Shizuka Ryokan and Day Spa Retreat

Shizuka Ryokan and Day Spa Retreat Information

Leave your shoes and your cares at the door and step inside the world of traditional Japanese style hospitality.

Inspired by Japan's ancient ryokan inns, which provided a haven for weary travelers, Shizuka Ryokan offers those on life's journey a place for renewal of mind, body and spirit.

Our traditional Japanese style accommodation, fine Japanese cuisine and extensive range of spa and wellness treatments combine to create the ultimate in relaxation and indulgence.

Finalist for the 2009 Victorian Tourism Award and winner of the 2008 and 2009 Hepburn Regional Tourism Awards, Australia's renowned Japanese guesthouse is an indulgent retreat featuring traditional accommodation, delicious cuisine, luxurious spa treats as well as holistic wellness and health treatments.

Set amid tranquil bushland in central Victoria's picturesque "spa country", Shizuka Ryokan is fully authentic in every detail including its architecture, furnishings and gardens.

More important however is the genuine and warm hospitality of the Japanese and local hosts, offering generous and personalised service including the signature four-course dinner which may be served individually to guestrooms.

Whilst highly traditional, Shizuka Ryokan also caters for common creature comforts which are provided in a truly stylish environment.

Couples, singles and small groups come to the inn to relax, indulge, rejuvenate and immerse in the romance and tranquillity. Shizuka Ryokan is also a unique venue for small community and corporate groups to conduct retreats, workshops and meetings.

Located in Hepburn Springs near Daylesford, it's a small piece of Japan that's close to home - just a 75 minute drive from Melbourne.

For Aussies, that's much more accessible than the long flight to Kyoto.
