Izuajiro-onsen Shoufuen
--- The property is not yet rated
Izuajiro-onsen Shoufuen positions itself as a traditional waterside ryokan with a long-established hot spring source in Atami’s Ajiro area of Shizuoka. The property advertises a self-sourced, continuously flowing onsen and a mix of bathing options that include covered public baths and an open-air bath, allowing guests to time their soaks with the garden and seasonal light. As a ryokan with onsen in Shizuoka, the facility combines classical tatami-room accommodation with practical amenities such as on-site parking and property-wide Wi‑Fi.
Guest rooms follow a Japanese-style layout with tatami flooring and yukata provided for in-house use; many descriptions highlight simple, garden-facing layouts designed for quiet stays. Meals are presented in the ryokan tradition, with multi-course kaiseki-style dinners drawing on local seafood and a morning Asian-style breakfast option. The grounds include an extensive Japanese garden reported at roughly 4,000 tsubo and a seasonal outdoor pool, while public facilities extend to communal bathing areas maintained from the ryokan’s own source spring.
The experience is aimed at visitors seeking a measured, culturally rooted stay rather than an urban hotel environment: daytime strolls through the garden, meals served in dining rooms, and repeated visits to the thermal baths are the practical attractions. The onsen is described by the property as suitable for bathing and promoted for its restorative qualities, and the location provides straightforward access to coastal beaches and regional sightseeing around Atami and nearby Izu and Hakone destinations. Practical notes on policies and exact arrival information are handled directly by the property. The ryokan with onsen presents a clear option for travelers prioritizing traditional Japanese bathing and garden settings.

Yukata size and placement problem
