"Large room with private bath/shower on deck. Two-minute walk to the calm beach which was calm enough for our young daughter to play safely on the beach and water. Highly recommend this establishment and we would definitely stay here again. "
"Friendly, helpful staff. Great room with lovely water views, amazing Onsen, lovely Japanese breakfast served by enthusiastic staff. Great place to stay and excellant value!"
"The traditional Japanese hotel is so spacious that it surprises us the minute we walked in. It has a full living area, a bedroom and a long patio that provides excellent view to the back yard. It has a private indoor hot spring tub and a private outdoor onsen. The back yard lead to hotel garden area which has all kinds of beautiful flowers and plan. Mountain is just next to the backyard. The ambience was excellent. A simple traditional Japanese breakfast was provided for free a request."
"Mixed feelings on this guest house - it was lovely decorated and recently renovated by the owner, who was lovely and super friendly & helpful. Had offered affordable breakfast (500 yen/ person in May 2025) and plenty of shared area spaces - with ability to use glasses / cups / kettle / microwave. Unfortunately I didn’t see during booking that toilet and bathroom are shared for all guests (4-6 rooms, not sure exactly) but luckily we went to bed early and wake up late, so avoided the natural...
"Was a amazing secluded stay with a amazing view!
Was a small quiet town with amazing food at the hotel and at a quiet family restaurant down the road. Would definitely come here again for some nice down time for a vacation was one of our most relaxing stays in Japan! "

"Lovely staff, good breakfast. Pool wasn’t open the beginning of July as we hoped but we could still enjoy the pool deck and the beach and ocean were close by and refreshing to swim in."
"Phenomenal, phenomenal! This was extremely comfortable, wonderful staff, lovely room with a great view of the bay. We saw the fireworks for the Black Ship Festival. The balcony onsen was extremely private and comfortable. Would highly recommend that this be your number one choice of hotel if you are in Shimoda."
