Shimoda Prince Hotel
A Healing Trip Facing the Pacific Ocean
Shimoda Prince Hotel, located in Shimoda, Izu Peninsula, is in a golden setting where a shallow sea and a white sandy beach spread before you. All the guest rooms are luxury spaces with a view of the ocean. You can fall asleep while listening to the sound of waves and wake up with the sunlight streaming across the ocean - they are all special experiences. Also, at this dog-friendly hotel, you can enjoy a walk on the beach and watch the sunrise over the ocean with your beloved dog.
A Port Town With a History of Opening Up Japan to the Rest of the World
Shimoda is accessible by express train from Tokyo Station without the need to transfer - this promises a comfortable start to your trip. In 1854, Commodore Matthew Perry's Black Ships from the United States arrived at Shimoda Port, to sign the Japan-US Treaty of Peace and Amity and end Japan's self-isolation. Thus, this town is known as an historical place. If you visit the historic sites and museums in the town, you will learn how the international exchange between Japan and the rest of the world resumed at that time.
Enjoy the Bliss of Hot Springs and the Sea
The hotel is equipped with hot spring baths with views of the Pacific Ocean. In the baths, you will feel a sense of openness and immersion with the ocean. Izu Peninsula is a hot spring paradise with more than 10 hot spring resorts, and you can enjoy such a blessing in Shimoda as well. At the restaurant, centering on fresh seafood from Izu Bay, we serve dishes full of the blessings of the ocean to enrich your trip.
To the Old Shrine Protected by the Sea and the Forest
Shirahama Shrine, just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, is the oldest shrine in Izu. It is hidden in the deep green forest and has an impressive, vivid red gate standing by the shore. The shrine has a history of about 2,400 years and is popular as "a shrine for matchmaking" where a love story of the gods is passed down. The gate facing the Pacific Ocean changes its look with fluctuations of the light, and its beauty invites visitors to the world of myths. If you visit Izu, this easily accessible attraction is one you shouldn't miss.
Beautiful ocean, history, nature, hot springs, and a comfortable stay - Shimoda is the best place to refresh away from the busy city. The blue Pacific Ocean and calm leisure time will tempt you to discover new charms in Japan.
