“A lovely onsen experience in the heart of Izu”
I stayed at Shuzenji Onsen Katsuragawa for one night during my motorcycle tour of Japan, and it was a lovely opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese onsen hotel. The location is very convenient for exploring the beautiful Izu Peninsula, and Shuzenji itself is a charming town with a peaceful atmosphere, traditional streets and lovely places to walk around. One of the highlights of the hotel is its selection of private onsen baths, which are a great way to relax after a long day of riding. Being able to enjoy an onsen in privacy, at my own pace, was a real plus. I chose the half-board package, with both dinner and breakfast served buffet-style. It's a convenient option, especially after a long day on the road, as you can enjoy your meals at the hotel without having to go out again. The buffet arrangement also gives you the opportunity to try a variety of Japanese dishes. The hotel has a traditional Japanese feel, although it is quite a large property rather than an intimate ryokan. It offers a nice balance between Japanese hospitality and the convenience of a modern hotel
