Shuzenji Onsen, located in the heart of the Izu Peninsula, is one of the oldest and most revered hot spring towns in Japan. This quaint onsen village is named after the historic Shuzenji Temple, founded by the famous monk Kobo Daishi, which adds a deep cultural resonance to the area.
The onsen town is characterized by its cobbled streets lined with traditional ryokans and public bathhouses, set in a natural setting with bamboo forests and the Katsura River running through it.
