Yokohama Fujiyoshi Izuten
9,6/10 Exceptional - Based on 16 reviews
Yokohama Fujiyoshi Izuten sits on a wooded hillside above the coast in Itō on the Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka, combining traditional ryokan architecture with sea views. Guest rooms follow a Japanese style with tatami flooring and futon bedding, and several include in-room baths fed by natural hot-spring water. Public terraces and a garden extend the living space; large windows frame sunrises. For travellers seeking private bathing, this ryokan with private onsen Izu, Shizuoka pairs seclusion with accessible coastal scenery.
The property maintains several small hot-spring baths and open-air tubs that can be used without sharing, allowing guests to reserve sessions for exclusive use; some rooms also offer their own kake‑nagashi-style flow of onsen water. Meals emphasise seasonal seafood and regional produce, served in multi-course style at set times to preserve freshness and presentation. Amenities include complimentary Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, flat-screen television, electric kettles and provided toiletries; on-site parking and a shuttle service to the nearest train station simplify arrival and departure logistics.
Front-desk hours are arranged to accommodate arrivals in the mid-afternoon and departures by mid-morning, and staff provide assistance with local itineraries for walks along coastal trails, nearby museums and parks. The ryokan accepts families and couples, maintains non-smoking guest rooms and does not permit pets, and its compact scale favours personalised service rather than large-hotel facilities. Positioned as a calm base for exploring eastern Izu and Shizuoka’s coastal hot-spring towns, the intimate atmosphere and multiple private-bath options make it a practical choice for travellers wanting a traditional onsen stay.

Review summary for: Yokohama Fujiyoshi Izuten
Positive Reviews
Stunning location and sea views
Ryokan sits on a high, forested site overlooking the ocean; guests praised beautiful views from rooms and of sunrises from the baths.
Many private onsen, including in-room baths
Property offers multiple private hot springs (several small and larger rotenburo) and many guests had an in-room private onsen, allowing relaxed, reservation-free bathing.
Excellent, generous meals with fresh seafood
Dinner and breakfast were frequently described as high quality and abundant (fresh fish, oysters, tuna, dishes cooked at the table); portions are large and guests enjoyed the variety and taste.
Attentive, helpful staff and transport service
Staff were repeatedly noted as friendly, attentive and accommodating; the ryokan provides pick-up/return to the station on request and offered thoughtful service (e.g., child meal options).
Traditional ryokan charm and good value
Guests appreciated the authentic, traditional atmosphere, spacious clean rooms, natural hot spring water without additives, and considered the overall experience good value.
Negative Reviews
Occasional insects due to natural location
Because the ryokan is in a mountainous/forested area, some guests noticed occasional small insects in rooms; this did not generally affect the overall experience but was mentioned several times.
Temporary closure or limited access to some baths
One review noted that after typhoon damage a pump failure prevented access to several hot springs, meaning some baths were unavailable during the stay.
Limited shower facilities in one outdoor bath area
A guest suggested that the 'Shin-Sagami' (new) bath would benefit from having more showers, indicating limited shower availability in that area.
Staff entered rooms during meals without prior notice
One guest appreciated staff tidying the room but would have preferred a brief notice before staff entered while the party was at dinner.
Rooms can feel cold
A guest reported the room was cold during their stay, which may be a concern in cooler months.
