Ryokan highlights

A riverside onsen ryokan in Tsukigase, Izu, known for private-bath rooms and refined dining.

Riverside SettingSet by the Kano River in quiet Tsukigase, giving the stay a secluded feel.
Private Onsen RoomsGuest rooms are known for in-room open-air hot spring baths for extra privacy.
Refined DiningMulti-course meals are a major draw, with upscale presentation and seasonal focus.
Romantic AtmosphereStylish, intimate design and private bathing make it especially appealing for couples.
Modern Ryokan StyleBlends traditional ryokan calm with a more contemporary, polished resort feel.
Peaceful Izu BaseA tranquil base for exploring inland Izu while staying away from busier resort hubs.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsDining and in-room bathing are the main stay drivers here, so one night works well for check-in, dinner, private soaking, breakfast, and departure; add a second night only if you want a slower Izu nature loop around Shuzenji, Amagi, or nearby waterfalls without rushing.
Trip-planning verdict: Best as a high-end one- or two-night countryside onsen retreat in central Izu, not as a convenient sightseeing base for a packed rail itinerary.

Know before booking

Car helps a lotThe ryokan is in Tsukigase, not a station town, so rail-only travelers must rely on bus timing or a reserved shuttle.
Limited walkable areaThis is a quiet river-and-onsen setting, not a lively town center with many cafes, shops, or evening options.
Easy to overstayTwo nights is pleasant, but longer stays can feel thin unless you are intentionally touring wider Izu by car.

Should you choose this ryokan?

This is a polished hot-spring ryokan in Tsukigase, Izu, designed for a quiet, upscale stay focused on private in-room bathing and refined surroundings. It suits couples and travelers seeking calm and comfort more than guests who want convenience, nightlife, or a child-friendly resort atmosphere.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Private onsen in every stayThe property is built around guest rooms with open-air hot spring baths, so you can soak in privacy without relying on a shared public bath schedule. That makes the experience feel more intimate and relaxed than many standard ryokans.
  • Peaceful riverside settingUfufu sits in Tsukigase in inland Izu, surrounded by greenery and river views rather than a busy tourist center. If you want a slow retreat with nature outside your room, the setting is a strong advantage.
  • Large, design-led roomsSeveral rooms are notably spacious and individually styled, with details that feel more boutique-luxury than traditional-basic. This gives the stay a more exclusive feel, especially for couples celebrating something special.
  • Refined adult atmosphereThe ryokan accepts guests from junior-high-school age and up, which helps keep the mood calm and quiet. Travelers looking for a serene, grown-up escape may appreciate that policy.
  • Good for a special-occasion splurgeBetween the private baths, upscale room design, and polished countryside ambience, the experience is well suited to anniversaries or a romantic getaway. It feels more like a destination stay than just a place to sleep.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Not ideal for families with young kidsBecause the property does not cater to younger children, it is a poor fit for travelers needing a family-friendly ryokan for all ages. That limitation matters if you are planning a multigenerational trip.
  • Rural location means less convenienceTsukigase is tranquil, but it is not the most walkable or action-packed base in Izu. Guests wanting easy access to major sightseeing areas, shops, or nightlife may find the location a bit inconvenient.
  • Luxury pricing raises expectationsUfufu is positioned as an upscale ryokan, so the nightly rate can feel steep if you mainly need a comfortable base for sightseeing. It makes better sense for travelers who will actually spend time enjoying the room and bath.
  • Traditional feel may be less pronouncedSome rooms lean toward a modern, curated luxury style rather than a purely classic ryokan atmosphere. If you want an old-world inn with strong historical character, this may feel more contemporary than expected.
  • Dining style may not suit everyoneThe stay experience is closely tied to ryokan meals and a slower in-house rhythm, which may feel restrictive for picky eaters or guests who prefer casual dining flexibility. It is better for travelers who enjoy the full ryokan format.
