[2025 Higashiizu Stay] Travel Guide for Bousui (Updated Mar)

Izu Bousui: A Healing Experience | Stunning Views The highlight of this trip was Izu, without a doubt. We booked Izu Bousui Onsen Ryokan, and the views and private bath experience were amazing. Scenery The lobby has huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a 270-degree view of the sea. The sunset is stunning. Even though I had seen many photos online, seeing it in person was still breathtaking. Every photo was amazing. Outside the window is the vast Pacific Ocean, and the view changes with the sunlight throughout the day, with sparkling waves. Private Bath We chose a premium private bath (90 mins) and got a free regular private bath (50 mins). The premium private bath we chose was "AO NO IZANAI." It was an amazing experience with a wide view of the Pacific Ocean. We chose the time slot from 2 pm to 3:30 pm, before sunset, but the blue scenery was also beautiful. The hotel also provided various drinks to enjoy, and the 90 mins were enough to heal the fatigue of the journey. Even though I had seen many photos, experiencing it in person was still amazing! The regular private bath we chose was "AO NO IZANAI." Overall, the bath was relatively small, and the view was not as wide (180-degree view of the sea), and the drinks provided were relatively limited. But honestly, the regular private bath experience was also great! If we had experienced the regular one first, we would have been just as amazed. We chose the time slot from 8:10 am to 9 am, and the sun was quite strong. If you want to see the sunrise, I suggest going earlier. Meals We chose the standard one-night, two-meal plan. Dinner was kaiseki cuisine, which was quite standard, with various fish and meat, but it didn't seem very fresh. However, there were many options, and we were full. Breakfast was rich and varied, and we were quite satisfied. If you have high expectations for meals, you can choose to pay extra for more advanced cuisine when booking. Snacks Snacks and drinks in the lobby are free to take. We had the best sweet potato fries of our lives on this trip. They were really delicious! We could have been full just from eating these. When we were leaving, we found that the small shop also sold them! We regretted not taking a few more bags! Later, when we returned to Tokyo, we saw similar fried dough sticks, but they didn't taste as good as the ones in Izu. They were crispier and not as sweet. Overall, we loved them. Izu's specialty orange juice is also available for free, and it tastes good. Transportation The hotel provides a free shuttle bus from Izu Atagawa Station, a 10-minute drive, which is very convenient. We called the hotel after we got off the train, and they immediately arranged a car to pick us up in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommended. Shizuoka Izu Bousui Hotel Bousui Ryokan

As soon as I stepped into this quiet place, my heart was completely conquered! Every brick and tile reveals a Japanese style, as if traveling through time and space, I came to ancient Kyoto. But the scenery here is more magnificent and romantic than Kyoto. The design of the hotel is simply ingenious, and every window is a beautiful picture. Pulling the curtains, the blue and boundless sea is in sight, sparkling, and intertwined with the sky to form a moving picture. At that moment, I took a deep breath, as if the air was filled with the freshness and freedom of the sea. Walking on the wooden corridor of the hotel, every step is quiet and peaceful. The soft sound of the waves in my ears, and the occasional cry of seagulls in the distance, all make me forget the troubles of the world, just want to immerse in this beauty, and never want to leave. The night view of the water is even more flavorful, the lights are dim, and the stars are shining. Sitting on the terrace of the hotel, holding a cup of warm matcha, quietly watching the waves hitting the shore, my heart is full of unprecedented peace and satisfaction. I really want to say that the view of the water is so beautiful that people are drunk and don't want to leave! If you also yearn for a trip to say goodbye, yearn for a baptism of the soul, then here, it is definitely your best choice!

❣️The characteristic of the hotel is that you can see the sea view directly from the window, and you can see the moon on the sea at night. Therefore, I specially chose a full moon day to come. The moon on the sea outside the room window at night is really beautiful. ❣️In addition to public hot springs, this hotel also offers private hot springs. This hotel provides a semi-open-air private hot spring venue that is very large. In addition to the hot spring, there is also a large living room. Free drinks and snacks are provided so that guests can lie comfortably in the living room and drink and chat after taking a bath. ❣️The overall stay experience was very good, and the private room hot spring was even more impressive. #TokyoHotel #Izu #JapaneseHotspring #TokyoFreeTravel

Come to Izu, highly recommend Izu Water Onsen Hotel. though! It takes 5-10 minutes to get to the station by car, but! There is a shuttle bus from the hotel! It's no problem not to have a car! Stay one night for a free private soup, after arranging to enter the room, the waiter will ask on the spot how time breakfast/dinner needs, which hot spring you want to soak, what time. The meal is really very rich, the sister serves it on time every day. Every meal is full before going to bed, everything is not out of order, the next day there is a hearty breakfast waiting for me😚 At night, a waiter will come in to lay the tatami, because it is quite thick, so you won't feel uncomfortable at all Because I stayed for a few nights, I can try 4 hot springs 🫢🫢 Actually, the difference is not very big, plus I went to live a bit, so I didn't see the view 🥲 There is water and black bean tea at the hot spring, you can drink while replenishing moisture 🫶🏻 #Izu #NearTokyo #IzuWater #OnsenHotel #HotelRecommendation #IzuHotel #OnsenInn
