Umioto Mari

This is what a great Accommodation should be. It met my expectations—and exceeded them. From the complimentary herb-infused water made with herbs from the garden to the various cordial syrups and even a sake bath, every detail was thoughtfully considered. The olive kaiseki dinner left a strong impression of Shodoshima. I truly hope to return.

This was my first stay, and it was truly a wonderful Accommodation. I’ve stayed at island Accommodations several times before, but this one had a different feel. It was great that the sea was so close, and being able to see the ocean from the Room was especially nice. The olive kaiseki dinner was exquisite. The variety of olives used in each dish was fun and delicious. I also enjoyed relaxing in the private bath, but I did notice that the drainage seemed a bit poor—the shower water didn’t drain easily, which was inconvenient.
