Hotels Near Shimamura in Awaji

I was thinking about going somewhere on my wedding anniversary, but I was thinking of quitting this corona disaster after all... I happened to see TOTO Hotel in Awaji Island on SNS. I made a reservation for a Nesonette type room meal and not many rooms. The exterior and interior are stylish and not cluttered, and the rooms are comfortable. The food was just right for our age, especially the breakfast, which was well seasoned and the kiln-cooked rice was a little scorched, so I ate too much. Lol The most wonderful thing was the people who served the customers, their concern and smiles were really wonderful. Of course, I didn't mention the facilities. In addition, it was a hotel that made me want to come to stay.

The building, designed to imitate a passenger ship, looks good on the hill. It's a little over 600m straight from the Nojima Fault Preservation Museum in Hokudan Earthquake Memorial Park, and it's a little far from the fault line, but it's easy to imagine that it must have had a considerable impact. It's probably quite old, but it's fun once you get used to it. The ship faces north, and the deck (5th floor) is a large public bath. The aft ship (passenger) cabins on the 2nd to 4th floors are lined up on the port sea side with a capacity of 4 people each. Circular windows are lined up vertically between the front and the front, but this is a rare single Western-style room, and it seems that there is a room for two people next to it. The accommodation plan with 2 meals seems to be more than the price, but for breakfast, except for hot vegetable hot pot and basic dishes, I go to the buffet style to get it with drinks. Perhaps because it wasn't fully booked, or because we spread out the time slots, we were able to enjoy a variety of dishes at just the right pace. Wouldn't it be nice if the air conditioning, ventilation, and outlets in the room were new?

民宿好大！好舒服！

The hotel's environment and rooms are very beautiful. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery near the sea. There is an art gallery nearby less than a minute away. Although there is no convenience store near the hotel, there are different drink options in the hotel. The hotel staff understands English. And their service attitude is very friendly. It’s worth staying.

The hotel is located close to the Awaji Yumebutai, which is convenient if you want to see that attraction. There’s only another hotel new available when I visited, and it was more expensive, so we chose this one based on the price and location. It’s in a very chill neighbourhood and there were no tourists there. The staff did not speak any English, which made it difficult to communicate. There was little service rendered and we were told to set up the futon ourselves. There was no shower in our room and we had to use a public shower, which was very inconvenient. Overall, the room was clean and decent. Although it is quite a dated hotel, the view from its rooms are quite amazing. The food is also above average and worth trying.

All the staff are very nice and polite. They are very helpful as well. Location is good and there was free parking provided. Just next to Awaji Kaikyo Park. The ocean view connecting room is very convenient for family, but one of the room has partial ocean view only. Overall, we are satisfied with the stay.

This is the BEST hotel in the entire world. I had the greatest time of my life, and staying in the Dragon Quest Slime's Room fulfilled my top life goal. The hotel exceeded my expectations and more! The staff was extremely attentive. Within 5 minutes of calling the front desk, a staff arrived to the parking lot to help us bring our bags to our room (and we had a lot of bags from shopping - thank you!). Upon check-in, a staff explained the hotel and its facilities to us in great detail, and we also really enjoyed the check-in snack and drinks. Entering the Dragon Quest room was magical. The staff guided me through the room, and I got to open the treasure chest like a true hero. I absolutely LOVE the gift from staying in the room. The yukata is beautifully made, and I really appreciate all the slime detail on the fabric. The hotel room was very comfortable and I loved the birthday fruit plate with all the slime decorations! Everything I needed was available in the room. The bathroom was especially impressive. I love how cozy and comfortable the bath tub feels! And I also enjoyed all the hidden Dragon Quest references throughout the room! Finding the hidden mini medals was such a great treat, and I truly feel like I am inside the video game! The dinner and breakfast service was OUTSTANDING! The beef melted in my mouth. My husband was especially appreciative of the food accommodation since he does not eat seafood. The drinks were amazing, and the Dragon Quest dessert was just delightful! We had some good conversations with the dinner and the breakfast staff, and they were so fun and so friendly to talk to! It was especially heart-warming when the staff gave me the final mini medal to keep and a small message scroll to read on the road. I have already told everyone I know about how great this hotel is. Please give everyone who worked on April 17 and 18, 2023 a raise and a promotion! They were fantastic! I wish I remember their names, but I was so overwhelmed with how awesome the facilities were, I forgot :( Thank you SO much for such a wonderful experience I will never forget!

Auberge in the forest. The facilities are clean and the hospitality of the employees is comparable to that of a first-class hotel. The food tastes good and quantity is good, and I am convinced that it goes well with the wine paired by the sommelier.　 Alcohol in the room is free and amenities are carefully selected. I was able to spend a relaxing and elegant time.

Since the transportation on Awaji Island is very inconvenient, and I am not driving by myself, the location of the hotel is also difficult to get to. However, the hotel staff were very enthusiastic to help me solve the problem. They provided a shuttle service so that I could put down my luggage before checking in. You are free to go to other parts of the island first. The view from the hotel room is also first-rate. You can look at the sea and Akashi Bridge, and you can also see the beautiful sunrise. If you are traveling by car, it is highly recommended.
