I hate to be a naysayer, but my friend and I found the place to be underwhelming. The staff was great, location excellent and food wonderful. The structure itself, however, has seen much better days and needs a lot of TLC. The most recent updating in terms of plumbing,etc., appears to have been from the 1960's or 70's and is... More

This was probably the most wonderful single overnight stay my wife and I have had in 30 years of traveling together. This place is everything it says it is and more. The pictures are beautiful and unbelievable, but they just don't do justice to the place. How can a 2-dimensional photo get across what it's like to sit in an... More

I was here one night with my husband, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The service is five star, there is an specific attendant who'd serve you throughout the stay.

Had a private onsen in the room and within the grounds had some amazing onsens, including a private small and large family one, traditional and outdoor... More

My sis and I put up in Arai Ryokan, which is in Shuzenji, Izu, on 6 Nov 2008. The ryokan's service is excellent where you will be greeted with your name on the "Welcome Board" and the staff at the entrance. We were first led to a room and briefed by an English-speaking staff who also provided us a plan... More
