Izumi Takairiya Kogen Onsen is set in Kawazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, on the Izu Peninsula. The sodium-chloride water reaches 41°C. An indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna are available.
Insider tip — Takairiya Kogen Onsen serves the Kawazu plateau in the central Izu Peninsula where the Kawazu-Seven-Waterfall valley descends through basalt columns and cedar forest from the highland plateau to the famous Kawazu sakura cherry groves below. Kawazu-cho is celebrated throughout Japan for the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival (late January to March) where a unique early-blooming species of deep-pink cherry creates Japan first spring blossom show each winter along the four-kilometre riverside promenade — a spectacle that predates the standard Japanese cherry season by over a month.
