Izu city in Shizuoka Prefecture is home to some of Japan’s best ryokan onsen, stunning nature scenes and views of Mount Fuji.
A goldmine of beaches and hot springs with an enticing history to go along with it.
At the heart of Izu Peninsula, Shuzenji Onsen is about a 90-minute train journey from Tokyo. Despite being easy to access, the hot spring hub is an often-overlooked destination. Yet, the quiet town offers a welcome retreat year-round. We especially recommend it for those who want to get away from the crowds and get closer to nature.
The Shizuoka Prefecture city of Izu offers up soul-soothing hot springs, mountain hikes, majestic falls – and plenty of wasabi.
A stunning onsen town a bamboo forest and wasabi ice cream but a tragic history.
