Town, Midaka 127 General Manager: Yoshiba Takahiko, Rooms: 45)

The “Sakura Kaiseki Plan” is a special bountiful presentation of early spring delicacies,

beginning with Sakura seabream*, from the surrounding sea prepared especially to coincide with

the arrival of the Kawazu Cherry Blossoms and their calling for the coming of spring and the end

of winter here in southern Izu. Revel in the special hospitality delivered by a traditional Japanese

Inn as you take in the view of the vast Imaihama coast and, of course, don’t forget our on site

natural hot spring and private outdoor bath.

*Sakura seabream is the name for especially flavorful seabream harvested in the early spring.

Due to the warm Izu climate and their early blooming characteristic, the Kawazu Sakura

(cherry blossoms) begin blooming in early February and reach full bloom in approximately one

month. The Kawazuzakura Festival will be held in Kawazu Town from February 10th (Wed.) to

March 10th (Thur.) in 2016. It is a splendid opportunity to enjoy the early spring together with

your family or friends.

Here at Imaiso we strive to align with AGORA’s vision for a “Collection of Beautiful Japan”, to

provide special hospitality in traditional Japanese Inn form, and to contribute to our local

community.
