"Booked the Japanese style room with toilet. Shower room has to be shared on the 2nd floor. Room has no amenities at all. Basic hair dryer and hot flask are in the communal area. We had to set up the bed ourselves. Room was dusty and was freezing cold even tho there was heater from the air con on winter’s night. There’s instructions to learn how to kill the stink bugs. The hotel facilities are good but the overall experience wasn’t good."

"With our children getting older, family trips have become more difficult. However, we were looking for a relaxing, soothing hot spring resort, so we took the Kusatsu Express and bus to Shima Onsen. A short walk from the bus stop, we found the inn, exactly as depicted on its website. We enjoyed a relaxing soak in the outdoor bath attached to our room, listening to the sounds of the river, and enjoying the elegant atmosphere. The children ate their generous portions of dinner, and we were so satisfied we went to sleep. The service plan was well-organized, and the staff were very accommodating, arriving early and helping us with luggage storage. Both the hotel and the rooms were very clean and well-maintained. The dining area was decorated like a sunken kotatsu, and I was impressed by the thoughtfulness of the facility. The private baths offered included two types of luxurious baths, including a rock bath and two with close-up views of the river."

"Although it is a traditional hotel, the overall hotel facilities are still old. The hot spring water quality is OK, but the sanitary environment is old and probably has not been renovated. The hotel needs to go up a big slope, and it is not very convenient to carry luggage. It is better to stay at the 40,000 grand hotel at the bottom of the slope. It is more cost-effective to buy a pass to come to this hotel."

"The service staff are very kind. Almost every service staff has a smile on their face. The house is very clean and large. They also thoughtfully prepared ice water in the room and a family-style bath. The space is large and very clean. Especially the hotel's supply. The breakfast and dinner were really delicious. Thank you Jiayuan for giving our family a wonderful travel memory."

"I stayed in a five-star special room at Kashotei. The room was wonderful, with a cypress bath. It was quite spacious, with a bedroom, living room, and Japanese-style room. You were free to use whatever was in the refrigerator. The food was delicious, and the hot springs were wonderful. The service was also good (although some people complain that I'm not Japanese or that my Japanese isn't great, but I don't mind). The hotel is made up of Kashotei, the mountain lodge, and the main building, and is like a maze, so it's fun to explore. It's a wonderful inn."

"The hotel is located in the middle of residential areas and there is no parking space, which is very inconvenient for us who are traveling by car. We need to park our luggage in front of the door and then park the car in a free parking lot nearby. The hotel has only two floors and no elevator, so the luggage needs to be carried up by the staff. There is no toilet in the room, and you need to walk through the corridor to use the public toilet, which is very inconvenient for those who need to use the toilet at night. Of course, you have to go to the bathhouse to take a shower. The lady at the desk was very nice and friendly. Both breakfast and dinner are Japanese kaiseki cuisine, which is pretty good."

"The other day, we stayed for 2 nights with 2 people (17,000 yen per person per night, total 68,000 yen). In conclusion, there was a serious problem that cannot be overlooked as an accommodation in terms of hygiene and safety management, and I checked out for only one night. Only the facts are listed. 1. ⁠ ⁠ Room Cleaning Inadequate and Dust As soon as I entered the room, there was a large amount of dust at a visually checkable level everywhere, such as the corners of the floor, the table, the remote control, and the side of the massage chair. Especially, the exhaust port of the air conditioner was packed with dust, and there were multiple spider webs in the corners of the ceiling. During my stay, I often coughed because of the dust, and I felt painful. 2. ⁠ ⁠ Corruption of equipment and mold The open-air bath with a room was in a dangerous state because the wooden frame that could be lowered was damaged. In addition, the rust and discoloration of the handrail were also conspicuous. White cotton-shaped mold was also attached to the shoji screen of the private bath, and there was a spider web on the light. 3. ⁠ ⁠ Water Quality of Hot Springs After entering the indoor bath in the large communal bath, rashes and itching occurred on my legs. I have never had such symptoms in hot springs. Also, the open-air bath was pitch black without lighting and I couldn't see my feet, so I was injured in the rock. The hot water was cold and I couldn't warm it. 4. ⁠ ⁠ Response to the inn The next morning, I told the owner directly about the room situation on the extension and asked for the site confirmation, but only the employees were there, and there was no direct apology or explanation from the owner. We received a refund for the second night of unaccommodated accommodation. It was a very disappointing stay, far from the sanitary environment that is worth the price range of tens of thousands of yen per night. We hope this review will be helpful to other guests. Photos are attached."

Shima Yamaguchikan ★★★
"This was my first experience with a semi-open-air onsen in Japan, and it had a wonderful nostalgic charm. The environment was peaceful and comfortable, with the inn surrounded by a forest. I was fine with a few small insects passing by. The Kaiseki dinner had a great variety of ingredients. They also had staff who spoke English, which was a big plus! It's definitely best if you're driving. I would go again!"

Shima Onsen Tsuruya ★★★★
"This time I stayed in the "Hana" room. It was an absolutely wonderful room. However, when I went to sleep, the hot spring water in my room kept running, and the sound was bothersome, so I had to wear earplugs to sleep. That was the only thing that bothered me. However, the private bath was particularly good. The presentation was also wonderful! I would definitely like to go again!"

"Toshimaya is really great! The overall experience is super good! I chose a room with a stream next to it. It was really comfortable to soak in the hot spring and listen to the sound of the stream. The service is super good and it is very clean. The breakfast was delicious! Will come back again!"

"For me, free-flowing baths are important, so this is an inn I've always wanted to stay at in Shima Onsen, which has a lot of hot water. The baths were free-flowing, and the hot springs were great. The baths that are switched for men and women were very warm when I went in, which was disappointing, but my husband said it was just right when he went in. The corridors and facilities feel old, but the room wasn't that bad. We stayed at Suiyokukan, so the baths were a long way away, and it was a bit of a hassle to change elevators. If you're staying at Mokuyokukan, it seems like it would be more convenient to go to the baths. There was no information on parking or how to get to the room, so considering the price, I think the hospitality could be a little better."

"Lovely hotel in a quiet little town. We stayed at the Sanso building, in the Corner Room Japanese Western Special Room (Moegiichi). The room was impeccable, with a private bath, a king sized bad, a deck and a small garden framed by pine and maple trees. Everyone was unfailingly polite, as per Japanese standards. If you have more than 2 in the room, the futon gets laid out while you are away at dinner. Top stars to the futon, they use high quality Tempur mattresses that are so wonderful to sleep on. Food was lovely and painstakingly plated. If you are a Miyazaki fan, it’s easy to see inspirations dotted around the hotel and the town. I came in December and many shops in town were not open, they looked shuttered for good. There are a few food options but not extensive. A few parts of the hotel were dated; mainly the red carpets linking the various buildings. They looked like a deep cleaning or a change was in order."

"The heating was broken in the snowy mountains, which was horrible. I contacted the front desk and got two heaters, which were barely enough. The facilities were old, the large bath was old and small, which was a bit disappointing, and the dinner was mediocre."
