The bathroom to shower before entering the outdoor onsen is on the opposite side of the room

Impeccable service, cleanliness, spaciousness, in-room private outdoor onsen, exceptional meal, privacy

NIL.

The staff from the very start, even though I can't speak Japanese, was extremely accomodating to me. They also took note of my shellfish allergies and ensured that my meals do not have them. That said, I can still eat traces of shellfish and still be fine, if potential travellers are completely allergic to even the tiniest bit of shellfish, the ryokan may not be able to accomodate to your meals. The ryokan is 50mins away from Tokyo, in a quiet town of Atami. It's about 5 minutes drive from the station, or 15 mins walking if you are up for a downhill walk. I took the room with the private onsen, so I don't feel the need to intrude with other customers at the grand bath(though the grand bath is pretty sweet too). The meals are delicious. Worth it. Now as for the price, do take note it is on the pricier end so it's not for budget travellers (though this is one of yhe things worth splurging money into). To conclude, I would like to thank Ayaka for being a great attendant for the first half of my stay. As for the second half, I also would like to thank the other attendant (I unfortunately forgot her name) for being helpful and accommodating. Thank you, and I will come back again, and hopefully I can speak fluent Japanese on my second trip!

shower was a bit tricky to use, sometimes dinner service felt a bit rushed in some courses, bed was a bit hard for our taste

spacious and clean rooms, friendly staff, enjoyed the private onsen, beautifully presented food

Stayed in June 2025

No complaints or dislikes whatsoever. Everything was perfect! For anyone staying here, I'd recommend the room with its own outdoor bathtub/ofuro.

Breakfast and the kaiseki dinner were both in-room and exceedingly delicious and wonderful. The ofuro/outdoor bath was immensely relaxing, restorative and transforming (be sure to shower completely before entering even though it's private). The staff were formal, friendly and hospitable. This was easily my most favourite stay (one night) of the entire 14 day visit to Japan. I'd love to stay here again, but the price is high (understandably so). Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be cherished.

Furuya Ryokan is a luxury Ryokan. When you arrive you are greeted by a handful of staff. They will help you with your shoes and your host will guide you to your room showing and explaining everything you need to know and where to find everything. She'll serve you some tea and get some Yukatas ready matching your size. After the introductions you can enjoy a nice bath in the public bath (resevered for hotel guests of course). Our room had a spacious hot tub outside which we also enjoyed. Dinner and breakfast is served in the room by the host who guided you to your room earlier on. The menu was amazing with many small dishes where you can discover various delicacies! Once dinner is over another person will get your futons ready and you can enjoy a good night's sleep! We were amazed by this Ryokan, the devotion and passion of the staff making everything for an unforgettable stay!

None that I can think of.

Absolutely fantastic traditional hot spring inn, the facilities were top notch and the food was spectacular. The room we stayed in had its own private stone bath and overall was very spacious and clean. Although on the more expensive side, it is worth every penny and the entire experience there more than justifies the price.

I have no complaints; everything was great. My only recommendation might be to have a little more detailed information (in English) about places of interest outside the onsen, especially those in walking distance. For example, are there any hiking/walking trails in the adjacent hills? Besides along the beach, are there recommended routes for running?

We stayed 2 nights, and both dinners and breakfasts were exceptional. We have been to high quality onsens before, so we had a good idea what to expect, and the quality, presentation, and variety of food items was outstanding. We also managed to be assigned an unusually large suite that we also appreciated. Our assigned hostess took excellent care of us and speaks very good English.

Spacious room, private hot spring bath, dinner and breakfast were delicious with amazing variety of food.

Nothing.

The place was beautiful and close to the train station, which was good. We were well received and introduced to our attendant, Ami, who was very nice and attentive. The dinner was an incredible experience, and the breakfast as well (just be ready to eat many dishes during dinner and breakfast, just a heads-up). It was very relaxing to have our own onsen in the room, and we slept well on our futons. Atami was a cute city to visit, I recommend taking a tour before leaving. All in all a perfect stay for our honeymoon!

Amazing service and facilities. If you are looking for an authentic Ryokan experience this is the place to choose. Special mention to Ayaka who took great care of us during our stay.

Impeccable! Just perfect in every sense. Furuya Ryokan, beating the odds of being surrounded by taller buildings, it shines like a gem, like a lily in the desert. Its serene and well thought of layout design, its attentive and dedicated team members, its exquisite and elaborate traditional kaiseki meals served in guest rooms, - it is impossible to find any faults - one feels sincerely welcome, feels at home and doesn’t feel the need to go out of the ryokan.

Stayed in October 2024

Nothing! It's a slight walk from the train station so if that's a problem for you then you can take a taxi with no trouble. If you aren't used to Japanese style food or sleeping on the floor it will be a new experience :)

Our room was bigger than expected and had it's own onsen. The dinner was amazing with many dishes to try and was more food than we could eat. The staff was nice and helpful. Truly a first class ryokan experience!

Not cheap, but amazing place for people who want to experience traditional Japanese riyokan. The room is marvellous and the staff is very polite. Our guide was Mrs. Mika who was extremely helpful and polite. The localization is perfect - you can walk 5 minutes to Atami Beach, where you can sunbath. The breakfasts and dinners at Riyokan are really delicious. And one thing more - the gate of the Riyokan was used in Akira Kurosawa' s film Kagemusha. Greetings from Poland!

Very clean, all the staff were very professional, caring, attentive and friendly. Food was excellent! Room had excellent lights with warm feelings of the room, and it was very comfortable and relaxing. Great location to the beach and shopping area.

Nothing..maybe a bit pricy but our room was 731sqft.. huge. So I think it's fair

Fantastic staff 👏

Furuya Ryokan was a traditional Japanese ryokan and it was absolutely amazing. The rooms with private onsen baths were incredible - they were huge, traditional, and the baths were amazing. The kaiseki dinners and breakfasts were some of the best meals I have ever eaten. The staff of the ryokan were fantastic across the board, from the check-in desk to the attendant for our room who served all of the meals (and was very patient with a group of 5 American tourists, only one of whom spoke Japanese).

The shower takes a few minutes to heat up, but it wasn't a problem once we got used to it.

The food was delicious, and the bath was perfect! The futon were clean and comfortable, and it was close enough to the station and town that we could walk around and explore.

The property was exceptional, even for the very high standards which are customary in Japan. It was also exceptionally good value with a quality first class dinner and breakfast

The room, the onsen, the service was at the highest standard, the personal did everything possible to make my stay perfect.
