A wonderful and unique place. Difficult to say what we preferred best: the fantastic view, the delicious and sophisticated food prepared by a first-class chef, the hospitable and gentle owners and their staff, the excursions that could be easily made from the hotel (also by boat!)....

Great food and a place to get away from it all

This hotel is on a quiet inlet of the bay away from the day to bustle of the nearby village. A great place to go for downtime, with excellent food.

Wonderful

Quiet Far away to the centre The dog is very lovely and she always wait for guest to open the glass door !!! The staff is helpful and nice even they cannot speak English so well (but communicable), and a staff is from Taiwan (but do not know the situation of her, maybe just holding working visa to start a temp. Job in Japan) Highly recommended but please do not drive to there if your driving skill is not good enough

Very unique hotel in Shima

Its not only a room but a suite, very comfy beds, very nice sea view as well. Good quality & delicious breakfast & dinner. Eventhough the location is a bit far away from the city center & Ugata train station but pick up service to and fro the train station could be arranged in advance. Would like to come to Shima once more and for sure would stay in this hotel again.

Fremragende ryokan i smukke omgivelser

Jeg havde to overnatninger på denne fantastiske ryokan. Den ligger lige ned til vandet og man kan se ud over hele bugten. Maden var fremragende og baderummene var store og flotte. Hiogiso ligger ca. 10 minutters kørsel fra den nærmeste station, men personalet kan sørge for at man bliver transporteret frem og tilbage. Jeg kan varmt anbefale Hiogiso hvis man vil prøve at bo på en traditionel ryokan i smukke omgivelser.
