Overview
Hotel Shiraiwa Oshima stands on the rise above Motomachi Port, the front gateway to Izu Oshima, and is an onsen inn known for its natural hot spring, Benitsubaki no Yu. From the open-air bath next to the communal bath you can feel the sea breeze while taking in the starry sky, the mountains of Izu and Mount Fuji. Dinner brings island flavors such as tsubaki fondue, an Oshima specialty in which ingredients are fried in camellia oil, along with fresh sashimi, and breakfast features freshly made handmade tofu. Guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms for an unhurried stay, and the inn makes a handy base for island sightseeing such as Mount Mihara and Tsubaki Hana Garden, so it is an easy choice for a family trip to Izu Oshima.
Hotel Shiraiwa Oshima, a natural hot spring inn, stands on the rise above Motomachi Port, the front gateway to Izu Oshima, and makes a handy base for exploring the island. It is close to the harbor, so you can head straight there after crossing from Tokyo or Atami by boat or plane - a welcome detail on an island trip with children.
The pride of the inn is its natural hot spring, Benitsubaki no Yu. From the open-air bath next to the communal bath you can feel the sea breeze while looking out at the mountains of Izu and Mount Fuji, and at night guests report a sky full of stars. In the open feeling that only an island surrounded by the sea can offer, the family can soak in the onsen at their own pace.
Meals showcase flavors unique to Izu Oshima. Dinner options include the specialty tsubaki fondue, where you fry seafood, vegetables and ashitaba greens in oil blended with camellia oil produced on Oshima, as well as plans with fresh sashimi served on a large platter. Breakfast brings the freshly made handmade tofu that guests praise. Getting to know the island's culture through its food becomes a memory of the family trip in itself.
Guest rooms are mainly Japanese-style tatami rooms. The largest, a 10-tatami-mat Japanese-style room with a bath and toilet, is a corner room, and there are also 8-tatami-mat Japanese-style rooms with a toilet, giving the family room to spread out.
The hotel sits on the rise above Motomachi Port, close to the harbor where ferries and jet ferries arrive and depart, making it a convenient base for getting around the island by bus or rental car. It is also well placed for spots families enjoy, such as hiking on Mount Mihara, Tsubaki Hana Garden where you can meet squirrels, and Oshima Park Zoo, which is free to enter.
Please note that this is not an inn with playground equipment or a pool for children; it is an island inn where you spend your time with the onsen and the island's food. For baby items available to borrow and for shuttle service, please confirm directly with the hotel when you book.
