Ryokans in Shimoda

"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The property is older, but very clean and well maintained. Their staff including shuttle bus driver, all provide excellent customer service. The location is about 15 minute walk from Kawazu station, but be cautious with Google map! Google direction was inaccurate leading us towards the beach cliff! The hotel actually provides free shuttle to and from the train station, until 8:30pm. As for meals, hotel breakfast is very good, as well as their lunch & dinner on site (Japanese & French)."

"Great view!"

"It’s a lovely hotel on a beautiful beach. The breakfast buffet is very delicious and the ocean view from the onsen was magnificent. The staff is incredibly friendly."

"The customer service from the staff was the best part of the hotel- they were more than attentive and polite. The ocean views are wonderful and the complimentary massage chairs were relaxing."

"Wonderful stay, beautiful facilities and rooms and extremely helpful staff! A big thank you to Risa for making our family feel at home! "

"The hot springs were really good. The hotel itself seemed a little dated. The restaurant was only available if you reserved in advance. The other restaurant/bar was closed. "

"A very quiet place, perhaps the season, walkable distance to train station. The ride along the coast was enjoyable. I had the best Japanese breakfast there overlooking the sea! Well arranged, excellent taste. A great sushi place across at the wharf at the end of the building and also great seafood to be had in town. "

"This is a great value property close to Shimoda and the railway station. All rooms are slightly different in layout and are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. I booked a room with a shower for both my stays. Windows are double glazed making the rooms very quiet. There are two private onsen for the use of the guests, which are wonderful. There is no lift and my room was on the third floor. The staff spoke some English and were always very helpful. The bicycles they have for hire are excellent. I thoroughly recommend this property for vale, lactation and the facilities offered, including a small cafe and an excellent library."

"The property is a delight. The manager, speaks excellent English, and his wife were both so friendly and helpful. The property is in a quiet location near beautiful Sotorua Beach. It is so calm and relaxing. Shimoda is a short bus or taxi ride away or a 30 minute work. There is only one restaurant within easy walking distance and it is excellent. Suggest upgrading to a room with a private outdoor bathroom. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay."
