Ryokans in Shizuoka

Service

A few blocks from the train station, this place is in a quiet neighborhood. I love the traditional Japanese tatami mat and futon set up. Their filter coffee for the rooms was delicious.

This seems to me an old family business, still run by the old owners. The room was clean and even it was in a modern building it had the charm and the smell of the old ryokans. I could have my private bath in their onsen both nights, which was a brilliant first experience for me. I enjoyed it really. The water and the facility is heated with infrared waves which made it special. The hotel soon need to be refurbished a bit, but after all they give a service which exceeds the price you pay. I didn' t tasted the food they provide, but the small restaurant is lovely a place

I finally committed to making an account on Booking.com just to gush about how much I loved this place. I thought we'd get a decent-sized room at best, but for the modest price we paid, we received what I can only describe as an entire hall of the building with the most beautiful, expansive view of the port. The traditional meals were so artfully presented and absolutely delicious (I low-key thought it would just be dinner but they did breakfast too and I could have cried). I was surprised by how filling, thoughtfully curated, and protein-centric everything was. Additionally, they were incredibly prompt and proactive during the days leading up to our stay, offered free shuttle services to and from Yaizu Station, and were very careful with arranging the kaiseki meal around my dietary restrictions. The private onsen, our first onsen experience, was fantastic, and the rooms and outdoor wraparound balconies were very spacious. Plus, the free tea and late-night snack services? I mean, the personal attentiveness and genuine kindness of the staff just blew me away. The town of Yaizu itself is a rather sleepy, small town, so not much to see within walking distance (aside from the lovely port of course) but the local charm is unmatched anywhere else we visited in Japan. It was a quiet, beautiful stay. I honestly would've stayed longer here if I knew how nice it would be.

The location is perfect since it's connected to Fujieda Station. Also all the purple touches because Wisteria is the flower for Fujieda (藤) were super cute. The coffeee/tea/water amenity set was probably what I liked most of the hotel.

Loved my room with private onsen on balcony. There was a free shuttle from the JR station. Food was great and staff exceptional.

My mother and I had such a comfortable two nights here. Both Issei and Kana are such kind souls, giving me thoughtful recommendations for tourism and meals. I'm also glad that they allowed me to use another room when I needed a space to take my work zoom calls. Thank you so much. And guests must try their dinner menu as well -- it's clear Issei puts deep care into every dish. I hope to come back again very soon.
