Izu Shimoda Onsen Japan's Premier Scenic View Shimoda View Hotel

Four old friends and I stayed for one night on a weekend in June. We had an ocean-side Room with an amazing view. I was worried because many Reviews complained about slow food refills, but dishes were replenished promptly whenever they ran out, and the quality exceeded the price. All-you-can-eat crab is often disappointing with thin meat, but this was substantial and impressive. If I have the chance, I will visit again.

Whenever we travel from Hokkaido back to Shimoda, it has become our tradition for my mother, my son, and me to stay here—this Accommodation never disappoints!The ocean view from the Room is absolutely stunning, and the sound of the waves soothes away everyday fatigue. I could watch it forever. The beach is just a short walk away, so I always look forward to a morning stroll the day after we stay. The water is incredibly clear, so I highly recommend seeing it in person.The food is also delicious and changes with the seasons, which makes me want to visit again in other seasons as well. In particular, the main dish—kinmedai (splendid alfonsino) shabu-shabu—was rich and incredibly tasty. It’s easier to enjoy than the typical meat main course you often get in set menus, and it really lets you savor what makes Shimoda special.And breakfast here is amazing!!There are so many carefully prepared dishes, and the seasoning isn’t too strong—so I end up eating a lot. I also love the spiny lobster miso soup. It’s great that they have dragon fruit and such a wide variety of fruit for dessert, plus kiwi sauce for yogurt—it’s such a nice touch. I think this is one of the most varied breakfasts you’ll find anywhere!This time was also my first time using the gym!The machines were simple enough that I think women and beginners can use them easily.Above all else, the reason we keep coming back is because the staff are polite and extremely attentive. Even during meals they spoke kindly to my 4-year-old son, which truly helped us.This Accommodation comes highly recommended—even with children, you can stay with complete peace of mind!There was an unexpected power outage on our stay this time, but we were able to spend our time without any major issues.We definitely want to return again!I’d also love to try out the summer pool next time.Thank you very much.
