Reviews of Isaribi (No Children) 4 stars

What can I say, an extrodinary experience. My wife and I started our 8-day honeymoon trip here, and that two nights' stay at Isaribi was the most peaceful and wonderful time at Japan. The location is 8 min's walk from Izu-Okawa station, which is one stop from Izu-Kogen station. Hotel provides shuttle service during daytime. Not many rooms, most of the time you feel like you own the whole place. Decoration, service, onsen, meal, nothing to complain about, 10/10 from my wife`s review.

If I really really had to pick on something, the atmosphere is too quiet that you can hear the sound of footstep in the hotel, but considering the wooden structure, I guess that's the cost if you prefer the authentic Japanese decoration. If you had sleep disorde by any chance, think twice.

After spending lots of time in the city, it was refreshing to find ourselves in this remote part of Japan. All the staff at Isaribi were incredibly friendly and welcoming and made it their mission to have us be as relaxed as possible. The private onsen was a real treat and we especially enjoyed the outdoor hot spring and the in-room hot tub. I'm not sure I've ever experienced a stay that left me so relaxed! The food was delicious and plentiful and was served to us by the staff each morning/night. Our Kaiseki dinner was probably my favorite meal of our 10 days in Japan. I found the bed comfortable and slept well. It was a bit stormy while we were there and I just loved opening the window and watching the sea/listening to the storms. If you are up for some hiking there are some beautiful coastal hikes nearby if you take the train a couple of stops north (hikes: Jogasaki coast, Tajima Falls).

I found myself missing having somewhere to lie down during the day since the futon is generally packed up during the day. (you can easily unpack it and use it, but just have to set it up). Considering we are more in the countryside, I was impressed with the staffs' English although at times, we relied on Google Translate. I don't mind this, but others might.

Meals were outstanding.

The outdoor baths need to be updated and hotter and cleaned!

Fantastic views and private onsen Sparkly clean Food is delicious Staff are welcoming and friendly

What can I say? If you want to experience a Japanese onsen, it is perfect. The welcome with a small matcha and delicacies and, if necessary, a shuttle to pick you up at the station was exellent. The person who greeted us spoke very good English. The room was typical of Japanese inns with a hot spring inside (adjustable heat). The two baths are really good with a ‘first come first served’ system you can get in and lock behind you to have the huge onsen all to yourself. With this system you can go with friends/family or as lovers. We also had meals included, and they were truly fabulous, a big bravo to the chef. If you want quality, don't hesitate, It will really be worth it, if I go through Izu again I'll definitely come back. Thank you for the experience, it was really great.

Clean, comfortable facilities. I love that all the large baths are private in addition to the private bath in the rooms. Their service is also top notch as always. Excellent communication via Booking.com messaging and email. They shuttle you to and from Izu-Okawa station. This time, my sister and I did their aromatherapy massage and it was amazing! I can't say enough good things. This was my second time at Isaribi and we stayed in a western room this time. They also have tatami rooms but both are great, just up to your preference. Thank you Isaribi!

The food was not as good as other onsen that serve meals in the room.

Stunning location, wonderful hot springs, perfect staff, gorgeous room and relaxing atmosphere.

Nothing at all.

Spacious, beautiful location and amazing service

A Slice of Paradise: Our Perfect Stay at Isaribi Ryokan Every trip has those special moments that make you think, “This—this is why all the planning, long flights, and expense were worth it.” For me and my family, our one-night stay at Isaribi Ryokan was that moment during our two-week trip to Japan this fall. From start to finish, everything about our stay was flawless—I genuinely can’t imagine how it could have be any better. Writing this review is my way of saying a heartfelt thank you to Isaribi and its incredible staff for an unforgettable experience. Pre-Arrival: The Warmest Welcome The hospitality at Isaribi started long before we even arrived. From the moment I booked, the staff were in touch, making sure everything was tailored to us. They reached out to confirm our arrival time, offered to pick us up from the train station, and even asked about dietary preferences. When I mentioned that my father doesn’t like raw fish, they assured me they’d prepare cooked versions of all meals for him (and boy did they deliver—more on that later). Their kindness and attention to detail instantly put me at ease and set the tone for what was to come. Arrival and Check-In As promised, a staff member greeted us at the station and drove us to the ryokan. Upon arrival, we swapped our shoes for comfortable zori sandals—and to my relief, even my dad’s size 13 feet found sandals that fit perfectly. While we waited for our room to be ready, we were treated to matcha tea and Japanese sweets in the lobby. The airy sitting area had breathtaking sea views, and there was even a coffee and espresso machine available for guests to use anytime, with both proper cups and takeout options. It felt like they had thought of everything. The Room: A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Comfort We stayed in Room 206, which is their largest room, and it was nothing short of spectacular.

Everything was perfect, there is genuinely nothing that comes to mind that needs improvement.

Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, location and rooms were great quality.

The stuff is very friendly, and the property is super clean !! The food was so good and the hot spring is very private and good for couple ! Strongly recommended and definitely will come back !!!
