Ryokan di Shima

I stayed for one night during a three-day weekend in October with my 12yo daughter. The staff were very helpful and friendly, despite being quite busy. Our room was perfect for us with its own shower and toilet (we are not shared-bath fans, but I heard the onsen is lovely). The food (dinner and breakfast are included in the price) was absolutely amazing. The seafood, in particular, was delicious and the portions were generous, to say the least! We had several dietary requests (which I called about a few days before we arrived) and they had prepared special dishes for us (nut-free chawamushi and mixed rice for my daughter, meat-free nabe for me) as substitutes that were much appreciated! The dock was a bit rickety, but we enjoyed wandering out and watching the fishing boats. They were very family-friendly and accommodating and the location was lovely.

Nice Japanese-style resort. Very good dinners, very nice buffet breakfasts. Nice Onsen. Very helpful staff despite the limited ability to speak English.

I really like this place. The female owner has an inquisitive mind, a warm personality, and a kind heart. Her English is good enough to communicate and ask for help. The sauna and the private onsen in the room are top-notch. I did not check the public onsen with natural hot spring, but heard it's amazing too. I booked the 5th floor with an ocean view, and the private onsen experience during starry night and the set rise were indeed amazing! The hotel itself is located in a remote little cute fish town called osatsucho, where you can find fishmen and women harvesting and selling the Ise lobsters in the morning by the port. It was a very unique and interesting experience to stay in that little town for two days during the winter when it was not crowded at all. The nearest convenience store is 10 + miles away. It was a very natural, grounding, even retreat-like experience to me, and it was drastically different from my experience in Tokyo, Nayoga, or Osaka. I did spot a few demolished houses with broken windows in the town, not sure if it's because of COVID or during the winter when there were fewer tourists. The big plus is the Shinmei shrine next door to the hotel, which is a very calming and spiritual place to visit and stay for a bit too.
