Omuro no Mori Gyokusui -13 years or older-
--- The property is not yet rated
Set on a wooded hillside above the Izu coastline, Omuro no Mori Gyokusui presents a calm, adults-only stay (guests 13 years and older) that blends traditional ryokan warmth with contemporary comforts. The property’s architecture and public spaces emphasise framed sea views and seasonal planting, creating a quiet retreat that opens toward the Pacific and nearby Mount Ōmuro in Ito. As a ryokan with private onsen Shizuoka, it markets a composed, privacy-minded atmosphere that suits couples or travellers seeking a measured, restorative pace away from busier resorts.
Accommodation is arranged across four distinct room types, each designed to bring the surrounding landscape into the living area and fitted with a source-flowing (gensen kakenagashi) open-air bath on the terrace; several suites add extended decks and separate living rooms. Rooms are appointed with amenities intended for extended comfort—complimentary in-room fridge drinks, coffee makers, robes and bedding that combine Western and Japanese styles—and some offer extras such as massage chairs. Onsen management is described as hands-on, with staff trained to look after water quality and guest experience; every principal guestroom therefore functions as a room with its own private bathing facility, making this an explicit ryokan with private onsen in Ito.

Clean, well-maintained facilities and luxurious rooms
Guests noted that the property is well managed and clean, with fully equipped facilities and luxurious rooms—many felt the overall experience (rooms, views, food, service) justified the cost.
Negative Reviews
Relatively high price
One guest noted the hotel's rates are higher than some other hotels; although that reviewer still felt the quality of rooms, views, cuisine and service made it good value, price may be a consideration for some travellers.
Many reviews lack written detail
Several reviewers left no written comments, so there is limited detailed feedback across multiple stays.
Predominance of short stays limits long-stay feedback
A large number of stays were one- or two-night visits; this means there is less information available from longer stays about extended-stay aspects of the property.
