Shizuoka Prefecture | Popular hotels and Ryokan (Japanese inn) based on customer reviews!

Senkyoro is about 25 minutes by car from Gotemba Outlet Park. It is a long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) that was founded in 1870, but the building is new and the rooms are clean. The inn has an indoor bath and a rustic open-air bath overlooking the Hakone mountains, where you can enjoy hot springs 100% natural hot spring. There are also private baths, so you can enjoy a private bath. If your budget allows, you can stay in a room with an open-air bath. After the bath, you can receive facial and body treatments at the beauty salon. Dinner is an authentic kaiseki meal using seasonal ingredients, and the dishes and presentation are carefully selected, so it is a feast for the eyes as well as the tongue. You can experience an authentic pottery class at this inn, so if you are interested, please come.

Although it is not in Kawazu, it is located in Atagawa Onsen in Higashiizu, and I think it is about 20 minutes by car from the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival venue. It is about 30 minutes by foot or express train, so it was quite convenient. All rooms have an ocean view and are located in a position where you can see the sunrise perfectly. The bath is a hot spring, and there is an open-air bath and a private bath, so you can relax. There is free parking, so it is no problem to go by car.

We recommend the Hotel Route Inn Gotemba. It is close to Gotemba Interchange and is also recommended as a base for your trip to the outlet mall. It has a large public bath where you can stretch your legs and relax in the bath. It also offers free meal service, making it a cost-effective business hotel.

We recommend Hotel Izukyu, where you can enjoy the largest open-air bath in the Izu region, "Ryujin no Yu." This hotel has two different spring qualities, and the "Rendaiji no Yu" that can be enjoyed in the large public bath has a different comfort to the weak alkaline sulfate spring. The view from the rooms is clear and comfortable, making this a recommended hotel for relaxing after a day of bathing.

It's in Atami, and the private baths have a mysterious "Tengu bath," which is also interesting. The large bath is right in front of the seaman. It's not an open-air bath, but you can enjoy the hot springs while looking at the sea. Meals are seafood boat platters and a half Buffet. Even if your friend says they want to eat a boat platter, there are probably some foods they don't like, so with Buffet corner, you won't have any trouble finding a meal. Please note that you will have to put the futon on and take it down yourself in the Japanese-style room.

Yokikan is a 12-minute walk from Ito Station, located on a hilltop overlooking Ito city. A shuttle service is also available. The inn has an indoor bath and an open-air bath, 100% natural hot spring. From the open-air bath, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the sea and town of Ito. If you make a reservation, you can also receive an aroma and beauty treatment after the bath. Dinner is kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）centered around local seafood, and you can enjoy fresh local fish, spiny lobster, abalone, and golden-eyed snapper. Breakfast is a Japanese set meal, and the freshly grilled dried local horse mackerel is delicious.

It's not in Kawazu, but I stayed here previously with my family of four and my aunt-in-law when we went to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms. I think it was about 30 minutes by train to Kawazu. The inn is spread across a large area, with reception desk and dining area, accommodation buildings, and private hot springs. All the hot springs are private, and you can use them as many times as you like when they are available.

This hotel is located on Shirahama Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Izu. There is a pool and hot springs, and the Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom in February, so you can get a head start on spring. The rooms are spacious and have a great ocean view. The location is also great for swimming, so I recommend it. The food is Japanese and Western, and the simmered golden-eyed snapper was delicious. There was also spiny lobster, so you could enjoy the seafood of Izu. There is an underwater aquarium near the hotel where you can interact with dolphins.
