Kappo Ryokan Izumiso

Izumiso, a traditional Japanese inn next to Lake Kasumigaura, prides itself on its freshwater fish cuisine. Their simmered carp cooked with a secret sauce and unagi kabayaki (eel fillet skewers grilled in a rich sauce) are especially popular dishes. Guests can enjoy an extensive view of Lake Kasumigaura from their rooms or visit the Jomon Gallery on the premises where works from artists in the local and neighboring areas are exhibited. Izumiso is located near Ring Ring Road, the national cycle route, and is recognized as a cyclist-friendly inn. Not only can you rent and return your bicycle here (reservations required), but the inn also provides washers and dryers. Plus, there are some rooms where bicycles are allowed to be brought inside!
