Higashiizu

Higashiizu has served as a hot-spring resort on Shizuoka Prefecture’s Izu Peninsula since the early 20th century. Set between the Pacific coast and the wooded slopes of the Amagi Mountains, the town is a chain of small coastal districts rather than one urban centre. Inatori Onsen is its best-known bathing area, while Atagawa and Hokkawa are also associated with mineral springs. Each winter and early spring, Inatori’s Hina no Tsurushi-kazari festival presents intricate hanging ornaments made for the Girls’ Festival, sustaining a local craft tradition.
