The hotel suite is 100m2 and is huge . Our suite was with 3 futons, perfect for 3 gentlemen. The huge bathroom was well supplied with the nicest cosmetic amenities and fluffy towels.
Everything in the refrigerator was free, even wines. However we did not consume any. The Club lounge on the fifth floor was already well supplied with all kinds of snacks, beverages and wines, open from morning to late night.
We had a Japanese breakfast on day and a western breakfast on the second day. Both were excellent.

I have two feelings about this stay.
1. The photo posted by this website was a lie - the room was very different to the reality. For a start there was no in room onsen and that had been a major factor in me making this booking. I was really disappointed on arrival.
2. However it has to be said the staff are fabulous, the food excellent and everything about the place shows a tremendous attention to detail. After a lovely long soak in the Onsen available to guests and a fabulous dinner my mood was quite recovered. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for someone looking for a luxurious retreat and plan to return myself.

My stay at Shima Hantou in Shima City, Japan was a delightful experience. The location of the hotel is convenient, earning it a solid 4 out of 5 rating. Although it is a bit far from Ise City, it's easily accessible by car, with just a 1-hour journey.
The hotel's cleanliness also deserves a commendable 4 out of 5 rating. As a traditional Japanese hotel, the exterior has a charming appeal. While the interior design may not be the most modern, it is still well-maintained and clean.
One aspect that truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 rating for service.
In terms of facilities, the hotel offers a basic hot spring bath, which was a relaxing experience. However, it's worth noting that there is only one pool for bathing, and the absence of a cold water bath and sauna facilities somewhat limited the options. Therefore, I would rate the facilities as 4 out of 5.
Overall, I highly recommend Shima Hantou for a pleasant stay in Shima City. The location, cleanliness, and exceptional service make it a great choice for travelers seeking a traditional Japanese hotel experience.

AnihaseyoTransportation: Take the Shimakaze train to Kashikojima, which takes about two and a half hours. Contact the hotel in advance for a pick-up from Kashikojima station.
The hotel does not provide airport pick-up, but can arrange car hire for guests.
Transportation is very inconvenient.
Facilities: The facilities are very good. The interior styles of the three Aman hotels in Japan are very similar, and the rooms and public areas are well-maintained.
Service: The service is very good.
Food: Due to the hotel's remote location, there are no restaurants nearby, so all meals were eaten at the hotel.
The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good (I thought it wouldn't be good).
Dinner reservations must be made in advance, as the hotel is fully booked on holidays, and the restaurant's dinner slots are also fully booked. You either have to wait until 8:30 pm or eat at the bar.
If you choose to eat dinner at the bar, you won't be able to get shabu-shabu.
The lunch menu is different; it's a simple meal, but acceptable.
The first set meal was a regular set meal, which included a beef dish with a green sauce that was super delicious; I used it to mix with rice.
The second set meal included shabu-shabu, with options for Ise lobster, Matsusaka beef, and local beef; I chose the local beef. The reddish-brown sauce in the shabu-shabu was absolutely delicious.
Activities: Chinese-speaking guides can be requested for tours of Ise.
The hotel didn't email us in advance to inform us about activities or inquire about arrangements. Many activities were unavailable upon check-in.
Summary: Aside from the inconvenient transportation and the lack of advance email communication about activities during my stay, everything was fine.

The hotel is on the island of Dokano, drive to the dock parking lot, and then carry luggage on the boat. It is inconvenient to encounter heavy rain when you check in, but the hotel hot springs and food quality are not wrong.

Guest UserThe bath, where the scent of cypress filled the building, was amazing.
The food was delicious and there was a wide variety of options.
We were able to go fishing before dinner and breakfast, and my husband was very satisfied as he caught rockfish, pufferfish, and horse mackerel.
This is an inn we would definitely like to visit again.

Guest UserOur family of three stayed for one night and were extremely satisfied.
First, the room was spacious and clean, allowing us to relax comfortably. The view was particularly beautiful, and the feeling of being away from everyday life was wonderful.
Both breakfast and dinner were buffet style, with a wide variety of dishes. Many dishes used local ingredients, and everything was delicious; our whole family enjoyed it. We were especially pleased that there were many dishes that our child enjoyed. It's easy to see why many reviews praise the wide variety of delicious food.
Furthermore, the lounge and hot springs were excellent, making it possible to enjoy ourselves even without leaving the hotel. Overall, the balance of service and facilities was great, allowing us to spend a truly relaxing time.
This is a hotel I would highly recommend for family trips, and it's a wonderful place we would definitely like to stay again.

O - Luinkle - Shib, you can drink alcohol from welcome drinks, and in the lounge there was an afternoon tea-like Mont Blanc Ke - Ki.
After all, the food was delicious, and the ”baked apple pie” distributed at dinner and the ”baked croissant” at breakfast were warm and delicious.
The amount of ”Kuri - Mi - Curry Udon” for the night meal was just right and delicious.
It is recommended to enter 15:00 of check-in and spend a slow time,

The check-in was at night, so the road just in front of the hotel was a little scary, but it was a road that was not scary at all when I went to the bright time the next morning.
It was easy to go because the public bath was right after getting off the elevator.
This time I stayed without meals, but next time I wanted to stay with meals.

The room was clean and nice
The public bath was also large and good, but the sauna
I felt narrow.
The meal was satisfactory with local specialties, but I was a little disappointed with the fruits and the dessert cake.
It was good that the lounge was near the public bath
I used it for 6 families (adults 5 1 child), but I was able to play karaoke and table tennis and had a good time.
