Nonohanatei komurasaki
9,6/10 Exceptional - Based on 30 reviews
Nonohanatei Komurasaki is a compact, traditionally styled ryokan in Shimoda on the Izu Peninsula, operating as an intimate five-room inn that emphasizes seasonal detail and quiet hospitality. Every guest room opens to a private bathing area: an outdoor hot-spring bath with garden views plus an inner hinoki wood tub, supplied with 100% natural alkaline spring water that the property describes as gentle on the skin. The layout and landscaping frame the garden through the year, making the bathing experience both private and immediately connected to the ryokan’s small, curated grounds—a clear example of a ryokan with private onsen Shizuoka.
Meals are a focal point here, delivered to the room as multi-course kaiseki that highlights Shimoda seafood and locally sourced ingredients, with occasional Western-influenced choices offered alongside traditional courses. Sample elements used on the menu include local sashimi, simmered and grilled fish, seasonal vegetables and signature items such as a region-inspired gratin; a selection of local sake is offered to pair with the courses. Practical touches—yukata rental, a light midnight snack, and in-room dining service—reinforce a personalized stay that feels both domestic and carefully prepared, matching expectations for a ryokan with onsen Izu visitors seek.
The property caters to travelers who prefer a quieter, service-driven experience: staff present tea and sweets on arrival and arrange meals and small seasonal amenities in-room, while facilities include on-site parking and a modest internet option. Rooms face the garden and are appointed to balance traditional Japanese fittings with modern comforts, making the ryokan suitable for couples or small families seeking privacy and culinary focus rather than large-scale resort services. For visitors who value calm, in-room bathing and regional cuisine, this ryokan offers a concentrated, place-specific stay framed by Shimoda’s coastal setting.
