Find Hotels in Shodoshima, Japan

I loved everything about my stay at this hotel. My very reasonably priced room was spacious and had a great view of the bay. The staff was friendly and helpful. I rented a bicycle from them for a day and did a nice ride to the Movie Village at the end of a quiet coastal road. They had free quality coffee service in the lobby. If you stay multiple nights and agree to not have daily cleaning they give you store credit. They offer free use of a DVD player for your room so I could watch an English language movie (bring your own DVD). All around great experience, most of all because the staff was so helpful with a variety of things including the island bus schedule (there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel). I am looking forward to my next stay at this great hotel.

I am the solo traveler who stay in the sea view Japanese room. The view is so stunning. It's not a traditional Japanese hotel. They let the customers took the Japanese style dinner and breakfast in their sea view dinning room. Their dinner time is 6:00/6:30/7:00 pm. Breakfast is 7:00/7:30/8:00am. I booked a dinner but I have no idea what's that. As I didn't eat cooked fish, they changed vegetables tempura to me! Thanks so much! I suggest let the customer to know before. They have a shuttle bus service from Tonosho-port（土庄港）to Hotel. I found their email on internet. and wrote them an email to ask for the service. I hope Agoda can add in their contact info. down the hills have some shops, but as I am lazy I just stayed in the hotel . Enjoy onsen and the free massage chair. Also shops some food souvenirs. Bring you own facial skin care. only shampoo, conditioner and body wash gel are provided. If you can wake up earlier, you may enjoy the sunrise view of angel road.

Although very simple and pared back, the stay at Mamma beat all the other hotels during our 10 day stay in Japan. Its setting is idyllic and the atmosphere serene and restful. A braceful cycling expedition round the island, wholesome food, forest bathing and a soak in the Japanese Bath at Mamma, means your spirits will be restored in no time. Recommend lunch at Shima House.

Our very basic room would have been poor value but we were upgraded making the stay much more pleasant. If you are western, be prepared for a very Japanese experience. The food in the DBB package was fantastic, especially dinner, so fresh and well prepared. The staff, despite little English, were very helpful. If you want to stay on Shodoshima the choice is limited. To visit the art islands of Naoshima or Teshima, Takamatsu could be an alternative.

The service is excellent and the dinner is just superb. The steak n pasta were done just right n not oily at all. My 9 years old daughter said it is the best carrot she has and she ate up all from both my n my husband 's plate. The dessert was also very delicious. Every thing is more than we expected. The old couple who managed the whole things were very kind. Definitely will come again n recommend to others !

It's my second time to visit and it's the reason I visited Shodoshima island again。 If you check the pictures,the view from deck, from outdoor hotspring and breakfast place are for real! The views itself are worthy for second time visiting. Yeah the facilities are old but the staff maintain everyplace very well. The Japan style dinner is well served by table except the summer buffet period from 14th July to the end of August. We rented a car from hotel for ¥6830 for over night, which would only rent 6 hours at other places. The owner runs a singular drink happy hour from 3pm to 5pm and it costs less than ¥1,000 as I remember. The hotel has pickup service from the port from 3pm.The next day shuttle service is 8:20 AM,9:30 and 9:50 AM.

Hotel Matsukaze is a real Ryokan-style home away from home. We had a nice tatami-room with great sea view and were immediately able to relax. Food was excellent, furthermore, we had a separate room for breakfast and dinner and enjoyed the quiet and secluded atmosphere. Service was outstanding (bus shuttle to catch us from the harbor, bicycles to go to Angel Road, many great hints as to buses, even for our further travels! etc.) and everyone made us feel welcome. People were not just professional and polite in a classical Japanese-style, but warm-hearted and seemed interested in our personal well-being. Unfortunately we only stayed two nights - this place is worth while staying for a much longer time. This was the starting point of a longer travel through Shikoku with several five-star Ryokan, but this was our nicest experience. We certainly would love to be back.

i would love to share this very best experience of stay in this hotel to all esp. for foreigners. in my stay, there seems no other foreigner in this hotel, apparently this is a classic japanese hotel from environment, facility and staff service- this is not a complaint- they may not work very much on outward promotions. most rooms are facing to the sea, could enjoy sunrise from window view. dinner and breakfast are incredibly nice and traditional here with island special. while we return to hotel after night walk, sleeping mat are laid ready on tatami for us. there is also sheltered outdoor hotspring on ground floor, through its quite tiny, we are enjoy with it. there is also japanese bathing clothes for guest to wear to hotpsring. you could also book the shuttle bus to return to the ferry port- free of charge. the japanese uncle at front desk even bow us to farewell us from hotel. appreciate alot the professionalism of the staff service, thanks to them.

The place reek of damp and the stench is unbearable once the air-con is turned on. I was physically repulsed the minute I enter the place which was unattended until the coca cola man came to fill the machine an hour later. It's ran by a old couple and don't believe the Pictures you see. Agoda should have taken this place off their listing. It's a rust bucket of a building and dangerous. I booked for 3 days but fled the place the following day to The Olivean. I was the only guest there as I did not see anyone entering or leaving the building. It's situated in middle of nowhere in a tiny village which is in darkness by 8pm. No shops, restaurant, bars or anything nearby. It's like a dracula village. DON'T GO, STAY WELL AWAY
