Island Inn of Moromi, "Mari"

I’m so glad I was lucky enough to get a Reservation at the Accommodation I’d been hoping to stay at when visiting Shodoshima!Thank you for emailing me in advance to confirm that my stay date fell on your Children’s Day, and for your very attentive support even before we arrived.The meals were excellent—we enjoyed plenty of Shodoshima’s local vegetables and fish, and we were completely satisfied. Thank you as well for the careful explanations of each dish and for adding a final message.The Onsen was private and wonderful.It was a shame that our timing didn’t work out, and in the end we couldn’t use one of them no matter when we checked…I also really appreciated the free drink service.We were too full to try the homemade fruit drinks or alcohol, so next time I’d like to come with more time (and room in my stomach), haha.Breakfast was delicious too—I finished everything!It was fun chatting about wanting to go to live shows, haha.I hope you enjoy your private time as well, so you can do even more wonderful work.One small thing: I wish the blind on the Room bathroom window could be adjusted.It felt like it might be visible from outside… hahaOther than that, it was an incredibly relaxing space—perfect.Shodoshima is such a wonderful place.I’ll be back!

This was the Accommodation my husband had said he wanted to visit at least once. We are truly grateful for the wonderful meals and the proprietress’s thoughtful hospitality. I hope to stay healthy so we can visit again. For the first time at this age, I came to understand just how deep and complex soy sauce can be.
