Family hotels and homes in Shimoda

The location was excellent! The onsen nice and the staff were brilliant, especially Mr Goldfinger who greeted us at the door and went far and beyond to make our stay great!

The Ocean front view and the hotspring were fantastic and unforgettable. Waking up with the peaceful view of sunrise over the ocean through the bedroom window was the BEST! The Breakfast was to die for, so many options and everything was delicious, including fresh fruits & salad. Can’t beat the experience and value. Wish we had more time to enjoy the Resort and beautiful private beach! Staff was most helpful and courteous!

Staff are kind and facilities are clean. Also, location was good and breakfast served was tasty. Definitely recommend.

Very inexpensive, especially when you consider all-you-can-eat breakfast and dinner. The food is very good and there’s a wide assortment of choices. A nice rotemburo. There’s a game center, although I didn’t use it. Also, free bikes to use. The room is spacious. A good location, about a 10 min. walk from the train and bus station.

Location, style, cleanliness, people

The staff were so kind and understanding with our lack of Japanese language. They really made an effort to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. It is a special location with a beautiful ocean view and the hot bath on the terrace was really relaxing.

Best guesthouse I’ve ever stayed at! Yuki, his family and the staff were amazing. 10/10.

Great location with direct beach access to Tatodhama Beach. The area is very quiet and there is not much around but it's beautiful and quiet and relaxing. The hotel provides regular shuttles in both the morning and the afternoon into Shimoda City which only takes a few minutes, it's approx 30 min walk to Perry Rd or 45 mins to the train station. Or 1400 Yen in a taxi one way to the train station. Kaiseki dinner was amazing! There was so much food and great to try so many different dishes we wouldn't have tried otherwise. Breakfast again was lovely with a lot of food. rooms are clean and spacious. Staying at a Ryokan was a new experience for us so it was lovely to go to dinner and come back to our beds made up ready for the night and then head out for the day and return to the bed magically packed away and the room looking beautiful. Added bonus was the hotel onsen which we made sure to use each day, with various bath options inside and outside and with a lovely view of the ocean. Shimoda Yamatoken played a big part in us falling in love with the area.

Beautiful beach in walking distance, beautiful natural surroundings over all, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and interior of the guesthouse. The area, Izu Peninsula is beautiful and relaxing.

Warm place, hosts are really nice, we love this place

It was a 5-10 min walk to the beach. the view from the infinity pool was spectacular same with the two open air baths which can use for free. The rooms are all clean, the fact that they dont let you wear your outside shoes inside the hotel was a plus for me even if its a little inconvenience when you need to go out real quick. The staff were all awesome.

Everything. The owners were so kind and thoughtful, walking us through the checkin process and tour. They made us feel so at home. The room was amazing, we had Japanese style with tatami mats and slept on futons. I highly recommend staying in one of these rooms instead of the regular beds. You don’t have your private bathroom, but they’re right outside your door and the bath is lovely. Yukatas were also provided so we enjoyed the full experience. Lovely location. You do walk up a hill from the bus, but it’s worth the climb. Amazing views. Shirahama beach is beautiful, and there is a nice cafe/shop down the road where you can eat until 7pm. There’s also a seven eleven at the base of the hill. So beautiful, so much care, and it was like we had a nice home stay. Will be back.

The facility is very near the Shirahama beach, literally just 5mins by foot. It has a very spacious parking lot and no need to ask for advance reservation. The place is so clean and has all you need.

The facility is little old, but very clean and the staff is very attentive and considerate.. we will definitely go back.. its like youre staying at the house of a japanese family back then. The toilet is old style but no problem at all.. the water is clean the bed sheets and bath is clean the kitchen stuffs also..

The beach front, very large, 24 hours Sauna looking at the ocean

We will be back! WOW. This was a shot in the dark booking since I couldn’t find a place near the beach that was tattoo friendly. We were blown away at the facility, amenities and overall beauty of the location. I booked 3 rooms. Everyone had their own private onsen bath. My husband and I upgraded to the sauna barrel room and we LOVED IT. The guys all did sauna in the morning. They even give you handmade authentic sauna hats. Breakfast was simple but filling. Half of the group did the Japanese style, half did American. My jumbo toast made me feel like I was in a Ghibli movie having breakfast. There is a vending machine in the breakfast area was a variety of snacks and drinks. Our van made it on the roads to the property. So a standard vehicle will have no issue. Beautiful creak flowing in the backyard of every room. Every room has an entrance, toilet & sink room, living room (doubles as bedroom bc you have tatami beds), vanity sink & rack, THEN sliding door to your shower & bath, THEN sliding door to your porch with seating. Our room had the barrel immediately to the left of the porch with ANOTHER outdoor tub. Price was excellent!!

Amazing and beautiful property, without a doubt I am staying here again. The staff are so generous and accommodating and the property is beautiful and conveniently located

The design and decor of the room and the location of the hotel

Clean beautiful good dinner polite staff

The location was great, situated in a nice area. We had no trouble accessing the place, and it was conveniently close to the beach and a supermarket.

It was fancy, staff were nice, there was a lot of activities inside the hotel as well as the Black Ship, restaurant, and walking area outside of the hotel.

The breakfast was delicious, and had a great variety of options. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel was beautiful, and the décor was modern and stylish. We had a great stay and would stay here again.

The location, the house itself and the kindness of the host

It's amazing! Rooms are very clean, with everything you need for beautiful days at the beach. Breakfast was really good, we also had an amazing pizza night! The pizzas were very tasty! Good people, good place we loved!

Clean, well-designed, top-tier hotel.

The room accommodated our family of 5, and the hotel breakfast is one of the best I’ve ever had. The onsen was wonderful.
