Around Shuzenji Rainbow Village × Hot spring × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I have stayed in Shuzenji at Yagyu-no-Sho and at Sora next door, but this was my first stay at Asaba. 　The moment I arrived and stepped into the entrance, a pond and a Noh stage opened up before me—an overwhelming view. I also noticed the pleasant scent of wood and the crisp, refined air. I assume everything is kept impeccably clean. Our Room was in the second-lowest price range, but it still had a view of the Noh stage, and with two adjoining rooms it felt very comfortable. 　Both the staff member who guided us to our Room and handled check-in, and the attendant who served dinner and breakfast, were courteous yet pleasantly friendly, which helped me relax. Some luxury top-tier Accommodations have staff who make guests feel tense, but that was not the case here. 　Dinner made it clear that each dish was prepared with great care. The soft-shelled turtle winter melon soup and the horse mackerel sashimi were outstanding. However, as others have mentioned, since the grilled dish was sweetfish and the rice was also sweetfish rice, I would have preferred a sea fish for the grilled course. 　I used the large public bath about twice without running into anyone, so I could unwind in peace. The in-room bath was also very comfortable. I spent time in the salon before dinner on day one and after breakfast on day two; it was wonderfully quiet there, so I could relax while looking out over the pond and Noh stage. 　I would like to stay again in a different season.

This was our second stay, and it was a wonderful Room where we could enjoy an open-air rock bath while looking out at the beautiful garden (with an indoor bath as well). Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and my elderly mother was very satisfied. The service was excellent, and we truly appreciate all your help.

Both dinner and breakfast (we chose the Japanese set) were perfectly seasoned and truly delicious. The conger eel fritters were especially outstanding. The after-bath ice cream, morning milk, and complimentary drinks were also plentiful, so we could enjoy them throughout the day. The amenities were well stocked as well—Sekkisei toner, emulsion, face wash, and cleansing products were provided, so there was no need to bring our own.

While looking for a place to stay in the Izu area, we happened to learn that this property is used as a filming location for a drama my husband loves, so we booked it. It was our first time visiting Shuzenji Onsen. Because the hotel strongly highlights its connection to the drama, I initially wondered if it might be a bit of a “fan-oriented” place. In reality, once we arrived, we found thoughtful hospitality throughout—not only in the facilities and atmosphere, but also in the service—so we could truly relax with peace of mind. What impressed me most were the small touches everywhere on the property. Not only were little inconveniences—things you often wish other inns or hotels would improve—quietly resolved, but there were also many ideas that made me think, “So this is how it could be even more comfortable,” even for things I hadn’t considered inconvenient before. Nothing felt over-the-top, yet every detail seemed to come from carefully considering guests’ movements and feelings. I believe that accumulation of thoughtful touches is what makes the entire stay so comfortable. Even the amenities and in-room items felt carefully selected one by one; it was clear they had thoroughly thought through how guests can spend their time pleasantly. The service also left a strong impression. The staff member who looked after us was relatively young—polite yet pleasantly friendly and approachable—and our conversations were enjoyable, which naturally helped us unwind. We also felt genuine warmth from all staff members and their desire for guests to have a wonderful stay. The heartfelt hospitality—attentive without being overly formal—was exactly what suited us. The food was excellent as well. The presentation and tableware had a playful touch, and there were pleasant surprises in both ingredient pairings and how dishes were served; we enjoyed each course with fresh anticipation right through to the end. It was clear that no corners were cut even at breakfast, making for an extremely satisfying stay. Perhaps because it was just before a holiday weekend, we had the large public bath almost entirely to ourselves and could enjoy the hot springs at leisure. The garden was beautiful too—I can easily imagine reservations becoming highly competitive during autumn foliage season. We usually visit Hakone more often, but extending our trip by about another hour brought us here—and compared with Hakone’s prices, we were amazed that such an indulgent experience could be enjoyed at far more accessible rates. It was a wonderful property that made us want to return in another season.

Both the building and the garden are beautifully maintained—truly an Accommodation worthy of its status as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property. At Tenpyo-no-Yu, we were able to relax and enjoy the Onsen while watching the carp. The cuisine may be creative, but in a way it felt fairly ordinary; despite the excellent wasabi served alongside, I didn’t feel the menu was designed to pair well with it. Perhaps because it had to be carried a long distance, some hot dishes arrived cooled, and there were so many items that we ended up leaving some, which was a bit disappointing. I thought it might be nice to have an upgraded course with smaller portions. There are many stairs, so it may be challenging for guests with limited mobility.

The facilities and rooms were clean and spacious, and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy seven private baths free of charge. The buffet meals were also delicious. The staff were polite and kind as well.\nI believe this is common across Kyoritsu Resort properties, but the hospitality was exceptional—from welcome drinks to complimentary ice cream after bathing, free probiotic drinks in the morning, and even late-night soba.\nHowever, it rained that day, and since the parking lot was a bit far away, it was slightly inconvenient.

The front desk staff were very pleasant, and their explanation of the Room was clear and helpful. The Room and the open-air bath had a wonderful atmosphere, making it a relaxing and calming day. This has become my favorite Accommodation, and I’d love to come back for another leisurely stay!

A wonderful sense of charm and atmosphere, hot springs worthy of a renowned spa, delicious cuisine crafted with meticulous skill in both quality and quantity, and comfortable accommodations! It was a trip I’d love to take again!

This was our first stay. Three of us—female high school classmates—traveled together, and we were able to spend a very comfortable time here. The inn had a calm atmosphere, everything was impeccably clean, and many of the staff had a soothing, welcoming manner. The meals were delicious, with many dishes that felt nourishing and made us happy. For us in our 60s the portions were a little generous, but we were very satisfied. We would love to visit again with our families as well. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

We stayed here for my mother’s birthday. I had arranged a fruit platter as an optional gift in advance, and there was also a thoughtful photo frame and message card in our Room, which made my mother very happy. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable birthday. Thanks to the proprietress’s many considerate touches, we had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. It was a truly wonderful Accommodation in every detail. The food and baths were excellent, and we were able to fully enjoy Shuzenji.

It was very clean and well maintained, making for a comfortable stay. The services exclusive to the Premier Room were highly satisfying, and the staff provided exceptionally pleasant service. When I visit Izu Kogen again, I would love to stay here again!

We enjoyed the Reservation-only open-air bath, the cave bath, and having them privately. We expected it to be crowded during Obon, but we were lucky to enter the cave bath smoothly. In the morning, the large public bath also felt like we had it all to ourselves—another lucky moment. The meals were enjoyable both dinner and breakfast, with a wide variety of dishes. The eel was delicious. The Room was spacious and comfortable. One thing: both beds squeaked a lot, which surprised us. The mattress and bedding were comfortable, so that was disappointing.

We traveled as a family with our dog, and the meals were delicious. The open-air bath in the Room was also very relaxing, making it a wonderful trip.

We were very satisfied with both the meals and the Onsen. We would stay again if we have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

The spacious grounds are surrounded by greenery, with numerous facilities that exceeded my expectations in size. The service was attentive, the food was delicious, and I felt the cost performance was excellent. This time I stayed alone, but next time I would like to visit with my family.

Located in the heart of Shuzenji, it offers easy access to local sightseeing spots. The hot spring bath is a little on the hot side with free-flowing natural source water. Breakfast and dinner are served in generous portions. It is an Accommodation that feels like coming home to your family house.

This Accommodation offers self-catering and a great value stay with an Onsen. Last time we had bunk beds, but this time there was also a Room with two standard single beds. Since it was a cold season, the draft from the window felt very cold. Other than that, I think it’s an excellent value Accommodation.
