Hotel Seira Shimanto — Hotel in Shimanto

Perched on the hill overlooking the rive this is a contemporary style hotel that looks quite western. However beds are Japanese style futons on Takashimi mats.|Staff was very friendly greeting us and provided a proper indoor bike storage in the main reception area. The rooms are lovely and huge by Japanese standards and overlook the river valley, with a small outside balcony.|There is also washing machine dryer available near reception and an in-house Onsen. Whilst seemingly no-where near a convenience store there are vending machines including one dispensing beer hidden on the second floor.|Unfortunately breakfast was very Japanese and whilst presented very nicely I'm afraid I didn't appreciate the selection, including having to grill your own fish (bait size) on your personal griller.|A nice hotel apart from the fact I was suffering from Japanese breakfast overload by this...

Overall this is an excellent Hotel, which I highly recommend and that I would stay at again. The management showed signs of wanting to get things right so I expect the little things will change. The food here was excellent and it is across the road from the...
