Ryokan Kawazu Kaien
413-0513 Shizuoka, Kawazu, Hama 358, Japan – Great location - show map
Beautifully presented ryokan - a real Japanese experience. The rooms were comfortable and it was lovely having a tatami area whilst sleeping on more western-style beds. We were able to use the large indoor and outdoor onsen privately each day, which was great. Very friendly staff and if you like Japanese breakfast, this place has an excellent one. A quiet, locally-used beach over the road was great in high season, when all other beaches were crowded.
United Kingdom家族の誕生日のサプライズをお願いしたのですが、連休中の忙しい中にもかかわらず、快く受け入れてくださりました。ケーキをお願いし、食事中に部屋に置いておいていただきました。ロウソクやライター、ナイフ、お皿まで用意してくださいました。おかげでとても思い出に残る記念日になりました。ありがとうございました。
Japan类似于民宿的酒店，只有几间客房。位置很好，出门右转，步行五分钟就到赏樱处。露天温泉非常舒服。海景很漂亮，如果起得来，应该看看日出。

Right in front of Kawazu Beach, Kawazu Kaien was opened in 1881 and offers hot-spring baths and Japanese meals around traditional Iriori hearths. The spacious rooms were renovated in 2005 and offer sea views, an LCD TV and free Wi-Fi.
Rooms at Kawazu Kaien Inn have Western-style beds and a seating area with Japanese-style tatami (woven-straw) flooring. Each room is air-conditioned and comes with slippers, green tea, toothbrushes and Yukata robes. There is an en suite toilet, and guests bathe at the hot-spring baths.
The inn is a 5-minute walk from Kawazu Train Station (Izu Kyuko Line) and a 5-minute drive to Kawazu Bagatelle Park. Kawazu Nanadaru Falls is a 20-minute drive. On-site parking is free.
The hot-spring baths are open 24/7, and can be reserved for private use for 40 minutes per group between 19:30 and 22:30. (Please choose a time slot at check-in.) Massages can also be booked.
A set-menu breakfast and dinner are served either at Zendokoro-Kaien Restaurant or around the Japanese-style fireplaces at the “Meiji Room”. The restaurant is open for lunch from 11:00-15:00 (closed Wednesdays).

-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
