Shimoda Yamatokan

The hotel I was most looking forward to and the one that surprised me the most during my trip to Japan! I saw the reviews saying that the food was good, and I wanted to try it, so I booked it in advance. When we arrived at the hotel, someone came to greet us and helped us with our luggage. We checked in and arranged for dinner. At first, I thought we would eat in the room, but I didn’t expect to eat in the restaurant, but it didn’t matter. The restaurant is a private room. When we arrived, the appetizers were already placed, and then someone came to serve us. I ate one dish after another until I was full. It’s too much! Who said that Japanese people eat less! And it’s really cost-effective, and the taste is also very good. It’s been 2 hours since we finished eating. The breakfast is also very rich, and the grilled fish is also delicious. It’s still very good to experience Japanese breakfast! We booked a tatami room. I thought I had to make the bed myself, but they helped me make it after dinner. The service was really thoughtful. However, I have to complain that the hot water in the bathroom was not hot enough. I just took a shower and went upstairs to take a hot spring bath (the public bathing water in the hot spring is better, and everyone can go upstairs to take a shower). I personally recommend everyone to take an open-air hot spring bath. It is really easy to lack oxygen in the indoor one. It is so comfortable to stare at the sea view in the morning! I will stay in this hotel again if I have the chance! ! ! Finally, the hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off service. The timetable for going to the hotel is in the afternoon, and the time for going to Shimoda Station is in the morning. It seems that you need to make an appointment in advance, but it is still very convenient.

The hotel is right by the sea, and many people come here to surf. Although there are not many shops around, there is a shuttle bus to and from the station every half an hour. The service staff are very polite and smiling. It can be seen that it is an older hotel, but it is carefully maintained. Less than 600 per person per day, including two good meals, there is a hot spring, and the cost performance is very high.

All services are above 5 stars, and the price of two meals per stay is even more expensive. There are lobsters and abalone, which is really unexpected. There is also an outdoor swimming pool. I will definitely book this hotel again next time I go there.

The service was attentive and the breakfast and dinner were very good. 24-hour independent hot spring ♨️.

Almost perfect. Except for the facilities being a little old, especially the bathroom, but with the beach one minute away + the large room + the amazing service experience, I will go back again. The first floor feels damp when passing by, so the upper floors are better. Don't miss the trail to the open-air hot spring on the top of the mountain. If you bring children, you must go to the sea aquarium. The taxi costs 1500 yen.

I used the hot springs several times, ate a lot, and rested comfortably!!
