湯ヶ島たつた
A riverside ryokan in Yugashima, Izu, with kawadoko dining: meals served on a platform beside the river. The hotel's FAQ explains how meal plans, age restrictions and arrival times affect this experience. Choose a plan that actually includes the dining experience you want.
The official FAQ says kawadoko seats are available for elementary-school-age children and older; children aged six and under cannot use them. Stays with young children are offered without meals. Book a meal-inclusive plan in advance if you want kawadoko dining.
The FAQ gives a five-minute walk from Yugashima Onsen-guchi bus stop. Pickup from Yugashima bus stop can be discussed with the property; contact the hotel rather than assuming a scheduled shuttle is included.
