“Out of the way, but an excellent five star hotel”

This hotel is out of the way, it is not covered on the JR Pass and there are not huge cities nearby. In fact, for most foreigners I can’t think of a compelling reason why they would think about Shima, but if you come you won’t be disappointed.

This hotel is out of the way, it is not covered on the JR Pass and there are not huge cities nearby. In fact, for most foreigners I can’t think of a compelling reason why they would think about Shima, but if you come you won’t be disappointed. First a warning: this is a good place to really unwind, relax, look at the sea, go to Marineland (interesting acqurium nearby) hit up the local Onsen, etc. There is not a ton to do in the immediate walkable vicinity that I found. Now the hotel - the hotel, and whole town for that matter, were PUMPED to have the G7 a few years ago. The hotel has numerous plaques and photos to the event. The amusing thing is it is like the hotel forgot the G7 was in 2016, and thus the service is world class, as though a president might walk out of a room at any moment. It really is an amazing hotel. Why should such an out of the way hotel have such good English speakers? No idea, but it was fantastic. Why was everyone, every single one, of the staff so kind and courteous? No idea, but wow. Stayed in many five-stars in Japan, but this was the best service. Definitely get a package with at least breakfast. The food was fabulous. The rooms were divine and very peaceful. This has become super long, but I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. If you’re not from Japan you’ll likely be the only foreigner there, which can be a nice change from packed Kyoto. Why is such a world class hotel so far out? No idea, but I’ll take it.

Nous avons passé une nuit à l'hôtel. Notre suite était spacieuse, propre et confortable. La chambre dispose d'un design moderne et une décoration remarquable qui est impressionnant. Nous avons été un peu déçus de constater que l'hôtel en gros a aucune installation à tous ! Il n'y a pas de piscine et un spa soi-disant de seulement la taille de 3 baignoires pour utilisation par les clients de l'hôtel. Nous nous sommes sentis coincés dans l'hôtel! Il n'y avait pas de restaurants à proximité. Nous avons dîné au restaurant japonais et la qualité de la nourriture était moyen. Le homard sashimi et fris vraiment délicieux pour abalone étaient acceptables, mais le sushi était loin en dessous de ma nos attentes!
