Best hotels in Izu Peninsula

This hotel welcomes guests with fifteen different settings, each with its own unique charm. Each guest room is uniquely designed, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while soaking in a natural hot spring bath.

Quite literally face to face with Mount Fuji, one of Japan’s most renowned icons, the Gora Kadan is a beautiful blend of Japanese tradition and glittering modernity. There’s plenty of sleek, gleaming surfaces and sharp lines, but also all the best bits of a traditional ryokan – think woven floors, paper sliding doors and of course, plenty of onsen (hot spring baths). At the centre of it all, however, is the mountain. Be it mist-covered or sparkling in the sunshine, the sharp edges are visible from just about every angle of the hotel, whether you’re relaxing on your private balcony, terrace or garden, enjoying a kaiseki experience in one of four restaurants, or soaking in the magical spring waters of the spa.

Japan's beautiful traditions, an homage to love for nature's every visage. On the wind crossing the water, hear the trees rustle and the birds sing. Open a window, and savour the richness of the moment.

Set in the forested hills of Shuzenji on the Izu Peninsula, its ancient Noh stage hosts seasonal performances by Living National Treasures, while every room comes with a private hot spring bath carved from fragrant koyamaki pine. Kaiseki dining is served in-room, the gardens are immaculate, and the whole place hums with a quiet, accumulated elegance that five centuries of hospitality tends to produce. Transformative, unhurried, and utterly Japanese.

Passing down the “warm and relaxing inn” cherished by the predecessor, Yagyu No Sho stives to be an inn that combines the beauty of Japanese architecture, cuisine, baths, scenery, and hospitality. In 2009, the 40th anniversary, gathered ancient craftsman skills for the main entrance, baths, and each room were renovated into authentic sukiya architecture. Prioritizing heartfelt hospitality, it strives for a beautiful Japanese inn in every aspect.

A quietly enchanting nine-room ryokan in Shuzenji Onsen, Izu, whose name says it all: akari (light) and kaori (fragrance). Original lamps cast a warm glow through interiors that double as an art gallery, while a drift of sandalwood keeps things grounded in old Japan. Traditional materials, modern sensibility, wildflowers in corners. Small, considered, and utterly transportive.
