers with fixed dates.
