Shimoda Yamatokan” looks out over the sea from the white sand beach. Savor two types of kaiseki cuisine: charcoal-grilled seafood and traditional seafood dishes.

This time, I would like to introduce “Shimoda Yamatokan” from Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

It is a hot spring inn standing in front of the beach where you can enjoy the view of the ocean.

The hotel “Shimoda Yamato-kan” is a place where you can enjoy the spectacular scenery with the sound of the waves of the beach coming and going in the background music.

All rooms at the Izu Shimoda Onsen have ocean views, and the open-air baths offer a sight worthy of the spectacular scenery.

By train, it takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Tokyo Station to Shimoda Station by JR Express Odoriko.

From the private outdoor hot spring bath “SPA VILLA”, which is available by reservation only, you will be able to see a new kind of scenery that will make you feel as if you are bathing in the beach.

This is the first time I’ve been to a hot spring in Japan.

The Japanese style hot spring “Mahoroba” is a large bathhouse where you can visit the “Senraku” indoor bath, the “Kobu” Izu stone bath, and the “Kirara” mountaintop outdoor bath.

If you look out the large windows, you can see a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, a sight that will refresh your body and soul.

All rooms have an ocean view overlooking the beach of Tarado.

You can open the window and feel the sea breeze blowing in the air, which will make you feel like you are in an Asian resort.

You can also choose a room to enjoy your free time on the spacious deck, or a room to enjoy the rock bath made of natural stone.

Cuisine at Shimoda Yamatokan

There are two different dining styles to choose from, the “Seafood Charcoal Kaiseki” in the charcoal dining room and the “Iso Kaiseki” in the guest room or dining room.

Whichever style you choose, you will be able to fully enjoy the fruits of the sea and the tastes of the season that Shimoda is famous for with all your senses.

Try the local specialties such as “salted sea bream” and “grilled abalone with sake-steamed Garyubai”.
