Introducing 'il azzurri': A New Gem in Nishiizu

On December 1, 2025, the much-anticipated luxury resort hotel 'il azzurri' will open its doors in the picturesque Nishiizu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. Developed by Onko Chishin Co., Ltd., this destination hotel reflects the beauty of its surroundings and offers guests an unforgettable getaway experience.

A Stunning Location Awaits

Located approximately three hours from Tokyo by car, 'il azzurri' boasts breathtaking views of Suruga Bay. The name 'il azzurri' translates to 'the azure' in Italian, a nod to the stunning ocean vistas that are reminiscent of the deep blue waters found near Capri Island in Italy.

The resort features 46 guest rooms, each with ocean views and a private open-air bath, allowing guests to soak in tranquility while enjoying the stunning landscape.

Architectural Splendor Reflecting Nature

The interior design of the hotel is inspired by the expansive blue sky and ocean that surrounds it. By day, visitors can relax in elegant chairs, sipping wine or limoncello, engulfed in a serene atmosphere. There are seven different types of rooms, and each guarantees spectacular views of the Izu sky and sea. Guests can indulge in the luxury of their private open-air baths, enhancing their stay with peaceful moments and stunning scenery.

Culinary Delights and Unique Dining Experience

Dining during your stay at 'il azzurri' transforms mere meals into experiences. The resort emphasizes a free-flow beverage service featuring champagne and wine. For dinner, guests can enjoy an Italian buffet inspired by the coastal riches of Izu, while breakfast features a mix of Western and Japanese buffet options, truly celebrating the local culinary heritage of this seaside resort.

Embracing Nature's Beauty

Nishiizu is known for its spectacular nature and is particularly renowned for its breathtaking sunsets. It has been recognized as among the Best 100 Sunsets in Japan, with stunning views from spots like Dogashima and Sanshirō Island captivating countless visitors. Additionally, the Izu Peninsula was designated a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2018, highlighting its significant geological value and unique natural landscapes. Visitors can also witness the fascinating 'tombolo phenomenon' during low tide around Sanshirō Island, creating a mystical sight that draws comparisons to France's Mont-Saint-Michel.

Crafting Memorable Experiences

The grandeur of nature, changing seasonal views of the sea and sky, and refreshing air—these elements combine to offer a uniquely memorable experience anchored in Nishiizu’s natural beauty and cultural essence. As part of its mission, Onko Chishin aims to connect guests with meaningful encounters during their stay, creating unforgettable memories.

' il azzurri' will soon be the second facility that Onko Chishin operates in Shizuoka, following the recently renovated 'Izu Retreat Atagawa Suikou by Onko Chishin', which opened on November 1, 2025. Further details on future operational strategies and new initiatives will be provided as they become available.
