Yusen Shidate

It was a wonderful Accommodation that exceeded my expectations. The property was quiet, with a slow, relaxing pace of time—an atmosphere that lets you forget everyday life. The Room was spotless and beautifully maintained, and the open-air bath attached to the Room had excellent water quality and was so comfortable I wanted to soak in it again and again. There is also a large public bath, but I think you’ll be more than satisfied with the bath in your Room alone. The meals were carefully prepared using mainly locally sourced ingredients, and everything was delicious. In addition to the Room, there were thoughtful touches such as a footbath and complimentary drink service, making our stay feel truly luxurious. I’d love to visit again in a different season next time.

Both the hot springs and the meals were excellent. I was especially satisfied with the food in both quantity and quality. Thank you for accommodating my food allergies. At another ryokan, they simply removed the allergen ingredients, but at Shidate you substituted other ingredients and dishes, and I could really feel the chef’s thoughtfulness. All of your staff were wonderful as well—answering questions immediately—and it was clear that everyone is well trained. Unlimited bath towels were also a welcome service at the hot springs. I did wish the room were a bit larger, as it felt somewhat cramped, but everything was very clean, and with services such as a footbath, complimentary ice cream and juice, and a free bar, this has become one of the places I would like to visit again.
