瑞光園-大川 Zuiko Retreat

瑞光園 offers accommodation and a restaurant; stepping into the lobby you’re surrounded by soft music and lush greenery, the interior décor is tasteful and relaxing, instantly washing away any worries. ✔️ Chinese service is very considerate: Taiwanese guests can contact the official LINE Chinese customer service, and there are on‑site staff who speak Chinese, making communication seamless. The front desk and all staff are friendly, making you feel at home. ✔️ A shuttle runs to and from Izu Okawa Station, making travel very convenient! I even had the staff take me to a local private hot spring recommended by residents—so heartwarming! ✔️ You can add breakfast and dinner; all meals are vegetarian, and the owner follows a plant‑based anti‑cancer philosophy. The dishes are rich and refined, some vegetables are organic and home‑grown, and the plates are specially selected from Kyoto—every detail shows care, and I recommend choosing a stay with two meals. ✔️ The outdoor bath offers a mountain view, with the gentle sound of flowing water, a beautiful and healing environment, fragrant lotion, and a massage chair for relaxation. ✔️ Natural symphony: 瑞光園 is rich in bird and butterfly species, the most abundant spot on my Izu trip! The flowers are beautiful, the terrace overlooks the sunrise, the birds sing beautifully, and I even recorded ASMR to bring back to Taiwan. Because it’s in nature, at night when lights are on, small moths or insects quietly stay, coexisting peacefully without affecting the overall perfect stay. In 瑞光園, it’s an unforgettable relaxing healing journey 🌿 Highly recommended 💕💕

The traditional Japanese lodging is still under renovation. The spider in the shared bathroom, which has non‑individual showers, is a problem. The terrace shown in the photos was not accessible.

“完美”

I stayed in the mountains near Daikawa, and the setting was incredibly quiet and beautiful. At night, the Milky Way was visible right outside the hotel. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. The outdoor hot spring offered a view of the mountains. The hotel also served its own plum juice and a variety of locally grown foods. It’s only one stop from Daishiro Mountain, and a 30‑minute train ride gets you to Shimoda or Atami.

“宿を決めるときはネットの評価を信じてはダメ”

The staff had a nice personality, but the food and drinks were a total let‑down, especially since I had chosen this place based on high online ratings. I regret not checking reviews beforehand. I also didn’t realize the religious background of the area, which was a surprise.

“Relaxing stay in nature with Onsen”

The mountain retreat was gorgeous and peaceful, just a five‑minute drive from the coast. We loved the forest and sea views from our room and the birdsong greeting us each morning. The room was spacious with comfy beds, and the shared onsen—both indoor and outdoor—was fantastic after a few days of city sightseeing. We had a private toilet, sink, and shower in the room, plus showers in the onsen area. The traditional kimonos for house use were a highlight. One morning we ordered breakfast and enjoyed a bento‑style meal served either on the terrace overlooking the mountain forest or in the indoor restaurant.
