Hotels near Ryugu Sea Cave, Shimoda

The Hotel was great and the Hostess were amazing . I went with my son who is in his 20’s and he also loved the Place , the food and the owners. We had a really good experience. It is a beautiful Beach front hotel, with amazing views, great Gourmet food and very awesome Hostesses . Greatly recommended!

This was my first time visiting Minamiizu, and a friend recommended this hotel – it truly lived up to expectations! The accommodations were great, and the food was delicious. My only complaint is regarding the shuttle service. The day before check-in, I specifically asked about pickup details through Trip.com customer service. The hotel only sent a text message with the pickup time, but not the location. I assumed, like most hotels, that it would pick up in front of the JR station. To my surprise, I waited from 2 PM to 3 PM and saw no sign of the hotel bus. I started to feel something was wrong and checked Trip.com, where I saw a guest comment mentioning that after 3:10 PM, there would be no more pickups. Panicked, I immediately called the hotel. That's when I learned the hotel bus has a specific waiting point, around the corner, to the right of the JR station (and then to the right again). If this isn't communicated beforehand, and there are no signs at the station, it's impossible for guests to know where to wait. Therefore, I strongly suggest the hotel standardize its pickup service by clearly stating both the pickup time and location in advance. Both pieces of information are essential!

The hotel is located in a secluded area and it takes more than four hours to drive from Narita Airport, but once you enter, you will feel that it is well worth it. The environment is elegant and comfortable, the room is clean and spacious, and the private bath is great! Dinner and breakfast the next day were both served in the hotel restaurant. The ingredients were fresh and abundant, especially the famous local golden eye sea bream dishes. 

The owner was very nice, and all Japanese people are very polite. Remember to ring the bell if no one is at the front desk. The room was great value for money; I got a bargain. However, Google Maps gave me the wrong directions, so I entered through a back door in a deserted area. I was very satisfied with the room; please see the pictures and video.

The service was very good and the place is amazing. Nevertheless they didn’t allow us to have dinner or breakfast in the hotel as they said it was fully booked, and when requested for late check in we were asked to pay more. It would have been expected to be able to at least check in a bit later since we couldn’t enjoy the dinner or breakfast in the hotel and was inconvenient.

This ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) is run by an elderly couple. It felt like staying at a relative's house, full of warmth. The building is a bit old, but it's kept impeccably clean, so we felt completely at ease. By chance, there was a cancellation when we stayed, so we literally had the whole place to ourselves (lol). The food was truly delicious. Each dish was prepared with such care, and meal times were pure bliss. Even for breakfast, we had turban shell mixed rice. They thought of everything; since the portions were large, they even provided plastic wrap for us to take leftovers if we couldn't finish it all. The variety and freshness of the fruit served at breakfast were incredible; I wondered how many different kinds there were! It was a truly impressive stay. When we left, they gave us a processed photo taken during our meal and homemade lotion prepared by the wife as gifts. This is a wonderful ryokan that I would confidently recommend to everyone, but since the couple is elderly and can't overexert themselves, guests should try to make things easier for them, perhaps by tidying up after themselves. I definitely want to visit again someday.

Quite affordable considering its proximity to the beach. The place gives a homey vibe. It’s clean and quiet. It’s run by Aoki-san and Keiko-san, a really nice couple. Those traveling by public transport shouldn’t be worried about access as long as you check the bus schedule of the day. We got lucky going back to Shimoda station since Aoki-san was also headed there and gave us a ride. Definitely going back! ありがとうございました Aoki-san. 🥰

The sea-view room exceeded expectations, though the Indian-origin staff was a slight concern. Overall, it was still very good, but the price was a bit high. The service was excellent, but dinner wasn't very good and cost 180. The free hot spring was great.

Amazing place to stay,aesthetic view and a great amazing dinner and breakfast ambience. I choose and booked the private villa with pool and which is good,I enjoyed the dinner foods they served us,so classy and elegant presentation. So I ordered the bottle of botega champagne which is fit for the foods they offered. Lovely it was and amazing wonderful evening. After we had a night pool with my partner and we bring our own foods and drinks champagne for the long night to celebrate our stay. I’m very satisfied for my stay at this place. Staff was really nice and good at their service. Perfect 👌 I love to came back again soon… Thank you so much 🤞🏻❣️
