  Beautiful view in a surfer's town

  My husband booked this hotel for one night, for a family/business trip. He believed it was a "hotel" from the website but it is a B&B or as Japanese say, "pension". Still it was very nice. It's off a little hidden road but the view is amazing! The staff were polite and friendly, but not overbearing. I really appreciated it that they didn't ask us a lot of questions--sometimes you just want to chill and they let us do that. So for me, it was a big plus. The theme is nice-lots of pretty artwork and of course, sea shells! We picked the jacuzzi room for our daughter since it was a bit too cold to swim. She loved it! My husband complained that the aircon was weak, but it was ok for me. The room was clean but there were some stains on the shelf and a few hairs on the rug, the tv was small. Honestly, it wasn't a big deal at all because I don't watch tv and the jacuzzi tub made up for it!!! The private onsen (hot springs bath) was a nice touch for my husband and daughter too. We didn't pick the dinner set, but we did have a wonderful breakfast in the morning. Lots of breads (toast, rolls, jams, etc) and the lobster soup was very good! We picked the western breakfast, but a Japanese option is included. Only one "complaint"--I wonder why we were charged a fee for 3 year old but she didn't receive a meal of her own? It ended up being ok, because she wanted toast and bacon, so she ate mine. I think the staff should clarify that if the fee is just for her being there because there was no extra meal or towels for her, just a kid's plate and slippers. I would recommend this place to others. We had a nice stay because of this place. It was quaint, walking distance to the beach and has a great view. If you are looking for amazing hospitality, sparkling rooms and overbearing service, go elsewhere. But if you want to escape to a quiet, clean place in Shimoda with good food-go here!

  Stunning views

  We were delighted to find a spacious, tastefully decorated suite in this remote location. We sat for hours reading and looking at the sea. A perfect break from the big cities. The dinner was fabulous. Only downside: inflexible meal times; breakfast at 08:00 or 08:30, dinner at 18:00/18:30. Day trip suggestion: the 7 waterfalls at Kawazu
