LiVEMAX RESORT Izu-kogen  

Tucked into Ito on the Izu Peninsula, about 9 km from the city center in the Yawatano area. Close to the Nosaka Automata Museum, Izu Glass and Glasswork Museum, Ayashii and Angel museums, and a short drive to Izu Granpal Park, Izu Cactus Park, Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden and Inatori Onsen.

This intimate ryokan offers six air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators, 40‑inch LED TVs, iPod docking stations and in-room safes; bathrooms feature separate tubs and showers and spring water baths. Expect garden views, daily housekeeping and a simple, modern vibe that’s practical and slightly edgy.

Soak in on-site hot springs and a spa center, grill at the barbecue area, or relax in the garden; there’s also a vending machine, bar and café. Free wired and wireless internet, free self-parking, laundry, press services and a safe-deposit box are available — and the property is pet-friendly.

Complimentary high-speed wired internet, a computer station and free Wi‑Fi make it easy to stay connected.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and dinner with local flavors, a café offers snacks, and the bar/lounge is perfect for evening drinks.
