This place far exceeded my expectations. It is easily accessible from both bus and train. Many other attractions and restaurants in walking distance. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ended up eating most of my meals here because the food was incredibly delicious. The onsen has two many pools, one inside and one outside. The only sauna there is available for an affordable private rental of 80 minutes. Super clean and tidy and lots of common space to either find space near people or alone. Large shared kitchen. Highly recommend staying here.

The staff hardly speaks English, despite the language barrier they were very nice and definitely helped us a lot with any request. The hotel is not suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs, there is no elevator and we had to change rooms to a more expensive room so that we would have fewer stairs, apart from this problem the rooms are lovely the view is wonderful and the food is great, everything is very clean and very pleasant

We enjoyed a relaxing night at ShimaBlue. We are a family of four with two teenage children and whilst it was tight, we enjoyed some relaxing time in nature. The ONSEN on the deck was the highlight. There is not much to do In the small town so this is a great place if you need a rest! The BBQ dinner was amazing (note you do cook for yourself).

The room was cozy and comfortable! Loved the traditional rooms! The staff was very polite and friendly! Also helped us a lot when we had questions and showed us everything and what to wear etc. We just was unsure about the rules for tattoos bc we both had some (more anime/manga and animal tattoos) and we messaged the hotel before and they said to cover them or just use the private ones which we also reserved in advance (they was awesome!). But as we arrived there, the receptionist told us just some special Japanese tattoos are not allowed (forget the correct name for it but we guess the common yakuza ones). So we were able to use all public Onsens too what was really awesome! Bc we thought we just can use the private ones! It was also possible to order a veggie Menu!

This place was incredible. 1000 years old and very good value for money. I did get scared about bears when I went for a smoke late at night, then the anxiety carried over into my bedroom where I was having nightmares about Oni and other japanese themed ghosts haunting my room. The staff were incredible, but I was extremely disappointed that there was neither an iron available (possibly due to the tatami floors) and there was no ironing service available from the staff. I would be happy to pay, but ironed clothes are very important to me and I would assume many guests feel the same. I will give the bed a bad rating because after a life of pocketed springs I cannot sleep on the floor. I find futons to be completely unbearable.
