We had high hopes for this ryokan, and while the stay was overall great, there were a few downsides. The property itself is gorgeous, and the staff was kind and attentive, but the place definitely had a noticeable mildew smell, which took away from the experience a bit. Unfortunately, we missed out on both breakfast and dinner because we didn’t book those in advance (lesson learned). I tried reaching out 24 hours before check-in but never got a response, so just a heads-up to plan meals ahead of time. There’s also not much nearby that’s open for breakfast or dinner, which left us scrambling a bit. That said, it’s still a lovely place to stay if you’re prepared, and the traditional vibe of the ryokan is worth experiencing.

Excellent dinner with very experienced and knowledgeable staff. Room was beautiful.

What an amazing ryokan with such supportive staff and amazing chef! Their gardens are magical and their rooms are super modern, clean and authentic to traditional ryokans. Loved our stay and loved the proximity to Shuzenji’s main village. A hidden gem in the Izu prefecture. Highly recommended!

The staff are so nice and helpful. There is private onsen in room and restaurant just at the corner. In room drinks for free and spacious, perfect location for recharge and away from city. The Shizenji and bamboo forest path are just 10 mins walk as well. Highly recommended and will come back again definitely!

Wunderschönes Hotel mit einer hervorragenden Küche und einer sehr aufmerksamen und herzlichen Hotel Crew. Die Hotelzimmer sind wie kleine Wohnungen mit einem eigenen Onsen-Bad, eingebettet in einem wunderschönen traditionellen Garten. Alles ist sehr neu und trotzdem fehlt der japanische Charme nicht.
