IZU RETREAT by Onko Chishin

Every one of the 16 rooms looks straight out to sea, and each has its own private spring-fed onsen bath, which is the kind of sentence that makes people start searching flights. This stylish coastal hotel in Atagawa is a converted ryokan, and the old public bathhouse is now a suite with a private bath the size of a small apartment. The restaurant leans into the flavors of the Izu peninsula, salt air and all.
