The luxurious Akazawa Day Spa, majestically overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, has undergone significant renovations and will officially reopen on December 24, 2025. The revamped space now includes a breathtaking open-air bath and is complemented by a new lounge and a warming bath, providing visitors with a wonderfully relaxing environment.
The signature outdoor bath, renowned for its views of the Pacific, remains unchanged. Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty where the sky and sea seem to merge with the hot spring water. This unique infinity design delivers an extraordinary experience that is hard to find elsewhere.
In addition to the exquisite baths, guests can indulge in a traditional Thai massage or savor fresh seafood in the on-site restaurant, Yura. This establishment serves a selection of dishes highlighting local ingredients, allowing patrons to enjoy both luxury and comfort.
As part of the renovation, the second floor has been transformed into the 'Umi no Nekorobi Lounge'. This new relaxation area features thematic zones inspired by ‘forest’ and ‘sea’, all designed to create a cozy, immersive environment. The interior design combines soft lighting with comfortable furnishings, inviting patrons to unwind after their bath.
Furthermore, a new ‘warming bath’ area has been added in the basement, maintaining a gentle temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius for a soothing experience. Also relocated to the lower level is the traditional Thai massage service, now featuring a unique offering where treatments are provided on hammocks, giving an even deeper relaxation experience.
Dining at the Yura restaurant allows guests to enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean while delighting in dishes crafted with seasonal freshness, including rice bowls, noodle dishes, and a variety of contemporary recipes. Each meal is prepared with care to highlight the natural flavors of local cuisine.
With facilities expanding to over 250,000 square meters, Akazawa Onsen-kyo encompasses a range of amenities including traditional hotels and recreational outlets. It serves as a comprehensive resort filled with options for families, couples, and international travelers looking for a seaside getaway.
Anticipated for spring 2026, Akazawa Onsen-kyo is set to evolve into a new resort space offering a blend of leisure and relaxation with even more immersive experiences for visitors. The new resort will enhance existing attractions and provide guests with ample opportunities to unwind and rejuvenate their minds and bodies.
