Atagawa Ocean Resort
8,4/10 Excellent - Based on 245 reviews
Atagawa Ocean Resort sits on the Izu coastline and presents itself as a contemporary coastal ryokan blending Japanese bathing culture with resort comforts. With around 75 rooms arranged to capture sea views, the property markets itself as a ryokan with onsen in Izu, offering guests a clear connection to the Pacific horizon and a range of room plans from Western-style twin rooms to Japanese–Western combinations with tatami space. The atmosphere is geared toward families and couples seeking a seaside stay that pairs communal hot-spring facilities with modern guest services.
The bathing facilities are a central feature: guests can use a hot spring bath, a public bath and an open-air bath that look toward the ocean, while an outdoor pool (operated seasonally) sits on an upper floor for summer swimming with a view. On-site dining spans three distinct restaurants serving local seafood, Japanese set menus and European options alongside a buffet breakfast; additional amenities include a small arcade, a shop, a beauty salon and a dedicated dog run and pet-friendly rooms. These communal and leisure offerings underline the property’s positioning as a ryokan with onsen in Shizuoka that accommodates multi-generational stays and pet travel.
Guest rooms emphasize comfort and practicality: many have balconies or sea-facing windows and some room types are advertised with in-room or view baths, while standard inclusions cover air conditioning, private bathrooms and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Practical details for travellers include convenient access from the local rail stop on the Izu-Atagawa line and easy walking distance to the nearby shore, free on-site parking and family-sized layouts; the combination of visible ocean access, communal onsen facilities and varied dining makes the resort a straightforward option for those seeking a coastal hot-spring stay on the Izu peninsula.
