Three Shinkansen stops and an airport of its own, with Atami just 37 minutes from Tokyo. Izu sells as a short onsen break, and the constraint is not distance but the last mile: the coastal road to the ryokan is narrow and jams in season.

An unexpected leader in the density of recognised properties: seven MICHELIN Keys on modest overall volume. The reason is access from Tokyo, sea and mountains within a day, and onsen density. The top end sells here as a short retreat, not a long journey.
