Shima Tamura

This traditional Japanese ryokan, with its historic architecture and tranquil ambiance, is an ideal retreat for couples and luxury travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Perched on a steep slope, the hotel offers a quiet setting away from the main street, providing a serene atmosphere. The highlight of the property is its seven distinct hot spring baths, including a 24-hour "Straw Bath" and scenic outdoor options, ensuring a truly relaxing experience. Guests consistently praise the exceptional staff and the diverse kaiseki dinner, which features elaborate presentations and authentic Japanese flavors. For an enhanced stay, consider booking the maisonette twin rooms in the Kinwakukan for their spacious layout and elevated views.
