Pets welcome, hot spring open 24 hours
Reviews: Rakuten Travel 4.67/5 (160) · Agoda 8.9/10 (40) · 200 in total
- The description says the freshly flowing hot spring can be used 24 hours a day and that dinner is a choice of menus
- On a hill 10 minutes by taxi from Ito station
Why it made the five
- A weeknight comes to about ¥18,000 per person, the lowest weekday rate of the five.
- Dinner rated 4.77, breakfast 4.75 and service 4.74.
- Dinner and breakfast in your room or a dining room, depending on the plan.
- Pets stay in the rooms on a dedicated plan; there is also a family bath.
Getting there: 10 minutes by taxi from JR Ito station (about ¥900, says Rakuten). The inn is on a hill, and the listing says walking, about 30 minutes, is difficult because of steep slopes. Free parking for 10 cars. Check-out 10:00; last check-in 21:00.
Language and payment: Rakuten lists staff who understand a little English. It lists Visa, JCB, American Express, Diners Club and Mastercard.
-
Right for: Travelling with a dog, or wanting to bathe whenever you like.
-
Not for: Wanting to walk from the station (the hill is steep), or a large public bath (the listing shows a family bath).
-
Worth knowing: Rakuten lists the room and a dining room for both meals, so confirm in-room dining when you book. Pets need the dedicated plan. The bathing tax is ¥300 per adult, paid at the inn.

Know before you book
- Ito is on the east coast of the Izu peninsula, on the JR Ito line from Atami, and the Odoriko limited express from Tokyo runs through to it. That makes it an easy night away from Tokyo without a long drive.
- In-room dinner is not automatic. Of the eleven inns whose Rakuten listing offers dinner in the room, four of the five in this guide also list another venue: a dining room, a private room or a restaurant. Only Ayu no Kaze lists the room alone. Read the plan name or ask when you book.
- Getting there varies. Aoyama Yamato sends a pick-up from Ito station every 30 minutes from 13:30 to 17:30 without a reservation; Sora no Ue sends one from Minami-Ito station by reservation; Yamatoso is 10 minutes by taxi, uphill; Ayu no Kaze is 15 minutes on foot from Ito station; Kaze no Kaori lists only directions for drivers.
- Ryokan dinners start at set times, so arrival time matters. Last check-in is 17:00 at Sora no Ue, Ayu no Kaze and Aoyama Yamato, 17:30 at Kaze no Kaori and 21:00 at Yamatoso. Ayu no Kaze starts dinner at 18:00 and asks you to arrive by about 17:00.
- Check what you will pay at the door. The bathing tax listed at these inns runs from ¥150 to ¥300 per adult, and Ayu no Kaze takes cash only. The card brands Rakuten lists differ from inn to inn, so check each inn’s line below.
- Prices are per person with dinner and breakfast, for two sharing, and the Saturday rate can be lower than the weeknight rate: Yamatoso was ¥13,000–20,000 on a Saturday against ¥18,000 on a weeknight in our search.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ito Ryokuyu | Runner-up (78/100) | 78/100. Its 4.42 average across 116 reviews and 4.52 average for room, bath and dinner are lower than the five, and a weeknight of ¥37,000–64,000 per person is level with the median. |
| Ito Onsen Yokikan | Runner-up (73/100) | 73/100. A 4.36 average across 710 reviews and a 4.35 average for room, bath and dinner are lower than the five, so quality and trust each scored two stars, despite a low weeknight rate of ¥29,000. |
| Ito Onsen Hotel Yoshino | Runner-up (70/100) | 70/100, the lowest of the eight. A 4.25 average across 1,296 reviews and a 4.32 average for room, bath and dinner are lower than the five, so quality and trust each scored two stars, despite a low weeknight rate of ¥25,000. |
| Izu Ito Kinmedai no Yado Kokorone | Outside the theme | 4.77 across 2,705 reviews, but dinner is in a dining hall, with no mention of the guest room. |
| Luxury Wa Hotel Kaze no Kaori UMI | Outside the theme | 4.68 across 1,534 reviews, but dinner is in a private room, with no mention of the guest room. |
| Ito Hotel Juraku | Outside the theme | 4.56 across 3,280 reviews, but dinner is in a restaurant, with no mention of the guest room. |
| Ito Onsen Hatoya Hotel | Below the review floor | 3.69 across 2,726 reviews, under our 4.0 floor, and dinner is a restaurant buffet. |
Questions visitors ask
If I book one of these, will dinner definitely be served in my room?
Not on every plan. Ayu no Kaze lists the room as its only dinner venue. Yamatoso serves dinner in your room or a dining room, Sora no Ue in your room or a private room, Kaze no Kaori in your room or its restaurant, and Aoyama Yamato in your room or a private room. The plan decides, so look for in-room dinner (部屋食, heya-shoku) in the plan name or ask when you book.
Can I have breakfast in my room as well?
Yes, at all five the listing shows the room as a breakfast venue: Yamatoso (room or dining room), Sora no Ue (room or private room), Kaze no Kaori (room or restaurant), Ayu no Kaze (room only) and Aoyama Yamato (room or private room).
How do I get there from Tokyo?
Take a train to Ito station. Aoyama Yamato sends a pick-up from there every 30 minutes from 13:30 to 17:30 without a reservation, Yamatoso is 10 minutes by taxi and Ayu no Kaze 15 minutes on foot. Sora no Ue sends a pick-up from Minami-Ito station by reservation. Kaze no Kaori lists only directions for drivers, about an hour from Tomei Atsugi IC, though it offers a taxi fare refund of up to ¥2,500 for train guests.
Do any of them have English-speaking staff?
Rakuten lists staff with a little English at Yamatoso, Sora no Ue, Kaze no Kaori and Aoyama Yamato. Ayu no Kaze does not publish its language support, so write when you book. Of the runners-up, Yokikan lists staff with near-native, fluent English.
Which one would you book?
Yamatoso, top at 89/100. A weeknight is about ¥18,000 per person with dinner and breakfast and the hot spring is open 24 hours, but it sits on a hill 10 minutes by taxi from the station. If you want the pick-up from Ito station and a large bath, Aoyama Yamato is ¥26,000–54,000 per person on a weeknight.
When were these prices checked?
We searched Rakuten Travel availability for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 11 November 2026 and 2 January 2027, taking the cheapest room with dinner and breakfast for two adults and showing it per person (checked 3 November 2026). The bathing tax is paid at the inn. Prices move daily; the link on each inn shows today’s.
