Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1-2 nightsPrivate in-room hot spring bathing is the main driver here: arrive early, soak before dinner, sleep in the hills, use breakfast and another bath next morning, then visit Shuzenji Onsen town or continue through Izu. A second night works if you want a slower resort rhythm or one nearby outing, but the immediate area is not dense enough for a long stay without a car.
Trip-planning verdict: Best as a 1- to 2-night countryside onsen retreat near Shuzenji rather than a walkable town base; choose it for private bath time, quiet surroundings, and a resort-style stop in Izu.

Know before booking

Not a town stayThe property sits in a large resort area above Shuzenji, so restaurants, shops, and casual evening wandering are limited without transport.
Access adds frictionRail access is workable via Mishima and Shuzenji Station, but the last leg relies on shuttle, taxi, or car rather than easy walkability.
Easy to overstayTwo nights is comfortable, but longer stays can feel repetitive unless you have a car, golf plans, or broader Izu sightseeing lined up.

Access, transport and nearby sights

This ryokan is inside the larger Laforet Resort Shuzenji in the hills above Shuzenji, so the most practical arrival is usually via Shuzenji Station and then shuttle bus or taxi.

Distances are approximate and calculated from the ryokan coordinates. Travel times may vary depending on route, traffic and schedules.

Should you choose this ryokan?

A strong pick for travelers who want a resort-style onsen stay in the Izu hills rather than a classic village ryokan in central Shuzenji Onsen. Its biggest strengths are the private open-air baths and spacious rooms, but the remote setting will not suit everyone.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Private onsen in every roomThe standout feature here is that every Sanshisuimei room comes with its own hot spring open-air bath. It makes the stay feel much more private and relaxing than a standard hotel onsen.
  • Spacious rooms for longer staysRooms are notably large for Japan, generally around 44 to 59 square meters, with Japanese-Western layouts available. This is especially appealing for couples, families, or travelers carrying luggage for a multi-stop trip.
  • Quiet forest resort atmosphereThe property sits inside the larger Laforet Resort Shuzenji, surrounded by woods and hills rather than busy streets. If you want calm mornings, fresh air, and a retreat feel, this setting works very well.
  • Extra facilities beyond a normal ryokanYou are not limited to just a room and bath: the wider resort includes public baths, a swimsuit spa area, sports facilities, tennis, and even golf. It suits travelers who want more to do on-site than a traditional small inn usually offers.
  • Useful for mixed travel stylesThis stay balances ryokan-like bathing with resort convenience, and there are dog-friendly room types as well. It works well for travelers who want onsen comfort without giving up space and practical amenities.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Far from Shuzenji townDespite the name, this is not a walkable stay in the historic Shuzenji Onsen center. You stay in a large hillside resort area, so it feels more isolated and less atmospheric for temple-street strolling.
  • Access is inconvenient without a carFrom Shuzenji Station, the trip still requires about 25 minutes by shuttle or road transfer. If you miss the shuttle timing or want full flexibility, the location can feel awkward.
  • Limited around-the-corner diningThe remote resort setting means you do not have the easy choice of nearby restaurants, cafes, or convenience stores. That can make meals feel less spontaneous, especially at night.
  • Less intimate than a classic ryokanThis is part of a broad resort complex, so the experience is more contemporary and spread out than a small family-run ryokan. Travelers seeking deep traditional charm may find it less personal.
  • Some rooms feel only partly secludedThe in-room open-air bath is a major plus, but the natural screening is not always total depending on room position and sightlines. If complete bath privacy is your top priority, expectations should stay realistic.
