Senoumi
--- The property is not yet rated
Senoumi is a seaside ryokan on Izu’s east coast in Higashiizu, Shizuoka, occupying a mid-sized coastal site with rooms that emphasize sea views and traditional tatami layouts; guest accommodation includes Japanese-style rooms and a small number of Japanese‑Western suites, with several rooms featuring private open‑air baths that face the water. The property totals thirty‑six rooms and maintains standard ryokan services such as evening kaiseki-style dining in the restaurant and an Asian breakfast offering; standard arrival and departure hours are published by the property.
Bathing facilities are a central feature: the ryokan with onsen in Shizuoka provides both a large communal indoor bath and an open‑air onsen with sea views, and it also offers a reservable private onsen option for those seeking exclusive use, with reservations handled on arrival or in advance where available. Public bathing etiquette is enforced (visible restrictions for tattooed guests apply to communal areas), and the complex lists additional spa amenities such as a sauna and changing facilities to support day‑use and overnight guests.
Practical facilities and services include a small bar, an outdoor pool and tennis court, free on‑site parking, multilingual staff support, vending machines and laundry services; complimentary Wi‑Fi is available in public areas and many guest rooms. The ryokan’s position within easy walking distance of the local station and coastal walking routes makes it suitable for couples or families seeking a quiet seaside base with direct access to local seafood dining and shoreline activities.
