About this stay

Arai Ryokan is one of the oldest operating inns in the world, with a history stretching back over 800 years in the ancient hot spring town of Shuzenji. The property's Registered Tangible Cultural Property main building and its expansive garden with a 15th-century Noh stage create a living connection to Japan's cultural past. The onsen baths range from intimate indoor tubs to a dramatic open-air bath surrounded by boulders and forest. The kaiseki cuisine draws from both Izu's coastal bounty and mountain ingredients, served in rooms overlooking the moss-and-stone garden.
