2026 Izu City Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in April)

#japanhotel Just had the most extraordinary stay at Asaba Ryokan and wow—this is not just a hotel, it's a 500-year-old masterpiece that redefines what "incredible" means! 🏯 From the moment I followed that pebble-strewn path to the entrance and slipped off my shoes, I knew I'd stepped into something sacred. If you're planning a Japan getaway, use this vibe as your inspo: surrender completely to the rhythm of omotenashi, soak in onsen waters that have flowed for centuries, and let the floating Noh stage transport you to another world—it's where time stands still! What Makes It Special: 1. 530 Years of Unbroken History: Founded in 1489—before Columbus reached the Americas!—this ryokan has been meticulously preserved by generations of the Asaba family . Current okami-san (proprietress) Misa Asaba leads a staff that exemplifies the incomparable Japanese omotenashi ethos . It's not just a stay; it's living history. The property is a member of Relais & Chateaux and holds Two MICHELIN Keys—an exceptional stay designation . 2. That Iconic Floating Noh Stage: The centerpiece is a breathtaking Noh stage (Gekkeiden) floating on a serene pond, relocated from Tokyo during the Meiji period . It's not just decorative—several times a year, Living National Treasures perform traditional Japanese dance, theater, and music here . At night, the entire area is illuminated, casting magical reflections on the water with the bamboo grove glowing ethereally behind . 3. The Renovated Rooms with Private Onsen: After recent renovations, all 12 rooms now feature private onsen baths . Rooms are named, not numbered—Hagoromo (rebuilt spring 2023) offers modern Japanese style with an open-air onsen on the terrace overlooking the pond . Villa Tenko, the standalone 220m² villa, offers ultimate privacy with a sprawling deck and stunning outdoor onsen . The tatami is plush with the most comfortable futons you'll ever sleep on . 4. Michelin-Worthy Kaiseki Cuisine: Dinner and breakfast, included in your stay, showcase seasonal ingredients from Suruga Bay and local mountains . Think abalone with liver sauce over steamed glutinous rice, Ise spiny lobster prepared multiple ways, and Shizuoka Crown Melon—arguably the finest musk melon in the world at over $200 per piece . Breakfast features sublime dashimaki tamago and rice topped with katsuobushi shaved impossibly thin . 5. The Legendary Onsen Experience: The Daiyokujo open-air rotenburo offers panoramic views through bamboo groves, with waters that have flowed since ancient times . Access alternates between genders every few hours, but with private onsen in every room, you'll likely have it to yourself . There are also two indoor gender-segregated baths and a private family bath available . Personal tip: Request Hagoromo or Moegi for the best views of the Noh stage . #AsabaRyokan #IzuPeninsula #JapanTravel #RyokanExperience #Onsen #MichelinKey

Want to see cherry blossoms around Tokyo in February? The Kawazu Cherry Blossoms in Shizuoka on the Izu Peninsula are an excellent choice! Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom 1 to 1.5 months earlier than traditional cherry blossoms, with a blooming period lasting 20-30 days. In 2026, about 850 Kawazu cherry trees along the Kawazu River and a total of 8,000 trees in the entire area will be in full bloom. The cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers bloom simultaneously, creating a stunning palette of pink and yellow. The Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival will be held from February 7 to March 8, perfectly timed for the Lunar New Year holiday! Note that although Kawazu cherry blossoms have a long blooming period, their leaves appear quickly, so it is recommended to avoid visiting near the end of the season to ensure the best viewing experience. Recommended viewing spots: ① Nanohana Road (between Arakura Bridge and Kinomiya Bridge), where you can enjoy the beautiful contrast of yellow rapeseed flowers and cherry blossoms; ② Kawazu Cherry Blossom Tunnel (between Toyoizumi Bridge and Kawazu Ideyu Bridge), where cherry blossoms overlap overhead with dense clusters and fewer crowds than near the station; ③ Kawazu River Cherry Blossom Trail, about 4 km long, takes about 50 minutes to walk from Hamabashi near the sea upstream to Mine Bridge; ④ Upper Kawazu River section, where there are more people near Kawazu Station, but walking 20 minutes upstream offers a quiet cherry blossom viewing experience. Transportation recommendation: Take the Izu Kyuko Line from Tokyo to Kawazu Station, about 2.5 to 3 hours. From the station, it’s a 10-minute walk to the main festival venue.

The earliest large-scale cherry blossoms blooming every year🌸 Not Tokyo, not Kyoto, but Kawazu Cherry Blossoms on the Izu Peninsula. (Okinawa cherry blossoms are too bright pink, and Atami cherry blossoms are small and less impressive) ⸻ 🌸 2026 Kawazu Cherry Blossom Frontline Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom 1–1.5 months earlier than Somei Yoshino and have a longer blooming period. This winter is very warm, Atami cherry blossoms are already in full bloom, and Kawazu cherry blossoms are expected to bloom even earlier (full bloom just in time for the Lunar New Year). Expected timeline: · 🌱 February 5–10 | First bloom (pink buds on branches) · 🌸 February 15–25 | Full bloom (best viewing period) · 🌬 Early March | Gradual falling (leaves appear but still beautiful) ⚠️ Kawazu cherry blossoms last longer but leaf out quickly, so timing the perfect viewing is more challenging. ⸻ 📍 Less crowded, off-the-beaten-path cherry blossom spots ① Kawazu River · Quiet upstream section (99% of tourists don’t know) Everyone crowds near Kawazu Station, but the most beautiful spot is— a 15–20 minute walk upstream. · So few people you can hear the water flowing · Low-hanging cherry blossoms, perfect for portrait photos · Best viewed in the morning with backlight ⸻ ② Mine Onsen Area · Kawazu Cherry Blossoms + Traditional Japanese Old Hot Spring Street Compared to the main river area, this feels like cherry blossoms in everyday life. · Cherry blossoms nestled between old houses · A huge cherry blossom tree at the entrance of Kaiyuutei Kawazu Onsenkyo is perfect for photos (see photo 17) · Odoriko Onsen Kaikan (a day-use hot spring where you can soak under cherry blossom trees ♨️, no reservation needed, a must-visit!!!) ⸻ ③ Imaihama Coast · Hidden combo of cherry blossoms + sea (see photo 2) This spot is really off the radar. · Kawazu cherry blossoms + coastline · Blue sea contrasts beautifully with pink flowers, very elegant · Windy but the scene is clean and clear ⸻ 🚃 How to arrange transportation & itinerary for the most comfortable experience? Recommended route (easy version): Tokyo → Izukyu Line → Kawazu Station (About 2.5–3 hours total) Ideal itinerary: · Day 1: Arrive in Kawazu in the afternoon → Upstream river section + hot springs · Day 2: Early morning cherry blossom photos → Imaihama Coast → Return to Tokyo ⚠️ Same-day round trip from Tokyo is not recommended; it’s exhausting. ⸻ 👗 Outfit & photo tips (very important) · Colors: white / cream / gray / light denim · Materials: wool, tweed, trench coat · Avoid: large logos, highly saturated reds 📷 Photo tips: · Stand under the cherry blossom tree and shoot upward · Use the river as the foreground · Intentionally leave some “empty space” for a more Japanese-style composition ⸻ If you happen to be around Tokyo during the 2026 Lunar New Year, seize the chance to visit Kawazu, and meet the grand opening of spring.

Located in Kawazu Town in the southeastern part of the Izu Peninsula, this originally quiet town is nestled between mountains and the sea, with a river gently flowing into the bay. What truly brought it into the public eye is the Kawazu cherry blossoms that bloom every early spring, more than a month earlier than in Tokyo and other places, making it one of Japan’s “earliest places to welcome spring.” Come to Kawazu and feel the charm of this town in spring! 🌸 The 36th Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival From February 7 to March 8, 2026, along the Kawazu River in Kawazu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. About 850 Kawazu cherry trees bloom along the river, with a total of 8,000 cherry trees in the town. The blooming period is more than a month earlier than Tokyo, making it one of the earliest places in Japan to welcome spring. During the festival, an open-air market is set up along the riverbank where you can enjoy local delicacies while admiring the blossoms; after nightfall, the flowers are illuminated, creating a romantic atmosphere. Stroll under the blossoms and feel the gentle breath of early spring. 🌸 Kawazu Seven Waterfalls Located in Nashimoto, Kawazu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. Seven waterfalls with different styles are distributed along a 1.5 km valley, with a walking trail that takes about an hour. Next to the Shokei Waterfall stands a bronze statue of “The Dancing Girl of Izu,” adding a literary touch; along the way, you’ll pass the uniquely designed double spiral loop bridge, a visual marvel. The natural tranquility and changing scenery make it an ideal extension for getting close to nature after cherry blossom viewing. 🌸 Kawazu Bagatelle Park Located at 1073 Mine, Kawazu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. A French-style garden modeled after the Bagatelle Rose Garden in Paris, with roses beginning to bloom in spring and flourishing in autumn. The park has about 6,000 rose plants of 1,100 varieties. On clear days, you can enjoy views of the Southern Alps and Mount Fuji, blending exquisite horticulture with majestic mountain scenery, peaceful yet vast. 🌸 Odoriko Onsen Hall Located at 457-1 Mine, Kawazu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. Situated in the Mine Onsen area, the setting of “The Dancing Girl of Izu” story, this purely Japanese-style building features a painted eave with a dancing girl motif, evoking a literary atmosphere. The open-air bath is built along the Kawazu River, where in spring you can soak in the hot springs while admiring the Kawazu cherry blossoms, with the sound of flowing water and swaying flower shadows creating a serene and poetic experience. 🌸 Mine Onsen Great Geyser Park Located at 446-1 Mine, Kawazu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. This natural geyser-type hot spring, drilled in 1926, still erupts with a force of about 600 liters per minute, reaching heights of up to 30 meters. The geyser show is performed hourly from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM daily (closed on Tuesdays and Fridays), with hot water shooting into the air and steam filling the surroundings, creating a spectacular scene; visitors can also try making hot spring eggs and enjoy foot baths on site. Kawazu is the place where spring begins earliest. Here, cherry blossoms, hot springs, mountains and sea, literature, and handmade sweets intertwine into a vivid spring tapestry—early cherry blossoms as promised, mountains and sea embraced, and the warmth of life close at hand. Come to Kawazu and start your unique journey.

Izu Peninsula is one of Japan's premier vacation destinations, known for its azure seas, tranquil onsen towns, and cherry blossoms that bloom early in spring. · 📍 Must-Visit Highlights: · Shuzenji Onsen: Often called 'Little Kyoto of Izu,' this spot offers peaceful moments as you stroll through bamboo forest paths and visit the thousand-year-old Shuzenji Temple. 🎋⛩️ · Jogasaki Coast: A dramatic cliff coastline formed by lava meeting the sea. Walking across the thrilling suspension bridge while gazing at the waves below is an unforgettable experience. 🌉🌊 · Mt. Omuro: A uniquely shaped volcano resembling an overturned rice bowl. Take the lift to the summit for panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and the Pacific Ocean. ⛰️🚠 · Atami: The gateway to Izu, famous for its seaside onsen and spectacular marine fireworks displays. 🎆♨️ · 🍴 Culinary Delights: · Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper) Dishes: A local specialty fish of Izu.

We always thought cherry blossoms wouldn’t show up until the end of March, until we accidentally wandered to the banks of the Kawazu River on the Izu Peninsula and discovered that spring can arrive this early and so suddenly—the Kawazu cherry blossoms in early February have gathered all their strength, dyeing the entire river valley in rosy clouds, with even the breeze carrying a sweet fragrance, announcing the grand opening of "Japan’s earliest cherry blossom season." Unlike the slender Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms, Kawazu cherry blossoms have rounder, fuller petals and a gentle light pink color. In the still chilly early spring, they look like clusters of sun-warmed cotton candy or the cheeks of a girl without makeup, softening the very air with their pink hue. Strolling along the Kawazu River, 8,000 cherry trees bloom in succession on both banks, their shadows falling into the flowing water, rippling into a moving sea of flowers. Occasionally, a white egret flies by, stirring a pool of rosy ripples. Here, there are no crowded crowds like Tokyo’s Ueno Park, only the babbling stream and birdsong, and even time seems to slow down. Locals set up stalls selling freshly baked sakura mochi—pink glutinous rice cakes wrapped in red bean paste, bursting with the fresh aroma of cherry leaves. An elderly man plays the shamisen by the riverbank, the strings blending with the floral scent, creating a rhythm of spring more authentic than any background music. 📅 Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival Dates: February 7 - March 8 (Golden period for early cherry blossoms, miss it and wait another year!) 📍 Prime Viewing Spots: Along the Kawazu River, Kawazu Seven Waterfalls, Mine Onsen Village 🚄 Transportation Guide: · From Tokyo: Take the Shinkansen to Atami Station (about 50 minutes), transfer to the Izu Kyuko Line to Kawazu Station (about 1 hour), then a 10-minute walk to the riverbank · From Osaka/Kyoto: Take the Tokaido Shinkansen to Shizuoka Station, transfer to the JR Tokaido Main Line to Numazu Station, then switch to the Izu Hakone Railway to Kawazu Station 🌸 Cherry Blossom Festival Exclusive Activities: ✅ "Night Sakura Light Show": Every night from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the riverside cherry trees are draped in warm yellow lights, reflecting on the water like a starry river falling (recommended photo spot: Horai Bridge, a classic vantage point!) ✅ "Sakura Market": Taste sakura ice cream, sakura mochi, sakura leaf tea, and shop for handmade sakura accessories ✅ "Onsen Cherry Blossom Viewing": Stay at Mine Onsen Ryokan, soak in the open-air hot springs while watching cherry blossoms fall outside the window—this is the pinnacle of Japanese-style romance 💡 Insider Tips: 1. Dress Code: Early spring has big temperature differences between morning/evening and daytime. Wear a light jacket during the day, and bring a shawl for the cool riverside breeze; choose lightweight, slip-resistant shoes as some stone paths can be slippery. 2. Photography Tips: Early morning from 7 to 9 AM has fewer people and soft light; backlighting the petals creates a beautiful translucent effect; note that drones are prohibited in certain areas—please observe signs. 3. Avoid Crowds: Weekends are busier; if your schedule is flexible, visit on weekdays to enjoy the entire sea of blossoms alone. 4. Food Bonus: Near Kawazu Station, the "Yabukin" diner’s signature sakura taiyaki is crispy outside, soft inside, with red bean paste carrying a faint cherry blossom fragrance. While other cities are still waiting for the snow to melt, the Kawazu River in Izu has already written a love letter to spring with cherry blossoms. No need to fight the crowds for the popular bloom period—here, the early cherry blossoms are telling you with the most passionate display: spring has truly arrived.

Some tastes evoke memories of certain moments— The aroma wafting from the morning market The warmth encountered in a quiet afternoon alley The simple dishes by the harbor at dusk From bustling city streets to serene coastal towns Flavors gradually become gentler Yet more profound Each bite is a snapshot of the present No need for elaborate descriptions Delicious is enough

When you arrive at Ito Station in Izu, Japan, make sure to visit this restaurant! It's one of the only two restaurants in Japan that I found truly delicious! There's another great restaurant nearby, and I've shared its photos and location in the comments section! Follow the location of this place and give it a try. Their whole Kinmedai fish is incredibly tasty and pairs perfectly with rice, offering a flavor that really suits Chinese tastes. Another must-try is their hot rice topped with thinly sliced beef, which is a signature dish on every table—so fresh and flavorful. I finished the entire fish myself! This entire feast only cost us a little over 7,000 yen.
