Top Shima Hotel Reviews

Yuyado Tokinoniwa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful ryokan hotel with attentive staff, the overall atmosphere of the place is calming, perfect for a retreat. The kaiseki meals for dinner and breakfast had generous portions - food was pretty good (but not exceptional compared to other ryokans). There's also free yakult, ice cream / ice lollies, tea and late night ramen served at the lounge during different timings, these were nice treats to have after a good soak at the onsen. We loved the convenience of having shuttle buses to and from Karuizawa (inform the hotel in advance via email if you wish to take this bus!), and also to and from the Kusatsu Onsen Yubatake!"

Livemax Resort Echigo Yuzawa

10/10 Excellent

"Position is convenient for train and restaurants. Onsen area was fabulous alternating temperature between the 2 pools each day. All the personal care items you need. Microwave on each floor is handy. There was at least 1 english speaking staff on front counter at all times. Dinner a little expensive but food was nice."

Urakusatsu Tou

10/10 Excellent

"It's an overall excellent hotel with some minor annoying room design problems. It is fairly new, but imitates traditional onsen resort hotels. Most guests were Japanese. There is English speaking staff when needed. The breakfast and dinner was excellent. Mostly Japanese traditional, Gunma regional, and a few French items. The amount of food is large. It is Kaiseki style which means they give you a sampling of many small and medium dishes. It is a good way to learn about kaiseki and Japanese food. They provide English or Japanese menus to explain what the many dishes are. You may not like everything and you should not feel you must eat everything. They understand that. The atmosphere of the dining area is superb. The outdoor onsen is the famous Kusatsu water. Fairly large. Not too crowded. The surrounding trees and bushes are relaxing. The staff maintains the onsen well. The rooms are beautiful, and spacious. But poor design choices were made. The bright entrance light goes on by sensor. You can't stop it from turning on at night. The loud INAX toilet has a ridiculous flowing water white noise feature turned on by default at loud volume. You need to turn it off all the time. The sliding door clicks loudly when closing. Did the designer forget two people share twin rooms? The beds are surrounded by a raised low wooden platform. Beautiful, but non functional. It's awkward to sit at the edge of the bed. The bus station and Yubatake are short walks away on sloping streets."

Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai

10/10 Excellent

"This resort went way above and beyond our expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making us feel very comfortable when explaining how things worked. The buffet, lounge, and free drinks and snacks were wonderful. And the facilities are very clean and very well maintained. The different onsens all have different characteristics and they're all very charming and relaxing 😊 Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious relaxing stay!"
