Kokorone's specialty: simmered sea bream

To the top of the food category among more than 40,000 restaurants nationwide

Rakuten Travel, which has been in operation since 2001, is one of Japan's largest travel reservation services, and is required to provide not only the taste and quality of food, but also overall satisfaction, including customer service and experience. Under such circumstances, "Kokorone" recorded a high score of 4.93 out of 5 points for "meal evaluation" during the one-year period from September 2024 to August 2025. It was the top-ranked ryokan in Japan again this year, ahead of other long-established ryokans and well-known resorts.

The "sea bream cuisine" that makes the most of Izu's bounty of the sea was highly rated throughout Japan.

The heart of Kokorone's cuisine is "braised sea bream," using only sea bream above a certain size landed at Shimoda Port on the Izu Peninsula. The secret sauce, which has been handed down since the establishment of the restaurant, brings out the refined flavor of the dish. The 11-course menu, including "kinmedai shabu shabu" (sea bream shabu shabu) in Japanese soup stock made from fresh kinmedai, sashimi from Ito Bay, and seasonal rice cooked in a pot, is sure to please the taste buds of many visitors to the restaurant.

Representative's comment: "I want to bring vitality to Ito from this inn.

The result of being ranked No. 1 for three consecutive years is not the goal for us. Ito is a town with many challenges, but it also has a lot of charm and potential. What we can do is to let people from all over Japan know the beauty of Ito through "delicious cuisine" and "heartfelt hospitality" from our small inn. We hope that the positive news from the inn will help to revitalize this town, if only a little."
