10/10
I stayed 3 night in this hotel because it was autumn high season and this is the only one cost-effective hotel available from Kyushu to Tohoku. With JR pass, it was not bad idea to stay in a small city from where shinkansen can be reached in about 30 minutes, and them, to many tourist spots of Japan. It was very nice surprise when I discovered that the small and quiet city Shimada has several interesting attractions: The world's longest wood bridge, from where in sunny days there is a magnificent view of Fuji Mountain; The old buildings in the east bank of Ooi river that show how and why of man-powered Ooi river crossing during Edo era, one of the most difficult points of ancient Tokkaido route. And what is the best, no one else except me in the bucolic and very quiet street when elsewhere in Japan is overcrowded with tourists. Also, in the neighboring station Kanaya, steam locomotive tours departure daily following he course odd Ooi river. Regarding the hotel, is is clean and comfort, with very kind staff and good breakfast. In summary, very nice choice for the days without other options.
