Kyukamura Shikanoshima

The hotel is located in a picturesque spot, opposite a stunningly beautiful beach with sea views. The swimming season runs from mid-July to the end of August. Despite the warm weather (it was around 30 degrees Celsius in October), swimming is prohibited due to the presence of life-threatening jellyfish in the waters. All beach amenities (changing rooms, showers, lifeguard service) close at the end of August. Nevertheless, it was pleasant to simply walk barefoot along the perfect sandy shore. At first glance, the hotel looks a bit old-fashioned, but inside, everything is perfectly organized and very cozy! The rooms are quite comfortable and large. They are decorated in Japanese style (photons and low tables), but we stayed in rooms with a European decor, with familiar beds and armchairs. All rooms have stunning sea views. The rooms have only a toilet and a sink. Showers and baths are not provided due to the large onsen on site. It is very spacious and comfortable, with large mineral pools both indoors and outdoors, showers with all the necessary toiletries, yukatas, slippers, etc. Despite the hotel being fully occupied, no one disturbed anyone else, and the room was spacious. I would also like to thank the staff: they were professional, responsive, and very polite. The organization and coordination of their work is simply impeccable and is one of the best examples of ideal Japanese service! Thank you for your hard work! There are always English-speaking staff at reception. Meals include breakfast and dinner: the choice is huge, featuring Japanese and European cuisine. Everything here will satisfy lovers of the freshest fish and premium seafood, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and if you visit in the spring, you will enjoy strawberries (there is a farm nearby). Alcohol is available for an additional fee. The hotel does not provide bicycle rentals. A free shuttle runs three times a day to the train station and ferry terminal. (You must reserve a seat on the shuttle to the hotel in advance; we did so through their Instagram page.) Nearby, to your right, there are lovely restaurants with sea views and a variety of cuisines if you feel like taking a stroll. It was a real treat to visit this wonderful place. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city :)

I really go there every time I come to Japan. It's really healing in itself. It was so good. You can also use the hot springs.

The hotel is very big. The hot spring is on the second floor. It has an open-air pool and an indoor pool. The bathhouse is very large. The hotel is right on the seaside, and the room window faces the sea. The view is excellent, and you can go for a walk and swim on the seaside. The hotel's swimming pool is only open every afternoon. We arrived at the hotel at 6pm and checked out at 10am the next day, so we were not able to swim in the pool. Breakfast and dinner are rich! We have two children (3 and 8 years old), the 3-year-old is free, and the 8-year-old has to pay 8,000 yen (including breakfast, dinner and accommodation). There was no bottle of water in the room, but a bottle of ice water was prepared. There is no bathtub in the room, so you must go to the large bath to take a bath. The hotel has a washing machine and dryer for 200 yen each time.

This is a hotel located on the seaside of a small island. Because it faces west, the scenery of the sunset is very beautiful when the weather is good. All rooms face the sea, and it is very healing to look at the sea view from the room. They have a very rich buffet dinner. It is well worth visiting this hotel to enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere.

The room cannot take a shower and the facilities are too old, which is acceptable

Very comfortable stay
