Hotels in Shimosato

"Amazing cabin by the river!"

"Lovely place, clean room and toilet/shower. Has a pantry for coffee/tea as well as toasting bread and microwaving food. Very comfy"

"Onsen are good and food is adequate, however Hotel is in urgent need of repair !!!"

"Disappointed"

"Every think was good but becarefull every shop closing around at 5.00 pm prepare your self."

"Ocean view room is very nice. The air conditioning is very weak. Bathroom is not spacious."

"We stayed here 3 nights in April (visiting from NYC). My husband got food poisoning from the hotel the second night (we know this because we shared every meal on our trip except 1). Food in general was not very good… we didn’t realize the ryokan culture is to eat a huge breakfast and dinner at the hotel, so we saw the reviews saying the food isn’t great and didn’t think much of it. The reviews are right! Other thoughts: if you google kii-katsuura one of the main attractions is whale watching, the hotel staff knew nothing about it. We had to do our own research and find a tour (tour co was 20 min away and picked us up from our hotel but just odd hotel staff were unhelpful). Also private outdoor onsen rooms on the first floor do not have a view of the ocean, which was a disappointment, worth it to pay more for a higher floor. But mostly do not recommend this place at all."

"I put everything into my video https://youtu.be/GGXBlkTra50?si=5XSGXo44shmaNnso Please enjoy it, it’s good to stay for more than one night"

"Simply beautiful. The onsen was so wonderful and the community onsen was even better. The staff were absolute professionals and went above and beyond our expectations. The breakfast and dinner were as we expected. I really liked their tempura but i loved the sashimi. My partner loved the beer dispenser:) We feel a got the best deal!"
