Excellent stay! Great good but set menus and times. Isolated location. Mostly Japanese style rooms. Stairs for access to top onsen and beach. Onsen on porch is perfect. Going back
The location was great and the staff was lovely but the room and the first floor smells like mold. So much mold!

This hotel is a mixed bag, but unfortunately leans more negative.
For the positive, the onsen had a gorgeous view; the staff was excellent, kind and helpful; they offer an insanely useful free shuttle service to the main station, and it’s at a great location being beachside.
For the negatives, the entire hotel and rooms had a horrendous musty smell that smelled like wet walls and flooring. This smell never went away either (raining or not). On top of this, there were MANY leak stains on the walls, roofs and closets throughout the hotel and our room. It started to rain when we stayed and I could already hear another leak near our balcony window with accompanying dark spots on the roof where the sound was. It is an understatement to say that it’s run down and in need of heavy renovations and care. Last little negative was the pool was dried out and unfilled, and there were small stains on our futon mattress (thankfully the sheets covered it up).
I really hope it gets it too because this hotel has so much potential with
Beautiful location, ocean front. We got the room with outdoor onsen ocean facing. The room was well maintained. The packaged meals (breakfast and dinner) were well prepared! Both my wife and I loved it! Would definitely come back!
Staff were super friendly and welcoming. A great coastal onsen away from the busy cities. Views of the coastline from the outdoor air bath and east access to the beach for swimming and surfing were a highlight. Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were great value and included local fish, lobster and abalone.
Beach front Ryokan with exceptional service, great views, and fantastic onsen.
The beach has really fun waves for boogie boarding and surfing. There is a surf shop just a few minutes walk from the hotel that rents wetsuits and boards.
Hotel was very clean and relaxing.
It was beautiful stay at the yamatokan. The view from our room was so awesome. We didn’t order for the meals but we could enjoy all of our stay. There are a lot of things to see around this area if you like to enjoy the ocean. Surfing, fishing, kayaking, diving, etc...

the whole building looks tired and really need renovation.
one of the best authenic japanese seafood dinner and breakfast ever had. not for the picky eater. raw fish and seafood caught right off the shores of the hotel. older hotel with a beautiful beach right in front. if not a raw fish seafood eater, shimoda town wth quite a range of restaurants including italian and western fare. unreal indoor private bath or large public bath with excellent views. great if you want to go native!
Veldig hyggelige ansatte og topp mat. Men hotellet bærer preg av å være gammelt og dårlig vedlikeholdt. Det lukter mugg i nesten hele hotellet. Vi måtte skifte rom to ganger, før vi ved tredje forsøkt fikk et ok rom. Det første rommet vi hadde, oppdaget vi en kakerlakk i tillegg til at det trengte grundig oppgradering; møbler hvor malingen var flasset av, tapet som var revet av på veggene, privat onsen som i realiteten var en stor plastbøtte tydelig preget av manglende vedlikehold). På det andre rommet var det sterk sopplukt og tydelige sopp og muggskader i taket. Etter oppholdet luktet all bagasje av mugg. Vi fikk nytt rom når vi spurte om det, men ingen form for beklagelse (bortsett fra noe som ble mumlet lavt ved utsjekk) eller kompensasjon for et opphold som på langt nær ble slik vi hadde ønsket eller planlagt for.
