Nice property, but for many it may be a little too far of a walk away from the tourist attractions of downtown Shimoda and for others not offer enough to be a destination property that you’re happy never to leave. It’s a place to stay if your come in a car or are happy to take taxis (the way I came, on a bicycle, is tough because of a brutally steep climb to reach the hotel, which sits on a cliff) Probably a nice place to stay for a couple of nights if you have kids who would enjoy swimming in the pool (a basic, modest sized-pool) or exploring the rocky beach below the property. Staying longer than than that would get old as the property has only one restaurant. Staff were friendly though the front desk was a bit overwhelmed by the Golden Week rush when I was there. Appreciated that they invited me to park my bicycle at the front entrance and out of the rain. The one restaurant was fine - neither wonderful nor terrible for dinner (a little pricey for what you receive) and had a good breakfast buffet. Room comfortable. Building & grounds in nice shape.
