Shimoda Seaside Hotel

I stay here at least once a year, and I’m satisfied every time (which is why I keep coming back).This time, the meals were even better than last time. The Facility (the building) itself is starting to show its age (especially the balcony; the exterior walls may need repairs), but the view from the balcony is spectacular. It’s also conveniently located for visiting attractions such as Ryugudo, the Underwater Aquarium, and the Kaikoku Memorial Museum.

Six of us in our late 40s to early 50s stayed here. We originally planned to come by motorcycle, but due to the typhoon forecast we came in one car. The Itoen Group offers excellent value for money. The meals vary slightly by area, which made it enjoyable. We didn’t do any sightseeing in Shimoda this time, but the townscape has a strong sense of history, and we’d like to return for sightseeing in Shimoda next time.
