Best Hotels in Shizuoka 2026

Where to stay in Shizuoka: neighbourhoods first, then the properties that earn their rates.

By Updated Reviewed by Daniel Mercer

The short answer: start with APA Hotel Shizuoka Ekikita, Hotel Associa Shizuoka Terminal and High Set Hotel Shizuoka Inter (formerly Ascent Plaza Hotel Shizuoka). This guide profiles 19+ hotels and places to stay in Shizuoka, with prices, timing, and the practical notes that decide whether each one earns a place in your plan.

Shizuoka Prefecture stretches along Japan's Pacific coast between Tokyo and Nagoya, framed by the southern slopes of Mount Fuji, the hot-spring resorts of the Izu Peninsula, and the deep waters of Suruga Bay. Home to Japan's largest green tea harvest, its top eel-producing city, and the closest classic views of Mount Fuji outside Yamanashi, Shizuoka pairs UNESCO World Heritage scenery with feudal-era castles and coastal onsen towns across 7,777 square kilometres of the Chubu region.

Our top picks

Handpicked recommendations for every type of traveler.

Booking tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

Tip

Book Atami and Izu Peninsula onsen ryokan 2-3 months ahead for weekends and the Golden Week (late April-early May) and Obon (mid-August) holiday periods, when Tokyo day-trippers fill the region

Tip

Business hotels near Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Mishima, and Numazu Shinkansen stations offer the best value for travelers using Shizuoka Prefecture as a transit base between Tokyo and Nagoya/Kyoto

Tip

Many Izu Peninsula ryokan include two meals (breakfast and kaiseki dinner) in the room rate; confirm meal plan (ichi-shoku-tsuki or ni-shoku-tsuki) when booking, as room-only rates are usually lower

Tip

Mishima and Numazu make cost-effective bases for visiting Mount Fuji's Fujinomiya side and the Izu Peninsula, with direct Tokaido Shinkansen or JR access and lower rates than Atami's waterfront

Tip

Fujinomiya-area ryokan and hotels book up around the Mount Fuji climbing season (early July to early September) and for New Year sunrise viewing; reserve mountain-view rooms well in advance
