The river is very noisy but it is a natural sound so we managed to mentally block it so we had no issue sleeping.

The renovated rooms combined the modern with the traditional. It was very spacious, the hot spring tub in the room was a big plus, but we also made use of the free private baths. The food served was with high quality ingredients and with a lot of variety, although for an european some dishes are very strange. Nevertheless it was an experience worth trying. The area around is very beautiful and peaceful.

To get to the property you have to take a bus from Shuzenji which is only serviced by a local train from Mishima. Takes a long time to get there and back—governed by a train/ bus schedule. I recommend that you go to the Shuzenji information office in Shuzenji Station and have them call for shuttle service at Yugashima. I didn’t. The road to the onsen was fairly busy when I used it and it’s narrow and slippery in spots. It rained when I was leaving so I was lucky to have the shuttle take me to the bus stop. There are no signs in English showing you the way, even the hotel sign was in Japanese. The main road runs through the middle of the town and there weren’t many shopping areas. It was difficult to get to the baths and dining areas at first because they were at the end of the corridors and down some steps I had to use the map they’d given me or I’d get lost.

It was rural—next to nature. In an onsen region of Shuzenji. Next to a rushing river. Eat outdoors on a balcony next to the river. Chef/ food was excellent- plentiful Japanese cuisine . Staff was courteous and friendly. Room was large—Japanese style. If your bedding was too hard you could add another layer from the closet. It had unique bathing areas—you could stay indoors or bathe indoors and walk outdoors to either a bamboo grove or a tree, river scene hut where you could soak.

Private bathhouses can be a bit bigger as well as expanded. It was still great, as they provided a live status feed to see if it was occupied or not, with no extra charge to use.

The staff was absolutely amazing and attentive. We had a great view of the river from our room balcony. We had both the breakfast and dinner and it was amazing as well as the atmosphere around the meal with the amazing view of the river. We will definitely return in the future.

There is not much around, you have to drive a long distance to most of Izu's attractions. The main onsen is a little bit plain for such a high-level hotel.

Great room overlooking the river, great variety of private onsens and a huge breakfast while sitting next to the river. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Izu.

The 5-course meal was a lot of food. A couple of the courses, such as the fish, could have been better. Some of the private baths were out of the way to get to and not as convenient or as nice as the in-room bath.

Fantastic room size and a wonderful view of the river. The bathroom was top-notch. Staff was also very friendly and accomodating.

The breakfast was delicious (by the mountain river), the place is gorgeous, clean and spacious. Great place to stay, would recommend to anyone who wants to flee the Tokyo madness!

If there was a cold water area, it would be perfect.

The location is good. There are hiking trails nearby. It's relaxing to listen to the sound of the river just next to the hotel. The staff are very nice. The availability of private onsen can be checked with mobile phone.

This place is just amazing! The room, the location, onsens - it was our best stay during the whole trip. We were a little bit upset that had only one nigth there

You’ll need a car to enjoy outside dining options. But the property offers good meals as well.

Gorgeous forest location by the river and beautiful onsen facilities. Clean and comfortable. The tatami rooms with private onsen are recommended for a full experience. Restaurant by the river is also pretty magical. Recently renovated rooms are wonderful.

The dining area was open air and there were a lot of insects including bees. Same for the outdoor private onsens. It was no issue for me for the smaller insects but the buzzing bees was kind of unnerving. I also did find that overall, the food was above average at best compared to other ryokans I have stayed in the past. But that said, taste is a personal preference. Another small matter was when the ryokan contacted prior to my stay to ask for any dietry restrictions, I had told them the item I do not eat. They replied that they do not serve that. But guess what, during dinner. One of the items was that particular ingredient.

Quiet and had 4 private onsens available for use. Rooms were big and comfortable, with good amenities. Very friendly staff as well.

The hotel staff was super nice and helpful. One of my friends forgot his ear-pods in the room and we had left Izu. The hotel staff quickly helped to send the ear-pods to our new hotel. Good view at the mountain and the stream from the room window. 4 private onsens for reservation and 1 public one. The futons are comfortable for sleep. The traditional Yukata was offered during the stay.

Tatsuta Ryokan is quite possibly the most incredible place we've ever stayed in (and we've travelled a lot!). Our room was impeccably clean, comfortable and beautiful. We had a private Onsen in our room which was just perfect. The food (kaiseki) was delicious and plentiful, as were the breakfasts. Sitting by the river during our meals added to the experience. The staff were all so incredibly hospitable and friendly. You can enjoy various Onsens throughout your stay. We've never felt so clean in our lives! The area is very calm and makes a nice break after a few hectic days in Tokyo. The surrounding landscape is so beautiful and there are lots of lovely walking routes. We would 100% recommend this Ryokan and we will definitely return. Thank you Tatsuta for making our honeymoon so memorable! :)

The dinner and breakfast were OK. It was somewhat difficult to get to.

Onsen were great. Staff were great. Room was really nice.

Not the easiest location to reach (had to take Shinkansen from Tokyo, changed to a local train, then bus), however the tourist information staffs were friendly and helpful hence not too much difficulty. Otherwise the Ryokan was perfect

I went during weekday and it was off peak season according to the staff, hence it was very quiet (literally around 4 stayers in total). I was able to enjoy all the facilities without any problem. The Ryokan was very clean, quiet and with my room right next to a river, I felt an immense zen feeling. The staffs were very thoughtful too who was able to pick me up from the nearest bus station We also get to have Kaiseki dinner by the river! What an experience
