Izu Peninsula Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

~ Shuzenji in Autumn

The oldest onsen town on Shizuoka’s beautiful Izu Peninsula, it is listed as one of the “100 Best Hot Springs” in the country. Shuzenji also made GaijinPot’s list as of one the three most unforgettable ryokan and onsen experiences in Japan from travel expert Rob Goss. After soaking in the hot spring, don a yukata (a light cotton kimono), and stroll down the bamboo forest path along the Katsura River. The natural scenery is particularly stunning during autumn. Address: Shuzenji, Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture 410-2416, Japan #urbanexplorer #mapletrees #naturalwonders #redleaf #autumncolours #japan

The Togetsu Bridge of Shuzenji Onsen is different from the Togetsu Bridge of Kyoto. Aside from the fact that they do not look anything more alike, they also have a lot of different things to offer. The Togetsu Bridge of Shuzenji Onsen has many locals roaming around with a 1900s carriage, offering tourists for a paid ride around the historical complex. That and many more fun in the area! #holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear

Izu demon cat pass! Xiushan Temple can also be understood as a small town in Japan, a famous sightseeing spot of Izu, which is a temple, a shrine, a bamboo forest, a hot spring, and a history and humanity. The Xiu Temple, the core area of Xiushan Temple, was founded in the early days of the Heian period by the master of the Hongfa (that is, in the demon cat biography). Before I came, I heard about the beauty of Hongye Hongqiao in Xiushan Temple. Therefore, it is really worthwhile to wear a kimono to walk through the ancient streets of Xiushan Temple. The attractions here are very concentrated, and most of the famous attractions and restaurants can be reached on foot. It is a stop that Shizuoka should not miss, also known as "Little Kyoto of Izu"

I spent the New Year's holiday abroad at Shuzenji, Japan

Shuzenji, Japan. 🌟🌟🌟 Shuzenji in Japan holds a high status, and in the evening, it is very quiet with few people around, allowing for a peaceful appreciation of the temple's beauty. The Fudo hot spring is said to have been named when the 8th-century monk Kobo Daishi struck a rock with a Buddhist priest's staff, causing hot spring water to gush forth. This is also the birthplace of the Shuzenji hot springs. 🌟🌟🌟 The Niji-no-Sato Park in Shuzenji recreates a 17th-century English town atmosphere with 'British Village' and a 'Craftsmen Village' showcasing traditional Japanese crafts, where one can spend hours savoring the experience. 🌟🌟🌟 Visiting Shuzenji allows one to feel an inner peace, with its scenic views everywhere, ubiquitous hot springs, timeless old inns, and more. No wonder there are so many tourists from all over the world who love Japan.

Unlike all the other castles that I’ve been to before, Atami Castle doesn’t really have a huge gallery. It only houses many miniatures and paintings of castles all around Japan, some traditional artifacts, and some old paintings of ancient Japan’s porn. *laughs* However, those are not the things you would like to experience in Atami Castle. What you definitely want to see in Atami Castle is the view of Atami City from the high vantage point. #holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear

Atami Hanami

#cherryblossom2024 Atami Castle, towering 120 meters above Sagami Bay, looks very ancient. However, although the creators were inspired by the architecture of the Momoyama period (1568-1600), this is one of the newest castles in Japan: it was built in 1959. Anyway, the view from the castle is simply magnificent, and tourists definitely have something to see. How to get there At Atami Station on the JR Tokaido Line, take the Yuyu Sightseeing Loop sightseeing tour bus and drive to Atami Castle. After getting off the ring bus at the Marine Spa Atami stop, use the Atami cable car: from the upper station to the castle it is only a few minutes on foot. Modern building Unlike other Japanese castles, Atami is not a historical building. It was built in 1959, during the period of the tourist boom, and has always served only for the entertainment of tourists. Nevertheless, the castle is a fairly accurate copy of those that were built during the Momoyama period, at the end of the XVI century. Therefore, it fits perfectly into a number of original buildings of that era, such as the castle in Osaka. Panoramic view Today, Atami Castle is a universal tourist attraction, where a variety of objects of Japanese culture are presented: from a collection of samurai costumes from the Edo period to an exhibition of erotic prints in the Ukiyo—e style. The exposition dedicated to the castles of Japan and their history is a tribute to the historical "ancestors" of the Atami. The real highlight of the castle is the view from the top floor of Sagami Bay. It becomes especially fascinating in the spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom. Sakura blooming here is esecially charming! However, it is also good idea to come here in the summer, during the famous Fireworks Festival.

The most beautiful cherry blossoms in eastern Shizuoka are all here (from late March to early April)

Eastern Shizuoka, Izu Peninsula, as if you were in an ocean of cherry blossoms, with pink petals fluttering down, picturesque and poetic. As the spring breeze passes, under the cherry trees, a romantic pink is left behind. A gentle breeze stirs, and amidst the cherry blossom rain, it's like a dreamy fairyland. Immersed in it, the soul is purified, forgetting the troubles and disturbances of the mundane world. Each cherry blossom is a masterpiece of nature, each view a gift from the great outdoors. In this ocean of cherry blossoms, let your heart drift with the wind, and in the fragrance of the flowers, appreciate the beauty and brevity of life. Listen quietly, to the blossoming and falling of the flowers, feel the passage of time, and taste the cycle of life. The Izu Peninsula, where the cherry blossoms bloom, is the yearning for the beauty of the soul, and also a portrayal of life in full bloom. 🔎Japan Niche Travel | Izu Ito | Guesthouse Travel | Shop Exploration Share | Chartered Travel Izu Peninsula·Japan Shizuoka·Shizuoka Prefecture
