This ryokan is renowned for its historical architecture and serene setting along the Shuzenji River. Guests are greeted with classic tatami mat rooms and sliding shoji doors, providing an authentic retreat that immerses visitors in Japanese culture.

One of the standout features of Arai Ryokan is its natural hot spring baths (onsen), which provide a relaxing way to unwind after exploring the local area. The ryokan’s gardens offer tranquility and beauty, inviting guests to stroll among meticulously cared-for landscapes.

The onsen serves as an ideal lodging choice for those wishing to explore nearby attractions such as Shuzenji Temple or take leisurely walks along the bamboo-lined paths. Proximity to these sites makes it easy for guests to enjoy the cultural heritage and natural beauty without needing extensive travel. Additionally, Izu’s famed coastline lies within reach for day trips.

While offering many positives, potential guests should be aware that some amenities may cater more towards traditional experiences rather than modern conveniences. Visitors seeking ultra-modern facilities might find this aspect less appealing.
