伊豆高原の隠れ宿Syuhari守破離
9,3/10 Exceptional - Based on 31 reviews
Syuhari (守破離) is an eight-room boutique ryokan set in the wooded slopes of Izu-Kogen near Ito, offering a compact, reservation-focused stay that emphasizes privacy and seasonal cuisine. Each guestroom opens onto its own outdoor bathing area, so the property functions as a ryokan with private onsen in Izu-Kogen; rooms range from traditional eight-tatami layouts to a larger suite with separate sleeping and living areas. The setting is quietly residential, with sea views from parts of the property and mornings punctuated by bird and small-mammal activity rather than urban noise.
Accommodation details are specific: every room is equipped with an open-air bath crafted in materials that vary by room—from hinoki cypress tubs to Shigaraki ceramic—allowing guests to bathe at their convenience without using communal facilities. Meals follow a kaiseki-style approach, prepared from locally sourced Izu ingredients and served in-room for both dinner and breakfast; menus include seasonal seafood, vegetable preparations and a selection of supplementary à la carte items. Housekeeping and front-desk service are oriented to small-group hospitality, with clear guidance provided on check-in times and in-room dining arrangements.
Because only eight rooms are available, the inn is often chosen by couples and travellers seeking an intimate, low-traffic retreat in Shizuoka Prefecture; advance booking is recommended to secure specific room types and meal preferences. Practical amenities include on-site parking and a focus on slow-paced, nature-facing relaxation rather than large-scale facilities. For visitors searching specifically for a ryokan with onsen in Shizuoka, this property presents a concise option that pairs private bathing with regionally focused kaiseki dining.
