Beautiful location, ocean front. We got the room with outdoor onsen ocean facing. The room was well maintained. The packaged meals (breakfast and dinner) were well prepared! Both my wife and I loved it! Would definitely come back!

Beach front Ryokan with exceptional service, great views, and fantastic onsen. The beach has really fun waves for boogie boarding and surfing. There is a surf shop just a few minutes walk from the hotel that rents wetsuits and boards. Hotel was very clean and relaxing.

The location was great and the staff was lovely but the room and the first floor smells like mold. So much mold!

This hotel is a mixed bag, but unfortunately leans more negative. For the positive, the onsen had a gorgeous view; the staff was excellent, kind and helpful; they offer an insanely useful free shuttle service to the main station, and it’s at a great location being beachside. For the negatives, the entire hotel and rooms had a horrendous musty smell that smelled like wet walls and flooring. This smell never went away either (raining or not). On top of this, there were MANY leak stains on the walls, roofs and closets throughout the hotel and our room. It started to rain when we stayed and I could already hear another leak near our balcony window with accompanying dark spots on the roof where the sound was. It is an understatement to say that it’s run down and in need of heavy renovations and care. Last little negative was the pool was dried out and unfilled, and there were small stains on our futon mattress (thankfully the sheets covered it up). I really hope it gets it too because this hotel has so much potential with

Excellent stay! Great good but set menus and times. Isolated location. Mostly Japanese style rooms. Stairs for access to top onsen and beach. Onsen on porch is perfect. Going back

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.
