My stay at Shima Hantou in Shima City, Japan was a delightful experience. The location of the hotel is convenient, earning it a solid 4 out of 5 rating. Although it is a bit far from Ise City, it's easily accessible by car, with just a 1-hour journey.
The hotel's cleanliness also deserves a commendable 4 out of 5 rating. As a traditional Japanese hotel, the exterior has a charming appeal. While the interior design may not be the most modern, it is still well-maintained and clean.
One aspect that truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 rating for service.
In terms of facilities, the hotel offers a basic hot spring bath, which was a relaxing experience. However, it's worth noting that there is only one pool for bathing, and the absence of a cold water bath and sauna facilities somewhat limited the options. Therefore, I would rate the facilities as 4 out of 5.
Overall, I highly recommend Shima Hantou for a pleasant stay in Shima City. The location, cleanliness, and exceptional service make it a great choice for travelers seeking a traditional Japanese hotel experience.

It's a clean and nice hotel. However, the bathrobe-style loungewear is easy to come undone, and the knot hurts when you lie down, which is annoying. It's quite stressful for someone who has come from far away and is tired and finally arrives at the hotel. I look forward to the future.
The staff's service is polite and elegant, and the location is very close to the station, so I would like to use it again in the future.
Personally, I don't think it's necessary to serve customers with masks. I remember that the WHO also announced that masks are not effective for either coronavirus or influenza. Japan is the only country that is lagging behind in wearing masks, and it has become part of the etiquette at work, but it's scary to serve customers without seeing their faces.

Stayed here for five days, it is too beautiful to say, the boss and the proprietress are super good, the scenery is charming. That is, breakfast is fixed for one person every day, all the same, there is no choice, if you live for a long time, you will be tired of breakfast.
I travel here every year and stay here next time.

I can hear the sound of the next room.
There's an ion and a local supermarket nearby, and there's Daiso clothing foods, etc., and I think it's convenient.

I made a reservation because it was just cheaper for a business trip.
If you go nearby, the outer wall construction? Scaffolding & curtain? I was a little surprised.
huh? Is there such a guide? When. I think it's a long-term construction, so I think it's better to have a guide that you can understand at the time of booking.
The scenery is no problem because it is not to open the window and enjoy it. I'm sure there will be noise in the time zone.
I didn't care during my stay.
The staff responded politely when I left my luggage early on the day and when I checked in.
The facilities are quite old (the washbasin is cracked) but I think it is cleaned.
I can use it without any problems and I would like to ask again. Thank you for your help.

Beautiful location and amazing room with view (book a sea view room). Owner went out of his way to help and was quick to advise me of bad weather forecast and not to attempt mountain passes the next day. Really great breakfast and good public bath. Next door to a shrine with a 1,000 year old camphor tree. Only shame no dinner available and no restaurants close by so not ideal for walkers but if shop ahead then totally worth it. Again host is great.

Guest UserAnyway, for the price it was better than I expected. I was especially happy that I could park for free even though it was so close to the station. It may have been because it was a weekday, but it was quiet and I was able to relax. Can't you do something about the slippers?

Transportation: It is a few minutes walk from the station. The station, Kintetsu Department Store and shopping street are all together. It is recommended to stay.
Service: Excellent Japanese reception service.
Linen: The bedding is a bit scratchy on the skin, it is recommended to change it.

My mother and I stayed here together. The bed was small and the refrigerator in the room was tiny, but considering the location and price, we were very satisfied. The room was new and clean. We would definitely stay here again.
If you have trouble entering your reservation number or name when checking in, you can inquire by phone.

Very nice and welcoming owner. Good way very good and hotel a 3 star ryokan with private onsen, which we used alone in the evening. Cafes and nice shrine very short by. Also don’t miss the museum and story of the pearl diver women in that village! If you look for a small village at the coast, it is very natural and less touristic there!
