"Izu Oshima" is the largest island of the Izu Islands. The ground part of the "Izu Oshima Volcano" that rises from the sea floor is an island, and you can enjoy the magnificent natural beauty of dynamically undulating strata and gently sloping mountains. Although it is a remote island, there are plenty of rental car shops and souvenir shops, so it is also recommended for remote island beginners.

"Hotel & Resort Masio" stands halfway up a mountain on an island overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This hotel is popular for its cuisine that uses fresh ingredients from Izu Oshima and its beauty treatments that use the island's specialty "camellia oil."

"Hotel Shiraiwa" is about an 8-minute walk from "Motomachi Port" where the high-speed ferry arrives. In front of the inn, a cute camellia flower that is typical of Izu Oshima welcomes you. Relax in the natural onsen created by the eruption of the island's volcano Mt. Feel the rich nature of Izu Oshima with your whole body and free your mind♪

onsen of Izu Oshima gushed out during the 1986 eruption of Mt. Mihara. It's a onsen on an island in the Pacific Ocean, so it's a bit salty. If you soak yourself in the solid stone bathtub, you will feel your physical and mental fatigue melt away. Outside the large window, there is also an open-air bath where you can feel the island breeze.

This is a "Japanese-Western style room" that combines the convenience of a Western-style room with the comfort of a Japanese-style room. I'm glad that there is a tatami-floored raised space where you can drink tea and chat! With such a large room, you don't have to worry about where to put your luggage. It can accommodate up to 5 people, so it's perfect for a girls' trip in a group or a family trip.

"Hotel Shiraiwa"'s specialty dish, "Camellia Oil Fondue". Skewered vegetables and seafood are deep-fried in oil blended with camellia oil, a specialty of the island. Smooth camellia oil is healthier than regular oil. Freshly fried and crispy ingredients are packed on the spot!

You can overlook the sea and the Izu Peninsula from your room. In the warm Japanese-style room, you can feel the passage of time more slowly than usual. Although the hotel was built on the ruins of a Heian military commander's mansion, the amenities are modern. Toothbrushes, rinse-in shampoo, yukata, etc. are well prepared, so you can rest assured.
