Shima Yamaguchikan ★★★

"The hotel offered us a very nice experienced to stay in the classic yet cozy ambiance. With the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable and patient to answer all my inquiry and misunderstanding. The hotel itself is very interesting for me to explore and the onsen experienced is very nice and marvelous. The river view very scenic and everywhere I captured the photo it always turn out so great."

Shima Onsen Tsuruya ★★★★

"The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, which allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my stay. Thanks to them, this trip became a wonderful memory. Thank you so much."

Spa Guest House Lulud ★★

"Booked the Japanese style room with toilet. Shower room has to be shared on the 2nd floor. Room has no amenities at all. Basic hair dryer and hot flask are in the communal area. We had to set up the bed ourselves. Room was dusty and was freezing cold even tho there was heater from the air con on winter’s night. There’s instructions to learn how to kill the stink bugs. The hotel facilities are good but the overall experience wasn’t good."

Shima Onsen Yuzurihaso Hot Spring Inn ★★

Shima Tamura ★★★

"The room I was able to get at the last minute was the one closest to the front desk. I was like, "Wait, it's not wrong to stay alone in such a great place, right?" (Because there was a next room...). The hot springs were free-flowing from the source, and some were unavailable, but the temperature varied depending on the bath, and you could enjoy the scenery. The soft water was a little hot, but it felt good to seep into your body. I think dinner was a regular kaiseki course, but it was very filling. The taste was not too strong or too weak, and I couldn't help but eat it. But by the end, I was so satisfied that I wondered if I had eaten too much. People with small appetites may not be able to finish it. Breakfast was also very good, and personally the hot spring rice porridge was a big hit. I didn't even need the regular white rice. Maybe eating hot spring water works well for my stomach, because I didn't feel heavy. As you can see in the photo, the basic breakfast is Japanese, but they also offer milk, coffee, yogurt, and desserts. Price-wise, I was more than satisfied with the price for a single person (though this is not the inn's fault at all. The way the external website writes, my lack of awareness, and my failure to check with the inn beforehand. In the end, I paid for two people's accommodation, but they also prepared all the meals for two people, which was rude of me). However, the landlady and all the other staff were very polite and I enjoyed the hot springs, the food, and the hospitality. It's in a slightly inconvenient area from where I live, but I would recommend it to others and would like to stay again if I have the opportunity; it's such a good impression of the inn."

Onsen Glamping ShimaBlue ★★★

"The people make the experience - when we needed assistance to charge our car they went above and beyond. Anything we needed, they went above and beyond to help with. The location was beautiful and peaceful and the accommodations comfortable."

Ryumeikan ★★★

"Sawado Onsen is known as Kusatsu's healing hot spring. After enjoying a day trip to Kusatsu Onsen, we stayed at Ryumeikan. The exterior gives the feeling of returning to the countryside. It is a homely and cozy inn, the landlady is friendly and the staff are cheerful as well. The dinner portion was particularly generous. If you underestimate it, your stomach will definitely die of rage. It seems that my stomach was happy to be able to eat so much delicious food. The most difficult thing was the bath. It was so hot that I had a hard time getting in. I think the key to success is to pour lots of water over yourself. Sawado Onsen is known as a famous hot spring. There was hot water and my skin felt smooth afterwards. The water is so hot that it might be better for your body to use it in the cold season."

KANOUYASHIMAONSEN ★★★

"Great L-bone Steak Dinner!"

Shima Grand Hotel ★★★★

"The location is really remote, on top of a mountain. You have to check in before 9pm. I arrived at 10pm first. The service of the hotel staff is very good👍🏻They are gentle and comfortable. The environment is beautiful, but the disadvantage is that it is far away. Drivers need to be careful to keep turning around. There are no street lights along the road. It is recommended to go to the hotel before entering the dark."
