Bay Resort Hotel Shodoshima

The hotel is located by the water and has a beautiful view. The room is clean and comfortable, and the window faces the inner bay of Shodoshima Island. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and sea from the room. The hot spring pool is on the top floor of the hotel, the 12th floor, and it is a sea view hot spring. The hotel's buffet breakfast is good. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to Tonosho Port and Fukuda Port. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, which is very convenient to go to Olive Park and Twenty-four Eyes Studio Park, but the bus service is relatively rare. The hotel staff is warm and friendly, and the service is excellent. There is an employee at the front desk who can speak Chinese.

The sea view room has a good view, but the quality of the two meals is average. For the same price, the two meals provided by the hot spring hotels in Kinugawa and Yufuin are both separate kaiseki cuisine, while this hotel only arranges a buffet, and the price is expensive, so the cost performance in this aspect is average, but everything else is okay.

It is far from the pier, but there are two buses every day for pick-up. There is a bus stop at the door, which is very convenient for going to scenic spots. The room is large and spacious, and there is the sea outside. There are hot springs and swimming pools. The only drawback is that the two meals are very average and not very delicious.

The room is OK. The hotel itself is very remote. The front desk and the surrounding area are dark. There is no service. The hotel itself provides meals. Dinner is 6880 yuan per person. I didn't choose it based on other people's comments. The surrounding area is desolate and there is no place to eat.

The scenery outside the window is pleasant, the room is large and clean, the food is quite unique but not very varied, the hot springs are unique, the location is a bit remote but there is a shuttle bus, and you can also pick up bicycles 🚲 for fun

The staff were very kind. The room had been remodeled, but there was still an old room smell. There was a wide variety of food to choose from, and it was enjoyable.

There are basically no Chinese people in the Shodoshima Hotel, and the waiters' English is not very good, but they are really hard-working and can communicate with translators. The service is also excellent and very enthusiastic. The hotel room is super large and Japanese-style. Our family sat together and chatted comfortably after taking a bath. The hot spring is also purely Japanese-style. There are not many pools, just one inside and one outside, but the experience is very authentic. It is much better than the experience of taking a bath with Shanghai aunts in a business hotel in Kyoto (I am from Shanghai). Due to the epidemic, many shipping information to the surrounding islands has not been updated online. The front desk service guy kindly helped us make a guide, what time to arrive at which island and which ship to change, it's awesome, thank you. Since we stayed for two consecutive days, the buffet for two nights was the same. The hotel specially added a portion of oysters for each person for us. This is the service in Japan. The epidemic has reduced the number of tourists in Shodoshima. There are many tourists from outside the island of Naoshima nearby. In comparison, Shodoshima is much bleak. However, Shodoshima's Soy Sauce Street and the distinctive Angel Road, as well as their noodles, should be more popular with Chinese tourists. So I hope that Sino-Japanese relations will be better and Chinese tourists can come to this beautiful island to experience the authentic Japanese hot springs. There is another detail. My father is 80 years old and has never taken a hot spring bath. We were very worried. My sister specially asked a Japanese tourist to help take care of him. After coming out, my father said that the old man could speak Shanghainese. What a coincidence. When we were in the elevator, a middle-aged man also took the initiative to say "Hello!" to me in Chinese. The Japanese people are still very friendly.
