December at Aquaholic Iritahama

As December arrives, the busy atmosphere of summer gives way to a calmer, more peaceful side of Shimoda.
At Iritahama Beach, winter brings clear air, gentle sunshine, and a beautifully quiet shoreline — a perfect setting to slow down and truly relax.

This is a season for enjoying simple luxuries and meaningful moments.


■ Warmer Than Tokyo in December

Many guests are pleasantly surprised to learn that Shimoda is significantly warmer than Tokyo in December.
Thanks to the mild climate of the Izu Peninsula, daytime temperatures are comfortable, and on many days, you can enjoy being outdoors without heavy winter clothing.

A walk along the beach, coffee on the terrace, and fresh sea air — winter in Shimoda is refreshingly gentle.


■ Warm Your Body and Soul with Hot Springs

After a cool day by the sea, nothing feels better than soaking in one of Shimoda’s hot springs.
From open-air baths surrounded by nature to ocean-view onsen, winter is the perfect time to enjoy their deep, calming warmth.

Let the hot springs melt away the fatigue of the year and leave you feeling renewed.
