Yururi Nishiizu
--- The property is not yet rated
Yururi Nishiizu occupies a coastal position on the Toi side of the Izu Peninsula and presents itself as a pet-friendly ryokan that blends contemporary guest rooms with traditional bathing facilities. The property is arranged over multiple levels and is noted for upper-floor communal baths and an outdoor rotenburo with sea views, alongside a compact spa area. Practical amenities include free Wi‑Fi, private parking suitable for cars and motorcycles, and services geared to guests travelling with dogs, which makes it convenient for short coastal walks and sunset strolls along nearby beaches.
Guest accommodation is straightforward and functional: rooms are air-conditioned and commonly fitted with a flat-screen TV, refrigerator and storage, with some units offering sea glimpses. Dining follows a ryokan pattern with set dinners and breakfasts served in the dining area, and the kitchen can respond to reasonable dietary requests when informed in advance; pets are frequently accommodated in communal dining spaces under house rules. Bathing is organised around a public upper-floor bath and an outdoor onsen (rotenburo) rather than private in-room tubs, so the property functions as a ryokan with onsen in Izu while keeping easy access to coastal sights such as Odoi Beach and Lover’s Cape.
On the operational side, check-in is scheduled for mid-afternoon through the evening with morning check-out, and the ryokan accepts children and medium-sized dogs subject to vaccination proof and specific pet policies; basic pet amenities and a small selection of supplies are provided. Staff can advise on local activities—short coastal routes, nearby fishing points and other hot-spring attractions—and accommodate late arrivals by prior arrangement. For travellers prioritising a service-oriented, dog‑friendly stay close to the sea, Yururi Nishiizu is presented as a practical ryokan with onsen Shizuoka option.
