She wanted a proper ryokan experience, so after some searching, we found one that felt right—well-kept, understated, and quietly confident.
We arrived just before 5pm and were met at the car park by a gentleman who greeted us by name and carried our luggage in. Inside, we were welcomed by Na (I hope I got that right), who walked us through everything—the onsen, breakfast, the rhythm of the place—before leading us to our room.
The ryokan has been around for close to a century, and you can feel it. Not in a grand or showy way, but in the stillness. Standing by the window, looking down at the pond—ducks drifting across, carp circling slowly—it was almost too quiet, the kind that makes you pause without realising.
We headed out briefly that evening to explore the small town and grab dinner, but came back early. The onsen drew us in—hot water against the cool night air—and by the time we laid out the futons, everyone was ready to sink in. Soft, simple, and unexpectedly comfortable.
Morning came gently—birds in the background, ducks already awake. At breakfast, our family name was waiting for us, and the spread was generous without being excessive. We ate more than we should have.
By 10am, we were packing up again. All the staff was there to send us off.

Although it was quite far from the dining place and the large communal bath in a remote room, I was able to enjoy the summer Obon holiday by freely using the cart. I was impressed by the many stars in the night sky.
The bath was also good and I was able to go home with beautiful skin. The landlady came to greet me at the time of meal and asked me to change the rice. Thank you very much.
It is a place I want to go again.

Guest UserThe hotel I was most looking forward to and the one that surprised me the most during my trip to Japan! I saw the reviews saying that the food was good, and I wanted to try it, so I booked it in advance.
When we arrived at the hotel, someone came to greet us and helped us with our luggage. We checked in and arranged for dinner. At first, I thought we would eat in the room, but I didn’t expect to eat in the restaurant, but it didn’t matter. The restaurant is a private room. When we arrived, the appetizers were already placed, and then someone came to serve us. I ate one dish after another until I was full. It’s too much! Who said that Japanese people eat less! And it’s really cost-effective, and the taste is also very good. It’s been 2 hours since we finished eating.
The breakfast is also very rich, and the grilled fish is also delicious. It’s still very good to experience Japanese breakfast!
We booked a tatami room. I thought I had to make the bed myself, but they helped me make it after dinner. The service was really thoughtful. However, I have to complain that the hot water in the bathroom was not hot enough. I just took a shower and went upstairs to take a hot spring bath (the public bathing water in the hot spring is better, and everyone can go upstairs to take a shower). I personally recommend everyone to take an open-air hot spring bath. It is really easy to lack oxygen in the indoor one. It is so comfortable to stare at the sea view in the morning! I will stay in this hotel again if I have the chance! ! ! Finally, the hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off service. The timetable for going to the hotel is in the afternoon, and the time for going to Shimoda Station is in the morning. It seems that you need to make an appointment in advance, but it is still very convenient.

Liza TokitaAmazing place to stay,aesthetic view and a great amazing dinner and breakfast ambience.
I choose and booked the private villa with pool and which is good,I enjoyed the dinner foods they served us,so classy and elegant presentation.
So I ordered the bottle of botega champagne which is fit for the foods they offered.
Lovely it was and amazing wonderful evening.
After we had a night pool with my partner and we bring our own foods and drinks champagne for the long night to celebrate our stay.
I’m very satisfied for my stay at this place.
Staff was really nice and good at their service.

The overall environment is nice, with a sea view. However, since it's off-season, some bar singers aren't working. Driving here is a good option, but taking the bus is inconvenient, with buses running every hour. I didn't realize when booking that the room was for one person only. When checking out, because we were two people, the hotel asked me to pay an additional 800 RMB. They didn't mention the extra fee at check-in... The service experience wasn't very good. I certainly didn't notice this small detail, so please be aware of it when booking.

J_JeffNice hotel on the waterfront in the cute little town of Shimoda. Room was large and comfortable with a great view of the sea. Onsen was nice too. A couple of restaurants right beside the hotel which is convenient and about 20 minutes walk to the main town area.

The key to the room was wobbly, and I couldn't open it unless I did it well. The moment I opened the room, I was a little worried about the smell, but there was a reset in each room and it was okay. I don't recommend it for cleanliness, but the food was delicious with a wide variety of foods. If you enter the pool in the morning, it is OK, but in the evening it will be a little dirty. The sauna temperature setting was low.
I complained a lot, but the meal was really satisfying

お盆に宿泊したので一泊4万円近くしましたが部屋はとても清潔感があり、家族風呂も無料で使えるのがいいです。
素泊まりだったのでご飯は分かりませんが夜12時になるとホテルから出られなくなります。
2万円くらいで泊まれるならいいホテルだと思います。

The hotel seems a bit out of the way in terms of location. It's a few minutes' walk from Shimoda Station. The room is not small. There is a hot spring but no wifi. Overall, it's okay. The transportation is pretty convenient and the price/performance ratio is good.
