There are two beautiful things in this world. The first is the buildings and townscapes that are based on the history and culture that mankind has built up over time. The other is nature, untouched by mankind. We will explore the world and seek out what is still sleeping in it, what is not valued. We deliver to people all over the world as a work of art that fascinates the heart.

The name LOQUAT is derived from the phantom fruit "white loquat" that can only be seen in early summer in the land called Toi. Since white loquat is not treated gently, it will spoil quickly, so it is difficult to find it outside . Loquat, named after the white loquat, is a facility that has been renovated from the residence of the Toi family, who have been landlords of Toi for generations since the Edo period. It is said that the Suzuki family made a great contribution to Toi through the work of transporting charcoal from Amagi to Toi by sea. At LOQUAT Nishiizu, which was created by renovating the residence of the Suzuki family, you can enjoy a special stay experience and meals that use plenty of local ingredients.

The only guest rooms that have been refurbished while retaining the beauty of the old house are two rooms in a renovated storehouse and a separate villa. In the second storehouse, where the history of the storehouse is preserved most strongly, you can fully enjoy the large space of the one-story storehouse and the atmosphere of the storehouse on the skip floor toward the bedroom. On the other hand, San no Kura, which utilizes the unique walls of a storehouse, is characterized by a sense of openness due to the atrium that retains the ancient beams.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Izu lava that has been around for over 100 years creates a space like a secret base. At Ryogura, you can enjoy an open-air bath with free-flowing hot springs on the terrace that makes you feel more private.

In addition, LOQUAT's villa, Villa SUGURO , is a spacious 160-square-meter old private house on the bank of a river in the mountains that has been renovated to create a completely private space. There is no doubt that you can fully enjoy the blessings of Toi with a visiting chef, bar service, and hammam bath that are limited to Sugurotei. We want you to get away from your busy everyday life and feel what is really important. With that in mind, LOQUAT Concierge welcomes special customers limited to 3 groups per day.

Create something that hasn't existed before with what is there.

At LOQUAT Nishiizu, you can also enjoy a meal packed with commitment and passion .

With the desire to let people taste Nishiizu, the lunches and dinners offered at LOQUAT Nishiizu use plenty of local ingredients. A variety of dishes are cooked with exquisite heat to bring out the flavor of the ingredients, accented with handmade natural salt. Ingredients are procured on the same day, so we can deliver the nature of Nishiizu at that moment with a colorful dish using fresh ingredients. The excitement and anticipation of not knowing what kind of food will be served that day. In order to respond to such customer's feelings, a skilled chef will show his skills while facing the ingredients of the day and imagining the customer's face.

In addition, more than 50 kinds of carefully selected Italian wines, which are always available, bring out the deliciousness of the dishes. Please spend a wonderful meal while feeling the history in a large tiled roof Japanese house where the Suzuki family crest remains.

And if you want to enjoy the food of Nishiizu even more, head to SANTi , a gelato and bakery shop. At SANTi, you can enjoy gelato made with the best seasonal ingredients. A gelato made by a female gelatiele who studied in Italy and is filled with the passion of cherishing the ingredients of Izu and the deliciousness of the season. We are confident that you will feel like coming back and eating gelato as the seasons change. In addition, the bakery and baked confectionery provided by SANTi are selected mainly from domestic wheat, and are proud of their deliciousness. The yeast uses natural yeast, and each one is carefully baked to deliver its deliciousness.

SANTi purchases carefully selected materials and raw materials from producers as close as possible. It is because there is a passion to realize sustainable regional activities. It may be that SANTi's gelato and bakery are filled with such thoughts, and you can feel the nature and warmth of the people of Nishiizu. We hope that you will spend a relaxing time at SANTi when the seasons change.
