Know before you book
- East Izu faces east across Sagami Bay, so a sea view here looks towards the sunrise rather than the sunset.
- Where the listing says every room faces the sea, you need not ask for anything. Three of the five say so: Izu Hotel Resort & Spa, Inatori-so and Kaiyutei. At the other two the view is described for the inn or hotel as a whole, so ask for a sea-facing room.
- The Izukyu line runs along this coast and the Odoriko limited express comes through from Tokyo. Only Kaiyutei is a walk from its station (Kawazu, about seven minutes). Inatori-so and Tokai Yuen run shuttle buses from Izu-Inatori, and Izu Hotel from Izu-Atagawa, and all three need booking. Hanamizuki is about five minutes by car from Kawazu.
- Dinner is served at set times, so the last check-in matters: 17:00 at Kaiyutei, 17:30 at Hanamizuki, 18:00 at Inatori-so and Tokai Yuen, 19:00 at Izu Hotel.
- Kawazu is known for its early-flowering cherry trees, which bloom in February. Rooms near that month fill first.
- Prices here are per person with dinner and breakfast, for two sharing. Every one of these adds a bathing tax of ¥150 to ¥300 per person on top.
How we chose: theme, conditions, scoring
How we chose
- Candidates: every property in East Izu listed on Rakuten Travel — 99
- Passed the review filter (counts and averages on Rakuten Travel, the one site that lists every property in the area): 57
- Met every condition below: 13
- Kept: five, each the best at something different
Where the facts come from
- Facts: Rakuten Travel property information (in some articles, each hotel’s own site too)
- Prices: Rakuten Travel live availability, Wednesdays and Saturdays over eight weeks
- Reviews: the count and average on Rakuten Travel, as given in each hotel’s Trust row. Agoda’s reviews are shown under each hotel name for reference only and do not count towards the score
Conditions (all of them, not most of them)
- In Rakuten Travel’s East Izu and Kawazu district, with a hot-spring bath
- The sea can be seen, in the hotel’s own words: its name, its Rakuten description or its facility notes say so. A name alone, a view of the town or the mountains, or a guest review mentioning the sea did not count
- At least 30 reviews on Rakuten Travel, averaging 4.0 or better

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Inatori Ginsuiso | Runner-up (61/100) | 61 points against 65 for the fifth pick. Its 3,573 reviews are the most of the eight, but at about ¥25,000–64,000 per person on a weekday it costs 115% of the median of the hotels we compared, and its room, bath and dinner average of 4.47 earns two stars for quality. |
| Atagawa Ocean Resort | Runner-up (60/100) | 60 points against 65 for the fifth pick. At about ¥12,000–44,000 per person on a weekday it has the lowest weekday starting price of the eight, but its room, bath and dinner average of 4.28 and 4.34 across 810 reviews earn it one star for quality and two for trust. |
| Hotel Setas Royal (BBH Hotel Group) | Runner-up (49/100) | 49 points against 65 for the fifth pick. It is cheap at about ¥13,000–35,000 per person on a weekday, but 4.09 across 515 reviews is the lowest average of the eight, and its room score of 4.06 and facilities score of 3.97 are the weakest. |
| Minshuku Fukumaru | Not chosen | It looks down on the sea from a hill, but it is a four-room guesthouse and Rakuten publishes no room or bath scores for it, so it could not be compared on the same terms. |
| HESTA RESORT Izu | Not chosen | It reopened after renovation on 13 July 2026 and has only 70 reviews so far. |
| Kitagawa Onsen Hotel | Not chosen | Every room faces the sea, but its 4.0 average is the lowest the floor allows, with Rakuten scores of 3.84 for the room and 3.58 for facilities. |
| Hotel Shiki no Kura | Not chosen | It is built around staying with a dog, with a per-dog fee in the main building, and its room score of 4.39 is lower than the five picks. |
Questions visitors ask
Which of these have a sea view from every room?
Three of the five: Izu Hotel Resort & Spa (every room faces the sea and has an open-air bath), Inatori-so (the listing calls every room an ocean view) and Kaiyutei (all 12 rooms are ocean-front). Hanamizuki and Inatori Tokai Hotel Yuen describe a view over the Izu Islands for the inn as a whole, so ask for a sea-facing room when you book. Among the runners-up, Atagawa Ocean Resort and Hotel Setas Royal also say every room faces the sea.
Which have a bath in the room?
Izu Hotel Resort & Spa gives every one of its 26 rooms an open-air bath, and every one of Hanamizuki’s four rooms has a bath. Inatori-so has a paid private family bath, and Inatori Tokai Hotel Yuen has a family bath too.
I’m coming by train. Which are easiest to reach?
Kaiyutei is about seven minutes on foot from Kawazu station. Inatori-so and Inatori Tokai Hotel Yuen send a shuttle bus to Izu-Inatori station (Inatori-so meets trains between 14:00 and 18:00, Tokai Yuen runs 13:30 to 18:00 and must be booked ahead), Izu Hotel Resort & Spa runs a reserved shuttle from Izu-Atagawa station, and Hanamizuki is about five minutes by car from Kawazu. Of the runners-up, Atagawa Ocean Resort and Hotel Setas Royal are about five minutes on foot from Izu-Atagawa.
What is the latest I can arrive?
Last check-in is 17:00 at Kaiyutei, 17:30 at Hanamizuki, 18:00 at Inatori-so and Inatori Tokai Hotel Yuen, and 19:00 at Izu Hotel Resort & Spa. Call the hotel if you will be late.
I have a tattoo. Can I use these baths?
None of the five publishes a tattoo policy, so ask when you book. The reliable route is a bath you use alone: Izu Hotel Resort & Spa has an open-air bath in every room, Hanamizuki has a bath in each of its four rooms, and Inatori-so has a paid private family bath.
Which one would you book?
Oyado Hanamizuki: 84 points, with 4.83 on Rakuten for room, bath, dinner and breakfast and a bath in every one of its four rooms, at about ¥26,000 per person on a weekday. It has only 76 reviews, so if you want a larger sample, Inatori-so has 1,355. For a walk from the station, Kaiyutei is the cheapest of the five, from about ¥20,000.
How much do these cost, and when were prices checked?
On 2 November 2026 we searched Rakuten Travel availability for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 11 November 2026 and 2 January 2027, taking the cheapest plan with dinner and breakfast and showing it per person for two sharing. Weekday rates ran from about ¥20,000 (Kaiyutei) to ¥57,000 (Izu Hotel Resort & Spa). Every one of the five adds a bathing tax of ¥150 to ¥300 per person. Prices change daily, so check the link before you book.
