Shikabe Holidays from AU$411

Rooms are small but far from the smallest I've stayed in in Japan. Staff are efficient and the breakfast buffet is very good.

Great ryokan experience

Best breakfast buffet in town. Wonderful onsen. Larger rooms with comfortable beds

Very nice staff and the included breakfast was incredibly delicious

The rooftop onsen is so great at this hotel—there’s an infinity pool edge where you can look out into the horizon and sky that is so beautiful to see (there’s a section outside where you can lie down in the water; they also provide women towels to shield against the wind). I would come back to this hotel for this experience alone! The food was pretty good too—stand-outs include the scallop, amaebi, kanpachi, and the crab legs! As for my room, I splurged on the junior suite because of the tub—while soaking, you can look out the window and watch the clouds go by, a wonderful feeling. Lastly, the staff offered a welcome gift of dango—probably the best I’ve ever had.
