Shima Onsen Yoshimoto

Everything is very nice, especially we are surprised that the Ryokan serves kids' menu with beautiful dishes. The onsen is superb, and not so crowded. We are served by staff who can speak fluent English and it has no difficulty in communication. The Ryokan is a bit far, but it made the stay very peaceful & quiet.

服務人員非常親切，幾乎每個服務人員都面帶笑容，房子很乾淨、又大，還很貼心準備好冰水在房間，家庭式風呂，空間很大，很乾淨，特別要說飯店的供應的早、晚餐，真的非常好吃，謝謝佳元，給我們一家人美好的一個旅遊回憶。

I stayed at Tokiwasure-no-Yado Yoshimoto for two nights in December 2023. Everything was impeccable - the service, the room, the onsen and the staff were all lovely. Much thought and care has gone into the elaborate, exquisitely plated kaiseki breakfasts and dinners and each room has all the comforts and amenities a luxury onsen getaway could ask for. Even better, this ryokan did not discriminate against me as a solo traveller and allowed me to stay in the main building in a spacious and luxurious room with its own private onsen. There is a separate area in each room with a private bath for changing, cosmetics and drying one’s hair which I found highly convenient and made good use of during my stay. The private onsen attached to my room was comfortable, overlooking the lush green forest and hillside where the ryokan is situated. I will definitely be stopping by Shima Onsen again and Tokiwasure no Yado Yoshimoto will be my accommodation of choice.
