Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 206 reviews
Shimoda View Hotel is a traditional ryokan-style hotel in Shimoda, Izu, known for ocean views and open-air baths. Guests frequently mention the relaxing time soaking in hot springs while gazing at the sea.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise 'fantastic ocean views from ocean-view rooms' and 'healing in the public open-air bath overlooking the sea'. Seafood buffet dinners and friendly staff service also receive high satisfaction. Those who chose rooms with private onsens especially rate it as 'worth it'.
However, many reviews note that without specifying an ocean-view room, you're assigned a mountain-side room with poor views. The location requires shuttle or taxi from the station, and some complaints arise about breakfast operations or room cleaning. Facilities feel somewhat dated.
It suits couples or families seeking onsens and scenic views.
