Nestled into a forest area, Izu is a great place for those of you who are interested in nature and outdoor activities. The area, in general, is most famous for its natural hot springs, the Shuzenji Temple and strangely enough old fashioned English steam trains that operate on the Shuzenji Romney Railway. Izu is a very special and unique place with breathtaking natural landscapes to get lost in. We’d recommend a visit to the Kano River, Joren Falls, Mt Amagi and even snorkeling. If you are going as a romantic getaway be sure to visit Lover’s Point in the Cape Toi area and ring the mystical Love Bell. After all of that exploring, we’re sure you’ll be looking to relax and unwind. We know that some of our readers want to dive headfirst in Japanese culture, while others prefer to have a few western comforts. So, to help you find your ideal base we’ve selected the best ryokans in Izu, Shizuoka, Japan so that you can book your East-meets-West holiday. Simply scroll below and start planning.

It is worth noting that all of the rooms are only suitable for up to two people. This may not be your ideal match if you plan to travel in a large group, but if you’re a couple looking for a romantic getaway, then look no further than Shirakabeso. We’re also impressed that, if requested at check-in, a western-style breakfast, instead of the regular Japanese-style breakfast can be arranged.

This property has earned 4 stars and as such guests can also take full advantage of additional amenities such as a 24-hour front desk, terrace area, and hot tub.
