It's an old inn. However, I thought it was wonderful to see that everything was thoroughly cleaned. The staff's response is also wonderful. There were a lot of meals, so I tried my best to eat them. The best part is the bathroom in the room. The bath is just right, not too hot. I went in three times. It's a really nice bath. I would like to go again someday. thank you very much. I'll see you again!

It's a very good inn. The rooms are clean and nice, but the bed would have been better for a couple with bad legs, but it can't be helped. The food wasn't luxurious, but it was homemade with local produce and delicious. 😄The quantity is neither too much nor too little.Everyone is different!(Occupation: Japanese head chef)It's a hot spring♨, but it's amazing.The water doesn't get cold😳Even with the air conditioner on, I'm sweating💧Reasonable price So, the quality is average. If you're looking for more than that, I think a luxury inn like Ufu is better!

Shima Onsen has large hotels and small inns. It's still a quiet place without much of an inbound feeling. The accommodation I stayed at this time was very warm and felt like a guesthouse. Along the river, with an open-air bath. The water temperature is a little hot.It's a very nice bath with natural hot spring water. It's not flashy, but it can fit two people comfortably. The meals we serve are made with local ingredients as much as possible. All the employees came to me casually and talked to me about various things. If you are not looking for something flashy, I think this is a very satisfying stay.

It was less than a guesthouse. Did you buy your food at the supermarket? It wasn't much. They won't even open the door until 3 o'clock.I was charged 500 yen for alcohol that I didn't drink, and I paid it without realizing it. I will never use it again!!

It's an old facility, but it's clean. I stayed in a room with a semi-open-air bath, but you can also use the communal bath 24 hours a day.The hot springs are slightly alkaline, leaving your skin smooth and your body warm.However, the water is never hot.The food was local cuisine, and although it wasn't fancy, it was plenty and delicious. For alcohol, I received cold sake. It was delicious, but there was no variety, which was a shame.Also, since it's an old inn, I thought the ideas were a bit outdated, such as not being allowed to bring in drinks and no Wi-Fi.However, the hot springs, where you can bathe in your room many times and hear the sound of the river flowing nearby, give you a sense of nature.It was my first trip in a while, but I was able to take it easy. This is an inn I would like to come back to again.thank you very much.

A ryokan in Shima Onsen townShima Onsen has many guest rooms with hot springs, and this seems to be one of them.There was also a shared bathroom.The room is spacious.If you open the window, you can see the river below.There are some points that I'm concerned about, but I guess that's just the taste and taste. That's what traveling is all about.Once you get used to hot springs, you will want to take a bath again and again.The meals are prepared using local ingredients. Plenty of items, just the right amount for women and people who drink alcohol. If you eat a lot, can you get a second helping of ohitsu rice?

I stayed in a room with a semi-open-air bath.I don't understand why they call that a semi-open-air bath.1.Room★1There was no view as it was on the first floor.The wallpaper has wrinkles, probably due to the humidity in the bath.2.Hot spring quality is ★5I was expecting a semi-open-air bath, but it was just a regular bath with a window.3.Meal★2B&B cuisine using local ingredients4.Price★314,300 yenIt is ◎ to take a hot spring bath in your room 24 hours a day.5. Accommodation favorability and others ★2During breakfast time, they entered the room and the refrigerator was locked and unplugged.There was no way to raise or lower the futon, so I was surprised when I returned to the room and didn't expect him to come in.There is also a notice that a penalty fee will be charged for bringing in drinks.I don't know what the refrigerator is for.If you stay on the first floor, you will be close to the large bath, but the reception and dining room are both on the second floor, so you will have to climb up and down the stairs.I have bad eyesight so I was scared if there were no handrails.Elderly people also need to be careful.
