ITJ BASE Shuzenji is a café and guesthouse renovated from a 48-year-old building, serving as a hub for outdoor tourism on the Izu Peninsula. As the first facility of the trail running race 'Izu Trail Journey (ITJ)' with the concept of 'Creating a New Izu Travel Experience,' it aims to become a base for outdoor sports and cycling trips in Shuzenji Onsen, the oldest hot spring area in Izu Peninsula. Of course, its location in the heart of Shuzenji Onsen is also ideal as a travel hub for visitors not using the facility for sports purposes.
