- Of the 76 inns in Rakuten Travel’s listing, 17 list the guest room as a dinner venue. Of our five, only Arai Ryokan lists it as the sole venue; the other four also list a hall, a private room or a dining room, so check the plan when you book.
- Shuzenji and Izu-Nagaoka are on the Izuhakone Railway, which starts at Mishima on the Tokaido Shinkansen. Izu-Nagaoka is about 20 minutes from Mishima; Shuzenji is the end of the line.
- Few inns are a walk from the station. Fukuritei Ogawaya sends a free pick-up from Izu-Nagaoka (tell the inn), Ebisuya runs one from 15:00 to 18:00, and Sanyoso offers one. Arai Ryokan is about 10 minutes by bus or taxi from Shuzenji. Togetsuso Kinryu has no pick-up.
- Ryokan dinners run to a clock. Arai Ryokan starts dinner at 18:00 or 18:30 and cannot serve it after 19:00; Ebisuya’s last start is 19:00; Sanyoso’s last check-in on dinner plans is 17:00; Togetsuso Kinryu asks you to telephone if you will be past 18:00.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ootori-so | Runner-up (70/100) | 70/100, sixth of the eight we compared. Its 4.32 average across 324 reviews limits it to 2 stars each for quality and trust, even though its rates are low. |
| Komatsuya Happonbo | Runner-up (69/100) | 69/100, one point behind Ootori-so. Dinner is rated 4.75, but the dog-oriented stay suits fewer guests and it scores 4 stars for ease where each of the five has 5. |
| Hotel Laforet Shuzenji Sanshisuimei | Runner-up (68/100) | 68/100, the lowest of the eight. Every room has an open-air bath, but the 4.21 average across 490 reviews and the 3.93 for dinner hold back its quality and trust stars. |
| Izu-Nagaoka Onsen Kameya Keian | Outside the theme | 4.64 across 320 reviews, and Rakuten’s facility information lists the room as a dinner venue, but the inn’s notice says meals are served in a dining venue, not in your room. |
| Tanigawa no Yu Asebino | Outside the theme | 4.85 across 435 reviews, but Rakuten lists a private room as its dinner venue and does not mention the guest room. |
| Yukairo Kikuya (Kyoritsu Resort) | Outside the theme | 4.49 across 1,724 reviews, but its dinner venue is a dining hall and the guest room is not listed. |
| Hotel Laforet Shuzenji | Below the review floor | 3.97 across 856 reviews, under the 4.0 floor. |
Questions visitors ask
If I book a room-dining ryokan, will dinner always be in my room?
Not always. Of the five, only Arai Ryokan lists the room as its sole dinner venue. Fukuritei Ogawaya lists a room or a hall, Togetsuso Kinryu and Ebisuya a room or a private room, and Sanyoso a room or a dining room, so confirm in-room dining when you book. Fukuritei Ogawaya’s own description says kaiseki is served in every room.
Can I have breakfast in my room too?
On Rakuten’s facility information, all five list the room as a breakfast venue. Fukuritei Ogawaya lists a room or a hall, Togetsuso Kinryu and Ebisuya a room or a private room, and Arai Ryokan and Sanyoso a room or a dining room.
Which inns are easy to reach by train?

Fukuritei Ogawaya has a free pick-up from Izu-Nagaoka station (tell the inn), Ebisuya runs one from 15:00 to 18:00 and Sanyoso offers one. Arai Ryokan is about 10 minutes by bus or taxi from Shuzenji station, two minutes on foot from the Bamboo Grove. Togetsuso Kinryu has no pick-up; take the local bus or a taxi from Shuzenji.
Is English spoken?
Rakuten’s language field says Arai Ryokan has several staff whose English is close to native and fluent, Togetsuso Kinryu has a few who understand a little English, and Ebisuya has a few with a little Chinese and a little English. Fukuritei Ogawaya and Sanyoso list nothing, so ask when you book.
