Overview

Syuhari is a small ryokan in Izu Kogen, Shizuoka, limited to eight rooms. You stay in a quiet setting surrounded by trees, fresh air, and views toward the sea. The ryokan keeps the atmosphere intimate, so your time feels private, slow, and personal from the moment you arrive.

The name Syuhari comes from the idea of learning, refining, and then finding freedom. You feel that spirit in the simple service, the calm rooms, the in-room meals, and the private hot spring bathing. Nothing feels overdone. Each part of the stay helps you rest, breathe, and enjoy the natural setting of Izu Kogen.

This ryokan suits you when you want a quiet retreat with only a few rooms, private open-air baths, meals served in your room, and a reservable open-air bath with a wide view of Sagami Bay.

Accommodation

You stay in one of eight rooms, and every room has its own open-air bath. The rooms keep a traditional Japanese feel, with tatami, low seating, quiet colors, and a simple layout that lets you focus on rest.

Most rooms are 8-tatami Japanese rooms, sized comfortably for two adults. These include Kano 203, Komuro 205, Togasa 201, Amagi 202, Shirata 204, and Banzaburo 206. Some are smoking rooms, while others are non-smoking, so choose carefully when booking. The baths differ by room, with some using hinoki cypress and others using Shigaraki ceramic tubs.

Omuro 207 is a larger 12-tatami corner room that can accommodate up to four adults. It gives you more space while keeping the same relaxed room-dining and private open-air bath experience.

Jogasaki 001 is the special room. It has a 10-tatami Japanese room, a bedroom with one queen-size bed, and a powder-room terrace area, giving you about 65㎡ of space. You can use futon bedding in the tatami room as well, so this room works well when you want more space and a more private retreat. The room looks out toward nature, and you may wake to birds or squirrels nearby.

Each room includes a bath, toilet with washing function, shower, air-conditioning and heating, TV, refrigerator, and free wired internet. Room amenities include towels, bath towels, toothbrush set, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, yukata, hair dryer, cotton swabs, brush, and other basic items.

Dining

Dining at Syuhari is served in your room for both dinner and breakfast. This gives the meal a quiet, private feeling and lets you enjoy each dish without moving to a shared dining room.

Dinner focuses on creative kaiseki using fresh ingredients from Izu. The meal changes with the season, but it may include small appetizers, sashimi, warm dishes, grilled fish, simmered dishes, rice, pickles, and dessert.

Seasonal dishes may include items such as salt-boiled broad beans, sesame tofu, simmered baby abalone with sansho, sashimi of the day, kinmedai with spring vegetables in a small hot pot, grilled Spanish mackerel with kinome, simmered beef tongue, sakura shrimp rice, brown sugar pudding, and seasonal Japanese sweets.

A simpler yet generous shokado-style course may also be available, with fresh sashimi, warm dishes, grilled fish, rice, and dessert arranged in a more compact style.

Breakfast is also served in your room. You can start the day slowly with a Japanese breakfast made with fresh Izu ingredients, without leaving your room or rushing into the morning.

You can also order additional dishes, such as sashimi, turban shell sashimi, steak, Ise lobster, or kinmedai shabu-shabu, depending on availability.

Onsen and Wellness

Hot spring bathing shapes the stay at Syuhari. Every room has its own open-air bath, so you can soak whenever you want in complete privacy. You can bathe in the morning light, after dinner, or late at night while listening to the trees and quiet sounds around you.

The room baths use Izu Kogen Onsen water. Depending on your room, you may bathe in a hinoki cypress tub or a Shigaraki ceramic tub. The experience feels personal and unhurried because you do not need to share the bath with anyone outside your group.

Syuhari also has a reservable open-air bath with a wide view of Sagami Bay. From the bath, the sea opens in front of you with no buildings blocking the view. This bath gives you a different feeling from your room bath, especially when you want a more expansive view.

Spa treatments are also available. The treatments use Japanese camellia oil made from yabu-tsubaki camellia seeds and blended with natural essential oils. You can choose full-body care, facial and décolletage care, or a shorter course. Treatments are available for both men and women, with same-day reception until the evening.

Guests with tattoos

If you have tattoos, your in-room open-air bath gives you a private way to enjoy the hot spring.

For the reservable open-air bath, contact the ryokan before your stay and confirm the current bathing rules.

Facilities

Syuhari keeps its facilities simple and focused on privacy. You spend most of your time in your room, where you have your own open-air bath, meals served privately, and the quiet atmosphere of Izu Kogen around you. This makes the ryokan feel calm and personal rather than busy.

The reservable open-air bath gives you another place to enjoy the hot spring while looking toward Sagami Bay. It adds a more open, scenic bathing experience to the private bath already available in your room.

The ryokan also offers spa treatments using Japanese camellia oil and natural essential oils. These treatments give you a deeper way to relax after bathing, especially when you want to ease tension from travel or spend more time focused on rest.

Parking is free, and shuttle service is available from Izu Kogen Station with advance reservation. Pick-up times are 15:00, 16:00, and 17:00, while return shuttle times are 10:00 and 11:00.

Activities

Your stay at Syuhari naturally invites you to slow down. You can spend your time soaking in your private bath, enjoying meals in your room, resting on tatami, listening to birds, and watching the light shift over Izu Kogen.

When you want to explore, the Izu Kogen area gives you access to coastal views, scenic drives, galleries, cafés, and nature walks. The ryokan works well as a quiet base for visiting the Jogasaki Coast, Mount Omuro, Izu Shaboten Zoo, and nearby sightseeing spots.

A simple day here might begin with a private morning bath, continue with breakfast in your room, then move into a slow drive or walk around Izu Kogen. In the evening, you return for another bath, creative kaiseki, and quiet time without needing to follow a busy schedule.

Additional features

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and check-out extends until 11:00 AM, giving you generous time to settle in and ease out of your stay. Credit cards are accepted, and the ryokan provides detailed access guidance whether you arrive by car or train.

Syuhari welcomes a limited number of stays each day to preserve its atmosphere. That choice defines the experience. You do not rush. You do not compete for space. You simply exist within nature, warmth, and quiet.

At Syuhari, you rediscover the pleasure of simplicity. Forest air, ocean views, hot spring water, and carefully prepared food come together in a way that feels honest and deeply calming. You leave refreshed, not because something extra happened, but because nothing unnecessary did.
