one of the best authenic japanese seafood dinner and breakfast ever had. not for the picky eater. raw fish and seafood caught right off the shores of the hotel. older hotel with a beautiful beach right in front. if not a raw fish seafood eater, shimoda town wth quite a range of restaurants including italian and western fare. unreal indoor private bath or large public bath with excellent views. great if you want to go native!
It was beautiful stay at the yamatokan. The view from our room was so awesome. We didn’t order for the meals but we could enjoy all of our stay. There are a lot of things to see around this area if you like to enjoy the ocean. Surfing, fishing, kayaking, diving, etc...
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the traditional Japanese experience.
It’s location is perfect, right above one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to.
Their shuttle to and from the train station is great and the people are fantastic.
I definitely recommend the traditional Japanese dinner which was one of the best meals that I’ve ever had.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Simodakan. Service was great, foods were exceptional and especially the hot tub in the balcony was lovely. Only slight downside was the speed of WiFi in the room which was difficult to connect and very slow sometimes. However it wasn’t a big issue at all. We strongly recommend this hotel and would like to come back there in some future.
