Nakanoshima

A truly unique hotel. This is where Bond would have stayed in the 1970s if he came to Japan. It’s sort of super traditional, dated 20th century and luxury modern all at the same time. Massage chairs in the rooms and a futon on tatami mats to sleep. Free sake in the evening. Incredible outdoor hot bath. Highlight of my vacation so far

Fabulous experience! The hotel is located on a private island with a private walk path and many onzen hotsprings. The room is very beautiful with a wonderful view. The staff are super nice and also very professional. And last but not least, the food is one of the highlights of the experience here! 😋❤️

I can't believe this hotel only has a 3-star rating as it is absolutely fabulous. My wife and I stayed for only one night after completing our 5-day walk of the Kumano Kodo and found the hotel to be like heaven on earth. The service and attention to detail were first class. Highly recommended.

One of our best Onsen hotel throughout Japan! Stay there in June 2024, the service is great from the parking to the short boat transfer to the hotel. The room is very beautiful in the island. The onsen is beautiful withe great amenties with nice view along the island. Women can wear the given suit for the outdoor onsen which the upper floor has small grotto and bed where you can lay in the hot water which is nice. Still to little of massage chair provided for the onsen. The dinner course is top notch. Excellent wagyu shabu with extra complimentary beef provided. The beer and ice cream also provided after taking bath. The hotel shop have interesting products to choose. The breakfast is okay with good quality of food. We also booked the dolphins trip with the hotel and have a nice time private kayak tour just not far from the hotel. Great unforgettable experience here!

We just got engaged and I can assure you the staff goes above and beyond to make your experience unique and unforgettable. I won't share the many things they did for us but this plus the seaside hotspring as well as other surprises in the island made us regret not being able to spend more time there. We will come back for sure on our next trip to Japan! Thank you very much for having us ♥️

Overall, a good experience, though not a truly Japanese one. ||The hotel is the sole presence on the island. Make sure to take the walk to the top of the island as the views are worth the effort. The staff are great, the food too. Parking in town is free and convenient, the staff taking bags to the nearby dock for the 5 minute trip to the hotel. We stayed in a room with an outside bath (not geo-thermal water), which are in the new building near the dock. These rooms are spacious, well equipped and well finished. The majority of rooms (perhaps 40?) are in the main building on the other side of the island. No idea how these compare. The onsen and rotenburo are supplied with geo-thermal water.||The hotel seemed full during our visit in March. The majority of guests, perhaps 75%, appeared to not be Japanese. The whole onsen/kaiseki experience is uniquely Japanese, however their absence makes the hotel feel a bit like a theme park.||A fairly pricey place to stay, but (probably) worth it. We'd like to return.

This hotel was a wonderful experience at the end of our trip to Japan. It has a very cute setting and all the staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. I would like to give a special thank you to Ako Kawashima who served us during dinner. She is a very nice young lady who was very kind to us and explained everything to us in detail.

It’s a perfect getaway for the hustle and bustle of our city life. We have enjoyed a lot of the onsen experience. Worth mention that the hotel has offered several activities on spot, fishing, a walking trail around the island with a scenic onsen foot bath.
