[Shizuoka/Shuzenji Onsen] A hot spring inn with a beautiful Japanese garden "SORA Togetsuso Kinryu"
In Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, the hot spring resort "Shuzenji Onsen Town" has a history of 1200 years.

A garden that changes with the seasons
The garden is the first thing that catches your eye when you step into SORA.
This is the only place in Japan where you can enjoy the changing appearance of the SORA garden, which spreads over an area of about 50,000 square meters, depending on the season from the guest room.
One of the real pleasures of staying at this ryokan is going out for a walk from the lounge space with a drink in hand.
spring - cherry blossoms -
It is in full bloom around April every year.
summer -dark green-
A summer garden dyed in deep green. The way it shines in the rain and dew is also beautiful.
Autumn -Autumn Leaves-
The blazing autumn leaves garden is a spectacular sight that can only be seen in autumn.
winter -snow scene-
Shuzenji doesn't get a lot of snow, but if you're lucky, you might see a pure white garden.

In the pond in the garden, carefully raised Nishikigoi swim gracefully.
Let's take a walk around the vast grounds of about 50,000 square meters.
Numerous attractive hot springs, including popular guest room open-air baths
SORA is fully equipped with facilities that allow you to enjoy the historic Shuzenji Onsen.
Even those who came to Japan wanting to bathe in hot springs will surely be satisfied.
Big bath
A public hot spring that can be used by any hotel guest. Relax in the spacious bathtub. I'm also happy that the hojicha after the bath is free.
Private open-air bath
This is a private bath, so you can enjoy the hot spring in a private space without meeting other guests.
It is also recommended for those who have difficulty using the public bath due to religious reasons. If you make a reservation at the front desk, you can pay an extra fee to enter.
Guest room open-air bath
The guest room open-air bath, which is installed only in some guest rooms, is the most private hot spring in SORA.
You can enjoy the hot spring with the superb view of the garden that I introduced earlier.
Rooms with attention to detail
With only 29 rooms on a vast site of about 50,000 square meters, this is the only luxury inn you can find in Izu.
That is the Japanese resort "SORA Togetsuso Kinryu".
Semi-open-air bath Onsen & terrace Guest room with bed
A hot spring "semi-open-air bath" with a large openable window. A Japanese-style bed that is familiar to people from Western cultures.
In addition, there are chairs on the balcony where you can relax while looking at the garden. SORA's highest grade with full amenities.
cooking
An appetizer filled with commitment to each item. Blessed seafood unique to Izu. A variety of dishes that generously use the best ingredients.
The sora menu is prepared by carefully selecting delicious ingredients not only from the local area but also from all over the country.

lastly
SORA Togetsuso Kinryu is one of the most famous inns in Shuzenji, which became famous after appearing in the popular Japanese drama "The Full-Time Wife Escapist". If you want to enjoy a trip to Japan, from world heritage sites such as Mt. Fuji and Sengen Taisha Shrine to the seafood of Suruga Bay and the Izu Geopark, staying at SORA is recommended.
