3-Star Hotels in Izu

Very traditional ryokan with delicious seafood!

Our stay at Arujisu was absolutely amazing. We stayed for 2 nights in January and are very satisfied. While English among staff is limited, they are respectful and do their absolute best to help and communicate - but there are no issues google translate can’t solve for more complicated conversations. The facilities were clean and simple. Everything is very well maintained despite the building being a bit dated. Having a private onsen on the balcony with a view of the ocean (perfect for sunset) is just an amazing experience. I would also recommend walking into town and enjoying the new observation deck, it’s only a 20-30 minute walk through a lovely quiet town (quiet for us since it was the off season). You get a great view of the bay and there’s a foot bath, cafe/restaurant, and washrooms. Where the true value lies at Arujisu is the dining experience. The food is absolutely exceptional, prepared by incredibly hard working Japanese women. I will say, give yourself about 15 minute buffer before your scheduled meal times as they will come early! (Ex: if your dinner is scheduled for 6:15 PM, be ready by 5:55-6:00 PM) My partner and I have no dietary restrictions, nor are we picky eaters, so if you want to experience authentic & perfectly curated fresh, clean, Japanese seafood - you cannot go wrong here. I’m not sure how easy it would be to communicate allergies/dietary restrictions/preferences to staff or how much customization is possible. You will need to be comfortable deboning fish and handling seafood (ex: crab legs) to get the most of every meal. Every meal really impressed us and we really enjoyed the dining experience. We took trains and buses to get there and it was quite easy/convenient. The walk from the bus station to the property is about 15 minutes but it’s along the ocean with a lovely view. We really enjoyed the walk!

Omakase style dinner and breakfast was amazing, beautiful scenery from our room window!

Super traditional Japanese style, super helpful and kind staff.

Wonderful stay! Two floors to choose from of baths. Large room with view of ocean. Buffet was fun and lots to choose from. We explored the peninsula by bus. Great place

The nature around, the sound of a river, peace and beauty. The room was wide, a private onsen was very nice.

The hotel was what we expected, a bit run down and old fashioned, difficult to get to except by car. Once inside we changed our minds quickly. Although the staff did not speak English, they were very kind and did everything they could to try to communicate, the environment was warm and familiar. But what made us realize how great this place was were the dinner and breakfast, traditional and AMAZING, these alone were worth the trip

The room is big and very clean, the quilt is new, smells good and soft. There is a relaxing room, which contains massage chairs, hanging chairs and foot massage machines. The milk in the vending machine is so fresh and sweet that I drink it many times. Thanks to the wonderful staff, I have a great journey here.

The cozy, stylish atmosphere of the Kona Stay. eBike is available to guests who want to rent.

set up on top of the hill, I loved the location and view of the rooftop open air onsen. also, the breakfast buffet was very good and I’ve had a few Japanese hotel breakfast buffets after living here for 6 years.
