“Fantastic ryokan with small, but beautiful Onsen!”

The breakfast was a fantastic ryokan set menu. Everything was very nicely prepared and presented and tasted marvellous. The small Onsen was delightful with a view over Itō. The staff where very friendly and helpful. It was an overall perfect stay.

“Amazing ryokan experience.”

Very pleasant stay. Kind staff that recommended me places to visit. I highly recommend getting the dinner and breakfast.

“Yokikan, Ito — A Stay Above the Ordinary I'm”

Staying at Yokikan was one of the true highlights of my travels. As a traditional Japanese onsen ryokan, it offers an authentic experience that feels both welcoming and quietly transportive. As a non-Japanese guest, I especially appreciated the clear, thoughtful explanations of how everything works—supported by helpful materials in the room—so I could relax into the rhythm rather than worry about getting it right. The onsen baths are the heart of the experience. The upper outdoor bath, in particular, is unforgettable—set above the town, open to the air, and deeply calming. It feels less like a simple soak and more like stepping into a different pace of life. I chose to have dinner one evening, served in the room, and it was exceptional. A kaiseki-style meal with a remarkable variety of dishes, each gorgeously presented and carefully prepared. The experience felt both intimate and quietly ceremonial, a highlight in its own right. Ito itself makes for a great home base to explore the area—coastal, relaxed, and easy to move through. I stayed for two nights, which felt just right: enough time to settle in, unwind, and fully appreciate what makes this place special. Yokikan doesn’t try to impress in obvious ways. Its appeal is more subtle—and more lasting.

“Don't miss this one of a kind ryokan.”

What a charming traditional ryokan. We loved everything about it and felt like we were in another world. The hospitality is next level. Thank you.

“Great onsen, impeccable place and very friendly staff”

The staff, the food, the onsen at the top of the hill, the old charm of the place.

“friendly tradional ryokan.”

lovely, kind staff , traditional onsen, everything great nothing to complain. Would recommend it.

The hosts are awesome. I was there with a toddler and I was worried if my non-stop toddler would be too noisy in a quiet ryokan. But it turned out the employees were being very nice and patient to our kid. The food is also amazing. You can feel how thoughtful when they prepared the food. With the reasonable price, you will not regret. I am looking forward to visiting it again.

“Nice facility and kaiseki, but service could be improved”

Beautiful hot springs location upstairs, extremely enjoyable, with a cute old funicular leading to it, in general, beautiful facility, good tasting and beautifully served kaiseki, foot massage machine.

“Book and come here, you’ll never regret of this choice.”

Absolutely gorgeous authentic and cozy place, perfect spot to slow down and recharge your resources.

“An extraordinary ryokan with a beautiful rooftop onsen bath”

We had a fabulous stay at Yokikan in Itō! This was our second time at this wonderful ryokan, and we were very happy to be back! Our apartment was spacious and offered plenty of room and a nice view. We slept very well on the comfortable tatami mats. The rooftop onsen is to die for - so beautiful and relaxing. The location was perfect for us; a calm area, but only a shorter walk to Itō station and shops. The hotel staff is exceptionally friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. They also gave us a lift to the station at the day for our departure, a great service. We highly recommend to order dinner at the hotel, where you dine in a private room and get an exquisite meal prepared just for you. Thank you so much for a memorable stay, we would love to come back in the future!

“What a delight of an experience. Exactly what I was looking for. Lovely and caring staff, delightful breakfast, excellen”

“Can recommend”

It was a first time experience for us with onsen but we really liked it. Dinner was incredible! Breakfast was good though my husband didn’t enjoy it as much. Sleep was comfortable but we woke up at 4am because room was bright (nothing blocked the sun)

As two westerners, we thought the dinner (kaiseki) would be an "interesting experience", but it was ACTUALLY DELICIOUS

“Its very wholesome”

The food was amazing. Kudos to the chef. The open air onsen experience was just what I needed.

“Excellent place to unwind, with great access to the rest of the Izu coastline. The outdoor onsen is”

“Great ryokan to stay. Definitely visit again.”

Great value for money. Very nice personnel and owner. Great bathes, outdoor and indoor. Train-elevator adds some charm. Food is great, enjoyed both dinner and breakfast.

“It was still an enjoyable stay.”

Very clean & spacious . Great service and yummy kaiseki + breakfast

The Owner is a great man! fluently English speaking. cozy please cozy room, big, clean and so beautiful f rooms,

There are various onsen to try.

“Old but gold”

Great experience! Very cozy and authentic. Very large room - more than enough space for a family of three. Impeccable staff and facilities! Traditional kaiseki dinner is a must and is delicious. Dinner and breakfast are served in the room. Slept great on the futon! Outdoor onsen with a view of the city is beautiful. Funicular - functional, fun and cute attraction. Transfer to the station upon check-out. Thank you very much for everything! We will definitely come back in old age :) We will age gracefully like this ryokan! The ryokan does not need advertising for Russian-speaking travelers :)
