the town of ito on the izu peninsula of japan
05:30
In
the town of Ito, I stayed at K's House which is a traditional wooden
Ryokan which is over 100 years old. They have dorm rooms, but this isn't
your traditional hostel. I stayed in a private room with a bathroom
that had a balcony over looking the river that runs along the back of
the accommodation. This was one of my best experiences to feel for how
traditionally the Japanese live with tatami mats and sleeping on the
floor. The bedding was very comfortable, which I was super surprised
about. It is well worth experiencing staying at a Ryokan with any trip to Japan.

This is a private room at K's House - Ryokan Accommodation
You can get to Ito by train from Tokyo or Kyoto through Atami. I caught the train from further south on the Izu Peninsula from the town of Shimoda. If you stay at K's House Ryokan is is either a short 10 minute walk from the station or a 800YEN taxi if you have luggage.
There is free miso soup afterwards!
