Properties with Onsen in Shima

It's basically a Michelin restaurant disguised as a hotel. So every single meal was a revelation. All staff were on top of their game. Never we've experienced such dedication and attention to detail as in here.

Gorgeous views and kind, lovely staff…food was delicious too

The view of Ago Bay was quite nice. We booked a larger room for the comfort and that part was OK. The shuttle service to and from the Kintetsu Kashikojima station was very much appreciated.

The hotel is located in the beautifully well maintained national park with golf course, sunset beach, yoga terrace etc. The hot spring spa, friendly staff, lots of marine sports activities, spacious and clean room, delicious Japanese breakfast. Nice amenities and they even provided bug spray etc., in the room

Great location, peaceful surroundings

I really like this place. The female owner has an inquisitive mind, a warm personality, and a kind heart. Her English is good enough to communicate and ask for help. The sauna and the private onsen in the room are top-notch. I did not check the public onsen with natural hot spring, but heard it's amazing too. I booked the 5th floor with an ocean view, and the private onsen experience during starry night and the set rise were indeed amazing! The hotel itself is located in a remote little cute fish town called osatsucho, where you can find fishmen and women harvesting and selling the Ise lobsters in the morning by the port. It was a very unique and interesting experience to stay in that little town for two days during the winter when it was not crowded at all. The nearest convenience store is 10 + miles away. It was a very natural, grounding, even retreat-like experience to me, and it was drastically different from my experience in Tokyo, Nayoga, or Osaka. I did spot a few demolished houses with broken windows in the town, not sure if it's because of COVID or during the winter when there were fewer tourists. The big plus is the Shinmei shrine next door to the hotel, which is a very calming and spiritual place to visit and stay for a bit too.
