Shima-Yokoyama Station × Highly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

We look forward to visiting here every year. Thank you for your consistently attentive service and hospitality. We always enjoy delicious meals, relax at our own pace, and leave fully satisfied every time. My son and I are looking forward to visiting again. Thank you very much.

I stayed for one night on March 29. I chose March because it was just before the spiny lobster fishing ban. This time I booked a luxurious spa Plan, so it was pricey, but it was absolutely worth the cost. The cuisine, spa, Onsen, Room Facilities, and service were all top-tier. As expected from HIRAMATSU, every dish was delicious. The dish made with the spiny lobster head felt a bit heavy for me, but everything else was perfect. The spiny lobster bisque at breakfast was outstanding. The bread and butter at both dinner and breakfast were also excellent. The spa was wonderful—comparable to the Mandarin Hotel’s spa. The Onsen and Room Facilities were also superb; there is nothing to complain about. Service from the manager, head chef, staff, and spa team was flawless. I’d like to return next year during abalone season. I recommend avoiding weekends at the end of March. That’s when F1 Japanese Grand Prix qualifying and the race are held at Suzuka, so Nagoya Station gets extremely crowded and nearby roads are heavily congested. On top of that, Ise Jingu Naiku Shrine was also packed due to a yokozuna dedication sumo event—but I consider it a good experience overall.

We stayed in the Nagi Suite for a special milestone trip. The room was not only spacious, but beautifully designed with natural light and shadow, the textures of wood and stone, and a sense of harmony with the surrounding landscape. Simply spending quiet time in the room felt like an experience in itself. The sunset cruise around Ago Bay was also unforgettable—calm waters, scattered islands, and ever-changing light. More than anything, what stayed with us most was the warm atmosphere created by the staff and their heartfelt hospitality. Everyone we met was gentle and pleasant, and their smiles and greetings felt genuinely warm rather than formal. They watched over us discreetly, anticipated what we might need at just the right moments, and kept a comfortable distance when we were relaxing. This thoughtful attention reached every part of our stay. We were also impressed by how carefully information was shared among staff members even when responsibilities or locations changed—it truly felt like everyone shared the same spirit of hospitality. We are deeply grateful as well for the sincere celebration of our milestone. Not only the beautiful property and magnificent nature, but also the kindness and warmth of those who work there made our time at Amanemu truly one of a kind. It has become one of our most memorable stays to date. We hope to return to this peaceful place again someday.

We received exceptional hospitality from the hotel staff. The lounge was always relaxing whenever we visited, and everything—from the sunset views from the lounge and the starry night sky to the in-house tour—was outstanding. They also provided transportation to the Bay Suite, allowing us to enjoy the atmosphere of both lounges. This is a hotel we would love to stay at again.

Unlike a single Accommodation that simply claims to be “Bali-style” or “European-style,” the entire Facility is so spacious that it feels like a theme park, offering an outstanding sense of being abroad. The Rooms are on par with those at real overseas resorts, and because the amenities meet Japanese standards, they are even more comfortable than many resorts abroad. The unique blend of European and Arab influences is wonderfully intriguing. From the baths to the dining, everything is first-class, and there was not a single unpleasant moment—my wife was delighted and said she was completely satisfied.

Used by a family of three. Great hospitality. The food was delicious! There were things for kids to play with in the dining room, which was a huge help! The view was great, and the baths were great too. The sauna temperature was just a little underwhelming, but since there are lots of kids, I guess that’s to be expected. The round trip by boat also felt special—made for wonderful memories.

The staff were wonderful, and the facilities, meals, and service were all excellent. It was a little disappointing that we could only use one of the private open-air baths. This is an inn we would love to stay at again! Thank you for a wonderful time!

We booked this Accommodation for our annual summer trip as a couple, as we had wanted to visit for a long time. Although the Accommodation is surrounded by the sea, it was calm with little rocky-shore scent, and the sea breeze felt fresh and pleasant. There are only four Rooms, and after researching in advance, we made a Reservation for a Room close to the deck and the ocean—exactly the location we loved. Inside, there was a faint scent of wood, and details like a small raised tatami area and subtly varied wood grain in parts of the flooring made it simple yet very comfortable. It’s a small thing, but I was also happy they had a good-quality hair iron available. For activities, we tried SUP and the sunset cruise. It was cloudy, but that actually meant it wasn’t too hot, so we were able to fully enjoy both. My husband also enjoyed listening to records on the audio system in the lobby (I think). We had planned to watch the stars by a bonfire after dinner, but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate… however, the staff prepared sparklers for us, and we were able to enjoy them quietly. The meal was a course menu that reflected glimpses of the local-born chef’s unique creativity, and it was fun just imagining what would come next from reading the menu. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, but perhaps because of their background in Japanese cuisine, the dashi-based soup in particular tasted exceptional. Also, although everyone working in the kitchen seemed young, they created such a pleasant atmosphere and appeared well trained in their respective fields. It was a short trip, but it felt like an escape from everyday life and left us refreshed—I think I can work hard again. It was truly wonderful Accommodation, and I hope to return again in another season.

We stayed for two nights. There were four adults in one Room (Garden Twin), but even with four beds it didn’t feel cramped, and we were able to relax comfortably. Since it was a family trip, the spacious open closet was also great for preventing forgotten items. Each bed had its own power outlets, which was extremely convenient. We expected a garden-side Room, but we could also see the ocean from the balcony, which was wonderful. I also personally liked that you can choose only the services you need at check-in. Since I usually carry a water bottle, I really appreciated the water dispenser service available in the Hotel. We were able to enjoy plenty of delicious water. It would have been nice if the provided pitcher were a bit larger, but there were two so it wasn’t inconvenient. They were acrylic, so there was no worry about breaking when carrying them around, and they looked stylish as well. It was also fun to boil water in the cute De’Longhi thermos kettle and enjoy tea. As is common at many Resort Hotels these days, the pajamas here were very comfortable and helped me sleep soundly. A small detail, but both the Room trash bin and the bathroom trash bin had liners properly fitted, which made them easy to use. Breakfast around 8:00 was slightly crowded and there was some waiting time, but once we were seated we could relax at ease. We chose Western-style breakfast on day one and Japanese-style on day two; both were delicious and very filling. For dinner we chose BBQ, and on the second night they changed up the ingredients so we could enjoy something different. The carefully selected seafood and meat were all delicious, and there was more than enough food including rice and dessert. On the second night it felt like we had a private setting, and we truly appreciated all of the staff’s help. There is also a large public bath; it wasn’t an Onsen, but it was clean and relaxing, so we were satisfied. All of the staff members were pleasant as well—they spoke to us thoughtfully when needed without being intrusive—so we had a very comfortable stay. The Facility offerings and services felt just right—not too much or too little—and it felt like a Hotel where you can relax at your own pace. It rained on our first day, but early on our second morning there was sunshower weather and we got to see a rainbow. We’d love to come back in another season to enjoy both morning and evening ocean views again.

After staying here during summer vacation, we were completely captivated and returned again for Silver Week. Even though it rained, the hotel’s direct connection to Parque España was a huge help, as we could easily go back and forth to take breaks. The staff were just as kind as ever, and we felt truly relaxed in the clean, luxurious room. And the delicious, fun buffet was still fantastic!! Our kids were thrilled with the Halloween-decorated cakes—and we parents enjoyed it just as much! The coffee machine was often under maintenance, so having an additional machine would be ideal; however, seeing how quickly they prepared coffee in a pitcher made us appreciate their excellent hospitality even more. Once again, we had a very satisfying stay. The day after we got home, our kids were already asking us to book our next visit—so we did right away. This is truly a hotel that children come to love, and I highly recommend it!!

After the festival at Shima Spain Village, I was able to refresh and recover from the fatigue with delicious food and a wonderful bath, so I could take on day two feeling energized! I’d love to come back again for a relaxing stay.

This was our first trip with our pet. They loved the private dog run and didn’t want to come back into the Room. It became a truly memorable trip for us.

The newly renovated room (formerly a Japanese-style room), just like in the photos on the official website, was chic and calming, and we had a wonderful stay. The towel art for our anniversary was an unexpected and touching surprise—thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. We also enjoyed the evening bonfire café; although it was windy so we stayed only briefly, roasting marshmallows made for a fun time. The amenities and in-room drinks were also high quality, and we were very satisfied. Just one small thing: when I looked up while rinsing my mouth at the sink, I noticed a little dust on the bathroom ceiling exhaust fan (not caked on—far less than the one at our home). That was the only moment that made me think “oh no.” The large public bath was clean as well, and it was excellent.

We were very satisfied last time, so we stayed again with three generations of our family. The meals were delicious, the renovated Room was clean with a great view, and we were able to relax in the Onsen and feel refreshed. All the staff were kind, and we also enjoyed bowling.

We stayed here on a couples’ trip. The welcome pizza was incredibly delicious, and even though we asked for seconds many times, the staff kindly baked fresh pizzas for us each time with a smile. Thank you very much. Perhaps because there were many families with children, our bathing times didn’t overlap, so even though we used the bath several times, we never shared it with anyone and were able to relax as if it were private. This was my fault, but the pizza was so good that I ate too much and ended up leaving some of my dinner, which I felt sorry about. I thought it would be nice to have an option with a smaller dinner portion. The dessert contained peaches, and when I declined due to my allergy, they offered to prepare an assortment of seasonal fruits instead. Since I’m allergic to fruit in general, I had to decline as well, but I truly appreciated their thoughtful consideration. Breakfast was also very delicious and satisfying. We would definitely like to stay again.

An auberge in Ise-Shima. Both the facilities and pricing are casual, but the dining is exceptionally satisfying. Accommodation and meals here are often expensive, but this place is a great value at around JPY 20,000 per person for one night with two meals. The restaurant has high ceilings and large glass windows, creating a bright, open atmosphere. At night the lighting is slightly subdued, making the ambience even better. As expected in Ise-Shima—known as “Miketsukuni,” the land of fine food—plenty of local ingredients are used. We thoroughly enjoyed abalone, Kumano beef, and spiny lobster and were very satisfied. The cuisine feels like creative fusion combining Japanese and Western styles. The presentation was as delicious to look at as it was to eat. In particular, the pairing of tender, fragrant eel with springy abalone—accented by sansho pepper—was outstanding and truly unique to Ise-Shima. Shima conger eel (hamo) and grilled eggplant with doburoku miso and ginger sauce Wild softshell turtle Japanese medicinal soup Local fish salad-style dish Abalone and eel grilled with sansho pepper; kinome miso and sansho olive oil Charcoal-grilled Mikumano beef with tomato-and-shiso condiment Corn rice; miso soup with spiny lobster broth Pistachio mousse and mango sorbet

I stayed here during my first visit to the Shima Peninsula, for an Ise pilgrimage and a visit to relatives. The moment I entered the room, the breathtaking view right in front of me made all my fatigue melt away. The hot spring was very relaxing and the view was wonderful, which I really enjoyed. However, there was a slight odor that bothered me. I’m not sure whether it was the smell of the hot spring or something in the room, but it did stand out. Aside from that, everything was excellent. All of the meals were delicious. For breakfast, I was thrilled to have miso soup with spiny lobster first thing in the morning. If possible, I think it would have been even better if there had been some locally made dried fish as well. I would like to stay again if I have another opportunity.

I always stay at this Hotel. If you’re visiting Shima City, I highly recommend it. You can enjoy a comfortable stay at the Hotel. Breakfast also features delicious local specialties, so you can enjoy them at the Hotel if you missed out elsewhere. It’s a great Hotel.

We stayed during Silver Week. Even with many guests, it never felt noisy, and the restaurant was run smoothly. There was a notice in the lobby with the sunset time, and the sunset over Ago Bay seen from our Room was very beautiful. The grounds are spacious, and the early-morning walking route was refreshing.

We stayed for two nights in a Wide View Twin room and a Japanese-style room. The Wide View Twin was very spacious, and the Japanese-style room was also comfortably sized. The staff were kind and even recommended some great local shops. We traveled without a car, but had no trouble getting around.
