Izu Mitohama Shotokan
--- The property is not yet rated
Izu Mitohama Shotokan sits on a promontory over Uchiura Bay, offering rooms that look across Suruga Bay to Mount Fuji. Founded in 1911, the property blends Sukiya-style interiors with contemporary comforts across 21 distinctive rooms arranged to prioritise sea views and quiet colour tones. Visitors find tatami areas, the choice of futon or Western beds and in-room amenities such as large-screen TVs, humidifiers and complimentary mineral water. This ryokan with onsen in Izu emphasises measured hospitality and seasonal presentation.
As a ryokan with private onsen in Shizuoka, Shotokan operates public indoor and rooftop outdoor baths (Fuji no Yu and Ashitaka no Yu) that are alternated for men and women, alongside a private family bath bookable for couples or families. Many room types feature a semi open-air or half open-air rotemburo, and the top-floor viewing baths frame daytime views of Mount Fuji and the line of fishing lights at night. Staff services include a shuttle from Izu Nagaoka Station, DVD and humidifier lending, two yukata per guest and a welcome draft beer at check‑in.
Dinners are presented as multcourse Izu-style kaiseki that highlight locally sourced seafood and seasonally selected ingredients, served in the dining room with timings organised so arriving guests may dine if they reach the hotel by the evening service. The property maintains a 20-hour stay rhythm with check‑in around 14:30 and check‑out at 10:30; private bath reservations and dinner requests should be made on arrival. A short walk from the peninsula’s marine attractions, the hotel suits travellers seeking a seaside ryokan experience with onsen access and attentive, tailored hospitality.
