It is about 15 minutes walk to the Izukyū-Shimoda train station. Just wish it a little bit closer as walking on a summer hot day with luggage may not be fun.

This hotel has a great view. I can see the sea and the black ship right from my hotel room. Very beautiful! First time to sleep in a traditional Japanese-style room, and very fun experience!

The reception area and some of the general facilities are a bit dated and you can see the place used to be very grand. It is also a bit of a hike from the main Shimoda streets - especially on hot days, so taxi is almost a must-have

The room was amazing. Large and comfortable with everything we needed. The outdoor onsen with spectacular views over the bay was a massive highlight. The staff were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay. The fish foot spa is a fun addition as is the gift shop and kids activity area.

Japanese style room with private onsen on terrace was absolutely worth it. The hotel has is very old charm. Breakfast was excellent.

Location was a bit quiet and a distance to walk to where most of the restaurants were

Nice big room overlooking the Harbour.

This older hotel would benefit from "some love" (retouching the finish) in some areas, such as the pool and some parts of the room (shoji or walls showing damage). They do not make the futons for you in the evening, stating "health reasons" (this is a bad excuse). The Wifi also stopped working late at night during 2 of the nights... Corridors are excessively hot, which is especially unpleasant when you are trekking through the at times long complex paths to your room or to the ofuro (common bath).

This is an older "resort hotel" with multiple buildings/ wings which retains its interest for the rooms and eating options. Situated 1 km from the station, facing the bay, outside of the Shimoda old town. Beautiful view from the rooms facing the bay, nice big room. Helpful and welcoming staff at reception. Set meal dinner and breakfast were delicious and well worth trying for one day, though the alcohol prices were high -- but there are also many other options in town, so please explore. Some options are 150 meters away in the fishing port with fresh seafood, all worth a try.

The rental price for bicycles was way too high. We considered it as parking by the beaches is ¥2000, but renting 2 bikes for the day was going to be over ¥6000 which is ridiculous.

This place is like a window into the past. If you're looking for 5 star accomodation with the latest in furnishings and technology, this isn't for you. If you want to experience Fear & Loathing in Shimoda then definitely stay here.

Seems the humidifier not cleaned in often. Internal seems get mouldy. And seems limited staff learned English.

Staff are nice, ice mineral water is cool and the breakfast is great. And nice view towards docks

-the room and toilet had a peculiar smell (not coming from the tatami) and there were stains on the chairs and futons -the bathroom was a bit rough looking and could need some renovation -the facilities looked a bit old fashioned

-central location in Shimoda -beautiful view from the room -friendly staff

I liked everything.

It was fancy, staff were nice, there was a lot of activities inside the hotel as well as the Black Ship, restaurant, and walking area outside of the hotel.

A wonderful place to stay. Great location and clean and comfortable room. We loved the open air bath and the beautiful view from the room.

The room itself and the private outdoors onsen/bath were fantastic, as well as the breakfast. Wonderful experience.
