Hostel Knot
Hostel Knot is a cozy guesthouse located in the heart of Shuzenji Onsen, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Just a 5-minute walk to historic Shuzenji Temple and Bamboo Grove Path, and only 10 minutes to the Shuzenji Bus stop, it’s a perfect base for exploring the Izu Peninsula. Our hostel is ideal for short visits and also highly recommended for long-term stays or remote work. Surrounded by charming local cafés, restaurants, and public hot springs, it’s a great spot for those who love slow travel, nature, and local culture. Direct bus routes to West, South, and East Izu make it a convenient hub for multi-day Izu adventures.

Located in Shuzenji, a peaceful town known for its natural beauty and rich culture, our hostel offers more than just a place to stay.

Whether you're here for a short trip or an extended stay, we hope you’ll relax, unwind, and enjoy the serendipitous encounters that travel brings.
Hostel Knot is just a short walk from Shuzenji Temple, Bamboo Grove Path, Tokko-no-Yu, and Hako-yu public bath. A 10/15-minute walk to the nearest convenience store (7-Eleven and Family Mart) and surrounded by popular local eateries, soba shops, izakaya, and cafés. Shuzenji Station is also just 10 minutes away by bus and 40 minutes away on foot, providing easy access to West Izu (Dogashima), South Izu (Shimoda), and East Izu (Ito).
