This small Japanese inn is located near Shimoda Station in the center of Izu Shimoda, known for its white sand beaches, the history of the Black Ships' arrival and the opening of Japan to the world, and the port town of hot springs. With Shimoda Fuji, the older sister of Mt. Fuji in local folklore, as its backdrop, it is within walking distance of the ropeway, the streetscape of namako walls, Shimoda Port, Perry Road, and more. The natural environment on the premises is so well-designed that you'll forget you're near Shimoda Station and the town, and once you pass through the gate, you'll be in another world, surrounded by the quiet appearance of the Japanese inn and the atmosphere of seasonal flowers. The building is Japanese architecture, a single-story building with a total of five rooms, and all rooms have a cypress indoor bath, an Izu stone open-air bath with Shimoda hot spring water flowing through it, and a miniature garden. Even while indoors, the wild flowers are a delight to the eye, making it perfect for spending a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Both breakfast and dinner meals are served in your room, so you can enjoy private time with your family and loved ones without any worries. Dinner is a multi-course meal made mainly with local ingredients, and for breakfast you can choose between Japanese or Western cuisine. The facilities and furnishings in the rooms are all overflowing with Japanese attention to detail, and even more so, the spirit of hospitality is evident everywhere.
The fifth floor will have one spa suite, which will open in March 2023. The second floor is equipped with a bed and desk, and has a spa room with a hot spring bath, a forest-themed forest room, a shared compact room, and rooms with themes of the purpose of your stay, comfortable space, workcation, and free time. When you want to change your mood, you can relax in each of the lounges with different themes, and occasionally take a dip in the hot spring to warm your body. Take a walk to feel the refreshing air of nature. We have created an inn that can offer guests visiting Shima a Shin Touji experience that is adapted to modern lifestyles, reminiscent of the Touji experience that Meiji era literary figures would have had when they visited Shima Onsen and other hot springs, where they would have been healed in both body and mind and inspired to create. Although we do not offer generous service, all of our staff strive to provide honest and friendly hospitality. At Dining Shimanone on the first floor, we await our guests with handmade soba noodles and delicious sake.
