Shuzenji Onsen is a classic and atmospheric Japanese hot spring resort situated in the lush green mountains of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. According to tradition, the springs were discovered by the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi in the 9th century, and the resort retains a beautifully preserved historic character centered on the Shuzenji Temple and the original Tokko-no-yu spring, one of Izu's oldest baths. The bicarbonate thermal waters are prized for their skin-softening qualities and their gentle, warming effect on the body. A charming riverside promenade lined with ryokan, tea houses, and bamboo groves makes Shuzenji Onsen one of Japan's most evocative and romantic onsen destinations.
