Shima Hot Springs Hotels

Although the hotel has a history of decades, it has been newly renovated and the facilities are very new. Now run by a couple, dinner and breakfast are great and worth recommending. The rooms are all facing the sea and you can watch the sunrise in the room in the morning. The windows of the room are very soundproof, so don't worry about the sound of the waves affecting sleep. Although the hot spring is not big, the open-air hot spring is also facing the sea and the scenery is great!

I have two feelings about this stay. 1. The photo posted by this website was a lie - the room was very different to the reality. For a start there was no in room onsen and that had been a major factor in me making this booking. I was really disappointed on arrival. 2. However it has to be said the staff are fabulous, the food excellent and everything about the place shows a tremendous attention to detail. After a lovely long soak in the Onsen available to guests and a fabulous dinner my mood was quite recovered. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for someone looking for a luxurious retreat and plan to return myself.

Transportation: Take the Shimakaze train to Kashikojima, which takes about two and a half hours. Contact the hotel in advance for a pick-up from Kashikojima station. The hotel does not provide airport pick-up, but can arrange car hire for guests. Transportation is very inconvenient. Facilities: The facilities are very good. The interior styles of the three Aman hotels in Japan are very similar, and the rooms and public areas are well-maintained. Service: The service is very good. Food: Due to the hotel's remote location, there are no restaurants nearby, so all meals were eaten at the hotel. The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good (I thought it wouldn't be good). Dinner reservations must be made in advance, as the hotel is fully booked on holidays, and the restaurant's dinner slots are also fully booked. You either have to wait until 8:30 pm or eat at the bar. If you choose to eat dinner at the bar, you won't be able to get shabu-shabu. The lunch menu is different; it's a simple meal, but acceptable. The first set meal was a regular set meal, which included a beef dish with a green sauce that was super delicious; I used it to mix with rice. The second set meal included shabu-shabu, with options for Ise lobster, Matsusaka beef, and local beef; I chose the local beef. The reddish-brown sauce in the shabu-shabu was absolutely delicious. Activities: Chinese-speaking guides can be requested for tours of Ise. The hotel didn't email us in advance to inform us about activities or inquire about arrangements. Many activities were unavailable upon check-in. Summary: Aside from the inconvenient transportation and the lack of advance email communication about activities during my stay, everything was fine.

The hotel is on the island of Dokano, drive to the dock parking lot, and then carry luggage on the boat. It is inconvenient to encounter heavy rain when you check in, but the hotel hot springs and food quality are not wrong.

The hotel staff's service from check-in to check-out was excellent. The food was neither particularly good nor bad, perhaps because I had too high expectations. The ingredients were high-quality, but the dishes themselves were average. The drinks were quite expensive. Both soft drinks and alcoholic beverages cost around 1000 yen per glass. The room and the hot springs were fantastic.

The room is large, the environment is quiet and beautiful, the service is very enthusiastic, breakfast Japanese + French food, exquisite dishes, excellent taste. It was a good experience.

For the summer vacation, the hotel is located on the mountainside of the mountain. It is a village transformation. Only one of our foreigners is a local, very small place. At that time, due to the rain and the schedule was slightly late, the hotel was already 8:30 in the evening, the hotel dinner was until 7:30, Ctrip's customer service contacted the hotel in advance to help us stay for dinner, thank you very much, the key is to eat very well. Although not many, it is delicious, especially desserts!

The check-in was at night, so the road just in front of the hotel was a little scary, but it was a road that was not scary at all when I went to the bright time the next morning. It was easy to go because the public bath was right after getting off the elevator. This time I stayed without meals, but next time I wanted to stay with meals.

We stayed with a total of 4 people with 3 adult friends and 1 4 year old child. The pool was available until 18:00 on the same day and 10:00 the next day 〜 14:00 at an additional fee, and there was a jet relaxing corner in the indoor heated pool and it was quite refreshing. The hot springs after that were free and fun.

I think it was better than it was written in the word of mouth. I took my pet, so I stayed here where my pet could stay with me. There was no particular smell, and I think the dog and we were able to slow down very much. The dinner was rich in quantity and number of items and was very satisfied. I wanted to come again if I had the opportunity. Thank you.
