Xiuchan Temple ~ Bamboo Path ~ Unique Hot Spring ~ Foot Bath Experience
Shuzenji boasts hot springs, temples, bamboo groves, and a rich history. It's also a frequent setting in famous Japanese literary works, intricately linking this breathtaking tourist destination with literature. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery while immersing themselves in different literary atmospheres. Shuzenji is also a renowned autumn foliage viewing spot in the Kanto region. Every year from early November, the magnificent scenery of the maple leaves gradually turning from green to vibrant red attracts countless tourists from home and abroad.
Doku-no-Yu is the oldest hot spring in Izu. Legend has it that in 807 AD, when the high monk Kukai visited this place, he was deeply moved by the filial piety of a young boy. He struck the rocks of the river with a doku-no-yu (Buddhist implement), and this spring gushed forth.
The Bamboo Grove Path runs alongside the Katsura River, which flows through the center of Shuzenji Onsen-kyo. Starting at the road beside Dokko-no-Yu (Dokko-no-Yu Hot Spring), it passes the beautifully painted vermilion-lacquered Katsura Bridge and Kaede Bridge, ending at the upstream Takishita Bridge, a distance of approximately 300 meters. With its spectacular bamboo groves and beautiful stone-paved path, it is a very popular tourist attraction.
※Special gift during autumn: Viewing autumn leaves at Shuzenji Natural Park ※Expected peak season for autumn leaves: Mid-November to early December
