Located in Hepburn Springs near Daylesford, it's a small piece of Japan less than a 90 minute drive from Melbourne.

Australia's renowned Japanese guesthouse, the award-winning Shizuka Ryokan is an indulgent retreat featuring traditional accommodation, delicious cuisine and luxurious spa 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 served individually to guestrooms.
