Overview

Kamenoi Hotel Yaizu brings you to a hilltop setting above Suruga Bay, with wide sea views, a natural hot spring bath on the top floor, and the seafood culture of Yaizu close at hand. The hotel reopened after renovation on July 1, 2025, with added rooms, refreshed rooms and public spaces, a renewed restaurant, and a new indoor kids’ park.

This stay works especially well when you want hot springs and local food without a formal ryokan atmosphere. You can look out over the bay from ocean-view rooms, enjoy kaiseki built around Yaizu Southern Bluefin Tuna, take children to the indoor play area, and finish the day in the top-floor observation bath. The setting feels easy, comfortable, and well suited to couples, families, and small groups.

Accommodation

Kamenoi Hotel Yaizu gives you many room choices, from Japanese-style rooms with tatami to Western-style twins, triples, quadruple rooms, family rooms, and Japanese-Western rooms. Ocean-view rooms look toward Suruga Bay, while forest-view rooms face the mountain side. All rooms are non-smoking, and Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

The ocean-view Special Japanese-Western-Style Room with Open-Air Bath gives you a larger stay with twin beds, a 6-tatami Japanese room, and a private open-air bath facing Suruga Bay. The open-air bath in this room is not a hot spring, but it gives you a private bathing space with a sea view. The ocean-view Japanese-Western room also combines twin beds with a Japanese-style room, making it a comfortable option when you want both bed sleeping and tatami space.

The Deluxe Family Room has an ocean view and a blue-and-green design that suits family or group travel. The Deluxe Quadruple Rooms come in ocean-view and forest-view types, with separate bath and toilet areas in selected rooms. Some quadruple and family rooms use daybeds or stacking beds depending on the number of people staying, so the space can adapt to your group.

You can also choose an ocean-view Standard Family Room with four beds, a forest-view Superior Triple Room, an ocean-view Standard Triple Room, an ocean-view Japanese-style Twin Room with Ryukyu tatami and a shower booth, a forest-view Superior Twin Room, or an ocean-view Standard Twin with bath. For a more classic Japanese stay, the ocean-view 10-tatami and 8-tatami Japanese-style rooms give you tatami flooring, low-table seating, and sea views from the window.

Rooms include practical comforts such as a hair dryer, smart TV, refrigerator, in-room safe, washlet toilet, haori coat, cold water pot, towels, bath towels, toothbrushes, obi belts, and drawstring bags. Yukata, razors, hairbrushes, hairbands, shower caps, cotton, and cotton swabs are available near the front desk. Rooms with baths include shampoo, conditioner, and body soap.

Dining

Dining at Kamenoi Hotel Yaizu focuses on Shizuoka’s seafood and mountain ingredients, with Yaizu Southern Bluefin Tuna at the center of many dinner courses. The renovated restaurant takes inspiration from bright sunlight and moonlight, giving your meal a fresh setting after a day by the sea or in the hot spring.

Dinner is served as kaiseki, with seasonal plans that may include Yaizu Southern Bluefin Tuna sashimi, Shizuoka Sodachi Wagyu, grilled abalone, steamed eel rice, red bream clay pot rice, grilled sea bass, chilled simmered dishes, Yaizu bonito rare cutlet, Fujinokuni pork, Fugaku white chicken, Shizuoka Koshihikari rice, pickles, soup, and seasonal dessert. The menu changes with the season and ingredient availability, so each course reflects what is best at the time of your stay.

Children’s meals are also available, including a children’s kaiseki course and a lighter children’s meal. Depending on the meal type, children may enjoy dishes such as sashimi, steamed egg custard, hamburger steak with Wagyu beef, fried chicken, fried shrimp, warm udon, rice, miso soup, fruit, pudding, and juice.

Breakfast is served in the restaurant and brings local flavor into the morning. The dining room also serves dinner, with meals prepared in the restaurant rather than in your room.

Late-night Dandanmen adds a fun Kamenoi touch after dinner. From 21:00 to 22:30, you can enjoy one complimentary small bowl per person, with three rotating styles: Sichuan red with chili oil and spices, black sesame with roasted sesame and chili bean paste, and white sesame with a creamy sesame base.

Onsen and Wellness

The top-floor public bath is one of the main reasons to stay at Kamenoi Hotel Yaizu. From the large observation bath, you can look out over Suruga Bay and the Yaizu cityscape while soaking in natural hot spring water. The view gives the bath a strong sense of place, especially when the sea and sky are clear.

The spring quality is calcium-sodium chloride spring water. It contains about half the salt content of seawater and has a mildly alkaline feel. The mineral content helps your skin feel moisturized, while the salt character helps your body stay warm after bathing.

The large public bath is open from early morning until late morning, then again from late morning until midnight. On Wednesdays, the afternoon opening time is later because of maintenance.

Guests with Tattoos

Kamenoi Hotel Yaizu has shared public hot spring baths. Tattoos must be fully covered before entering the shared bathing area. If your tattoo cannot be fully covered, you cannot use the shared public baths.

Kamenoi Hotel Yaizu has a renewed lobby, renovated restaurant, indoor kids’ park, shop, top-floor public hot spring bath, coin laundry, free Wi-Fi, parking, and a smoking booth inside the building. The whole building is non-smoking apart from the designated smoking area.

The indoor kids’ park is available only for overnight stays and gives younger children a safe place to play regardless of the weather. It includes soft, safety-conscious play equipment and is designed for children up to elementary school age with an accompanying guardian.

The renewed shop carries Shizuoka and Yaizu souvenirs, with a focus on local seafood products and regional sweets. You may find items such as sakura shrimp crackers, stewed tuna, and bonito-shaped sweets. The coin laundry is useful for longer stays, beach days, or family travel.

For craft and food culture, Sunpu Takumishuku offers hands-on experiences such as Suruga bamboo craft, dyeing, woodwork, lacquerware, pottery, and model-making.
