“First class experience of ryokan with beautiful private onsens and wonderful staff”

A beautiful experience from beginning to end. Staff and facilities are absolutely first class. We stayed in room 5 and thoroughly enjoyed the foot bath as well as the separate private onsens. The sounds of the waterfalls and river next to our verandas was relaxing. Rooms are spacious and In room facilities are exceptional with a special mention for the Refa hairdryer. The proximity to Kawazu seven waterfalls was amazing only a short walk or drive to the start of the trail. We highly recommend splurging on this experience.

The location was beautiful, the staff were pleasent and incredibly helpful, and the food was amazing

Our stay at Muzumari was the highlight of our trip to Japan The rooms were amazing together with the private onsen. The staff were very friendly and wonderful, explaining all the different Japanese dishes prepared for us. The food was exceptional. Our stay here was very special for our first visit to Japan Sharon and Silvio Australia

“Highly recommended place!!!”

Everything. We have had an amazing time. Thank you so much Taiyo for your wonderful hospitality. We will come back.

Generous selection of snacks and ice cream on the house. <Highly recommended to anyone looking for a quiet getaway :) >

Absolutely the best place ever. And I have been to hundreds of great hotels. Make sure you do the wasabi trip to the local farmer which Tayo organizes.

“Excellent place for therapeutic holiday”

Close to waterfalls, nice onsen, big rooms, free flow of drinks and snacks, excellent service, dine in the rooms

“Great service, fantastic food & drinks, Onsen is quite an experience.”

The service is impeccable, Taiyo-san is thoughtful & provides great service. The dinner & breakfast is outstanding. All drinks are free! The Onsen in the room is great. Love it. Highly recommend.

“An incredible luxury experience all around.”

What an experience! We stayed at Mizumari during our honeymooon and I can honestly say we have never felt more welcomed, relaxed, and cared for than we did at Mizumari. Taiyo and his staff are truly incredible and work to meet your every need. For example, when we arrived, we mentioned a specific drink that we had enjoyed on our trip. The next day, Taiyo had sent someone to find the item and served it to us in several different forms. Everyone was so attentive and kind, and we were incredibly sad to leave! The food is incredible and plentiful- the best we had in Japan. We really loved the fresh and creative nature of the food, with a nice mix of seafood and meat dishes including locally sourced foods. The courses keep on coming so be sure to save space! We also appreciated that the staff was very helpful in recommending drinks pairings that go with the meal (and which are included in the booking price). The space was recently rennovated and has a very clean and modern look. We stayed in room 1, which has a large living room, separate bedroom and a patio overlooking the creek with a gorgeous and large onsen tub fed by the hotsprings. The entire space feels very private and quiet. The location is also great, a few steps away from the start of the seven waterfalls hike (which we loved- we had it all to ourselves when we went around 10am), and only a 20minute drive from the coast, where there is limitless hiking and exploring.

“Perfect secluded Ryokan with private onsen”

This is the perfect Ryokan experience! The secluded location (the drive is so worth your while!!!) makes for the perfect tranquil getaway, the private outdoor onsen overlooking a babbling brook and a forest where deer and squirrels come to visit, is just the best thing to enjoy after a busy day exploring the beautiful Izu peninsula. The room/suite was bigger than we’ve ever had in Japan. The staff are just so lovely and accommodating- special credit to Taiyo whose Emglish is excellent! The food was out of this world, with locally sourced (even the rice!) ingredients… we could not have had a better experience!

“Mizumari is a beautiful place to stay with delicious food and an incredibly friendly staff!”

Where to begin? There was so much to love about Mizumari. The location right near the seven Kawazu falls is beautiful. A short hike brings you past each waterfall. The food is extravagant- dinner was seven courses I believe and breakfast was four or five courses- possibly more but we were full and happy. The rooms have private onsens overlooking a picturesque creek. All of this should give any traveler enough reasons to stay there but what delighted us most was the incredible service. They took such excellent care of us and were so friendly. I enjoyed speaking with the staff as they patiently explained every feature of the hotel and every delicious dish they served. Everything is included with your stay- want a beer? go for it. Want more to eat? It's on the way. I can't say enough nice things about this place.
