Shimahana

We stayed again as a couple (with our dog) for the first time in two years. We heard it would start raining from the evening of our arrival day, so we came just after 1:00 p.m. hoping to let our dog play in the dog run. When we explained this at the front desk, they kindly said, “Of course,” and welcomed us right away. We let our dog play for over an hour and thought he must be tired, but before we knew it, it was time to check in. As always, everything was spotless down to every corner. All amenities were placed within easy reach, making for a comfortable start. He still wanted to play and kept staring at the dog run from the second-floor balcony, but raindrops began to fall, so they kindly took us by boat to New Awaji Main Building. We enjoyed a luxurious bath there, then took a wagon Shuttle Service back to Shimahana. Everywhere we went, all staff greeted us with warm smiles, and we were able to head into dinner feeling great as usual. The “Seasonal Delicacies Course” was an outstanding meal carefully prepared with seasonal ingredients—gentle enough for an older couple like us—and every dish left us feeling refreshed both physically and mentally. This is the number one reason we want to return again and again. The next morning we also enjoyed the breakfast buffet heartily (forgetting our age). As expected, everything was delicious. Because of yesterday’s rain our dog didn’t quite get enough exercise, but we left truly satisfied thanks to your wonderful hospitality. We hope to return again soon. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

I suddenly decided to visit Awaji Island and made a Reservation here the day before. Only this Room was available, so I couldn’t choose, but it turned out to be spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was included, and the selection was so extensive that it was impossible to try everything. Everything tasted excellent as well. For the Onsen, we were provided with Shuttle Service by glass-bottom boat, and we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen both on arrival and again the next day. The view—where sea, sky, and Onsen seemed to merge into one—was breathtakingly beautiful. Although it was just one night and two days, it felt as fulfilling as a much longer stay. Every staff member was friendly, and we had a truly pleasant time. Thank you very much.
