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

The views of the islands in the bay and the Izu Seven Islands are stunning. The attentive service down to the smallest details and the kindness of the staff were wonderful, and I would definitely like to stay again. One concern: when entering for dinner, a tall bearded white male staff member spoke in an overbearing manner and told us to wait outside. Please address and improve this. A female staff member quickly came over and kindly assisted us. Aside from that, the food was excellent, and the open-air bath was amazing—I would love to return again.

I stayed for one night to show my appreciation to my partner. It was cleaner than I expected, and although many of the staff were foreigners, they were calm and kindly assisted us. The bath was quite hot, so I deducted one star, but we managed by adding water… Still, we were able to relax very well, and above all, it was wonderful to see how happy my partner was. It’s an old Hotel, but their hard work really came through. I’d love to visit again. Thank you very much. The view from the in-room bath was truly soothing.
